Fans are frustrated by Blizzard harassers all over World of Warcraft

Recently, Activision Blizzard was sued by the California Department of Fair Employment and Housing for allegedly widespread sexual harassment and a culture of TBC Classic Gold discrimination. The lawsuit states that the company's workplace culture is toxic and can support and protect abusers. But Activision Blizzard issued a statement denying this fact. As the appalling allegations against Activision Blizzard came to light, part of the lawsuit was particularly shocking. According to the complaint, Alex Afrasiabi, the creative director of World of Warcraft, is said to be notorious for his actions.

During a company event, Afrasiabi would attack female employees, try to kiss them, and put his arms around them. This is the obvious view of other male employees, including the supervisor, who had to intervene and pull him from the female employees. Afrasiabi will also refer to women as derogatory terms in company activities. Blizzard Entertainment executives are very aware of Afrasiabi's behavior, but they did not take effective remedial measures.

Afrasiabi joined Blizzard in 2004 as a mission designer for World of Warcraft. Among his many credits, the mission he designed gave birth to a notorious World of Warcraft meme, Thunder Fury, Wind Chaser's Blessing Blade. In 2014, he was appointed as the creative director of Warlords of Draenor, the fifth expansion of World of Warcraft. He also served as the creative director in Battle for Azeroth and as an additional leader in Shadowlands.

Afrasiabi was still working at Blizzard until June 2020, when he apparently left the company with little mention, which confuses the few fans who noticed his departure. In contrast, when Jeff Kaplan left the company, it publicly admitted his departure. Although Afrasiabi is no longer there, his WOW TBC Classic Gold existence still lingers in World of Warcraft. Kotaku was able to confirm that there are at least two NPCs that continue to be named after him, as well as some projects that directly reference him.

Players can find the problematic NPC, Field Marshal Afrasiabi and Lord Afrasastrasz in Stormwind City and Wrymrest Temple respectively. In addition to NPCs, there are many items named after Afrasiabi, including Fras Siabi's cigar cutter, a rare axe, and Siabi's high-end tobacco and other common task items. The content of Stormwind is no longer there. Although the temple reference belongs to the quest provider, it applies to the old content of Wrath of the Lich King. Therefore, players may encounter these things to varying degrees.

Because Blizzard has a precedent, delete the NPC that references the person in question. Therefore, fans on the World of Warcraft forum are advocating deleting or renaming Afrasiabi's reference material. As early as 2020, shortly after Swifty's former partner accused him of abusing his power, Blizzard deleted two NPCs named after the popular World of Warcraft anchor Swifty, although the company did not specify whether the two were related.

In the case of Afrasiabi, Blizzard has not given a positive response. However, posts on the forum called Afrasiabi a "stain" in the World of Warcraft community, and even a player left a "go away" sign in front of one of his NPCs. If you lack time to play games due to work and urgently need a large amount of WOW TBC Classic Gold, it is recommended that you visit MMOWTS immediately and place an order. They are ready to provide players with the cheapest TBC Classic Gold.
