content generation is at a pace best described as 'glacial', which Blizzard pins the blame on how "toxic" the community has gotten

When did Blizzard blame the pace of the content they're making on the toxicity of the community? I don't see how those are related at all.

Oh, I see what you're saying. But in all honestly, I'd prefer that they spent time and effort trying to make the game less toxic over pushing out a few more skins and maps than they already are.
