Crazy. An MMORPG designed with progression in mind… Absolutely crazy.
Weekly lockout timegate chore playing makes sure it doesn’t feel like progression for some of us, lol.
Blizzard has made their final double down play with implying for us to tough it with playing the weekly timegate instead of how we want to.

Two more weeks?

Bro. Progression is arbitrarily stopping you in your tracks so your options are wait, Youtube, or normal raiding and up.
Either way, increase them MAUs!

These forums spent all of legion, bfa, and sl complaining about endless forced chores/ grinds, how alt-unfriendly the design was because of those chores/ grinds and how they never felt “done.”
Now you complain about them adding stopping points?
Or do this. Almost like, if you make friends, join a guild or open the group finder and actually try, you can do it now.
Honestly,some don’t care they do 20+ mythic ,the world content is boring to them so they wish everyone to follow their lead and just jump right in .lol.
Because the issues with endless chores was the fact that the ending didn’t exist, the game was designed to have no real ending.
This isn’t the same. The storyline has an ending. It’s jus locked behind a raid kill, but one of the raid modes is arbitrarily locked to increase MAUs.
It would be like if they decided Mythic raids only had the first 3 bosses and then the last boss only unlocked after a month.

Those who killed sarkareth will have the quest and complete the storyline and that’s fine with me.
Those who will wait for LFR will have it unlocked then it’s a win-win scenario but nope people has to complain about it.
This is super lame. Why make lfr casual players, who often don’t have time to do a 2 hour raid, wait a month to see the end of the story? What point does this serve other than to punish these players?

Except you’re not presenting it without spoilers by having every other raiding tier open up weeks in advance of LFR. If they opened at the same time, what you said would make some semblance of sense.

There is no reason for the wait,some lfr casuals are ready in their progression to do lfr now ,of how many I don’t know,but opening it up now it wouldn’t hurt.

How is it win/win, when some get the quest and others have to wait? And the story then gets spoiled all over the internet. But Blizz is claiming this is to keep the story from being spoiled?
Makes no sense.

Imagine the b@#$h-fit raiders would throw if they had to complete 8 weeks worth of weekly-gated questing before they could step into the raid.

Not everyone will go out of their way and get things spoiled for themselves and also not everyone will know about the cutscenes being on YouTube not unless they go out of their way and look for it.
Some of us have friends and have a guild that does multiple runs both normal and heroic per week. And some of us just do not enjoy raiding. At all. But we’d still like to be able to experience the story in a reasonable amount of time.

You don’t don’t have to go out of your way to be spoiled on it. The cutscenes and spoilers aren’t just on Youtube.
Just fyi not everyone follows wowhead on both Facebook and or Twitter and not everyone will know who or what they are.
Fyi, a lot of people do, and post here where spoilers get posted all the time. It’s from here that I know one of the spoilers.
