As consumers we have the right to boycott any company we want. If you think our rage is unjustified that just makes you ignorant. Blizzard chose to come after a non profit server with a great community. In contrast there are dozens of servers out there with pay to win features that make a profit from this and slander the spirit of the game completely.
Additionally, by choosing to assault such a community Blizzard has basicaly spat on the very group that not only supported them from the start, but are responsible for helping them becoming the giant corporation they are today. So yes, we will boycott and protest all we want. They have the right to do what they did, but the manner they did so and the initial target have no justification at all. Blizzard was simply embarrassed that such a community was so strong and booming compared to theirs.
you guys put the blame on streamers for the downfall for this server which isnt really the case. you mentioned this server is non-profit but dont you find it a bit odd that not even 2 weeks after they posted the change to their financial situations that they get the letter from blizz. for you to believe that all the money donated went into the server funds you must also be ignorant unless of course nost posts public records of all the donations and what their budget was for it. you also take in to account the gold sellers making a ton of money off this server.
it just comes down to everyone making money on world of warcraft except blizzard which is fucked up because its their game. you can't say its not the same game to avoid copyright just because its a different version. thats like saying the version of minesweeper that came with windows 95 is a different game from that released with windows 10. i'm not saying you dont have a right to be butthurt that your 60 is gone, but as they say thats the way she goes. move on to the next private server and start again. you want to play private this is what you deal with. consider it like a ladder that resets when it get too big LOL
You are the paranoid type that never has faith in anything huh? Sad to see. However when a community like this is created by a group of 30 people and supported by donations first then a system where you pay the bills directly, well I will believe them over a corporation that has placed micro transactions, instant levels, and the others methods to squeeze every penny out. You seem to have lost faith in others long ago. I read the AMA, and the fact they are willing to release their code for free, which is worth a lot of cash, only strengthens my belief. Sad to see someone like you was part of the community as you don't even support it now.
If you are going to argue about money, bring proof not speculation. The only ones who can show your proof is Blizzard and Nostalrius. Blizzard, the one responsible for this situation and who is getting bad press, could quell all of this if they showed Nost made money. They have not. Nost has denied this claim on the AMA for their part. As for gold sellers, that is any mmo in the world, active or private. Invalid argument all together. If you want to argue use not only opinion but facts to back you up, or your argument has no validation and cannot be take more than speculation.
You also missed the main point entirely. We are not boycotting to bring Nost back. We are boycotting for change, to allow legacy servers on wow or private. .
