I think it is the fact that they have had 3 ‘offers’ in such a short time. First the cat mount, then the Black Friday deals and now the 6 month sub deal (and yes I am aware they have always had the 6 month deal). For me it just seems a little desperate to be throwing all this out in a short time span.
I will be interested to see the next quarterly results.
Indeed it does. And tbh, they probably are a bit desperate 
we dont have any numbers but i’m sure the sub numbers are not looking great. Long lasting patches without much content really. If i hadnt been raiding and doing m+, i wouldnt have been subbed still.
Edit: and on top of that all the scandals
Its a pity… by luck the forum still stand!
I’ve never touched Final Fantasy a day in my entire life and it has nothing to do with this post, which is the reason I never mentioned it. You’re now making things up as you go along to create your own narrative.
The armor they just released in the store has more effort put into it then the new tier sets. God forbid if you play a hunter or shaman in this game because the last good sets for either were nearly a decade ago, minus remakes in Tomb of Sargeras. I don’t like the set on the store but anyone that isn’t biased if you held that against the new sets would say which looks like had more time put into it. And yes to answer your question, the flying orbs, the colours and the glow animation and every part of it is 3d. You can play stupid if you really want but you know the truth.
I wouldn’t mind all those things if Blizzard was releasing real content at a reasonable pace. Unfortunately they don’t.
This is like speeding and thinking you got pulled over because you car is too blue.
No it’s like driving the speed limit but other people getting your car pulled over and clamped because they didn’t like your bumper stickers.
Are you really that unaware of what you did in the OP? I mean, just think about it. Stop for a second, read your post, give a little bit of thought, and maybe you’ll figure it out. I’ll give you a hint: it’s not the first time you did it.
Upset the credit card Andy’s?
I was not even talking to you or about you there, chill.
I have just watched a video this morning about this exact and that was the sentiment I saw in the comments.
I just think we need to differentiate between personal taste and the actual work put in the sets.
The only thing imo, worth soemthing in that set is those particles, the base trasmog looks quite bland if you ask me, I don’t think it’s refined or anything.
Particles do not equate effort. 9.0 plate is poor quality for you? I made a shaman just to get Maldraxxus Mail set.
Imo a lot of you focus on the flashy and don’t look at the set as a whole, which is Imo quite bland, like it’s nothing really worth the money.
A lot of new sets are 3d btw not just this one. And what the glow is “the effort”? It’s cool sure but it’s attached a crap bland set.
Some shiny effect does not make something “more effort” but that’s just me.
I am not plating stupid I genuinely don’t see the quality in that set.
Not quite. Hint #2, it’s at the end of your post and might be breaking the ToS.
I agree to some extent. I don’t think the set in the store is to my taste, but it is crafted with more detail and attention than any of the new tier they announced only about a week ago which feels like a bit cheeky to be honest.
Anyway lets agree to disagree I’m only giving my opinion which is that this all feels very on the nose for my liking.
I don’t like the shop as a whole, and obviously the store mounts/gear need effort to even justify a tag price in the first place.
My point is to simply point out that there are mountains of really refined gear and mounts even in the game, and not every set needs to be the flashiest full of particles type of things.
One is free to dislike 9.2 sets but i don’t think the effort they put into those is as low as people think. A simple look does not have to equate “poor effort”.
i remember quite a lot of discussion in WoD already because some people were saying sets were “too flashy and full of complicated and moving parts” others that instead were saying “this is boring, this is too simplistic, omg this new sets are trash”.
Like i have seen this tier sets discussions since forever, and people will always judge good work based on personal tastes and not actually well made sets.
For the shop part i do agree tho, i think if they wanna increase the shop they should start thinking about dropping the sub method tho.
You seem a little obsessed with Jito and myself. As flattering as that my be, it would be better to dial it back a bit with the personal attacks.
Everyone here gives their own opinion. You clearly know nothing of mine or you wouldn’t make such silly statements.
That’s odd considering it’s both of you that comment on every post I make literally going against every take I have. I never personally attacked you, I just said like clockwork you will both show up defending the shady business practices and you didn’t fail to disappoint.
I would be much happier if I didn’t get notifications about replies from yourself but apparently everyone that has an opinion that doesn’t match yours has to be community flagged and a 70+ reply thread has to be drawn out about the look of the new tier sets.
If the game is so good I’m not sure why you aren’t playing it instead of playing the forum game with over 37,000 posts! I’m pretty sure that you’re happy playing the mediator to keep your green MVP status but you are allowed to dislike portions of the game and express it and you certainly don’t have to shoot me down for coming on and venting.
In future I implore you to look past my posts or refrain from replying to them.
agree with you tbh, shop should absolutely not exist on a subscription game ever.
You have gone out of your way to name me twice making false claims. It’s bizarre.
You should spend a little less time obsessing over what others are doing or what you presume they think and just actually learn to debate.
I only take any time to consider what you are doing when it impacts me for instance only a week ago you chiming in because I said the new tier sets look lazy and had your army of defendants come and mock me. Lets keep it simple then, why don’t you stop commenting on my posts and I’ll stop predicting you’re going to show up to comment on them?
Okay, so if anyone else is wondering who the hell Shamu is, I got you.
Shamu was the name used for several SeaWorld orca killer whale shows and was the stage name given to the “star” of those shows, beginning with the original Shamu in the late 1960s and early 1970s. The orca Shamu died in 1971, but the name Shamu was trademarked by SeaWorld (as well as the names “Namu” and “Ramu”) and has been given to different orcas at different times when performing in Shamu shows.
