I just read the 20th anniversary update patch notes and dear Thralls Balls was the expansion ever rushed out the door to collect cash for that quarterly report.
Everything in the patch notes should have been their on expansion launch. Expansion should have been delayed.
Instead we have to put up with the crap Blizzard executives throw at us.
I ran the Dawnbreaker dungeon this afternoon and the yellow balls that you Pac-Man while chasing the demon bug, so you don’t die to “The Darkness”, just didn’t show up. I followed the bugs path and not one ball showed up. Of course I died to the darkness auto insta kill and just dropped the dungeon group on the spot. I have to avoid that dungeon like a plague because the product wasn’t ready and still isn’t.
WoW Classic just looks better and better if I’m going to play WoW. Otherwise Diablo IV looks great right now. An actually competant team it seems. Amazing that both game dev teams are from the same company.

Every company that makes software has a “launch list” and a “post launch list”. Allows them to focus on priorities. The fact that people do not know or understand this makes me question where they work and how old they are.

Hindsight is 20/20. Always is, always has been.
You could have the entire population of Earth bug test your beta and you’d still need a day 1 patch.

I think the fact they are selling a auction/mail mount for ‘90g’ in US… says a lot! Just my opinion.?
Yeah there is a market for it and more than enough people to make millions and millions of dollars off it. You do not have to be a CEO to understand how this works in business.

I get it … it’s like a ‘crypto’ currency in itself! Or what they call an ‘NTF’ or?.. wow. but offline it’s nothing?
Some of y’all keep making excuses for them cutting corners and you’re going to end up with half a pie.
The precedence started in DF. It’s only gotten worse. Some bugs is understandable. This is bordering broken.

Yeah, it says they realize making the original mount so prohibibitive, meant only a handful would want it, and by not making it a store mount the first time, BfA missed out on millions in mount and token sales which could have prevented Microsoft from ever stepping in and Activision from stepping out. So at the end of the day, their experiment worked and now that MS will see a TINY return on their $74billion investment, maybe they can give Blizz some of their own success and figure out how to keep the game popular for more casuals like myself and make Midnight twice the success of TWW.
