There is tons of stuff to do and enjoy during prepatch, people incluiding me wants to lvl up alters, play pvp, try new skill tree, get rank 14 gear, lvl up our draenei/blood elf and enjoy the game in general. Cutting two weeks from the prepatch when people were asking for MORE time is just unreasonable, even the time its getting cut. People are occupied by exams and work in prepatch dates and want to finish those before launch. Give us at least 2 more weeks if not more.
It will even conflict with Ashes of Creation alpha launch, which creates unreasonable competition. 1st of June its just a bad time for launching, give more time to create hype on the community, sell it as well as u sold classic, not like this. Just go to Google Trends and look how many people is searching for TBC, its sad.
Give more time for yourself to fix bugs, balance stuff and maybe even add something unique, there are tons of stuff with potential like for example the interraction with the Corrupted Ashbringer at SM Cath, idk.
Give time for the people to get hooked on TBC, to lvl up a character in their own way, to enjoy pvp and the new Honor System with LvL 60 PvP Sets.
Give us a good prepatch, give us a good launch.
Dont come posting hatred or pessimist comments, if u dont agree with what I say do as all you guys say about Microtransactions on an already paid membership game: Keep up with it, you are not gonna use it anyways, it doesnt affect you.
Edit: And dont come saying: “JokerD lvled up in only 4 playtime” Not everybody wants to lvl up like him, some people like to lvl up characters and dont just rush with the most optimal playstyle or paying boosts. Some people want to enjoy the world they are paying to be in, to play the game.
If u dont bellieve me about the hype thing, check Google Trends for yourself:

2 weeks is long enough. takes 8 days time played to get to 60 and thats not rushing and getting all professions to 300 as well. 2 weeks is long enough, if you cant do it in 2 weeks maybe you shouldnt be playing
OP, your mistake was having a life. Consider changing this and you may be worthy of playing the game. Otherwise, just unsub and leave the rest of us alone.
For once, I agree with a post here. It really should be significantly longer. A single extra week is… pretty weak. It should be at least as long as the original.
Also Sharky you’re a moron. Most people have, ya know, lives. 8 days time played is A LOT MORE playtime than most regular folks have available to them in 2 weeks. Like, immensely more.
Takes 8 days played to get to 60? Ok that’s 192 hours. So in the two weeks of the pre-patch you only need to play like 14 hours a day. Seriously…if you can’t pull that off you shouldn’t be playing.
They aren’t going to change it. And just because you disagree with me does not mean we cannot have a conversation. I assume you deleted your last post.
Blizzard wants to sell more boosts. They can do that with a 2 week prepatch.
As far as belf and draenei they said “a chance to level up”. They never said how long or to what level you would get to.
It works out because people will spread out more and less people will be crowding hellfire peninsula.
I’d rather tbc come out on may 18th. We didn’t have belfs and draenei in prepatch in 07. We’re lucky to be getting them early this time.
We all shouldn’t have to wait for tbc because you have a slower play style.
Nah didnt delete it It got deleted when I was about to answer. We talked about this already, we aint lucky at all. Its just a waste of opportunity, thats it. Thats what the whole game its. Thats the thing: The game shouldnt addapt to players, the players should addapt to it, the game addapting to players is the reason Retail is crap rn.
They should have done it the original way, but well it seems like they just want to burn the game with tons of microtransactions till it dies.
And its not everybody waiting for tbc because I have a slower play style, its blizzard going faster because they are some people who just wants to speedrun the game and expect the game to be made for them. The real thing is that everybody that got to lvl 60 and have some gold or a guild is gonna get boosted to 60, so only new players who doesnt have the gold nor want to buy the boost are gonna get behind, so in reality what it really does is excluding new players. Im already 24 and gonna get to 60 with at least 1 more character before TBC, so it isnt rlly that bad for me, I just have the ability to think in someone else thats not myself and see if they are ok, I think that this game in difference with Retail its a community game, and I care about the community and that it shall live, and this changes only go against new players who want to enjoy the game and discovered it for themselves as some of us did years before.
We are not asking for the game to addapt to us, we are asking for the game to be as its supposed to be and not to addapt to speedrun players with Boosts, Real money mounts and shorter prepatchs so u guys who just rush the content dont get bored.
We are asking for the original experience, nothing more nothing less.
