I don’t play PvP, so I have no idea really, but for PvP it seems to me that finesse conduits are way more important than potency ones, so it’ll be still a different build.
basically everything you have said makes sense and explains a lot of the problems in game. unfortunately however, many people seem to want to ignore these truths. theres some deep reasons for the problems in wow, and a lot of them seem connected to the direction the game is going, and yet again, ion’s name crops up.
having played classic a little bit (the first month of release, and then again since may) and i have enjoyed a few things about classic. mainly i was most excited for it for 2 (3) reasons):
seeing certain zones and landmarks again before they were changed in cata or earlier (like the dark portal)
seeing what vanilla was like because i started in TBC, thats why im not massivly excited about TBC classic, and not interested at all in WotLK classic, because i was raiding back then so i recall those times.
just nice to raid again without the hassle that seems to come in newer raids now. this is just a personal pre. i only raided from ulduar - ICC.
but you know the biggest reason why blizzard were wrong, and always will be wrong, about us wanting classic?
because we want retail to be as enjoyable as classic was.
we all know classic/vanilla had many issues and lacked lots of QoL, but these bugs were fixed and QoL brought in over the expansions. however the heart of the game is not what it was, and THAT is why we wanted classic and why blizzard were wrong, and still are wrong.
there is a massive disconnect between the players and the people making the decisions on the direction of the game, eg. ion.
You are clueless. Please educate yourself on the matter before commenting. There have been PvP vendors for the majority of WoW’s life and just as of recent (2 xpacs ago) big head Ion decided to remove it since it is “too difficult to find for new players” (while simultaneously introducing the corruption/azerite/pve vendors). So all players want back is a vendor that functions like he functioned before Ion was made the main dev.
And you are getting it back for SL. YET people are still not happy?
So I will ask again. Give the stat back and will that calm them down?
Or suddenly a third demand will pop up?
Imagine someone has, at the same time, brain cancer, kidney tumor and covid 19. He somehow gets cured of brain cancer, but then, when he wants the other two things to improve, the doctor says:
The same can be said about WoW PvP. I stand behind every person on these forums that makes PvP related demands, since it has gone to hell and the joke is no longer funny. Ion needs to get fired.
Its a video game. Not a health issue.
There are also stuff which I disliked or hated in the PvE field. But just bit the bullet and carried on. You can’t get everything…sadly, this is also true in real life.
If the cancer is not curable and terminal. And brain cancers are not usually the ones that are easily treatable sadly… Should he say “Dont ya worry. I will fix this!”. Doctors are not Gods and cant save absolutely everyone every time.
Since you were so keen on that cancer example…
Oh. I am sorry your highness. I didn’t knew I had to get a written permission from you to post on a Blizzard forum.
Also this was posted in the general section. So everyone can read it and comment it. Even pet battlers if they want to… …your majesty?
I can’t speak for others. Personally, I was cautiously optimistic from the moment I heard they were bringing back vendors. You ought to know it’s not just a matter of getting vendors back. There’s more to it than that. Are people really in the wrong for assuming Blizzard would be inclined to know this much? I don’t think so myself.
