>kill a night elf in PVP
>get banned for abusive behaviour
oy vey!
Emotional Politics is already on its way out
I assumed this garbage was already in their ToS since Pandas
>negative comments that target another player's identity, including aspects like [...] ability
so according to blizzard, kicking someone out of your group and telling him it's because he is bad is hate speech now?
>sending a friendly hello message can help set your group up for success
is sending a friendly hello message mandatory now?
>do your best to support your team through your communication etc
all in all sounds too much work for a game, good thing I never touch MMOs
they're just trying to copy FFXIV's strict moderation
>say word

Games as service are the ultimate evil.
This is why you don't see people talking nearly as much in modern MMO's. New world's PVP meta was actually "Report the guy in charge of the enemy guild" to get them temp banned and win the battle easily.
You think any WoW player is going to read that? Lmao have you seen the WoW community? HAHAHAHAA Bethesda can try all they want to want the XIV groomer community but it will never have it. Adding furry dragons won't help either.
>soon
I guarantee you there is nothing in this that isn't already covered by the EULA's "we reserve the right to suspend your account for literally any reason we feel like" statement.
Seems like standard ToS
Gaming is dead
>Loses players
>Loses devs
>Loses shareholders
>I know! We must put an iron curtain in our games!
All the while still promoting toxic behavior. This is pretty much more addic druggie money grabbing tactics. They ban nigger mcniggy for calling thrall a faggot and they know that he'll just buy another account and game to dip back in his lifetime drug.
If you still play WoW, you deserve every bit of this, and I hope it gets worse.
>adding more shit to their EULA which nobody reads
Hell, it probably says you have to give Bobby Kotick a blowjob if you ever met him in the street if you actually read through the WORDS WORD WORDS (NONE OF IT ACTUALLY CONSIDERING LEGALLY BINDING IN COURT)
If I am not mistaken arent a lot of drama in WOW due to Guild Leaders and their permissiveness because of their own wife or GF.
you already agreed to a social contract
Oh, man. This is really, I mean, it's making me want to resub so I can play like a fucktard and send harassment reports telling the GMs I'm physically disabled and that I felt attacked for "just doing my best".
Or go to a place I'm too low for and ask for help then report people not helping me.
These rules are incredibly juicy. There's at least four or five ways I could easily bend them to fuck people over for doing innocuous shit.
>Yea Forums continues seething about not being able to flame normies in children's video games
so i have to help others now or I'm banned?
get fucked, i play mmos PvE solo as much as possible
theoretically it's a good thing, the problem is a bunch of CA trannies will selectively enforce it
>faggot user continues to be butthurt carebear that wants to protect the poor widdiw innocent normalfags
>try to help people if you can!
>don't call them faggots!
Of course this triggers you faggots
>citizenship completely devalued
That one fell apart already
While this sounds incredibly stupid, who actually plays wow now?
I'm not advocating for or defending it, but who does this impact directly?
Should hopefully be contained to just blizzard though, they're already a sinking ship.
>authoritarian idea is good in theory but actual application by real human beings will fuck it up
It's almost like that's the entire fucking argument people against this crap have already been making.
stealing more shit from FFXIV i see
>shithead nolifers scare off all the new players
>game dies
The enlightenment and it's consequences have been a disaster for the human race.
>try to help people if you can!
>do call them faggots!
this is literally all we're asking for, user
Not really. Fuck russeau. I never agreed to his social contract, the rosseaufags in law will tell you that because something is legal that doesn't mean it's moral or ethical to do, I tell them, fuck off. Within the law, anything. What are you gonna do, call the social contract cops on me?
It's already doing a great job killing itself. May as well kill it further.
>dipshit normalfags flood game
>devs cater to normalfags
>game dies once normalfags find new flavor of the month MMO
Literally every time. WoW is just so mammoth that it's taking a lot longer, but every other MMO dies to carebears and normalfags or rejects them and survives like EVE Online and Anarchy Online.
Maybe you shouldn't have gotten rid of community servers and forced everyone to play together in the first place faggot.
I just wanted Blizzard to go under. They easily could have with BFA and Shadowlands, BUT NONE OF YOU LET THEM DIE! AND NOW THEY NEVER WILL BECAUSE MICROSOFT OWNS THEM! THE WOKE SHIT WILL NEVER END!
Based
>kill other people's mobs for them
mmos sure have changed. i thought it was standard mmo etiquette to let people kill their own mobs to, you know, learn how to play the game and kill stuff.
Depends on the guild and on the woman. I've been in guilds with female players that did fine and didn't cause any bullshit drama. I've been in others where I'm the Class leader and they want to keep raiding with shitspecs and don't want to shell out the 50G to respec. At that point you let the GM know and they typically cave in because they're spineless fucks.
The real drama is from when some loser starts simping at full speed 24/7 and deflects any criticism on their behalf.
casuals have been the core of wow since day 1
Wow was literally designed to be everquest but for casuals.
i would much rather a game die with its integrity than live on to become what wow has.
inviting in people that don't actually care about the world the game is set in only leads to a worse game. gatekeeping is a good thing.
>normies in children's video games
>children mostly play F2P games as the majority of them can't afford sub
WoW being labeled as "The MMO" is a normie thing, but being a children's game in both gameplay and community is pretty doubtful.
>STILL posting Twitter screens rather than the actual source and giving Twitter free adverting consistently
Why do you keep doing this?
Thank you
JEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN JAAAAAAAAAAAAQUES YOU MOTHERFUCKER
The problem is that the original developers aren't there in the company. It's like if you build a nice little side project with your friends, it doesn't matter what it is, just something related to one of your hobbies. And then you all move on to other things, and a completely different group of people see the project and take it over. Now, if those people are all pink haired fat non binary feminists, you can more or less expect the outcome
they mean ability as in "disability" or "differently abled" because the former is suddenly considered not politically correct
>negative comments that target another player's ability
This couldn't possibly be abused
Sounds to me like you can't even call people idiots without being banned
People can't even handle gradeschool insults now
This is true and I have noticed this has been happening in Rockstar. They all decided to leave and start their own small gaming companies again.
You actually have to hire and pay real GMs to do that though.
it feels good having absolutely no desire whatsoever to play a blizzard product ever again
Yes, the casuals of 2004. Which were much more hardcore than the ones still in it and continuing to flood it. Unless you really think anything in Cata and beyond was as challenging as MC, BWL, or AQ. Hell, even original Karazhan was more challenging than everything after it.
God this generation wouldn't be able to last five seconds in a Call of Duty lobby.
Agree. I come to these threads to laugh at the poor bastards still hooked on this crap. Haven't given blizzshit a cent in years and it feels so good
there should be something like a mentor system/the xiv noob leaf, penalties if you get caught abusing a noob leaf, rewards if you stick it out through a dungeon with a noob leaf
the wow community does not need any more tantrum throwing 35 year old losers
I mean, ganking low level characters was always trollish behavior.
Seems like Blizzard is 'fixing' a problem they, themselves created...
God this is perfect.Vanilla promoted fun, MMO community driven content through mechanics. Retail has to beg people to work together because their mechanics undermine cooperation. Hilarious.
Blizzard was great before WOW in my opinion. WOW ended up being the worst thing ever because of the fact they went away from their roots like Warcraft, StarCraft and even Diablo. They could have kept making those multiplayer style games but because they decided WOW was going to be forever they eventually died due to that internally.
society is a scam
>An “expert” got paid good money to write this “social contract”
I never gave them money outside of Diablo 3. But honestly I am glad to see more people waking up to the reality and moving away from WOW overall. I feel bad for those that grind and do not understand that it's not going to exist in the next 5-10 years.
strict moderation doesn’t actually lead to better communities when the game is practically designed to get you pissed at your fellow players.
PVP servers dont even exist anymore, its impossible to be ganked now
Man those accusations really did a number on this company huh? Looks like it blown them so far back that they'll spend the rest of their days making sure everyone knows they're a safespace approved company. From hiring a new diversity fuhrer to removing all offensive emotes and dialogue from wow it seems like there's really nothing left of value.
I agree. That is half the fun of these games in the first place. If you take that away it's just dead.
B-But Microsoft will turn it around! Phil Spencer is God!
