You proved his claim wrong by citing an event happening on a TOS breaking private server and not PVP related to the game format that we’re all currently discussing?
If aggrend was referencing and acknowledging this discord, which i doubt, then why would a premade v premade Q suggestion be shut down by him on the reasoning that the premade v premade crowd like you would get butt hurt? Wouldnt that contradict his assertion that it would upset the premade v premade crowd?
Oh, you mean when we figured out how to counter the Discord premade groups that shouldn’t have been happening and started destroying Alliance that were cheating the system so they could gain and unfair advantage?
Oh you care. It’s why you replied. You’ve tied your entire identity to this game.
SoD is in my opinion one of the most promising things blizz has done in years, but a dev “owning” paying customers is definitely not the win you seem to think it is. If we leave, you go back to your sad private servers.
I won’t quit because of the premade issue. I just won’t queue and will continue having lots of fun with friends in other parts of the game. But if I do quit SoD early it will be 100% due to Aggend’s condescension.
I very rarely used vent in classic and vanilla. Now everything revolves around it, in the form of discord. It’s a problem. Maybe not for you but I know people are self-centered. Mandating this as the mode of play is just not good design
Why not just have premades face other premades. I don’t know what’s with all this other nonsense to confuse the issue. It’s very simple. They made twinks only face twinks. What’s the problem?
youre STILL wrong on this. premade vs premade would die because it offers less honor and rep per hour than pug vs pug would. AND it would split the player base AGAIN. if mythic plus in retail (which is considered to be one of the most fun things to do atm) didnt reward any gear, then you would see a dramatic dip in player engagement.
Aggrend isn’t logical. Aggrend isn’t truthful. Aggrend is a streamer simp. The only people Aggrend cares to listen to are the streamers that stroke his ego. Streamers want gold buying. Streamers want bots. Streamers want GDKPs. Streamers want pug stomping premades. The biggest streamers for SoD are Alliance.
It’s really easy to spot the trend and ACTUAL reasoning behind Aggrend’s decisions. Most of the current Blizz devs are subpar or mid level talent in their respective fields who have no actual pride in the things they make. To them it’s all about pleasing streamers and corporate shareholders. All the devs with actual talent and pride in their work left Blizz a long time ago and corporate drives any potential competent replacements away.
In the end, it’s fine…I mean whatever. I’ll just run around aimlessly and get a mark with everyone else. Muting the spergs along the way. IDC. Will just pay more attention to YouTube or whatever else I’m doing while grinding rep and honor. I’ll get exalted in a few weeks. No big deal.
It’s just an embarrassing meta for a game developer to stand behind and facilitate. Was hoping they would improve it a little bit.
Was looking forward to AB, but unlike vanilla and classic, it will just be completely overrun in premades. AV will continue to be the only viable BG lol.
