Yea man, its just a shame that Blizz either doesn’t seem to understand their game is worse from a complete gameplay point of view and don’t care because they have a “vision” for the game. Or they actually think that what they are putting out is better than the way the game was back before WoD. I dont know which scenario is worse.
The worrying thing is listening to Ion Hazzikostas speak and hes always on about how video games have changed since WoWs release, but he doesn’t seem to realise that his game has become more like a rollercoaster ride than it ever was. Its like going to a theme park and going on the same ride 100 times, its always going to get boring. Its why i play PvP but nowadays i still have to ride the rollercoaster to even be competitive.
Its just a massive shame that Ion and the other devs can’t seem to put their pride aside and listen to the older players who know what made the game fun cause we actually played it.
Either that or its just some greedy money ploy to drain what is left of the WoW community until it just becomes a mobile game, but we will never know so i guess im done on the forums for now cause this crap aint gonna do anything.
This is what happens when someone responsible has tunnel vision, is too proud to listen to feedback, or just doesn’t care. How can we call a company which is spammed by constructive feedback, yet they ignore everything and do everything as they want? regardless if people are gonna like it, because it’s obvious they knew before implementing RNG systems that players will hate randomness of rewards rather than stable and known before reward (i know what i’m working for).
Yea i know, they even said before BFA they took RNG too far and then they went even further in BFA, i mean i know they corrected it by removing titanforging and they are sorting out the weekly chest in Shadowlands, but they seem so focused on removing currencies and so stubborn about putting them back on with their own twist. I’m just sat here like they would be heroes if they just brought back justice/valor and honour/conquest. I honestly feel like maybe they want to but they are given goals on player engagement by the higher ups, because i dont think anyone is this stubborn in the face of overwhelming criticism without a more potent fear of something else.
I think it could honestly just be some marketing and sociologists at Activision, telling them that they need to keep players engaged, when all they need to do is listen to the players, and try and find a balanced solution to what the majority of players want. The only problem is the majority of players that are left are either the addicted old players like myself or the casual mount collecting types (no hate on them but the endgame shouldnt be balanced around them, cause otherwise it just becomes braindead. Like PvP atm).
I can bet money that if Blizzard would implement something like Points of Justice or Valor ones so you would get some after raid boss kill you would need 1 month of raiding to be able to buy even 1 item, it is predictable, exactly how they are implementing things. Like someone is inventing elixir of immortality and it is put on market for everyone, it is listed for 10 000 $ but your monthly salary i 10$, things are open for everyone but in reality not many of them will afford that.
Yea, they like to give us things but at such a horribly slow rate because they are afraid of players being bored. But they seem to have forgotten that ppl played the endgame in MoP and Cata with it being accessible by almost everyone and no one complained. They need to focus on players actually being able to “complete” their chars cause most players will make an alt instead of quitting.
exactly! there are 36 specs already, why not making expansion alt friendly? This alone would keep players subbed for long time. Players love to change characters/specs/roles, sticking to 1 character is unpopular these times.
Yea, i know man its nice to find someone that has the same mindset as me, i play PvP and i like being competitive but i also spent the entire time of Late BC --> Late MoP only doing PvP, and when i got bored i would mess about on alts in BG’s and it was so fun, gearing and going from useless to a god with conquest gear on like 3/4 alts.
