And absolutely nothing about how poorly it was received. âNope this experiment was totally successful and exciting and wonderful!â sweeps 75% of comments under the carpet yes itâs an arbitrary number donât @ me

It wasnât the chief reason, but at least for me, I think with the way they built up expectations over the course of months, many of us came to expect an actual WoW content patch. Not just any content patch, but something never-seen-before, something daring and big, something a lot of players had been asking and wishing for.
What we got instead was a very basic Battle Royale game outside of the actual game we play and whose major appeal were the numerous Retail rewards aimed at collectors, most of whom arenât into PvP at all. Iâd not have enjoyed Plunderstorm even if they had promoted it as an upcoming, time-limited PvP event, but the way they marketed it amplified my disappointment.
One could argue that everyone is responsible for their own expectations, but I feel that if marketing is deliberately ambiguous, if not downright misleading, the responsibility lies with people or companies running the campaign.

This was my point. The secrecy was not the issue. The issue was what they insinuated we were going to get (Content patch for WoW) and actually delivered what should have been a stand alone game, totally unconnected to wow in terms of rewards and calling it a content patch.
That was what did them in.

If the hint is that they have something up their sleeve, then i think since magicians have tricks up their sleeves that we will get mages next patch.
lol Fire Mage buffâs eh ?

I cannot believe that is anything but an April Foolâs or just wrong. I will eat my hat. I will question wtf they are smoking.
Just keep whatever it is in the game. And test it.
Please, please - PLEASE! â Do NOT make it RNG, do NOT make it FOMO, and do NOT make it stressy!! 
Just something fun and relaxing, pleaseâŚ

Imagine if they are going to do a sort of âStory Missionsâ while the Overwatch Team was unable to do so
Doesnât Plunderstorm, when you think about it, really sound like one of those april jokes they do each year? Itâs usually some ludicrous mode or class no? Only this time they made the joke materialize. So anything seems likely now imo.

Yep.
They really should trial these things via April Fools to see how people would react. Remember when they tauted Dark Rangers and everyone went âBUT I ACTUALLY WANT THIS T_Tâ

truth be told i would want them to focus their whole energies on next expansion instead of distracting themselves with limited time experiments .

I think many of us feel this way, but I feel this is also the root of the unsatisfactory situation where we get little to no new content in the 8+ months leading up to a new expansion.
Blizzard isnât an indie studio. There are 700+ people on the WoW team and they have enough money to hire more. It is a live service game where we pay a monthly fee and another 50-90 euros every two years for expansions. Plus all the money people spend on the cosmetics store, services, and the WoW token.
Is it an unrealistic expectation to want new and interesting content throughout the entire life span of an expansion and not only in the first two thirds? This can be planned ahead of time and worked on, just like all the other content for each expansion. I feel we just settled for these content droughts and accept them as inevitable even though they are not.

Pandaren also started as an April Fools joke.
How about you stop hinting & give us the answers straight off the bat this time?
The plunderstorms reveal didnât go well & that blunder kinda cost you all of your surprise points.

Sincerely, I am interested and excited by WoW experiments. I want to see more 
But any chance you could not do them in the run up to a Fated season? Because it really does feel like the 4th raid tier died on the cross of experiments and that is a bitter pill to send clunking and grinding its way down when weâve just had it shown that WoW subs are remarkably high. Youâre earning close to 100 million bucks per month. You can afford both a 4th raid tier and an experimental team 
Also, 60 WoW creators and you didnât include T&E, this makes me sad.
Again, no wish to crush experimentation, but please donât let experimentation crush the dream of 4x real seasons per expansion. Fated was lame in SL but better than more 9.2. Planned, scheduled Fated in 10.2 is⌠an insult.
