The bad manners, rudeness and violent manner of the presentation was so unprofessional and aggressive that it was uncomfortable for me, even being part of the "in crowd" that wasn't being insulted. Especially considering the age of many WoW players. The things I heard said by the younger players, just while walking the halls were shocking. Alliance sexual assault jokes, direct insults to other players for which faction they chose? These are real life encounters that have consequences. Not to mention the group of alliance children that sat behind me during the closing ceremony, who were visibly upset by what was happening.

Узнала много нового, чюдесного. Ну, то, что компания Horde-bias и так было понятно, но это.. мдя.
UPD. Еще чудесная история:
"We're quite into the game, my wife especially loves her night elfs. I won't advertise the site but she ordered a shirt with a moonglade background and a night elf on it to wear to Blizzcon.
Leaving the event 2 young guys probably in their early 20s came up behind us and pulled on my wife's lanyard seemingly trying to break it off and shouted 'alliance b****' at her. It did not break lose and instead my wifes' head and neck were jolted downward. They took off running and I knew there was no way I could catch them. I wanted to go to a police station but neither of us were familiar with the area or America for that matter so she just wanted to go back to the hotel to rest her neck.
