The issue is seems to be plenty of people more then willing for blizz to take a dump in their mouthā¦

Why do we have to suffer a bad game
You assume many bought the cosmetics, the reality is there arenāt. The season can be played for free, there is no convincing reason to purchase cosmetics.
If no one buy cosmetics and battlepass, Blizzard can just put the game into maintenance mode and reassign the dev to other projects. Alternatively, like many other game studio, they just fire the devs and downsize the studio.
Nobody buys cosmetics on this game I can assure you that it doesnāt have the player base enough for that to be the major issue. The issue is that Blizzard is wasting time trying to sell cosmetics in a genre and game where it just simply will not work.
In America, if I kill you in a PVP game and then feel the need to tactically crouch by where your head landedā¦that is called a teabag.

The popular free to play games offer mods that allow the same thing? Iām calling this a straw man argumentā¦.
Never purchased any cosmetics. I donāt care about the crummy Twitch drops and this is the first season I didnāt purchase Battlepass.
OP specifically states if you want things to change stop buying cosmetics. You have to read more than the first sentence of the post.
OP points out there is nothing new and major issues with the game are being ignored so why should anyone make purchases and support it. Many do not disagree.
OP also misses a point and fact. The consumer pool is global. There will almost always be enough that make purchases to support whatever devs are doing. The opinion is narrowly focused as different cultures do not view this in the same way.
OP sounds like another satisfied customer.
We donāt know for sure that the changes to NMDs will be minor. I suspect they easily could be since theyāve done a āminorā job at everything else, but weāll see. We should know inside a month since PTR should be in a few weeks. As for Hordes, Iād like to see them get a serious re-work, but Iām actually expecting that one to be piddly.
The cosmetic pricing is flabbergasting but I honestly think that if they added a set to the game as a rare drop every time they threw a new one in the shop, or if they allowed people actually grind platinum at a significant rate for the people who like to play like mad to unlock stuff themselves or avoid an exorbitant fee, they could probably get away with it forever.
The problem is that they donāt do that and never have, despite saying before the game ever launched that they would make sure the in-game cosmetics were as cool as the shop cosmetics at minimum. We now have or have had roughly 50 armor sets for each class in the shop, and only about ~30? in the game itself. That doesnāt even touch on weapons, trophies, town portals, emotes, etc.
Shop items work best (for a gaming community) when theyāre generally earnable in the actual game, but purchasable for the weekend warriors and ālazyā players that just want to see lots of shiny crap in their transmog menu despite a minimal commitment to a game.
Blizz is just driving a larger and larger wedge between themselves and their customers as they neglect the vast majority to make a buck off the whales. They think the gravy train will never end, but it seems likely that theyāll find a way to kill D4 eventually at this rate.

I honestly feel there is a reason why we have not seen new content. Iām sure you guys will correct me if Iām wrong but without a developer to focus on the vision of the game there is no direction. To me, it would make sense that they just continue patching etc. on 4 and set their sites on D5. I donāt know a LOT about programming but I know this much; itās not easy to change code or add on to code once itās writtenā¦not that it canāt be done but itās time consuming and leaves a lot of places for mistakes. I for 1 would be all for them concentrating on D5 and hopefully they will knock it out of the park. And with regard to the cosmetics? If I gotta do boring grinding all day every dayā¦I might as well look good.
Ubisoft deserves all the hate & vitriol thrown at them. It was Ubisoft that coined the phrase, āYou will own nothing & be happyā after allā¦

Interessting. Why?

Being realistic thereās unlikely to be enough of the player base engaged on any of the discussion platforms to land a serious impact on the outcome even if you got them all aligned somehow.
Players will make their own choices.
Itās Blizz job to work their way through it and build a product people want, or not.
Imo suffocating players complying with the Eula with stuff all boss keys and leaving duping and rmt to run rampant leaves a foul taste in players mouths that wonāt be forgotten.

Iām talking (more or less) those who say they āUnistalledā the game or said themselves they are ādoneā with blizzard etc etc. You and I both seen those threads every now and then. If people want to continue to be disappointed after this many seasons at this point in time Iād consider itās the player and not the company. I mean after all, a person can always look at videos or read to see if whatās changed is what they would want. shrugs Totally up to them, hope they NEVER get their Hopes up.
But Like I said, I like the direction the game is going. (seems you have people who like and people who donāt like) this direction, IMO.
points up
Better give up on that.
He sounds Satisfied?
Mmmm, Well I hope he is. I hope he enjoys the game (or doesnāt).
I canāt speak for anybody, but I LIKE TO THINK that people who Donāt like the game (D 4) and itās direction isnāt gonna buy Cosmetics anyway. Why would they?
Thatās like Purposely buying/eating at a fast food place they Hate, when they have other options.
Yes, whats your Points? I canāt stop people from posting, just like I canāt tell people what to do.

Nope, let them enjoy what they buy. Doesnāt hurt anybody or anything.

I Blame FPS games (terrible, terrible behaviorā¦)
So your from another country with a different meaning/term of the word Tea Bag, - Fair enough, my apologies, I didnāt know.

OH, am I done?
darn, I think I missed something.
Donāt tell me how to live buddy.
If they remove class-restriction on cosmetics, they will make lots of money.
I never bought any skin or season pass.
Once PoE2 and LE smoothen their wrinkles out, D4 is donezoā¦
