I'm an old style gamer: I game. The only times I used the forums where
1) To search if a malfunction was experienced by other users other than me and if there was a fix;
2) To check when the release dates of Skyrim and Fallout 4 would be published.
Also, I don't play any Blizzard game as they just don't meet my tastes. Bethesda, on the other hand...

Just last night I shot at some bandits. One saw it coming and took an arrow in the eye. The others were hit in various places and never knew what hit them. One even had an arrow in the knee, but not even he got up again and walked away to become a guard.

The "poor you" part is really condescending.
I'd rather be phishing!

That's really the problem, isn't it?
In the world we currently live in--especially after the last few months--when a someone complains [s]he's being harassed, how can anyone think that "poor you" would be a good answer under any circumstances?
I'm not surprised by Blizzard's response to say the least.

I thought he was joking.. You mean.. really?
The problem with Blizzard game, they are very social, and I have those online friends waiting for me....
But really tempted to say f*** you and good bye. Particularly after the copy paste answer to my my ticket this morning which was, short version by me: "I don't know and I don't care"

After someone comment on your answer.. I wonder.. were you serious? (i.e., not joking)
Are you stretching it here? or most American will immediately jump to that conclusion?

I have this habit of cleaning up the spam folder regularly. This morning when I opened it to clean, there were 2 spam mails. One of them from a someone named as a former colleague of mine. For a second I was a bit confused.
There hasn't been any interaction between us for years now and all of a sudden that name pops up. I am not sure if this was just a coincidence or someone has access to my contacts.

Spammers love harvesting address books. If they have his address book, they can spam his contacts with a better-than-otherwise chance of it getting through filters, automated and human.
Odds on, he's fallen for some sort of phishing.

LOL, the same thing has happened to me a few times too. I seriously doubt it was a coincidence, especially if there is a link on the email. The last time was from a former co-worker that I didn't even care for or even socialized with. It's a little strange seeing "Hi Joe!" from someone like that.
I believe what happens is a computer with an email client on it, such as Outlook, is infected with a virus. The virus exports the computer's address book to some distant server and harvests it into a giant list meant for spamming and whatnot. Doing a quick google it looks pretty easy to use PowerShell or even worse, VBScript to export an Outlook address book. Thus, I'm very suspicious when I receive an email from someone that I do not socialize with.

My bloody accountant got hacked a couple of years ago and I got an email with an attachment from them, not an unusual occurrence, however the wording was suspicious and I NEVER get a tax refund.
I do believe a secretary was sacked over the incident, which is a bit harsh on a 16yo kid but I was one of the few who caught the attack, a lot got through apparently.

Local Government eh? Took 3 days to realize their computers weren't working.
And how many people have been on hold since Monday?

Sounds like business as usual to me.

Cut them some slack. It's most likely a large network and most computers / servers are probably infected and need to be restored. Data needs to be restored from backups. That will all take time.
