How come the Guards in respective cities, eg. Stormwind, the Guards are allowed to spit on DK players but the players can only spit on the ground?
Yeah, using an old version of WotLK, whatever. It’s just funny Blizzard’s stance on the whole thing and either they slipped or just thought it part of the game…
Because tbe reason they removed spitting was because players were using it to target people of a certain catagory, likely isnt rly abusable by the npcs using it.
Regardless of its removsl reason being alittle silly over all
Again, this feels more than a little conspiratorial.
May it have contributed to the removal that Asmongold and his sheep launched a massive /spit campaign vs store bought mounts and thus creating an utterly toxic atmosphere for people just playing the game? Certainly. Was it the main reason? I really, REALLY doubt it.
Frat boy culture and all that. If people didn’t want these changes they should’ve been telling Blizzard to be less r-wordy.
Well it just seems like the reason to me. It’s actually easy to target someone for such things. For minorities or whoever you would need to learn about the person first.
Maybe. I’ve only ever seen the issue through a certain lens.
It used to be okay to target Gnomes specifically and /spit on them.
In general it would be pretty common to do as a thing to the opposite faction and it was obviously never a positive thing, but it was okay to do.
It always seemed like a reaction to people doing it to the easy target of those with store mounts
Does every point you try to make always have to revolve around someone being discriminated? Honestly in the EU servers It seemed to be as a result of the TBC mounts, and happened right around that time. I remember the mass spit spams whenever I’d mount up on the collectors edition, personally I found it a great way of showeringfor free, and in these tough times should really be brought back.
But just because you REALLY think it isn’t right, doesn’t make it wrong. Its as plausible as any other explanation, and not everything has to be about racism.
Because NPCs spit on DKs for lore reasons and so they are directing their hate to the character and not the player, but players who use spit on masse used to spit on players who bought TBC mount to show their hate for those players.
Any form of hate and discrimination towards characters is ok because characters are fictional and fictional hate is roleplay, it is not real.
Any form of hate and discrimination towards players is depreciable. If you are unable to show your opinion against the collector mount without respecting those who do not share your opinion and buy the mount then there is something wrong with you.
Showing respect only for those who share your values is not being a respectful person, it is easy to only respect those you like, that is why being a respectful person requires you to accept that other people are against your opinions and still respect them.
