Nostalrius Begins - Quality wow vanilla realm (1.12)

A reply on the Bliz FB contains a quote from Mike Morhaime;

"Especially after a game gets released. I feel like it’s no longer just Blizzard’s game. We become a sort of curator for this experience that has millions of stakeholders who all care deeply about how the experience evolves. By including our community in the process of determining how these games evolve and how we solve game-related issues, we get to better solutions. We create a sense of partnership with our community along the way."

Okay - I've googled.

This is dated to the beginning of Feb 2016. It is from Mike - from an interview with venturebeat.com

I think we need to push this on the social media platforms.

This surely is on a par with #youthinkyoudobutyoudont

It's an ancient quote. Irrelevant and unrelated to current issues.

What makes you say it's ancient? you have an older source for it than Feb this year?

Also, are you saying it's irrelevant/unrelated because it's old? the content itself seems to me absolutely related, because it's sheer hypocrisy to say that and then be absolutely silent when a PR train-wreck occurs because the community is unhappy.

"By including our community in the process of determining how these games evolve and how we solve game-related issues, we get to better solutions" - then ignores a 100k+ petition and a PR train-wreck.

I have a feeling Mike is a very cool dude and is not our enemy here.

And yet - complete silence from Bliz.

Mike is senior. I would expect him to have the independent power to speak out, and he should have said something by now.

Moreover, he needs to be resposnible for what he says.

You cannot go about saying something like that and then acting in completely the opposite way; at very least it means it he did not in fact have the authority to say it - it might be that he wished it to be true, but in fact it is not, and so his claim was spurious and misleading.

That old saying - either a fool or a knave.

I think this is something u get on piece of paper to read in front of cameras.

It was spoken in an externded one-to-one interview.

Moreover, even if that was true, it doesn't make it okay. You can't come out with stuff which is blatantly untrue, so that you gain the benefits of people believing it ("he's such a great guy!") when in fact those people are being deceived.

If they said it, they're beholden to it - anything else and it must be that EVERYTHING they say has to be completely ignored, because God knows if it's true or not. You can't just say stuff and then when you're called on it go "oh but we didn't mean it, sorry! mistake..."

I totaly agree with u, but its obvious that guy is lying

we get to better solutions. We create a sense of partnership with our community along the way."

That is a really interesting article look at this part....

GamesBeat: If there was one thing that Blizzard as a company could change or affect in the video game industry over the next 10 or 20 years, what would you want it to be?

Morhaime: Right now, people still aren’t very nice to each other online, as a general rule. If we can help to make the interactions between folks online safer and more friendly, that would make it all more fun and more gratifying for everyone.

Their current changes caused this to become worse and worse each expansion.
You build a nicer community in a closed server with no transfers, when people are forced to group up and need each other to accomplish things because it's hard. Where personal reputation means something.

Except for the fact that he's the CEO of Blizzard that shut down Nostalrius unjustly and refuses to respond or work with ANYONE for a replacement. As far as we know.
