The big thing you are neglecting to realize is that we could actually buy those pieces from a vendor (Speaking for MoP)
I fully realize and understand that distinction. (holinka)

Lore
because previous tweets have stated that we're dealing with an alternate universe legion.
no tweet I am aware of implies that. Not saying you're wrong just saying I haven't seen it. (Abrosiabi)

is Hellfire Archimonde from the AU or MU?
that's not how demons work. (Abrosiabi)
could you explain how demons work then? There's been a lot of changes and revelations since TBC.
Its really not a Twitter convo. There's a lot going on that we as inhabitants of Azeroth don't understand about demons (Abrosiabi)
right but we're asking if Archimonde this patch is from the AU or the one we killed at Hyjal.
Archimonde is a demon whose demon soul is anchored to the Nether. The Nether transcends all realities. That is all. (Abrosiabi)
does this extend to Old Gods? As in there's only one Cthun, Yogg, N-Zoth, etc.
Old Gods don't work like that. Haha, sorry couldn't resist. But seriously, they're different. Done for today! (Abrosiabi)
Sorry to intrude, but if there are multiple universes, isn't it likely that an Archimonde was born in and corrupted in more than one of these universes? What happened with the "extra" demonic copies?
that's actually a very good question with a complicated answer. Archimonde the Avenger?? He exist? (Abrosiabi)

Ghostcrawler Tweets
While the developers have been pretty quiet since @WarcraftDevs appeared, Ghostcrawler still occasionally talks about WoW. Remember that he no longer works for or speaks for Blizzard.

It makes me a little uncomfortable TBH. I look like a know-it-all asshat. We'll see if they run this tweet. (OccupyGStreet)
The communication you have shown with the playerbase should be the industry standard and not atypical.
Sounds good to me. How do we make that happen? (OccupyGStreet)

It seems to me that players often ask for things that the rest wouldn't have wanted. Or to put it another way; when listening to player feedback, how can a dev ever know how many people really feel that way?
It's an art. You have to evaluate the strength of their conviction and the soundness of their argument. (OccupyGStreet)
I always try to take the number of people who feel a certain way out of the equation since it's complicated to evaluate. (OccupyGStreet)

I just wanted to appreciate your stressful work. So many folks bashing you in WoW, and now they talk like it never happened.
I always felt like the hyperbolic critics were in the minority. Both WoW and LoL players make me feel really appreciated. (OccupyGStreet)
