Does Ion Hazzikostas read Blizz forums?

This is also false and tbh a quite biased opinion

In that case, why do people on criminal charges even bother having trials in the first place?^^ If the evidence says that he/she did 100% then why bother “argue” about it in trials?^^

it’s a cancer of the community’s making you can’t blame blizzard for gearscore or rio it’s completely in the hands of the community and their toxic attitude and obsession with mini maxing look this spread sheet says you could spent your time more productively if you didn’t post on the forum by 0000000000.3 %

nah, this is false and you are bias

The lack of balance and action from Blizzard does not support this statement. Leaving some classes and specs in a broken state for so long does not fit my idea of working really hard to connect with the player base, let alone all of the other issues.

Yet you lend the lie to this statement, assuming your happy with the game of course.

Because everyone have a right to a legal defence regardless of what they did.

But the law can be interpreted differently. 1 person can try arguing it as pre-mediated murder for example while the other can try manslaughter and etc.

So? :man_shrugging:

So the defense can obviously try “interpreting” it as man-slaughter while the prosesection will go for murder. Yet…you claimed that its false and biased? :thinking:

People rarely create new forum threads to express how happy they are about something. Actually sometimes forums give false impression.

For example, I remember at launch of WOD expansion when Blizzard change random heroic dungeon loot to personal loot (before that there was need before greed system). Everyday there were about 10-20 forum threads asking for reversing that change and returning to the need before greed. So Blizzard listened and returned it, and the backlash was instant. People, who were silent and happy with new personal loot system, created hundreds and thousands of posts. Blizzard reversed back to Personal loot again less than a week later.

My point is when you see many threads complaining, it doesn’t mean that the majority are unhappy. Happy people are usually silent.

Adding to that, it’s also their job to ensure the defendant gets a fair trial.

It’s not their job to get their client declared innocent no matter what.

i aint gonna defend WoW of ur opinons we’re all entitled to them.

its about 3% of WoW that actually use media surrounding WoW, so there aint no evidence for the other 97% alot do actually enjoy WoW lmao its alot more then 3%> heck BFA even at its worst moments had more then 3% of its playerbase enjoying the game.

and a certain portion of the game did get exactly what they wanted. heres the factor. the reason SL is as it is now, is because of what was critised on these forums during BFA.

People complained:

WF/TF Shouldnt be here. They removed it.
Raiding Should matter more. They nerfed all content around it.
Less World Content. They made it all optional and ignorable
Less Dailies. all progression is now almost on a weekly bases.
Less Loot. We’ve gotten to loot scarcity.

If u go back to how this forum looked during legion and BFA u will reliese the playerbase or vocal Playerbase got exactly what they wanted. but heres the caviat.

The game throughout legion and bfa had obtained a certain amount of Players based on those expansions design. well now they arent happy because WoW no longer plays on the same philosphys as those expansions.

So now that crowd of players hate the game

the same as the next expansion we’l lsee the game yeet down the other end towards these complaints and obtain the other portion of the players peeved at blizzard for their changes.

SL is basically the large majority of BFAS Critic. thats justr how it is. Because these forums are full of only playeers against the current design of the game while the 80% of the playerbase remain silent throughout.

blizzard only has the critic from those players to base their changes on.

golden players know how to make their own groups, climb their own RIO and will get to be among those high RIOs.

their also in guilds… which is a place RIO has no power.

The difference in interpretation has nothing to do with lying.

Sure there are some niche cases where a defense attorney will maliciously manipulate information (heck even a prosecutor can do it) to help his client but it doens’t mean that lawyers are trained to lie.

Besides, any claim needs to be proven so even if a lawyer interprets something in a given way then he needs to prove that his interpretation is logically sound and fits the facts.

Exactly :slight_smile:

Topics about how much people are enjoying stuff also don’t tend to get much traction. People who are here to complain are more likely to have a lot more to say.

There is a bunch of forum regulars with varied views. Personally I am enjoying the expansion, there are always going to be aspects of the game I dislike so the good has to outweigh the bad to hold my interest.

We can’t see any of the data Blizz can, the metrics they use etc.

What you said is correct, however you are not taking into consideration how these things got implemented.

And they lowered loot drops, because of it to counteract the supply, leading to the the same problem as before, a full BiS list is nearly unacheavable (maybe unless you have gold tokens to spare).

They also increased its time consumption and lowered the rewards.

But they nerfed raiding aswell, or atleast the drop rates.

What people were asking was not less dailies, it was less mandatory dailies. For example if want to only PvP i should not be forced into doing WQ for AP.

Yet to see how this pans out and if its a fix or not.

I cannot argue that, but its blizzards fault for doing that and its their lack of competence to adjust the game to fit both play styles, I don’t see a reason why the game cannot cater to both the raid logger and the no-lifer, to the min/maxer and the casual. What we have now is half the people complaining that there is nothing to do and the other half complaining that Torghast is mandatory, you can have it both ways, make more content but don’t force people into it.

because when you’re the lead developer of a very popular game designed to cater to all types of players you are always going round with a target on your back for people to throw stones at you.

And no matter what you say…
Do…
Think…

You will never please everybody.

Ok, why ?

Is a very broad stroke to say the least.

Its not a zero/sum thing, and as soon people and Blizzard realize this the sooner we can start moving forward.

For example what exactly is stopping them from making from making more content for solo players that is not mandatory for people who just want to do group content ? Why were islands and Torghast mandatory for progression driven players ? And in wod’s case why is that there was no content aside from Raiding and PvP ?

Multiple types of people can enjoy a game this diverse in activities, its Blizzards own hubris that is making these statements and its your own bias to believe them.

well i wouldnt call it unachievable.its very achievable. its just slow realistically however. raid drops have been buffed which has basically put it back to where it was.

well yeah because they’re susposed to dipict more now, i wont say if thats succesful or not as i dont care for that part of the game.

well yeah.but u have to remember Too much loot was a argument made also.

people were advocating for less loot.

it naturally means u see content at the ilevel relevant at it, instead of easily overgearing everything… it has fixed that issue

CN Was far harder even at heroic then prior and the average gear level of players did contribute to that.

because u simply cant.

If u award Open world content, Competitiv eplayers get salty.
if u randomize the ilevel of loot, competitive players get salty.
if you push the verticle grind casual players get salty
if theres too much loot The people who long term farm things like M+ get mad.
if theres too little loot People get salty.

the playstyle that someone designs is sooo different

Vanilla WoW Systems compared to BFA Systems are too different to just middle ground. blizzard basically just have to find the majority on this one and run with it… because they’ll peeve one side of the playerbase.

i can agree on this. imho Soul ash should just be something awarded fromeverything… u get a weekly that awards 1250 Soul Ash which can be earnt from all content.

Just throw Aesthetical rewards into torghast.

The forums are not an indication of the state of the game. Blizz uses big data to determine their actions, and there’s plenty we don’t see - for example in customer support tickets, activity statistics.

I’m assuming Blizz has at least the minimum of tracking statistics - they can determine at any point what exactly causes players to quit. They can see where EXACTLY players drop the game, they can see which steps cause friction. Then they address that. The forums are a waste of time, the whole purpose here is just trash posting.

What Blizz looks out for is activity and types of activity. If, let’s say engagement is up and people remain in the game for longer, that means they’re doing something right.

The forums will always focus on negativity. Just look at the reaction to D2 Resurrected - so many tried being salty, because salt here is currency. The saltier you are, the better.

People who enjoy the game, they play the game. They don’t come here complaining on the forums. And there’s a whole lot of them.

It’s activity that matters. Blizz knew BFA is garbage because 2/3 of the population unsubbed.
