Blizzard is on a frenzied media response

Within 24 hours Blizzard has made the following announcements:

- Legion launch date
- Overwatch Open Beta date
- BlizzCon Ticket Sales tomorrow
- New Warcraft film trailer
- Hearthstone Expansion date (thanks Rawina)

I think this is Blizzard's quiet way of telling us to go away. :(

I'm still very hopeful that when the petition hits 200k and Mark delivers it to Mike that we'll get legacy servers.

Tbh I don't want Blizzard to make legacy servers. They will do shit like with retail now. I'd prefer private servers but legal private servers.

Well they're getting smashed on all sides. Got streamers, youtubers, petitions, an ex dev and all pc gaming media talking down to them. Got to respond somehow.

Blizzard isn't going to ruin them if they make them. If anything they're going to start at 1.0 as a test to see if we really want vanilla (Vanilla, vanilla WoW) ex. 5 minute pally buffs etc.

You do realise we want this exactly because they ruined their current game?

I'm pretty confident they understand what a legacy server is and what we're asking for. Stop acting like blizzard is trying to fuck everyone left and right.

With what they showed in recent years, forgive me if i don't have 100% faith in what they do. It's not 2005 anymore.

They're desperately trying to push off all the negative comments about Nost, which they want to just go away, and it really shows up. If this keeps up, they'll start making announcements about B shaped toast. They know sooner or later people will give up and go away, so they want to just bury your comments under new updates. This is easier than just mass blocking everyone, and it doesn't get called censoring.
