Honestly I am shocked he even got this position when he doesn’t understand anything regarding balancing. We got classes with 1 DPS spec and they are bottomfeeding and getting 0 buffs to their damage/abilities, meanwhile classes with multiple DPS specs get their worse performing one’s buffed. The logic is utterly flawed, it is basically telling people to play their offspecs (which some don’t enjoy) whilst neglecting their DPS specs.

Why would you play a worse class? We should only have mages and token warriors+ shamans for their raid buff.
People hate on mage but the boomkin lobby has everyone fooled with them receiving more buffs than anyone else. Zirene also gave us bangers in WotLK like the overnight feral buff that put them above dk’s + warlocks and the hunter trap launcher which made them #1 until icc full buff + full bis mages.
Personally, if I were in charge, I would give WW and SP a pity buff to help close the gap but I think both these specs are just flawed in design.
There’s nothing really that makes them flawed from a gameplay perspective.
WW monks lack of scaling and impactful tierbonuses is what kind of holds them back at least. SP I couldn’t tell but I wouldn’t be shocked if they suffer from a similar issue.
SP is just a worse Affliction and part of that is due to the fact we are on the last patch and SP’s glory days in MoP were prior to that.
I hope you are right. It absolutely isn’t for everyone but as I say it is great for those that it is for.
Thats just straight up incorrect, when you hand in the sigils to wrathion he offers two quests. One to kill Sha of Fear in TOES and one to kill Sha of Doubt in Celestial Jade Serpent.
If you pick one up the other one doesn’t appear but you can just abandon the sha of fear one if you picked up it and take the sha of doubt one. https://www.wowhead.com/mop-classic/quest=91786/when-in-doubt there you go thats the quest
Stop being confidently incorrect, it’s a bad look

Totally agree with all your points.
From a pvp perspective
Battlegrounds:
I’ve completed both Battlemaster and Khan (within the opening 2 weeks) its not a flex its more to show ive played alot of bgs and im a bg enjoyer.
Poorly implemented Legendary quest caused an influx of PvE based mains in battlegrounds which has caused more issues, it was nice seeing new players etc but the toxicity has been bad!
Game is littered with metas top damage usually comes from dots and boring gameplay, cata did have issues too such as boomies and frost dks.
I havent really touched on arena this season im not big arena player mostly sitting around 2k, ive heard its littered with mw + hunter and warriors dominating.
People will kick off about premades in random bgs but that does not bother me id rather go against a harder opponents, i get the gy farms are boring but thats few and far between, the most annoying aspect at the moment is resto druids with iceblock / det etc. warriors just spinning and massive deep wound damage, most warriors not an issue if poorly played but when there is 3-4 plus every game it can get tedious.
overall MoP for me has been lackluster disaster but knew that was the case anyway but its a bit more tolerable than retail.
the main issue for me was the massive server merge most servers have a server that hates them… Mirage vs Firemaw etc etc so putting them all together was just a bit silly imo.
edit: forgot to mention all the boosting thats going on and afk rbgs ….. boring.

I started playing MoP a few months ago, got 3 characters to 90. Cleared normal raids and most heroic and I definitely had fun!
2 major reasons I quit playing are the complete silence from Blizzard after the server merge and most pugs being GDKP or Gbids. They won’t address why EU isn’t having PvP server and raiding isn’t fun when people care more about their logs than mechanics of the raid…
Also I farmed gold and bought my last 2 months of subscription with tokens. Like many others I ran old raids solo, chill stuff to do alone, getting some nice tmog and making decent gold/hour. Now Blizzard is making that option much worse? Seems like they want people to buy gold…. Also the prices of tokens are raising at ridiculous rate. First token was like 23k gold and a month later it was 41k, almost douple price in 1 month is crazy.
Phase 1 was hype. Phase 2 was also hype because I was thrilled to get some wpvp in MoP, but Blizzard ruined the whole thing with server merge. Now I’m doubtful if I even want to come and try ToT when phase 3 is released, honestly probably not.
They also disabled gold from dropping in TBC raids to stop people from farming gold. Imagine that
