Sadly we are not in 2004 anymore, half if not all of the in game GM are so long gone and the only way to contact blizzard is by opening a ticket, and even with a ticket you have a 50 50 chance to receive a copy pasta that doesn’t even answer your question but what can you do ?
This tbh. People making stupid tickets about how somebody else won the loot, rolled higher, how item X never drops, to complain about some change/update or simply just because they didnt bother finding out how some things work (UI, spells, procs etc).
I can imagine putting GMs on these things was like burning company money for the 1% that acually needed proper help and had to wait 4 days in line to get it.
yeah… but its a payed service. We pay for this. Quite a lot actually. Can you see your TV company totally cut every support just because people ask dumb questions?
they got rid of their support team on forums ages ago. blues post on na forums more than eu forums. not sure why that is; perhaps there’s more folks over there that make valid posts. they also have community council over there (eu players too) who use na forums more than here. try posting on that forum and see if a blue posts?
The ticket system should have a button, that says “Time Waster” and it sends a curt but effective reply automatically saying they cannot help with your problem.
How much do you think is left of your 10 euro each month after the cost of everything (servers, development, employee)? Does Netflix have people explaining the plots of movies for people, its a payed service also - right?
And yes, I can acually see the majority of companys cutting their man-to-man support for automated systems, homepages and videos. Have you lived under a rock the last 15 years?
Not enough to give every player an assistent that helps them to wipe their a*ses Im afraid. Get real.
There is a place for human support in this game, but not like it was before. It doesnt take a genius to realize that the old system was inffective and a waste of both time and money, and not just for Blizzard.
dumb comment to be honest. To play it does not mean you agree with current state of game. It means you like it enough to play it but there are many things you disagree with.
When I started i 2005 I did not agree with everything. NO ONE DOES… and by Cataclysm I disagreed with so many things that I stopped…
