I haven’t bullied you at all. Nor have I picked apart what you have said.
I have always respected your opinion. But I disagree with it quite strongly. But you did present a theory which was very tinfoil hat, and I have presented the reason why it is. That’s not bullying or picking apart. Not even looking for a fault or flaw.
At the end of the day, you seem to refuse to believe that someone likes the way that the game is designed.
I’ll leave this here again:

Pilgrimfive:
Ofcourse they are hiring professionals to improve engagement. Ofcourse they know who their target audience is. Ofcourse they can predict what people do, and how they will react.
But you keep making out it’s a sinister activity.
But you don’t consider that might be exactly what we want.
I play video games for an escape, to be taken on an adventure and an experience where I don’t need to think about the outside world.
The difference I have over some people (apparently), is that I know when it’s time to stop and go back to reality, when to put my credit card away. That’s called self control, and you’ll be surprised at how many other players can do that.
You’re saying FOMO is bad because they target people.
I’m saying. Hey I want this. This is exactly the type of game and experience that I want. Blizzard are providing that for me, and I’m having a great time. And I put the game down and get on with life when I’m finished.
That’s not a bad thing. That’s how it’s designed to be played.
Are people going to fall victim? Sure, but again that is their problem. People fall victim to all sorts of normal every day activities which are considered healthy. Some people exercise too much, eating too much fruit rots your teeth… the list can go on. We’re human, we all have our faults… hell I even had a pizza tonight and I said I was giving up (that’s tomorrows me problem).
Just accept the game is design a certain way because people enjoy it being that way. they’re not going out of their way to get you. But they are a business, they are allowed to promote themselves to make more money.
Because I don’t believe that you have read it.
that’s not picking apart you opinion. Or bullying you. Not intentionally anyway.
Its pointing out that what you seem to fear

The problem is a company uses PSYCHOLOGISTS to TARGET those people
about the games design, is actually what some people want to have in their relaxation time.

So for them to put them back would mean that it’s false advertising and not fair to those who did buy legion to get them.
What about store mounts? Going out of store soon,after few years they put on trading post, some on crossover promotions.
Magetower i did em first day on all 3 specs,it was so easy with right legendarys,i found it harder on DF,had more try as lack of legendarys and cutting my class in half.
Once again there’s no harm at all getting them back,add recolors aswell .
I wouldn’t stop on MT , CM aswell ,previous elite sets /even glads,all that fomo lately isnt fomo as u can get via promotions and stores.
Edit:
Up until recently you could have bought acc with glad/cm/mt and merge the accs

I haven’t bullied you at all. Nor have I picked apart what you have said.
I have always respected your opinion. But I disagree with it quite strongly.

you’re wearing your tin-foil hat

I have always respected your opinion

That’s the most tinfoil hat idea I have ever heard

At the end of the day, you seem to refuse to believe that someone likes the way that the game is designed.
Not really. I even acknowledged that
But:

Now people can see who they are dealing with
Someone that will play the victim and someone who want’s a proper discussion, when in reality all you do is stick your fingers in your ear, name call and wave off any article and science paper thrown at you

Yes I think your statement:

is a tinfoil hat theory for the following reason:

Ofcourse they are hiring professionals to improve engagement. Ofcourse they know who their target audience is. Ofcourse they can predict what people do, and how they will react.

Now I respect you opinions enough to actually present a decent and respectful reason why I feel differently and disagree with you.
lets get it very clear. I very much respect that you have your own opinion on this topic. It happens to be one that I disagree with. But you’re allowed to continue to own your opinion as you like.
You have attacked me for my opinion and what you seem to think was my unwillingness to discuss it. But since I have presented a discussion point to you, you have just stated that I’m not respecting your opinion, and you’re using out of context quotes to “prove” that.
If you want to be taken seriously maybe you should actually read it, and then you’ll understand why I don’t agree with you and why it sounds a little tinfoil hat.
I don’t expect you to change your opinion because I feel differently.
But since you seem so unwilling to entertain a difference of opinion. Maybe you’re just self reporting when you say:

Now people can see who they are dealing with
Someone that will play the victim and someone who want’s a proper discussion, when in reality all you do is stick your fingers in your ear, name call and wave off any article and science paper thrown at you
This has become the most hypocritical statement I have ever read. You have become what you are preaching. lol.

Now I respect you opinions enough to actually present a decent and respectful reason why I feel differently and disagree with you

you’re wearing your tin-foil hat

That’s the most tinfoil hat idea I have ever heard

actually present a decent and respectful reason

That’s the most tinfoil hat idea I have ever heard
Again, you don’t have to reply. I just wanted people to see:

But don’t we have different talent trees and spells, and class tuning now?
Which is why they keep tuning MT, as they have stated, to keep the challenge on par. Which again, as soon as you could outgear it in Legion, that’s Legion being easier, and the now being harder.

So for them to put them back would mean that it’s false advertising and not fair to those who did buy legion to get them.
Should the people buying store mounts get refunded too when they get to the Trading Post? Remember, the star horse was advertised as going away in perpetuity, and it was the first mount on there.

Again, you don’t have to reply. I just wanted people to see:
I’m only replying to make sure that people don’t only get 1/2 of the story:

And again, you have quoted me out of context.

So back at you. you don’t need to reply either, because it’s all there.

What about store mounts? Going out of store soon,after few years they put on trading post, some on crossover promotions.
Don’t forget the Obsidian Worldbreaker! That was supposed to be ONLY for that specific anniversary and you even had to do the 3 Raid bosses…
This year you could just buy it

Aight, but don’t play the victim and make it look like we are making you respond like you did earlier… I gave you an out, you decided to stay in
Whats funny is that up until recently you could have bought glad/cm acc and merge it with ur own.
But im sure they gonna figure out a new way for it.
People that got them legit dont care,its those loudest that bought it and i know so many of them its crazy.

Whats funny is that up until recently you could have bought glad/cm acc
I hope you’re not suggesting that people break TOS to get these items.
Im not suggesting,thats what people were doing until recently.
Dont twist my words.

People that got them legit dont care
That’s usually because those players don’t play for the reward… They play because it’s fun… It’s only the people that feel cool points from cosmetics that scream for them to stay unavailable
Well the way you said it, suggested that it was a normal and ok thing to be doing.
When in reality it was very much against blizzards rules and would get peoples accounts banned.

and ok thing to be doing
Where in the lords mercy do you get that from:

Casually posting about it on the forums. there’s where I got it from.
You got to be special to have even known that was thing you could do, let alone want to do it.
Sorry, but that sort of thing isn’t common knowledge around the average player.

legit
That word should pretty much tell you, that it was NOT an okay thing to do…
Okay I’m out now, this is too wild when you’ve now resulted in accusing randomly
I play pvp and pve, especially pvp when youre into that community you know whos booster whos buyer and who’s legit.
Dont twist words.
