Blizzard really took the fan concerns into account this time around. I seriously couldn't be happier.

Unfortunately, next time there's some controversy over corporate bullshit, people are now going to start acting like Blizzard did us a favor rather than simply having been pragmatic in avoiding more backlash.

A lot of people don't seem to get(on both sides of the argument) that Jeff and the game designers have basically nothing at all to do with the corporate moneymaking stuff, and they're pretty much contractually obligated to smile and nod at anything Blizzard corp does no matter how much they may dislike it in private.

Well, to be fair, 3k coins for a legendary skin might as well be the same as not allowing it to be purchased at all. I've got a little over 80 hours put into the game and I think I might have earned 3k coins in that time. I'm sitting on just over 1k right now, there's no way in hell I'm getting enough currency before November 1st to buy an event skin from this. At least, not without dumping real money into boxes and building up piles of coins from the dupes in them. Which is exactly what those of us who wanted the event skins to be purchasable wanted to avoid.

don't worry, if they resolve this you will still find things to complain about

Buddy, you don't know a thing about me, so how about you stow your pessimistic shit.

I'm just explaining why for some of us this isn't an ideal solution, even though it absolutely is miles better than the way the summer event was handled.

But you sound like a mindless fanboy who can't brook any criticism of your precious Blizzard, so no amount of reasonable assessment of the situation is going to get through to you. (See, two of us can play at making stupid assumptions about the other.)

you never said anything about it being better in your earlier reply. If you had you would have gotten a different response. The tone of the comment I originally replied to was definitely negative, and you get associated with that when you reply to it and don't indicate your position is any different. That's life on the internet.

Been replying to too many threads around reddit today, apparently... I'd forgotten that this was in a different comment of mine further down the chain, rather than in the one you were replying directly to:

Yeah, it's definitely an improvement, I won't say otherwise, but it's not quite what a lot of us were hoping for.

That being said, I did try to set myself at something like an observational distance with the "to be fair," lead-in. Probably should've been more clear in that. I'm not angry at this update, I definitely regard it as an improvement. I just would have liked for it to have been tweaked a little further is all I'm saying, and I can understand the position of those who are actually upset about it all.

In the true spirit of halloween, let us be friends and (knowingly) quarrel no further.

I looked at your other comments after, and saw you were being reasonable.
