Based on how much controversy it sparked and how many people I see daily going on about this, and even on the beta, it’s basicaly a meme of how bad it’s become. It’s getting better, but still a long way to go. It’s definitelly not the extreme minority a lot of people here like to claim. Throwing around “no u” won’t help much.
The issue is that this is a grey area. Its not the PvP scene where almost everyone has the same opinion that its broken and and needs fixing.
If Blizzard would open this discussion and filter it it out.
We would get roughly 2 main parties:
Those who favor the current status quo and those who don’t.
So then…who is right and who is wrong? Which side should Blizzard listen to? The one which screams the loudest?

I agree, remove LFR and make quest require you to complete CE.
Never underestimate the ability of Ferals to succeed in insane adversity.
We shall see…
Separate realms.
Role-playing realms can get the role playing meaningful choices. 
Make them permanent to boot… also no spec switching allowed as well!
I have seen ferals fail messarably this whole expansion.
And I just saw one reach 3k CR in arena and several others kill N’Zoth Mythic and … this guy: https://raider.io/characters/eu/hyjal/Maystine#season=season-bfa-4

Its risky to create a precedent. Then will people ask to have pvp realms with enabled flying and disabled flying. Realms where the gold token doesn’t exist. Realms where LFG/LFR tool is disabled and etc etc.
Everyone has their own idea of the “perfect realm”.
I’m not claiming extreme minority, BUT…
The FACTS are:
This is largely influenced by coverage. Coverage is done mainly by websites, streamers and YTers. Those things are mostly aimed at the more hardcore part of the playerbase, because your average ‘casual Joe’ isn’t going around checking all those things.
So, coverage is biased. It really is. Because they’re catering to their audience (which is logical). But the downside is, is that gives a skewed view of general opinion.
You WILL hear more from hardcore people, because they ARE more vocal.
But they are NOT the majority. They’re just not.
Those are the facts.
Im not checking i dont care, however you can answer me this are tehy using the correct builds ?
I can get behind this whole conduits are timegated (would have done this with spending currencies farmed with covenant activities but you can’t have it all) but can’t get behing that you can only be affiliated with one covenant at one time. I try, but I really can’t. I get it, roleplay, choices rpg etc. but if you want me to force in a path then disable respecs, make me choose a spec at the start and I stick with it forever.
I play a priest, I want to be a priest. Covenants aren’t even in a war between them why can’t I get renown with all of them?
Why if I affiliate with Kyrian for lore reason, then I lose my mind flay as a shadow priest with a spell that doesn’t even generate insanity but then I got a nice upgrade if I play discipline?
I don’t care about being optimal for every content out there, hell I won’t be playing an holy priest otherwise and I don’t even change my azerite traits from the raid setup ever and can run 15 right now with no problem.
I just want those class abilities locked behind covenants to be gone or swappable, why should I forget Smite or Mind Flay anyway or how are you teaching me how to cast that mindgames spell and then I forget about it by simply saying “I don’t want to help Venthirs anymore”?
Sounds like Blizz has requests then. Maybe they should look into different options. That way everyone has a realm with most of their preferred way to play the game.
I mean this really comes back to my point. If you love your character, play it all the time, practice, truly connect with it… you will be a better player and you will win the awards.
The only thing that can stop that from happening is if Blizzard messes up balance so bad that it’s impossible. They generally don’t do a lot, but it does happen. Like I’ve said before, if this system is so broken in terms of player power that it’s just impossible to play some covenant-class-spec combos I will retract my support. It needs to be moderately well balanced.
And these guys aren’t using the “correct build” - these are the guys who decide what the “correct build” is in the first place!
Every single one of these meta-slaves and FotM rerollers are slaves to those people. Not the other way around.

Good luck with that pretty much. We can’t agree to covenants. Thats 1 feature. Now imagine the whole player base agreeing for the perfect realm?
I would have at least 3 suggestions which I would want to implant and at least 70 people yelling at me that its the “worst thing ever and it will kill my gaming experience”.
I like my main, i’ll play it… a lot.
But seriously, putting conduits on a week long cooldown?
Is it really that important to prevent me from using the Wake of Ashes conduit when i do M+ instead of the Blade of Justice one that i use for raids? There is only 1 conduit for aoe, only 1.
Is it that horrible that i can change it?
It’s not horrible that i can’t, it just feels like an irritating and a useless limitation.
It effectively makes the conduits for me permanent.
Well that’s on Blizzard to look into what players like.
If they’d make in-game polls regarding several features, they would have better data on good splits of features.

Looks like they all came to the same conclusion. Or i guess going for 2 jungle furries instead of 3 is “much meaningfull” so outside the box thinking.
Nice trolling attempt.
I don’t understand why people act as if the game is unplayable if you’re locked from certain things.
IMO not being able to swap and have everything makes it worth alot more.
Locked? Good, now stay in one character like people used to.
