brain dead decision

Iā€™ll just say this. At absolute minimum you better be cutting arena gear prices during the off season by 75% this time around or something. S4 going to be the deadest of dead when no one gets any gear this season for their alts.

Going to join all the others here.

Terrible decision. This benefits no one and hurts pretty much everyone. Others have already made plenty of good points as to why that is, so thereā€™s nothing more for me to reiterate.

Youā€™ve had the sense to roll back inane choices in the past. Hopefully this outcry will make you see that pushing this content is rushed and an asinine decision.

Terrible decision. It is truly astonishing how out of touch blizzard has become. I get they need to boost revenue for quarterly reports but to substantially shorten a museum piece version of the game that was brought back as an addition to the primary game is just brain dead.

Go add some $20 loot piƱata to the retail store, Iā€™m sure youā€™ll sell millions, heck Iā€™ll go buy one as well if it means keeping the original TBC timeline. TBC is by far my personal favorite of the classics and P3&4 being the highlight of it, now itā€™s being rushed faster than any other phase for no good reason.

Is it too late for you to redact this moronic decision from the top? Give us 2 extra weeks at least?

confirmed, wrath private servers will have more longevity, stability, and communication than blizzard wrath classic.

They would need to extend this a solid month or two, to appease the situation. Anything less is just a cop out.

If i didnā€™t know this was your honest opinion Iā€™d think this is obvious troll bait.

In a lot of playersā€™ eyes this is the one of the best stages of wow that existed. Previously this stage lasted over a half of a year, and it has been reduced to nearly a quarter. If wow classic is truly a love letter to the fans then Blizzard clearly isnā€™t listening to its player base.

Many players have been drooling and excited over glaives since the idea of TBC classic. Most people who were appointed to receive the glaives havenā€™t gotten even one yet. The patch launched Jan 27th and its ending in early mayā€¦ Thatā€™s like ~15 chances to get glaive to drop. If you do the simple math to see the odds of getting a single glaive in 15 chances (assuming your guild is good enough to kill illidan out the gate) is roughly 50% for to see one glaive. Itā€™s really not fair to all the players that have been wanting to have them. Which is the key part of classic wow is getting to obtain the stuff you never could previously.

Especially as a pvpā€™er it takes weeks to get BIS and farm honor. I am a consistent 2k-2200 player in arena and I havenā€™t even had enough time to get all my pieces of vengeful gear. This would mean that the average (1400-1500 rated) player has gotten 2-3 pieces of their items, and havenā€™t even had a chance to scratch the surface of what their class can do in this current phase. The original arena season 3 in TBC was from November to June. Now donā€™t get me wrong, I donā€™t expect phase 3-4 to last ~7 months. But I did expect it to last longer than ~3 months.

I havenā€™t felt this disappointed in something since the last seasons of Game of Thrones.

Agreed, just seeing if a collective with horrible decision making skills would concede anything at this point. I was expecting another 4-6 weeks.

Whelp.

Still making terrible decisions. Good news guys! WotLK is going to be exactly the same.

Well. Theyā€™re more in touch with their player base at the very least.

Can you just please try to be thoughtful and considerate when making changes. Iā€™m not even fervently against shorter seasons, but like, Iā€™ve been around 1800-2k all season in 2s, and I donā€™t even think Iā€™m going to be full geared by the end. If you knew this was going to be such a short season, you should have boosted arena points or reduced prices. Something. I donā€™t even get to enjoy working with a full set of gear before I have to farm the next. Itā€™s pretty frustrating.

I really think they are. I look at decisions like this and thing ā€œwhat are they gaining by making the community hate themā€. I guess weā€™re the dumb ones. We keep paying monthly for the pain they give us.

You guys are absolutely trash, some people canā€™t even finish their sets and youā€™re ending the season to rush content, is $ really that hard to come by at blizz HQ right now?

Thanks for the FYI, looking forward to season 4.
Will the arena point price reduction for season 3 gear be the same amount as past seasons?

Please rethink this, this is way too soon.

This is an absolute joke. You guys are rushing this expansion so badly.

Iā€™ve been playing at 2k+ CR since the first week of this season and I havenā€™t even completed my gear.

The awful pace also exacerbates bad loot RNG for PvE pieces in the worst possible way ā€“ there is literally not even enough time for the law of averages to kick in and give everybody a fair chance to get the PvE pieces that are useful in PvP.

Classic is a treasure that should be savored and enjoyed. You guys are desecrating it with this awful pace.
