After it was revealed in the California v. Blizzard court case how serious the sexual harassment cases are, especially of ex-Blizzard employee Alex Afrasiabi, Horde players made it a point to keep killing the Alliance NPC Field Marshal Afrasiabi in Stormwind.

Update:

The NPC is still in the game but now despawns when Horde players approach. Recommended editorial contentAtthis point you will find external content from [PLATTFORM].

Afrasiabi was one of the first employees at Blizzard. He was most recently the senior creative director in charge of World of Warcraft and surprisingly left the company in April 2020 after 16 years. Now we know what the reason might have been....

Due to his long time at Blizzard and in the original team of World of Warcraft, Afrasiabi is dedicated to many allusions, items and just the NPC in Stormwind. He was also known as either Furor or Valnoth on the forums, which is why allusions with these names are also present in WoW. Likewise, details from his Everquest days can be found in Blizzard's MMORPG.

After the attacks on the NPC made the rounds on the reddit WoW forum and more and more players joined in, Blizzard has now removed the NPC from Stormwind. Warning signs from other players have been put up to point out this eyesoreStill

question is whether Blizzard will also remove the items associated with his name from the game after his N

PC.

This should take a little longer, because there are really countless and sometimes important items such as the item that starts the quest line for the iconic sword Quel'Serrar.
