Q u o t e:
We aren't interested in petitions. They don't contain much information. It should be no surprise to anyone that we don't want players to cancel. On the other hand, it's hard to tell from someone's intent to cancel whether they are going to go through with it or not, and in any case, we can't be held hostage to tactics of "Do this or else." Buff my class or I'll cancel.


Let disect....

They contain the information that PVP is broken and people are sttarting to get annoyed with it.

It wouldnt be holding hostage, it would be blackmail, different thing. But that is not what people are doing. People are annoyed withthe way PVP has been destroyed and as a paying customer they have a right to complain if the product they pay for is not "working as intended" now dont they?

This is not about nerfing or buffing classes. This is about the state of PVP---Arena, BG's and World PVP. All of the above are broken and people are complaining about it.

As i said in a previous post on the subject.....

Pride comes beore the fall.

So does Arrogance.

Petition threads contain mainly "/sign" or "I agree" rather than constructive discussion. These are discussion forums, not a petition board. There are plenty of better suited services on the web for petitions; we suggest you use one of those rather than posting deliberate violations of the forum guidelines.

Which is direct abuse of Blizzard and/or it's employees and will not be accepted under any circumstance.

Fair enough. We can understand the fact that players can get frustrated and need to express their opinions. What we will not accept is spamming, trolling or direct abuse as displayed in several locked threads here already. If you are unable to convey your opinions and thoughts without breaking the forum rules, then you are better off not posting at all.

Frustrations resulting in forum posting, albeit humanly understandable, does not give the right to ignore the rules in place. These are our forums, and we expect all players posting in them to adhere to the guidelines we have laid out.

Thread Locked.
