This is the part I care about the most.
I never want to see something like corruption again.

I like corruption maybe itâs just an issue to raiders and stuff.
Corruption system is garbage. Ion and rest of âthe teamâ is plain ignorant. Itâs just like Azerite trait system with some fancy new effects. Just trash.

I agree, it was a nice watch. He touches upon many things, I especially liked when they talked about the cinematic.
I like Corruption and the risk vs. reward it gives.
Could do with some more variety however.
I would love to have a blend of different systems to make something like this more rewarding:
First off, there are roughly 3 or 4 things, 1 is the style and the other 2 are the blends;
The 2 blends I would like to see is to have reforging make a come back with valor points as the currency, with the style of having a game play equip , like we see with corruption and / or legion legendaries.
Possibly include set bonus equipment from any tier for wearing a set from a raid but on any chosen gear, but much like the corruption system, have a trade off, like, you can upgrade or infuse your gear with power BUT it will mean that with great power, you will pay a price, of course it will be themed.
So you can pick and choose, but with a currency of valor instead of gold or coalescence or momentoâs (which is absurd to farm them), having a more global currency enables us to go into all different types of content and be able to pick and choose what we want to have, with the risk being greater the more power we want.
I think that provides more player agency and more organic interactions vs the ever present rng, this also is a lot friendlier to alts than having a lucky drop on a toon you may or may not want the item on, specially in BFA where essences arenât account bound, thus the frustration of getting a really good effect being negligible, especially if you arenât thinking of maining an alt.
Thank goodness, very happy to hear this 
I want to be able to gear my alts without trashing gear. Corruption might be interesting for mains (I donât like it personally), but it shouldnât be mandatory. Like legendaries in Legion and the Vindicaar forge I forget the name of, you never had to do any of that on alts unless you choose to and that was good.

Nope. I donât raid.
Itâs a bad, bad, bad system.
You lost me there. It sounded good up to this part.
No trade offs. No âpunishmentâ for rewards. Itâs such a ridiculous notion that I donât understand how anyone can want that!
âHey thanks for doing that job for me. Hereâs some money!â
âYay.â
âThat money is going to make you throw up violently every 5 mins.â
âWait⌠wha⌠BLRRGGGHHHHâ
⌠Ridiculous.
They always do. No matter how awful the system as, as long as the system is in place, theyâll say itâs perfect, well designed or similar. Only when thereâs literal announcements of them replacing systems is when theyâll admit that a system wasnât well designed, see titanforging.
Itâs neither a good nor a bad thing either, itâs just them being afraid to admit theyâve made mistakes.

Wonder if they have the physics for flails in the game right now tbh. Not that it canât be implemented but if it worked it would help
Does any weapon has some physics like some of the gear 3D elements ?
I like risk reward.
I despise generic RNG damage procs that players have no influence over.
I despise the horrendous layered RNG and the complete disconnect between power and item level.
I despise the design of universal downsides for an item system, especially if it is hypothetically going to be used as a justification for how simple rotations are in Modern WoW.
To me it just feels like affixes. âYou wanted classes to feel more complex and rewarding. Here you can have free damage if you deal with X extra mechanicâ
With any regular person it would be seen as a bad thing that they wonât admit their faults or mistakes. So why should this be any different? 
Because theyâre employees with their job on the line. I reckon if they admitted to Overlord Ion that theyâve made a bad design decision, heâd gouge out their eyes.
I jest, of course.
Anyway, itâs obviously a negative thing personality trait wise, but itâs just part of what Blizzard is nowadays, itâs just part of their existance, without it, it wouldnât be Blizzard, so I guess I just find it normal for them, because bad âpersonality traitsâ are whatâs expected, while anything positive regarding communication or similar is seen as highly unusual?
I donât know how much freedom someone like ion has over matters that could reflect poorly on the Blizzard stock. His words are Blizzard official stance on anything related to WoW and while it would be better imo of they were honest (canât really believe him when he say that they are satisfied with Nzoth⌠While there are maybe some aspects they are satisfied of, the overall feeling canât be âsatisfactionâ), I wonder if heâs even allowed to say it.
Iâm not suggesting he should outright say âwe screwed up. Itâs crapâ, but to just stubbornly keep saying âweâre happy with itâ just comes across as insincere nonsense. A more nuanced answer thatâs closer to the truth would, I think, be much more appreciated by the public and actually raise Blizzardâs stock (to the public eye anyway).
Being honest usually is appreciated (of course there are exceptions and extreme examples of the opposite, but I donât think those apply here).
Warrior protection mage tower appearance
Paladin protection mage tower apperance
Many bfa weapons along with some from WoD. Even some clothes have em
Corruption makes gear more interesting.
Oh dear I remember wanting to grind those appearances, but Prot Pala/War was one of most difficult challenges of the whole Mage Tower. Only the very few have it these days 
So far I only saw 3 or 4 people having itâŚ

In what way ?
While the balancing of corruption is abit (very much at times xD) off, they seem to be getting this right with every further iteration.
The aquisition and what the system currently does is a pain (imho).
The stuff drops way to randomly and when something really good drops you donât want to equip it because it will skyrocket your corruption.
For example I got 2 really good rings (with good corruption) from my weekly chests so I am one of the few lucky ones⌠however I cannot use either bcause I donât wish (my decission ofc) to deal with the effects BUT I donât want to cleanse the corruption because next hotfix those traits might be what makes my dpsâŚ
Imho they should simply make everything that drops corrupted or make it a very high chance, also maybe get rid of the ranks, to me that would make it all brilliant.
