Back when they implemented Real ID and forced people to provide real namr and identification for playing the games they paid for, these motherfuckers locked me out of my account for account sharing because someone logged in from another country. That was me, logging in for my lunch break at work, about 1 hour away from home. They demanded I not only gave them my real name, but even send a copy of my passport to them by email. Obviously I refused. I had the original box and the game code, but they didn’t care. There were no other fraud indicators. Just me logging in from work and using a pseudonym. I never got any of my games back. Fuck them
Also, an incredibly toxic work environment, lots of sexual harassment.
And, not as dramatic, but they don’t care about their own lore. For someone who used to be a Warcraft universe enthusiast, it was annoying and disappointing.
Oh, and World of Warcraft has roleplaying servers, but they don’t care to encourage that whatsoever. Anyone can join those servers, they work the same as the normal servers, and most players there don’t know or care about roleplaying. Trying to participate in a fallen comrade’s funeral while the night elf YOLO99 jumps around you and dances isn’t the most immersive experience.
