Blizzard introduce a massive quality of life improvement that we have been waiting for since Classic was launched, only to cave in to rage-baiters, Horde griefers, non-melee players, #NoChange people that don’t even play the game and YouTubers and various streamers who are loud enough instead of looking at those that actually benefited and enjoyed the buff, the melee classes at Alliance on ERA, whose voices were silent because we were too busy playing the game.
First of all, this buff is nothing new to us. It’s already in the game and we already have it by using a 2nd subscription Horde priest, it is a very time consuming and costly process with risk of failure due to griefers on Horde side. Rend buff is absolutely mandatory for tanks and melee classes in all endgame raids which most of ERA is focused around since its a eternal Phase 6 server with world buff Meta. The only thing adding this buff does is making the process of getting it a lot easier so we can play the game instead of sitting in barrens hours after hours waiting to get ganked.
I don’t understand you people who are against this, why do you want us to suffer through that process when we can have it smoother? As Naxx tanks we are doing it for you all so you can have smoother raids. A lot of us have up to 4-5 melee characters all which must be rend buffed. After so many years the game is centered around Phase 6 raiding and seeing this Blizzard did the right thing by adding the buff to Alliance side to make it smoother for all of us. This is was not a game breaking change and did not add something that was not already there, it simple saved countless hours for the melee classes so we can do something productive instead.
You should never have introduced this in the first place if you weren’t sure to keep it. When you posted that the Might of Stormwind was here to stay a lot of people that I know rejoiced and soon after got rid of their multiple Horde priest/mc accounts and now has to get a new 2nd subscription and level up another priest. Instead of helping us, you costed us even more time, money and effort because you didn’t have the stomach to see this through.
I’m not a guy that hangs on forums at all but someone has to speak up that represents the majority of the player base that actually plays the game in its current state. There is only one course of action to be made here, re-instate the buff as you first intended and in the future do polls before doing something like this. You brought this sh*t-show on yourself and we are not going to let this pass.
Blizzard makes you get rend as alliance or you made yourselves? Or you are getting prepared to move to tbc soon?
Try pve server
That is just sad and painful to read. This is what I am talking about. You created problem to yourselves and are unhappy that blizzard removed bug. Alliance is already smoother than horde but your toxic minmax culture drives you to insanity
The PVE server doesn’t have enough horde with rend heads. 90% of the rends on firemaw are bought by alliance on horde alts so they can have it for there main.
you only want it so you can raid log and not have to go around the world and you only call me a greifer because i pvp and have a different opinion to you. since you a alliance i should say you blacklist people who play different to you. go play sod for changes
Blizzard does changes → Uproar from #nochanges crowd
Blizzard undoes changes → Uproar from alliance warriors and polearm wielding druids
I believe, had Blizzard not done the changes in the first place, we would not find ourselves where we are right now, with the community fighting over this.
This leads me to the logical conclussion that #nochanges is the way to go regarding Era.
But I agree that giving candy and taking it away is just bad business. This has left a bitter taste to a lot of people.
After this spue i want nobody to ever say again anything blaming blizzard for classic state. Classic community is its worst enemy. This is just painful to read
Only fail was that they by ‘‘mistake’’ make it happen. If anything they should fix it by preventing alliance get rend and not option for any equivalent for it. And stop this mad PVE parse dictationship making it like change everything for parse meta religion.
i would differ and blame the dedicated ganking to being the main source of toxicity in classic era.
Nothing toxic about wanting a better parse in a raid.
