I can see that me arguing with you obviously won't go anywhere.geldonyetich said:Well, if I was in his situation, I imagine I would too.cooperace27 said:What if I told you that one of the kid's wishes was to have their character leveled to 80 while we were there?
What else is there to say? Are you going to plead that turning a number to 80 was a terrible sacrifice on behalf of Blizzard that helped this kid gain a true appreciation for life?
Sure, you can find offense to anything. And I reserve the right to be offended you chose to find offense in misinterpreting me.I don't doubt the irony in the post at all, in fact, I dare you to find where I questioned your use of irony, but I can still find offense in the post.
You can choose not to understand the logic of what I wrote if you wish, but that only diminishes my interest in continuing to discuss anything with you.Yes, Blizzard can remain hypocritical. Sure. A company that donated 1 million dollars and its staff who made 20 kids have one of the greatest experiences of their lives? That's hypocritical?
Nice emotional appeal. I respect the kids had a good time. I do not, however, respect what happened in the bigger picture that you have chosen to ignore.Is Blizzard just this BIG BAD company with no heart? No, I met with and talked to developers, PR people, and creative designers who made that day one of the greatest days of my life. Heck, I even met the lead singer of Level 80 Elite Tauren Chieftain and he drew a picture of me. So for you to go and make comments like the ones above really makes me crazy.
An emotional appeal does nothing to refute my argument and (being an INTJ by nature) it's wasted on me.
No. Try again.Could Blizzard have donated the whole proceeds towards Make A Wish? Yes. Could they have just not done anything with the proceeds at all? Yes. They gave money to help out a charity, and the response was enormous, and you are sitting at your computer chastising them for only giving away half as much?
This should be my question to you, as you're the one who decided to start this whole line of discussion by choosing to express you were offended.What is your problem?
Honestly, the only problem I seem to have is that I've homework to avoid and apparently these forums are an excuse. That's not to say I'm trolling so much as I've an idle mind grasping for an excuse for an ill-conceived diversion which you provided.
I only want to clarify what you think the "big picture" was.
