I get this reply almost every time I say the systems stack in the current WoW direction is the worse thing to come to the game. Why would I want to play 30% of a game when the other 70% sucks?

I have been happily skipping anything to do with The Maw, only to find out today from the lead game designer that:
“People who have been hitting the Maw hard are much farther ahead of the others. Many people are just getting into Perdition Hold now. There is more planned for the Maw. The story is going to take us there in the long run and even more content development.”
Have to say I’m pretty sad now.

What’s bad about it? And if it’s so bad why you still here?
The lore is dumb as can be and doesn’t feel like WoW at all but that’s nothing new for this game at this point. Everything else is great minus a few small issues.
If only we could swap out covenant powers and pick our alignment solely on thematic and cosmetic preferences.

The maw, torghast, covenant inbalance, covenant currency, legendary craft currency, conduits, mission table, time gating, dailies are trash, world quests are uber trash. Dungeons and raids are fine(ish).

If you don’t enjoy the game this much, then maybe find another one. This game is in the best state it’s ever been in, and the systems are working as intended.

Just sounds like there will be story there and you will need some rep thresholds like the war campaign. Not a big deal.
Yeah, gotta say that comment from Ion just seemed to confirm they’re “going hardcore”.
Just his answers overall seemed quite dismissive and cold, at least as Wowhead translated them.
A far cry from the reassuring and inclusive Q&As of old.
Dude. EVERY. SINGLE. THREAD. “Just unsub”.
You’ve gotta be one of the devs, surely.
Or should I report your name for breaking ToS?

Yea I think this might be one of Ion’s alt or something as much as he defends everything about this game. Also like how in another thread he commented we shouldn’t expect the game to be working 3 weeks in but yet he also said everything is working as intended. Which is it?

He said the game is in the best state it’s ever been in. 
He’s either working for Activision or this is his first expansion.

You can report me for whatever you want, GMs will check logs and turn the report back on you for false reporting. Also all I said was that if people are having a bad time, why not take a break and try something else? How is this in anyway toxic or negative?
How is not in the best state, the devs are actively listening more than ever and changed a lot of problems from BfA.
BFA was complete crap so uh, yeah, I would hope so. Know what else sucked? Legion. Yes, I said it. Legion was a far cry from the game we were playing up to that point. I know everybody hated WoD for being incomplete, but what it had in terms of class design was still better than anything that came afterward.
Legion was the beginning of the end of the world… of warcraft.

Loot was too abundant and made gear worthless, that got fixed. Visions was hated, so now we got Thorghast. People didn’t like mandatory chores, so now they’re optional. Even early last week someone complained Kyrians don’t have a way to navigate from Elysian hold and in recent changes they added a flight path. They’re doing what they can to fix things, I just think people expect too much 3 weeks in.

What about anima and cosmetics and rep that doesn’t provide any player power feel mandatory? These are all improvements over BfA’s mandatory power systems.
