im sorry, but its impossible to discuss things with someone like you. and as i read more of your post i believe i have seen you post in the past basically always on blizz’s side however mindless the defense used.
i will answer just one point which you just dismiss out of hand.
how is this needless spin? the basic azerite system and its hotfixes (essences & corruption) already existed in a far BETTER system in legion aka artifacts. but even then, they had been tried and test with feedback on negative effects of switching specs or alts, and the endless grind of AP.
for blizz to basically take the same system, water it down and not fix the known issues on launch is just blind shortsightedness.
blizz has done many great things in the past, and again, i never criticize the art or music team. even the raids are usually top notch, BoD for example being a contender for best raid ever.
but some of the decision makers are doing things for whatever reason, and the effect is unhappy players and disdain thrown on the staff of blizzard where thats not where its meant to be aimed. ie. i would wager that people who complain about blizzard and WoW NEVER are complaining about the art or music teams, but they get lumped in with the complaints.
but stick with your stances. a closed mind (at least in regards to WoW, i dont know you outside the game) usually stays closed.
