( disclaimer : i’m not being a white knight blizzard shill , i don’t support social inequality, and i think they could use more balance for the covenants ).
But don’t get me wrong , i play this game a hell lot, and i’m having such a good time in 9.1
However this doesn’t seem to be the case on the internet , especially when you have influencers complaining about the game no matter what state it’s in, and just making the game look bad in the eyes of new players in such an unfair way
because new players don’t know anything about the game , they just try to watch a streamer and all they do is saying blizz bad for hypocritical reasons just to get more views and clicks,
It’s really not a surprise that all of them are claiming to quit at around the same time because it’s a trend to quit wow nowadays, wow had much worse expansions and now they quit whenever the game is genuinely improving and becoming better
The reasons they to quit the game don’t make sense, and i like how blizzard let vanilla classic be vanilla classic for them to realize that they are players that don’t have any understanding of game design, but saying that systems are bad makes people think that the creator is smart.
they complain about torghast as if he wants to get a legendary with no effort, torghast is really fun, and is easily what makes shadowlands legendaries a much better improvement over legion legendaries, with less of the ugly power creep
Remember when everyone was complaining about conduit energy ? what happened to that ? nobody cares about that , they were just looking for something to create negativity around.
Please remember this is a community that quit the game in cataclysm because blizz remade the old world and redid the quests, dungeons and leveling experience
and you know what? now that they quit, it’s probably better for the game in the long run, i honestly would’ve banned them if i was blizzard, and make no mistake, blizzard actually listens to feedback, i gave feedback about my class and about shadowlands alpha and beta, and a fair bit of what i said , although my individual voice wasn’t so loud , i had other players that share the same opinions as i did and that resulted in changes, many times when creators like dratnos and tettles say something blizzard actually makes a change , like the recent painsmith nerfs due to mythic raiders going goblins for the rocket jump
I like to remind you that all these content creators were saying positive stuff about shadowlands at the start, but what changed now ? nothing , how is the game so terrible now ? i don’t even get it
I don’t want a game where i just sit over in dalaran waiting to do tomorrow’s daily heroic dungeon
Cringe gatekeeper fans will always say that the game is bad for this or that reason, they are looking for reasons and that’s it, they said the old times were better, JaB said no and he was right , classic doesn’t live up to today’s standards
now they are looking for the next negative thing, and trust me there is nothing that hurts this game more than it’s reputation in the internet , i have met countless people that think that it’s bad and never even gave it a shot, there is no system that hurts the game more than streamers who say they played the game for a long time and now they are demoting it instead of promoting it and the company, there’s a reason why blizz hates them, not everyone tho, they like T&E and preach for example
But if you’re there over on twitch or youtube , making 20 minute videos every single day complaining about torghast or about korthia dailies, you’re very obviously doing it for nothing more than the money, and don’t get them wrong, there is no content creator that is the community’s friend or anything even close , they are just using trends and that’s all there is to it, they will always be slaves to whatever gives more views, same as the news
