Blizz censors feedback

    Actually scalebane the only thing on this forum that resembles a tantrum is you calling us all "freaking morons"

    I did in fact have several posts deleted and I didn't contravene any of the forum rules or posting guidelines, that is why I started this thread here. Since then the official forums have been flooded with comments both for and against the event but none of the threads praising the event have been deleted, locked or moved whereas several threads condemning the event have been.

    Your opinion has been noted and since it seems to be a personal attack rather than a reasoned argument it has been discarded!

    Next please.

     I personally thought that the zombie plague was fun the first couple of times I got turned into a zombie but now griefers are using the event to ensure that all the noobs are destroyed as much as possible which is causing some people to quit the game. Also griefers are using the event to kill all the quest giving NPC's and to prevent people from participating in anything but the zombie event. I for one will be glad when this stupid event is over and I hope it is not repeated ever again.
    Whether you like the event or not, whether you are one of the griefers or not, my  main point is that Blizzard is preventing poeple from expressing their displeasure on the forums which are meant for that very purpose. BAD FORM BLIZZARD!!!



     

    Useless post, this. First of all, you can't prove to us that Blizzard has wrongfully deleted, moved or closed your posts about the subject. If anything, I'd more likely believe they did a good job on deleting, moving or closing your posts (You can, after all, proclaim your distaste here in all maturity, yet scream "Blizzrd nerf teh ghouls plzplzplz!" on their forums, we don't know). So again I say "Useless post, this".

    Lastly, you're moaning and complaining about an event. An event connected to WotLK. Not something that's coming to you every 2nd Sunday of the month. Why even bother?

    You're right that I can't prove that my posts were deleted from the WoW forums and you're equally right that you don't know that my posts on the forums were not juvenile and puerile in the extreme. I can only reiterate that they were not and you have to believe me or not.

    Please tell me where is the moaning and complaining about the event?

    I am complaining about having my posts deleted from the WoW forums because they were critiscism of the zombie plague event,

    and if it was such a useless post why did you take the time to respond?

    Your moaning and complaining is on their forums? Getting deleted? You know? The whole point of THIS topic?

    Again, critiscism comes in a lot of different forms. Was it constructive, or rather a troll-magnet? Non-intended troll-magnet topics get deleted as well.

    Lastly, I take my time to respond simply because I can and want to. I'm never too busy to tell a guy he's an idiot. Not that I'm saying you are, but just giving an example :).

    EXACTLY!!!   i believe that a lot of posters like this person are Blizzard employees who are totally worried about being fired.  Though it can not be a directive of a company to send representatives of the company to post official responces on independant sites, that will not stop them from making personal accounts and making every effort to shut us up. 

     

    I've been all over the net on this issue and every post i've seen has compelling defense of Blizzard.  IMO the only people who like this event are the ones perpetuating disruption on the servers.  Are they coming to these forums to convince us to come back so they can infect us and take more of our hours away from us?  or are they attempting to shut us up so others who are upset wont join the MASSIVE Boycott of this event and Blizzard itself?

    To be brutally honest, what percentage of the user population even uses the forums?  Most gamers are happy with communicating in the game and they don't use forums.

    I really hope they keep organising World Events again and again and again, and then deleting posts made by people who don't like them and thus make those people cancel their accounts and make people who like that sort of thing to resubscribe or new people to subscribe.  That would really make my playtime more enjoyable, but that's just me (and many, many, many others), go figure.

    Not read all the replies here but just taken a look through the Blizz general forum and there seems to be plenty of negative and positive threads/comments about the event. There is even a 'zombie survival guide' sticky that people are debating on but there are 21 other posts for and against on the first page alone.

    I have no idea what has happened to some peoples posts, but the debate is there and comments on both sides of the fence are there for everyone to see, so i don't see much censorship in that?

    It must be Thursday, i never could get the hang of Thursdays.

    Couldn't agree with this more. I was in SW last night watching people moan and groan in general chat when someone piped up and said "Why don't you all just stop thinking about your epixx for a minute and have some fun".

    The people that are annoyed with this event ARE THE VERY PEOPLE THAT ARE WRONG WITH MMO'S TODAY. If everyone would just lighten the f*ck up once in a while we wouldn't be constantly embroiled in bitter feuds.

    Have people really forgotton how to have fun?

    Since apparently everyone who says something positive about the event is blizzard employee in disguise here we go:

    Dear customers, we will give you on/off switch to zombies and zombies will from now on politely ask if you want to get turned before they attack you, and they will all wait in line one by one so you can nuke the crap out of them from distance, also, since their movement speed wasnt slow enough for the most speed challenged people to run away we will be reducing their speed further by 90%. Also all zombies will be level 1 now and anyone carrying the disease will have big red sign filling half the screen telling they have plague and you got xx many seconds to run away from them.

    No more npc:s will be affected by plague but they will use their invulnerable belt of plague repel to keep them out of harms way so you can grind your 100 battlegrounds per day at peace without fear of interrupting your honour farm. To make sure you get best posibble service we will be adding personal argent healers following you to ensure you have cure available to you at all times

    Last but not least we will also include server where you can character move and it is guaranteed not to have anything that would slightly upset you, and mob aggro will be removed completely and they will use auto attack only, and only fight back when you hit them first, and whenever mobs on this server die they will drop instant purple epic per kill.

    Since in pvp everything but your class is overpowered we will be including "I-WIN" button to your class, which you can press to instantly win any pvp fight/arena/scenario you are in.

    Its duplicate posts blizzard are deleting, blizzard forums are very active no sense in having 100 posts about people QQ'ing over the event.

    Here is a sticked 1498 post thread about the event (negative and positive) http://forums.worldofwarcraft.com/thread.html?topicId=11693660644&sid=1

    Here is a 495 post thread (all negative) http://forums.worldofwarcraft.com/thread.html?topicId=11829504227&sid=1

    If blizzard delete your thread it because its yet another thread about something thats being talked about in a bunch of other threads already.  STOP SPAMMING THE FORUMS.

    agreed

     

    Posts may be close to others however not exact.  Blizzard and others may claim that there is a reason for deleting posts, but those posts were made by >>>Paying customers<<< who had to sign in on their active account to list.  All you nazzies and republicans may love the idea of controling peoples thoughts, but understand that while defending these actions you are activly acting against a fundamental birth-right provided by the first amendment.

     

    Blizzard and you may not imbrace this, yet to people of integrity, the burning of books and deletion of people's thoughts is absolutely UNACCEPTABLE.

    " i believe that a lot of posters like this person are Blizzard employees who are totally worried about being fired. " is what i said... like you reposted it and still didnt understand what i said.

     

    the answer is no.  You need to go back to bed, or get some coffee, or snort a blowfish or something to stimulate that slow mind of yours...

    And as to your >>MASSIVE<< boycott, keep fighting the good fight fellow patriot, I'm sure that Wal Street and housing market will receover just as soon as enough people unsubscribe from WoW... because it's all Blizzard's fault. And the Russians.

Blizzard should not be censoring the opinions of people who complain on their forums about such a dire situation as this and with such well thought-out arguments. Everybody's opinion is important, and you're not just a bunch of whining children who ought to be taken away in dumptrucks. You're World of Warcraft players, and you deserve to be treated with respect.

  • XenuneXenune Member Posts: 47

    I guess people forgot what the RPG stand for or people on PvE servers that think zombies is all about pvping against themselves should really get slapped for being so ignorant about it.

    The posts from those links are merely trolling and Arthas is no joke compared to illidan so of course he will TAKE OVER THE WORLD! People on those posts are trying to make it feel like it is the end of the world for WoW and the trollers prevail by making dozens of random zombie posts that blizzard will considered SPAMMING and delete it off their forums. If they recieved enough feedback from people then they will give you a formal response. Start opinions somewhere that isn't started by trolls so that you dont jump the gate to late on posts that look like it was merely trolling.

    I think people need to step back or 2 and just see that this is 1) Roleplaying game with tons of lore 2) Blizzard prividing this one time event that experiences a plague that tries to take OVER THE WORLD! 3) Lastly, it's old news that trollers try to make big havok about it and make feeders go off about it. Go play the game and it will be over soon. I guess people didn't see the camps trying to cure the plague. sigh >.>

    lol @ some of you.

    You forgot to say republicans too...  Nazzies, Commies, and republicans...

     

    It is amazing to me how you guys will ignore what people are saying.  Not only that you will attempt to tell us how we should feel.  In your mind, indeed we will all be back after this event because to you everyone is as addicted to this game as you are.  Well let me tell you, i have 2 70s 2 65+ a 29 twink a 39 twink, and 4 19 twinks; on one server alone.  As attached as i am to all of those toons, my outrage at Blizzard is enough to simply let them go.  Now many of you agree with me, yet a lot of you can't fathom such a thing as this.

     

    There is a fundamental Dif between the peoples who dont mind the hypnotism machine that Blizzard has created and the ones who see it for what it wasw designed to be.  I am the later.  I have attempted to share my thoughts and hoped to express my concerns in a way that people can understand.  I guess it just escaped you. 

    It's likely that you totally understand what I'm saying, but refuse to admit it.  Concession and understanding is beyond some people.

     

    Bottum line...  We have a right to be upset.  Nobody has a right to be upset with us for being upset about not recieving what we pay for.  It is not your place to decide what i will and will not stand for.  and No, i will not shut up and keep playing wow. 

    It is the truely addicted player that can not fathom being angry with Blizzard.  To them, blizzard is god and my words are no less than blasphemy.

  • BarCrowBarCrow Member UncommonPosts: 2,195

    I think..like mentioned earlier...they are consolidating posts. Though it is one's perogative to be upset...I don't understand why. I think its a fun event..imo....but even for those who don't care to much for the event...it isn't that much grief...you're usually mere seconds from a graveyard...idk...maybe it's just me...but i was ganked many times and it never seemed to be a bother.

  • ste2000ste2000 Member EpicPosts: 6,194

    To be honest there were litterally hundreds of different threads complaining about the Zombie event.

    The forum was becoming a mess.

    We made a point and I think they got it, since today the event was ok, it looks like they nerfed it a bit.



    We achieved our goal so now all those threads are just trash and needs to be deleted if new ones comes up.

    Actually, no that's not it at all. 

    I personally couldn't care less if you ever come back.  If you quit playing the game because of a world event, then that's your business and your right, however I won't miss you at all.  I don't care that you're upset over this.  It's a little world event.  The sky is not falling.  The world is not coming to an end.  That light at the end of the tunnel is not an oncoming train.....well maybe it is, but you get the point. 

    Now don't take that the wrong way.  I've got nothing against you.  You have every right to be upset and to voice your displeasure....and I have every right to tell you to quit whining.  That's how the forums work.

    /sarcasm on

    And I have 6 level 70's, a lvl 66 and 2 in their 20's, so my opinion is better than yours.

    OH ?

    And it's not immoral to impose your negative thinking on other players? Sure, no-one is forcing them to read it, but if joe shelly right next to you there was thinking something really negative about your current situation, would you want him to just turn to you and start telling you about it?

    If you do, you're sick.

    Most people don't want to hear negativity. You guys need to stop feeling so entitled to everything and demading the world conform constantly to your demands. Once you grow up, you'll realize what the hell i'm talking about, and if you're grown up, then you need to come to the realization that you will never mature.

    Call me names and flame me all you want, but in the end, you have to look at yourself in the mirror, you have to face YOU. But this requires you thinking that you're not so important and entitled to have your opinions heard and accepted by everyone.

    But then again, if you're a teenager, you're fine, you're just serving your self fufilling role as a pre-adult human in our society, grats to you!
