And here I needed another reason to throw my old WoW installation in the trash can and then light it on fire while doing some strange ritual, while wearing an anti-Blizzard outfit. But this one really puts the icing on the unstable cake.
A week or two ago, during an interview, Blizzard mentioned that there will be no. more. flying in future patches, expansions… or ever in the future of WoW. I’m surprised they haven’t just banned flying period (including in Azeroth).
Amazing, how we’ve gone from the first dragon flying mount to having them have their wings literally clipped off to where they look like oversized lizards, just for Blizzard to say “you’ll get more enjoyment on the ground”.
They really dropped the bomb on this.. now ended debate over flying, to the point they’re saying “if you don’t like it, leave”.
No flying never was my reason for leaving, nor was it my reason for not wanting WoD. My reason is much deeper than that. But this proves they just don’t fucking care about their community anymore. They’re in it for the money. Nothing more.
And I doubt Ghostcrawler when he did leave last year, had anything to do with Blizzard becoming like EA. It’s Activision that changed them. They used to care (mostly), to the point of now where they just don’t. And they wonder why they’re losing so many subscribers.
It’s really sickening. WoW used to be a great game. Now.. it’s turned into this. Well… whatever. Just more of a reason to never, ever come back. It’s best anyway. I was never really good in WoW. Always soloing in a game built for multiple players.
What’s there to look forward to now? The first expansion of Guild Wars 2, that’s what. Because the developers are actually doing what Blizzard has never done. They’re tweeting about it. They’re going over every nook and cranny, making sure players understand what’s to come. They’re being very transparent with it.
