Thank God someone actually understands the difference. Thanks Oldschool.
One little thing to point out, if a business is well organized and run, which I want to believe that ACtivision/Blizzard is, they understand the initial revenue of the game and consequential xpacs have to cover the ongoing cost of development. In other words, they more than likely know in advance how much development time needs to be included in the price of good delivered initially. If that were not the case then these companies would not exist. I promise you there is a contingency of funds available just for the sole purpose of making the game better from money we paid as consumers. I truly believe the best businesses in the world focus on consumerism and not just the internal talent they have.
In Flux's defense these are the same questions that have been asked and not just by him. Seeing him poke Travis for an actual response is a good thing. I get a bit tired of reading the corporate line from fanboys. Good for Flux trying to make edgy comments to try and get some reaction.
Don't you all get tired of NO ONE ever saying anything that has real value? "we feel this is in a good place(insert 6pc sets, barbs, monks, etc)" - how many times have you seen and actually AGREED with that statement? Are we not the customer? Do we not have input beyond "designing a legendary item workshop"? Did everyone forget PVP? Has everyone forgotten the "millions" of builds?
That said, I am grateful for even the smallest scraps of changes that lead to something better because this isn't going to change anytime soon.
Actually, no, you don't have input beyond that. Getting to even do the legendary workshop is actually a plus, because you're a paying customer for THEIR product. This entitlement attitude is just exponentially growing and it blows my mind. If you don't like it, don't buy it. Don't, however, try to claim that you've got some God-given right to decisions made for the product.
And @ Ruksak, I completely agree. I'm honestly embarrassed to be a part of the same gamer base as that guy. I can't believe they couldn't get someone more professional in there.
Again, they have a product because we buy it. Since when has it been okay for businesses to do whatever they deem as right and that consumers have no say/input into what they want? You think that is entitlement, but I think that is consumerism. Entitlement is not the same and perhaps before you label something as such maybe you might want to educate yourself on this first. Why do you think billions of dollar are spent each year by companies to get input and do consumer testing? Sorry, but entitlement is the idea of getting something you want without having to earn it. Like most who care to spend enough time posting in a forum we have spent thousands of hours on their games and pay for them I believe this should at the very least give us a voice but not necessarily the decision in the final product.
