Aren't you thankful?!（難道你們還不感激嗎）

ashunter

Here's Diablo III's community manager, Bashiok, responding to a relatively constructive (by battle.net forums standards) post, worried that other useful stats, which many people pay money for, would be reduced in effectiveness after the fact:

"...We don't want people to be afraid of nerfs, and ... I guess maybe I can try to get that across by saying we could have nerfed a bunch of stats that probably deserve it to some degree, but we didn't (aren't you thankful!?)...." Source
Although this is only part of Bashiok's response, it is the part that the community reacted to.
"Arent You Thankful?" is the response to thousands of gamers who (in my opinion rather foolishly) spent hundreds of dollars on gear which is now effectively useless.  Here's how the community reacted:

"Yes we're thankful that you didn't make the game even worse than it is. Just stop replying to threads." Source

"I don't know how that could be less reassuring or more condescending." Source

"How the !@#$ do you still have a job Bashiok seriously? ...I'd love to be able to treat people like idiots, answer back, make completely idiotic mistakes all day every day and get away with it... Is Blizzard hiring?" Source

《暗黑破壞神 3》負載著玩家滿滿的期待在今日改版為 1.03 版本（美服為周三凌晨），其中以煉獄第二章後的削弱、修裝費提高以及攻速的改變為本次改版的重點。

自美服改版之後，各種不利玩家的改變紛紛浮上檯面，高級裝備（物品等級 53~63）修裝費暴漲造成收入困難、攻速效果大幅削弱連帶降低玩家的傷害輸出，這引起玩家在美版討論區上大篇幅的討論、抗議，認為目前哪個玩法強勢哪個就被削弱，實在是不知何所適從。

　　這些討論引起暴雪公關經理 Bashiok 注意並跳出來回應，但…不適當的玩笑（Bashiok 事後表示這僅是個玩笑）瞬間群體嘲諷了整個美版討論區。

內容大意是 Bashiok 當時發文回應玩家，表示目前還有一堆東西必須調整，而攻速影響技能、屬性過大，這問題無法等到 1.1 再來處理；暴雪並不希望玩家害怕被削弱，但事實上是目前還有一堆東西可以持續調弱，但目前並沒有這樣作（難道你們還不感激嗎！？），而暴雪相信除非有重大、誇張的影響，否則不能隨意改動遊戲內容，而這次的攻速就是符合這樣的條件。

因為這句 aren't you thankful!? （難道你們還不感激嗎？）引起玩家強烈的反感，也間接成為美版討論區上最熱門的回應關鍵句，《暗黑破壞神 3》自上市後一連串的更新內容，都讓玩家感到樂趣被剝奪，再配上這次的擦槍走火的嘲諷應對，只能說… Bashiok 肯定是個很襯職的主坦。
