I wonder if they changed the animation for Shadow Bolt. It would be pretty hilarious to see an EVIL BAG flying at your face.

Violence and disrespect encourage unrest. This is not good for authoritative figures.

As a non-Chinese living in China, I welcome you guys another perspective at this situation.
Now I personally dont find this to be a problem, but you guys have to realize the line between reality and gaming is speeding into a blur. A lot of addict gamers, especially in China, have psychological issues related to gaming, suicides and murder have occurred. As a sensible government, putting together a stricter policy against gore in game is just a way of saying "we believe this is creating a negative image towards our youth". You may agree or disagree with the statement, but the censorship is there for a perfectly moral reason. (You can even argue against morals, I mean come on violence is rated +13 and sex is rated +18. A paradox I find in the world promoting negativity and death instead of embracing life and the joys of it.)
If what you say is true (and I am not saying it is or isn't) China has a much bigger problem than a computer game. If someone is so disturbed that they commit murder or suicide over a game, the game is incidental. The problem is that fact that someone commited murder or suicide over something so unimportant. If the game hadn't existed chances are the person would still have committed murder or suicide, but just for other reasons. To deal with the problem the government should not focus on the game (which imo is not the problem), but the mental health of her people.
It seems like a 'blame Canada, before someone thinks of blaming us'-response.
BTW I understood that the reasons China wanted to change the look of the game was more to do with cultural taste and taboo than a rising murder or suicide rate. A large number of Chinese people find the sight of bones, intestines etc. distasteful, and that is the reason Wow's look had to change.
