The not so fast brewfest ram and me, also trust

So, I am more or less unquitting , although my quitting probably had little effect on Blizzard, because although now unsubscribed , its still paid till September  something. I did unsub my EU account and haven't resubbed.

But your probably wondering about the Brewfest ram.

So rather a long time ago, back during the first Brewfest   Blizzard did something kinda neat. You could through tickets at level 40 get a quest  paper thingy that let you buy the Brewfest rams. This was pretty neat because up until then any cool thing was reserved for max level character, sure you had to be level 40 but it was doable.

I was really excited because although my priest was near max level, my druid was lvl 21 and I so wanted the ram for my druid. I  leveled my druid and got the ram. this took a lot of effort and i was sick at the time so probably wearing my self out leveling was a bit unreasonable.

My best friend insisted it would be there next year. and I should rest, but no I got the ram. Ok I was a bit unhealthily obsessed. My guild thought I was crazy. Do you know why I got the ram that year? It was because I knew it was too cool, it was way to fun, way to great for a non max level character to get and I said, you know they're gonna remove this. My friend and I argued about it and I was adamant,  I was getting the ram now because it would be gone.

Guess what? blizzard removed the ram. you cant get the slow lvl 40 Brewfest ram anymore unless you did the quest. It was too easy, I guess or too fun or  the horde shouldn't get an alliance mount. I was right, but not happy about being right.

I played since vanilla, I already knew you couldn't trust blizzard, if its fun, they will take it away  or nerf it. I really don't get them I think there is some sort of griefer type person high up in their hirearchy.

So I'm still playing, I'm glad flying s back, as I kinda like grinds, but I still don't trust Blizzard.

I'm also buying Final Fantasy when I can afford it for me eldest child, after I build them a new PC that can run it.

Not exactly sure what I'm saying here , but Blizzard hasn't exactly changed all that much, you could see this removing thing even back in The Burning Crusade, I' saw the pattern a long time ago. When they took out flying I wasn't all that surprised , actually I wasn't surprised, disapointed  though .
