The threw us a bone?

[heyaz]

They did not make this change for us

They did not have battlechest/expansion sales for us

They did not implement follow or IWT for us

They did not add group credit for collection quests for us

They did not add aoe cc to counter us

They did not make a last minute change to get an extra month or two out of us

The did not make CRZ phasing break follow just for us

They did not implement XYZ change to any significant game mechanic that affects the entire player base, because of us

And believe it or not, they did not break /follow in battlegrounds just for us. They broke all of the less sophisticated bots, which are also some of the ones that they can't detect easily since they used a legitimate in-game function. They broke afk /follow leeches in battlegrounds. Hop on over to your favorite premium bot forums and guess what, they broke portions of those too. Jump in an AV and take a look at the 10-15 players stuck in the cave because of follow not working, running all types of bots. They admitted to us as being collateral damage and it was a calculated risk. And honestly given the "I'll do want in BGs because I pay for this" attitude of a lot of boxers, is a reason they were willing to let us get hit too. MiRai touched on this subject in another thread and I agree with him.

and so forth....

Blizzard makes >$140,000,000 per month from subs. We're not an army, or even a large community. The bogus math like "there are 40k forum members on DB if only 1/4 five that's 50000 accounts!" is just ludicrous. A more conservative estimate would be like... about 1000 active boxers with 3-5 accounts each. It's probably more like 500 people boxing 5 or more and actively renewing subs over the years.

We're virtually nothing to their bottom line. They tolerate our playstyle, nothing more. You guys need to stop acting like you're entitled. The nonsense flooded all over the official WoW forums was disgusting, and it's starting to look almost as bad here on our own forums.
