I never cared about mounts or pets or mogs. And it was all done during Panda. Maybe it was for some currency or tokens? I can't remember

Pathetic attempts at who is the most pathetic! I finally got Nalak's mount last night after 1133 attempts - now that's pathetic. Just 3 Pandaria world mounts to go.

NOICE! PTR 9.1.5 Development Notes

Several emotes have been adjusted:
Drool, cough, burp, fart, whistle, spit, and moon no longer change when used while targeting a player.
Pounce and groan have been adjusted when used while targeting a player.
4 new emotes have been added – Huzzah, magnificent, impressed, and wince.
Kick, stink, shake, and moan have been removed.

Developers’ note: Some of these emotes seem to have harmless intentions at a glance, but when used while targeting another player, their intentions can turn unexpectedly suggestive or intrusive. We’ve made adjustments to these emotes with negative connotations towards another player, while also adding a few new ones.

It's a good start, but I still don't feel safe playing this game. It feels like I'm being raped every time I login.

What a joke. I can’t imagine having to sit through a fucking meeting discussing the potentially offensive emotes in a game which is supposedly centered around war.

Just imagine a group of people trying to out WOKE each other...

Well I made them get rid of the SPIT emote...
Well I made them remove Alex Afrasiabi from the game...
Well I made them turn titties into fruit...
Well I made them change Jessie McCree...
Well I made them remove the world blacklist from code...
Well I made them remove enslave demon...

and in an ever ending spiral everything WOKE turns to shit.

lol, by the time they get done making this game a safe space you'll just be able to look at your character and nothing else. I can't believe upper management is allowing this kind of stuff to happen with their cash cow.

If you don't think upper management are the ones driving these decisions, then I don't think you've ever worked for a large company.

This reeks of classic PR diversionary tactics. "What can we do to make it look like we're addressing *a* problem rather than actually addressing the thing we've been accused of doing with documented evidence?"

Upper Management: "We've been accused of creating at toxic environment. What can we do to rid the game of perceived toxicity?"
Designer: "Uh, actually *you've* been accused of fostering a toxic workplace. *We* haven't been accused of anything."
UM: "Okay, but what can we do to rid the game of perceived toxicity?""
D: "I quit."

This is amazing. Each patch gets better and better. You can almost see the clown makeup being applied. I've never looked forward so eagerly to patch notes for a game I don't play.

Seriously this is the internet they are dealing with. There is nothing that can't be turned toxic with a little gamer ingenuity.

In before you are no longer allowed to kill other players in PvP.

They already don't trust guilds to not be toxic internally, see forced master loot. Going to have to start signing consent forms to send people tells.

You can still teabag with sit/stand spam which arguably is way better than any emote.
