The bulk of the developmental problems with this game. Pouring all their developmental resources into superfluous overcomplicated systems at the cost of the fundamentals of WoW (class design and content).
Classes and content.

I know EXACTLY how you feel! I swear its 1 step forward and 2 steps back. The worst problem is getting put up against boosting trash. SOOOO annoying!
There you go. You are far smarter than most. 
But, I wouldnāt place the blame on the āhands-onā developers. This reeks of management.

it is wierd, i was just thinking about it and Iām like everyone is crazy i still love this gameā¦ and I do. But thereās things that really also just kind of hit me like a ton of bricks.
I donāt do arenas anymore. I donāt have a reason for why, but I think itās a handful of things. I canāt find a consistent team/partner. Getting better feels like bashing your head into a wall. All I mean is this game can be very complex at a high level and to learn in this fast meta isnāt easy. I could definitely do more to be better, but than Iām not playing the game as much as Iām review videos and such. Lastly people donāt take responsibility. For example, I donāt know how many dps run into a fight when Iām mounting up and die in a few seconds. After the game they just leave or they ask why didnāt I healā¦ Well I just put a shield on you, you thought that was enough to survive in a burst meta.
I enjoy RBGs, but it takes time to form groups, thereās definitely walls at 1400 & 1600 with LFG. Itās once again hard to find a consistent group. And than when you do find a good group you win 2 games play 200 MMR above your rating lose and half the team leaves.
Look at the issues above and tell me where most of the problems areā¦ People. We as people suck and itās even worse behind a keyboard. Thereās things blizz needs to fix, but if the community was better, we 100% could make this game more enjoyable.
All that said, and I am still enjoying the game. I didnāt enjoy WW monk like I thought i would. Iām taking a break from my priest as heās hard stuck at 1600ish range and canāt better his gear. Iām gearing a moonkin as Venth and itās been enjoyable mostly. I canāt wait to get some RBGs in with him.

So likeā¦ did you actually do this? Cuz cr is still impossible to gain right now.
75% of the people getting r1 this season will have afkād the last 4 months.

How dumb do you have to be to think software engineering is easy?
Rating decay for 3k players would have fixed this and they already have the programming code for it.

they 100% are related. I donāt have the stress of Arenas on me when Iām playing, so I enjoy it more. RBGs, BGs, EBGs, and than my guild does a good job of organizing guild pvp events which are a blast. Last week our leader got with a horde group, and we created a search and destroy game. The horde gave us 3 horde targets, and we had take them out. it was a blast.

Where does this exist, there is about 3 of us who need to get off our server.
If your referring to me, and your looking to do horde world pvp events. one of the events we did against the horde was Tol Barad and we faced a horde community. The Streamer is CadiganTV on twitch. The community is Terran Empire. They seem to be super active, and you can watch the Tol Barad fight on his twitch.
If your alliance feel free to look at my guild and apply in game. Itās a large guild with constant Bg groups and RBGs groups going most of the time, and our leader is trying to continue to do guild pvp events once a week.
Root cause is a society that would rather deal with everything but the actual problem because that brings up the issue of accountability, which canāt be a thing in an overtly feminine oriented society because the feminine doesnāt handle responsibility for its actions well.

No hard maths, but it āfeelsā from the games Iāve been playing that mmr has been unnerfed. At 2.7-2.8 if two teams of the same mmr face each other the winner gains at least 90% of the points the loser team loses.

āShadowlands has seen tremendous participation in Arenaā
Just for giggs, whatās the old participation at now? (In 3s specifically)
Also, thereās a certain topic that has been masterfully articulated in this section I donāt know how you missed it.

Just wana bump thisā¦ the change didnāt work mmr is worse now than it was when you posted this.
Itās killed retail pvp. A minor buff to mmr would be all it would take to scare the people sitting into queing which is all we need to re ignite the ladder.
A dead top end ladder negatively impacts all players.
As it stands top players are literally punished for queing their mains so they do one of 3 things.
-They donāt play at all (which a lot of them have done). Doesnāt really negatively impact anyone other than top players. But Iād imagine you want people to play your game???
-They play their alts with other r1 players alts (This is what I do). Which really hurts players attempting to get their first glad. You have competitive long time players queing at 24-27 mmr which is where people getting their first glad should be. I really have no idea how someone is supposed to get their first time glad in this environment.
-They play their alts to boost for gold. Yea this would happen regardless but if they didnāt feel like they had r1 locked up i assure you they would be more focused on that then gold.
Thx for reading.
