@Typerighting The community needs to accept some accountability. Classic has *no* difficulty so we min-max/optimize the fun out of everything. Then go spouting about "how much better it is." - Quote me in a year when "horizontal progression" is now endlessly mocked across social media.
So the new “buying gold” trend has just made everyone walk away from the wrongful ban issues, because of a single yet-to-be-proven “reversal”? I can’t possibly imagine why it’s so easy to pit the masses against each other
@DirtbagLeft1234@Asmongold I also am extremely suspect anyone really reviewed the ban list. When not a single person (Support, internal connections, or escalation) can tell me a way to identify WHAT name got someone I know banned (And I KNOW the names she had), it means they used AI poorly with no human
@DirtbagLeft1234@Asmongold So I think the degen model some are following is unhinged, and unstable. But *fuck* Tom. He deserves the *Blizzard* hammer that is coming. The personal threats and stuff, nah, the people making those should be arrested. But fuck Tom, for sure.
@ImHereForTrump@Pirat_Nation While this hasn’t been confirmed as even real, I *promise* you the micro-sub-atomic pennies worth of refunds had nothing to do with them realizing “Wow this is hella fucking our PR, and papa Microsoft gonna get maaaaad.”
Seeing the newest drama with Tom is hilarious. There is zero sympathy here. We learned from many REAL celebrities, not faux ones, that you can't talk shit without consequences. Still waiting to see if Blizzard comes out with anything since people won't let it die. (And shouldn't)
@nohitjerome My 'characterizations' were asking if they're going to A) Admit they banned too many B) Do nothing since everyone will play C) nominate a scapegoat. Petty, sure, but not "attacks" or ban worthy.
@nohitjerome I'm following along to see how Blizzard reacts. My spouse was banned (No offensive names, nothing even close) and Support/Email said they "Don't have the data to say what did cause it. I was banned from forums for making a constructive post asking how we can get evidence.
@FwoiblesWoW There is a laughable sense of irony of you posting stuff like this (The intent is obvious) while "being a better human". Not to mention to inevitable hand-slap despite "Being my personal opinion".
Let me be crystal clear: If you had a toxic name, even "to stress test naming" - You deserve the ban. You ALSO, however, deserve an explicit email of WHAT name got the ban. It isn't about DEI, left vs right, or any other non-sense. Just proof.
I left the debate yesterday seeing the sides flare up pretty dramatically. I'm still team FAFO, and team "Show us the receipts, Blizzard." (Which got me forum banned of course) but you guys turning this into some left-vs-right thing need to just get help. And some sun.
@Waydots What's interesting about this situation is everyone is blindly taking Blizzard for their word, despite releasing absolutely no evidence. I do believe some people played FAFO and FO'd. Do I believe they vetted it thoroughly and didn't impact innocent people? HARD No.
@traphouse_annie This is where I struggle - they knew EXACTLY what they were doing. They should have gotten a rename. The issue is all the many many people who were caught due to whatever shit “poor prompt” AI supported this was backed. Regardless of what they say they did.
While I did make a post asking for explanation on the people I know who were impacted - And something I believe SHOULD be required as people did pay to receive the service - I am ALSO on team FAFO. You guys with the degen/disgusting names absolutely deserve it. Show receipts tho
@petdogplease@Grummz I opened a ticket on behalf of my wife (Who is PG-13 AF) and they said "We can guarantee neither of the names you claim were what caused it." and when I asked what was "We can't look into that, as support." - Then how TF can you GUARANTEE it wasn't either of those 2?
@Grummz I'm full on team FAFO - but you damn well need to show up with receipts on what caused it. *I* wasn't impacted but people who I know were and they can not tell us "what" name caused it. Support shows up to stoically defend "the process" but then outright admits "We don't know"
