blizzard is against player happiness and QOL. Therefor it is only natural that they create anti-player mechanics.
Chat bug is one of them.
Since bugs are ignored, they should be seen as INTENDED player hazing by blizzard entertainment.
This is yet another reason why I didnt buy ROTW. There were no bug fixes at all and they called it an update. LOL
Im gonna explain to you how things work in 2026.
Someone in Blizzard: Hey boss, so this D2r project we launched years ago and left for dead, its kinda still popular you know.. We could make alot of money on this product im sure of it.
CEO/Investors: MONEY ? YES, get the janitor here right now.
Janitor: Ports Warlock and some stuff from a mobile game, sits down with MRlame to plan some pr events and done.
Money rolls in, CEO/Investors are happy and greenlight the next expansion for the Janitor to make.
