WoW turning into a children's game

[۞ KAT ۞ AKA Red Viper]

i was reported in the past for language, in WoW.  Since that day, i had taken pains (much to others' annoyment) of censoring the F word, taking certain types of RP strictly private etc.

Now, i've been struck with a Mute.  For over a week. (with no warning mind you)  i've been playing this game nearly HALF my damned life.  i loyally report those actively breaking rules (Selling runs, inappropriate names etc), and this is how i've been treated.

World of Warcraft is rated T (Teen) by the ESRB for blood and gore, crude humor, mild language, suggestive themes, and use of alcohol and violence.  It has a profanity filter for the delicate snowflakes... yet a paying customer who has spent so much of her life is muted. No, it's not a ban, but it might as well friggin be.  To mute a heavy role player is a terrible form of torture.   If you can't see/understand that, you're not a heavy role-player.  A ban would have been kinder.

They had Garrosh call Sylvanas a bitch (2:30), in the game once... back when the game wasn't for children and you could go around and kill kid NPCs and sh*t.

This new development, my mute, which they felt ever so generous to gift to me ON FKN CHRISTMAS DAY, mind you, has given me time to seriously consider if WoW is the right game for me anymore.

i didn't care a fig about all the internal crap they got going on.  But this.... this pushed me a little too far.

Maybe this is just me venting... maybe i won't ever leave... i DO love the addons available, the game play, the...well, everything.  Except the damned people, it seems. 

Sadly, the Cats dont have the numbers anymore to run dungeons themselves... opening us up to having to group with the snowflakes that will report us, EVEN WHEN, they are warned ahead of time, it is an RP group.  Heavy RPers in WoW are disappearing at an alarming rate, so buffing our numbers up don't seem in the cards for us anymore.

Age of Conan might be a decent alternative... but i will have to do more research.  i don't want to invest in a game (time, money etc) where it's going to get diapered up again.

So sad how WoW has fallen.. so sad.

I played AoC when it was first released it was good for a brief moment then development just went poof.  I am not even sure if it is still playable if it is maybe just a few servers if any. The Woke generation is killing a lot of things that were awesome and mature. Odd that most of these people millenials grew up on Family Guy, Southpark but find the word F*(k offensive.  And 99% of them have explict IG, TIKTOK and Onlyfans.  So they are closet hypcrites IMO.

i agree with you Grim.

Shame about AoC.

ESO and FF are ones im looking at now. Mind you this is all just LOOKING at, considering and stuff.  ESO seems to have SOME addons for RPers (nothing like TRP or SIS sadly, but it has some things... which is more than the others which.. well, have none. lol)

GW2 i already have, and find the game play decent enough. The graphics are nice, it has pets, and mounts now, if you get the later expansions. Big plus is that it's free to play once you get the game, and the first one, is free to get period now.

Still need to do more research on the others. And like i said, i may not leave WoW... but the fact remains... WoW has become a place where we just cannot RP freely anymore.

Update....

Looks like the 'winner' is ELDER SCROLLS ONLINE.

There is a sale on until Jan 5th to get the gold version delux edition that comes with a mount and all the past expansions and all that stuff.

i just got the basic version (under ten bux) to try it out.

Game is also rated M for mature. *flips the finger to Blizzard and all those who reported me*

I will be adding my two cents in the next 24 hours (mostly because I'm in a rush and can't read all of this right now, but I think c and I have spoken enough on the phone that she knows were I stand. To put it in a nutshell, I'm downloading ESO and committing my internet to the two weeks it will take to download. More on my decision later, but it goes back to my 6 month ban in Feb of 2020, right after I got the covid.

There seems to be a pretty interesting game coming out in 2022. Fractured. One thing that perked my interest is you can build and craft your own city or something like that. The economy is player based so all items will be crafted and sold traded etc. Looks cool.

Actually looking at the game play looks janky asf.
