Hi,
I’m Ray. I’ve been playing your game since the open beta way back in Vanilla. It was a hell of a time and I fell in love with this game straight off the bat just from an open beta. I quit my old games and I came to this one and I never looked back because I had always felt a pull from the lore of Azeroth and the Warcraft franchise. Playing the game was great, and learning more about things that had only been hinted at in games like Warcraft I, II, and III was like reading a book, and I was a part of the script.
For years I stuck with the game. I watched the rise and fall of races, villain’s, heroes and other such people come and go with the passage of time. I watched the change of the land in Cataclysm, and I watched the change of the Alliance and the Horde in regards to that shift. I stuck through it, knowing that the story was something I was really impressed with and loved.
I started becoming less and less interested in the story about… hmm…Legion? Some of the things you guys added were ok, but a lot of them left me scratching my head. Time travel, alternate realities, the two merging with Azeroth and a huge sword which got stuck in the planet and forgotten about for two expansions. I grew cynical and just kinda shrugged it all away because I was becoming less involved in the game and becoming more casual. The game was losing my focus and I was growing bored with the same hashed out content reused over and over again and storylines that made no sense.
With the coming of Vanilla, Burning Crusade and soon Wrath classic I saw a chance to go back to the lands I grew old with and maybe regain some Nostalgia. It worked! I fell in love again but unfortunately had to deal with your money grabbing schemes in the process. Character boosts, free mounts, other stupid nonsense that were kinda pointless.
NOW you’re dipping into the pinnacle of enjoyment in Wrath of the Lich King. I don’t get it, I just don’t. You’re messing with something that isn’t even bad, broken, or needs fixing. Wrath was fine when it was put out and doesn’t need help making it better. The sad part is, it’s like you yourselves don’t even play your own game. It’s like the people who are doing these things are looking at retail and saying - Wow man we should add this to the Wrath launch and make it better! This isn’t retail man. You did this expansion, it was done, dusted and loved by thousands of people and yet for some reason that I personally can’t understand you have decided to tinker with it.
How hard is it to just release Wrath, how it was, and say to the community “Here you go! Enjoy!”,? Who is telling you that we need all these changes and when did they start (if ever) playing your game? Legion? Do they play Final Fantasy? Do they even have any experience in this game at all? At this point, i’m starting to see why people are leaving and man i’m close to being one of them. I’m sure this will get hammered and probably deleted, do what you will. I just needed to vent.
