The irony is rich. A day after I leave WoW, it’s like Blizzard knew and sent me an email, asking for my opinion on their products.
Asking for my feedback… this is just too good. It’s like them kissing my feet and begging me not to leave WoW.
So I did their silly survey. They asked what games I played, did I attend BlizzCon using the Virtual Ticket, if I would attend BlizzCon 2015 (um, no), and the more I did it, it wasn’t to kiss my ass, but to promote a BlizzCon Pre-party thingy they’re doing at Disneyland in California.
……Why would I fucking care about California? Are they going to pay for the tickets(plane + Disneyland admission)? The hotel? The transportation? No to all three. Yet they keep asking “what would make you want to go?” and offering no “Fucking pay my way there!” option. Seriously. Fuck off, Blizzard. Go suck some more from your ‘troll community’ bottle.
Then it finally goes to “What if we allow you to purchase a goodie bag if you get the Virtual Ticket”, and I’m all “Hmmm…”. Next one.. “Would you pay $35 + shipping for it?” And I’m all “WHAT?! NO!!” They already ripped me off by buying the expansion!
And that, is it. Survey done. That was a waste of my time. It was clearly a promotion gimmick, cleverly inserted into a bullshit “We CARE for our community!! Please tell us what you think about us!” survey.
What did I expect this survey to be? “We noticed you left the game. We’re sorry you did(even though we really don’t mean it, you’re easily replaced). What can we do to get you to come back and make us even more rich?”
My answer? If you didn’t know, you haven’t been reading all of my WoW blog posts. If you have, then you already know.
