They will just claim that and then do nothing. At most they might get sent home for a day.

Maybe, maybe not. This is a great opportunity to remove whatever white/asian leftists are there, and replace them with more indians.

Their chief weapon is poor impulse control… poor impulse control and pedophilia.

Blizzard kept the head writer on staff that literally self inserted himself into a long dead lore character so he could write that guy as the Commander and Largest Simp Possible for his girlboss waifu, who he wrote into being the most important character in the universe for multiple expansions.

That's the kind of unrestrained they consider acceptable, so their staff is probably very unused to having to actually not do whatever they want on impulse.

I had posts removed on the wow subreddit during bfa for bringing up Danuser's larping and simping as Nathanos.

By that I mean linked to his official Twitter account where said larping and simping was happening. You know, the official account of the lead narrative director of the game at the time.

It was entirely a case of "everyone knows its happening, but only bad thinkers bring it up so anyone talking about it is treated as evil."

Like, he literally tweeted that the new Nathanos body was "looking into a dark mirror" which was the literal title of the short story that brought him back. There was zero lacking of context or misunderstanding of what he was doing.

I haven't followed WOW in forever. Care to elaborate? This sounds hilarious.

Just rambling with what I remember off the top of my head.

Steve Danuser was the head narrative writer from I think BFA until DF, after being just another cog during Legion.

His first act of business was to take Nathanos Blightcaller (a major world boss in Vanilla who was killed off, faked his death but was otherwise a forgotten hunter trainer NPC afterwards), give him a brand new body in a shortstory (that looks suspiciously similar to Danuser himself except not bald or fat) in which Sylvanas specifically picks him to use her personal Valkyr (the things that give her so much power and make her unkillable) to give him superpowers and lead her army.

This leads into BFA, where he is basically the mission control in charge of every single quest and thing the Horde does. And spends the entire time acting as evil and edgy as possible, making sure there is zero question that the Horde is not the victim (though they still claim it) but the aggressor. Its one of the worst expansions ever, and the writing is the biggest part of it, that's just scratching the surface. They had to kill off Azshara and the last Old God they had in the final raid just to keep it afloat.

Between this and burning off KulTiras and the last Troll empire, they used up the literal last of the legacy lore characters and storylines and had to make original stuff to keep going.

All in service of Sylvanas, who is now narratively the most important character in the universe because she has been working for The Jailer this entire time, the guy who is the real bad guy of the story because he was behind every single plan ever, from Sargeras to the Lich King. And she was his stooge helping him towards his goal of erasing existence so he could rewrite it his way, except she was actually a slave so you need to just forgive her because she was the victim too!! And so she gets away with everything.

And like the other comment said, you could not bring up how the entire time Danuser, the head writer, was posting thirst and simp comments about Sylvanas during these years on his public twitter. It was all just coincidence.

He was forced out last November. We know it was forced because literally no one announced or noticed until February, when a random journalist reached out to him. And he was under clear NDA because he just said "nothing noteworthy to comment." So he was so awful even Blizzard themselves scrubbed him out, and they had to drag Metzen out of retirement to try and salvage things.

Stop paying for Blizzard products.

The company is a skinsuit inhabited by rent-seekers

The old guard of Silicon & Synapse has dwindled over the ages.

Private servers do better job at suppressing Bots, RMT, GDKP and Boosting.

Play Turtle WoW and project Ascension.

I guess I live in some alternative dimension because Turtle economy is clean. Any and all RMT spam on /world is instantly mooed, If you ever run into a bot then they get handled by GMs who are actually online and respond within 5 mins. There's no such thing as bot mages and rogues walking in and out of instances and when you do a /who check for them you dont see a depressing wall of bot names. Anyone who wants to earn some gold do so organically through DM lashers, ZG crocs or Kara10 trash. The prices reflect that with Black Lotus being 15g and herbs like Gromsblood and Dreamfoil being around 1g. When you travel the open world the minning nodes actually exist and they dont dissapear on you because there's no underground bots like on retail. I often see 3 mining nodes next to each other which is something I dont remember seeing on anything retail. And then there's this one instance where some chinese dude managed to convince one GM into getting him a lvl 60 decked out in epics so he could start raid logging. Problem is said toons had no logs so people instantly blew whistle on his ass.

I may sound like a fanboy but whatever ugly past Sheena has simply isn't the case with how things are on Turtle WoW now.
