1 meaningfull choice is better than 0. You are not making choices by swaping into bis covenant. You just followe websit guid. Its not choice.
1 choice is worse than having multiple choices.
You’re arguing simple numbers here. 1<4

As a raider, I don’t want Blizzard in my way.
So ffs, remove covenants in raids, M+ and PvP, please.

That’s your wrong assumption.
I swap to whatever i want based on what i want to do and how i want to do it.
Stop with the assumption that everyone follows a meta to a T.

Yes i do?
What’s the meta for ret paladins in Ny’alotha in regards to talents or main essence?
What’s the meta for M+?
Why don’t you tell me the meta for doing your dailies, mister.
Or the meta for PVP?
Show me how i’m following that meta.

0 “meaningful” choice would be better if it would mean we don’t have to choose where we want to be good and where we want to underperform in case we want to do all the content, which is heavily suggested to do if someone wants the character to be optimal.
If you can’t understand that players don’t want to underperform in 3 type of contents out of 4 then you really don’t put a lot of thought into this matter.

People what want perform best in all situaions are entiteld and simply play wrong type of game. RPGs are not about solving math and play with best build and compete againts other player on even playingfield. Such games are nowdays mostly called mobas.
People who play RPG’s are playing RPG’s how they want to play RPG’s.
You trying to limit how they play just shows what type of regime you like.

Yet it seems people who plays wow (MMORPG) pernametlys asks to play moba with warcraft theme.
You have to perform well in order to beat someone in pvp, to kill raid bosses, to do m+ runs in time. So in your mind people who want success, play this game the wrong way? There is no logic in what you are saying,

Totally not true. We try out ourselves and have fun. I played 80% of legion in raids with echo of the elements on resto shaman because i like that playstyle way more than cloudburst. And i had decent results. You play better with your prefered playstyle. There are definitely more options available.
I am also still playing Beacon of VIrtue in some dungeons, no matter what people say.

Yes you have to perform well but you dont have to perform optimal.
Really? You didn’t show me how everyone follows a meta.
And let me ask you this specifically.
Having only 1 choice to make, how will this stop the people who are actually playing the meta straight, to not play the meta covenant for them?
You know the answer that this does nothing, absolutely nothing for them.
It just ruins it for the others who don’t follow a meta and want to play the game in multiple ways, who like to have multiple choices and not be limited.

it would be fine if the consquences didnt have such a negative impact on gameplay.
i think its more of what an RPG is, but considering the MMO aspect of the game and how a stupid decision can have such a negative impact on other peoples gameplay i think that locking people into an ill informed or incorrect decision on what is more powerful is a problem, there are people in my raid team for example that care about being powerful but dont want any spoilers what so ever, so they are unwiling to research anything and will make a choice for themselves, this means they will potentially make the wrong choice even for themselves who would want the more powerful one and that then means that there is a good chance the raid team will be negatively impacted by such a restrictive system.
how could you possible know that the majority want it a specific way, and maybe if they are being so quiet about it, they dont really care either way.

Becouse cost of swaping covenant is too high to be effective swap around? Are you really going to spent weeks of grinding just to swap covenant for 2. boss in raid?
Call me crazy but instead of all those “Systems” that they are trying to implement to fix the game, why not just work on the classes instead?
I HATE the idea of the Corruption system now because i dont feel like my class actualy contributes to my DPS, "lets just get this tank (rly doesent matter which one) with some twilight devastation and ur gonna do a lot of dmg.
Stop making systems… Loot = Gear = Stat Upgrade = more DPS/HPS/Survivability
What i dont like for years:
-Random Secondary stats on gear
-Systems with Procs/Dots/Hots (Azerite, Conduits / Soulbinds)
I want to know what my best in slot is according to the gear what i own and then i can calculate my secondary stats to see which stat i can improve and where that specific item drops.
This is what mostly people want:
Craftable BoE´s which can be sold need to happen otherwise the professions will still be useless. (And that the mats are not timegated)
Enchanting for every piece of gear.
Multiple Gem-Slots on epic gear (Fixed ammount of gem-slots, not a random “Upgrade”)
