Closed out the final wins and got my first ever Gladiator on the Resto Shaman! Thanks to the goats @OCDGaming90 and @Santiywow for the queues!

I think it’s time to remove mind control from PvP. It bugs way too often. Twice today it caused my healer to no longer be able to cast spells on friendly targets. It also frequently causes players post MC to stutter step around the map. Shelf this ability til it’s fixed.

[mr mag @sx6_magnusz]

outlaw rogue in pvp has the most damage in the game, best defensives, most mobility, most control, and the best slow (66% passively applied crippling poison)

maybe we take a look at this complete abomination? every game with this spec in it feels like torture @WarcraftDevs

[Erradic Gaming @Erradicgaming]

Que con los talentos nuevos hayan endiñado el tener que elegir entre Avatar y Bladestorm es una ofensa casi tan gorda como cuando nos quitaron la Gladiator Stance.

I am a senior vice president at a $68.7 billion gaming company.

Activision-Blizzard.

We have a 30-year-old franchise.

Warcraft.

Millions of players. A subscription model that prints $15 a month per user. A cash shop on top of the subscription. Paid expansions on top of the cash shop.

Our former creative director just told the press he wishes we hadn't called it "Warcraft."

He said the name sounds intimidating.

He helped create the name.

We ran focus groups. The focus groups said the brand needed to be "more approachable." We asked the focus groups if they played the game. They did not. We took their advice anyway.

Our VP told an interviewer we want players to experience "weddings, raids, and new adventures." She listed weddings first. Before raids. In a game called Warcraft. Nobody in the room flinched.

She also said "No one thinks the same about Warhammer."

She compared our franchise unfavorably to a competitor. On the record. As a defense of the franchise.

The forums are on fire. Twenty-year veterans are writing goodbye posts. One thread is titled "Think I'm done with WoW." Another calls our pre-patch a "player purge."

We called our GDKP raiders "delusional."

We timed a cash shop bundle to launch during the Trading Post anniversary -- the one event where players earn free cosmetics. We offered 200 discounted items but kept the monthly currency cap at 1,000. The math doesn't work unless you open your wallet.

The community noticed. We described their concerns as "feedback we're monitoring."

We are always monitoring. We have never once changed course because of monitoring.

The players say we're "Disneyfying" the game. Turning gritty into cute. War into weddings. Orcs into mascots.

They're not wrong.

The data says approachable properties have wider TAM. Total addressable market. That's the metric now. Not "subscribers who love the game." Not "community that built this franchise." TAM.

TAM doesn't post on forums. TAM doesn't write goodbye letters. TAM doesn't have 20 years of muscle memory and lore knowledge and raid nights that turned into real friendships.

TAM is a number in a slide deck that makes a board feel comfortable.

We added player housing. Players have asked for it since 2004. We launched it in 2026. Twenty-two years. We described this as "listening to our community."

We are very good at listening. Eventually. When the feature aligns with a monetization roadmap.

Here is what I know and cannot say in a meeting:

The name was never the problem. The name built this. The name survived server crashes and subscription drops and an activision merger and a harassment scandal and a $68.7 billion acquisition.

The name is "Warcraft" and for 30 years nobody was confused about what it meant.

The problem is not that new players find the name intimidating.

The problem is that old players are starting to find us unrecognizable.

And we don't have a focus group for that.
