They're protecting people with no values who are buying their items, the same exact stuff that ruined retail - protecting people who wilfully buy without caring about what they support. Also, if they didn't add in in-game mounts and items for real world money like they said they wouldn't, then the issue wouldn't have happened. The majority of the player base will not want these things removed, they're just pandering to a virtually non-existent/made up audience like it'll improve their image. What did these poor souls do back then, they must all be traumatised because someone spat on them in a game. To protect people? No idea if you played in Vanilla or even TBC, but getting /spit on whilst some horde rogue ganks you for no reason for the 5th time is just part of the game. If you think changing catcall is an "SJW" move, you're probably a big part of the reason why WoW's community is toxic. I'll be honest, I am very quick to criticize Blizzard harshly, and I thought the removal of /spit was a blatant effort to protect people spending money without taking actual action against harassment, but a lot of you guys in the comment section are scum bags. Regardless to there's just something about this that feels really patronizing and cringe. I dunno, were people even using it that way an actual thing? Cat calling other players is worse than killing pixels. Imo there is a line somewhere in there but it is hard to define.Īlso in WoW you don't interact only with NPCs you also interact with real people. When you start creating content around your game play with an agenda, titles, webcam feed or commentary it becomes something else than humiliating pixels. I wouldn't mind if they would ban people from either platform if the sole purpose of their channel would be to do horrible thing to representative of X race, sex, religion, nationality etc in video games. However, when you are creating content for sites such as Youtube or Twitch, it is different. I think you should be allowed to do whatever you like to pixels when you play games on your own. Thanks to Wowhead user Hathorne for the tip and screenshots above. On the Public Test Realm, the whistle emote sound files have been changed to the retail version, where it is less suggestive. The "Rewards Information" explains how to qualify and what percentage the cutoffs will be for the Arena pool.Ĭurrently on Burning Crusade Classic realms, if a player emotes "/whistle" while targeting another player, the sound file is suggestive and often referred to as a "cat calling" whistle. No Arena teams are playing on the PTR, so the current rating is displaying as 0. This billboard will display information regarding how to qualify for Arena Season rewards, what the percentage cutoffs are, and a current Rating cutoff for those rewards. And, to entertain yourself while they make you wait, you can spam the boring emote! That’s what it’s for.An update to the Burning Crusade Classic Public Test Realm just went live, implementing the Arena Reward Cutoffs and an interesting change to the whistle emote sound.īehind the Arena Battlemasters in Shattrath is an "Arena Bulletin Board" that players can interact with. You can already have your moves chosen in your head for the next five turns, but it’s gonna take you ages to get there while you wait fifteen seconds for your opponent to take the move you already knew they were going to. It’s just as bad mannered as spamming emoticons, if not worse, because they’re deliberately wasting your time. The real issue I find is the roping, or running the clock to the last possible second before making a move. As long as someone isn’t just blasting you with as many emotes as possible, does it really matter if they’re a troll who can only get their jollies by poking fun at strangers with Dr. It’s distracting, it’s annoying, you could say they were trying to get you to make a mistake and give them an easy win. The biggest issue, given how limited it is as a communication method, is spamming. ![]() Some players like to do things like hit “Thank you” when something the other player does benefits them, some like to say “Well Played” when they think they have a sure win but before they’ve actually beaten you (and it’s always fun to turn that around on them), and some just use them for customary hello, thanks, nice playing with you stuff. For those unfamiliar with it, each player has a small set of emotes/voice lines they can use (Greetings, Thanks, Threaten, Well Played, etc). I feel like Hearthstone is a good point of reference for this.
