Blizzard is not a single, omnipresent entity, part 1

[XFiFiX]

Thank you for making this. Tired of the dumbasses calling "Blizz" out about everything. Please, cut the shit. There's no better MMO out right now, so take it or leave it. Thanks ;D

Finally someone who gets it

[SadPanda]

You got it right...
and yes, blizz has made a game that is the frontrow seat of the market at the moment, and respect for that.

Congrats on frontpage. I promoted your blog here because I really enjoyed reading it, and I thought it would be educational for others, too.

[nosfiarmus]

Good stuff , I really enjoyed reading it.

[Lionhearte]

Thank you for posting this, this is exactly what people don't understand, and I couldn't have said it better.

Thank you very much aphel, it kinda surprised me. I'm honored.

To everyone else, thanks for the positive feedback.

Agree 100%. I get sick of hearing the whining. I also agree 100% that the majority of the WoW player base is the most bitter/rude/immature bunch I've encountered.

Can't wait for part 2.

To be fair i blame ghostcrawler for pvp being unbalanced, not the company. PvP has been extremely 'crappy' since WotLK came out and not because of Blizzard but because of the decision made by a man under the name Ghostcrawler. Most people that complain ' BLIZZ SUX L2MAKE GOOD GAMES! ' are simply people that have no idea what is good and what is bad. Blizzard has, quite frankly, been doing a great job balancing the game recently but it doesn't matter because people always find something else to complain about. No matter how balanced the game will become, there will always been rotten apples in the basket.


P.S. For those who did not see it by reading this, I do agree with this thread.

part 2 can you please rant about botters who say they hate blizzard. Pisses me off so much, if it wasn't for Blizzard they'd have no game to bot! /rage

Nice article none the less

Well, people who say 'Fu BLizZ' etc... Could be refering to everyone in the company under the Blizzard name and probably don't think of Blizzard as a signle entity.

I understand where you are coming from though, this is just another outlook.

[rudydimacali]

VERY well written. A nice read, thank you sir.

It shouldn't be hard to interpret what I said. I didn't mean people literally believe Blizzard is a single guy working in the basement. People who refer to everyone in the company without making this kind of distinction are seeing the company as a single entity nevertheless, and that's the notion I made fun of. That's my point, exactly, there's no other outlook.

It's understandable that people don't want to make this kind of distinction. Neural shortcuts demand that people need to make quick association in order to avoid an overload of information that needs to be processed. This is ok, and a natural part of the process. The big difference is that the complaints I'm talking about are so comical they are almost a satire of themselves.

For someone who's THIRD language is English, you've very good grammar and vocabulary.
Also, this was a great post. Thanks for clearing some things up for the lesser minds.

Aye, it is funny reading some of the complaints on forums made by some people.
