Right. We don’t have access to it. But you don’t need it to get a clear understanding of what the primary issues are in PvP. And if you pay attention, you’d know that the issue right now is players who get high ilvl gear from the upgrade system and then taking it into Random BGs, you know the place where people are supposed to learn and get their feet wet in PvP, and absolutely flooring casual players.
You want to know what the stats were in MoP according to Holinka?
And WoD improved and fixed the issue that was going on with PvE gear essentially dominating in World PvP with the scaling system. And hmmm. Kind of strange that Blizzard decided to start pulling ideas from the expansion that casuals all the way to top end players have been pointing out to be the superior system when it comes to PvP gearing.
I have yet to see a prominent amount of players coming out and celebrating the new system after experiencing it. I have yet to see players showing excitement around the new iteration they’re doing with a half baked WoD ilvl scaling system.
You seem to jump from the idea that the only way we can truly speak about what’s going on is if it comes from the horses mouth. Well fun fact. They’ll never tell it. For the exact same reason they stopped posting their sub numbers. They don’t want to exaggerate the ongoing decline that’s been a prominent issue for many expansions now. Which by the way, there’s evidence from Superdata saying that back at the beginning of March 41% of the playerbase has already packed up.
The problem I have with speaking to you and other people who will fall head over heels for anything Blizzard related is that they need to come out and state something along the lines of…
“Hey guys. PvP is failing. The ladder is not in a good place. And it’s just not going to work. We’re shutting it down”
… otherwise you believe everything is hunky-dory. Like you need the game to shut down in order for you to believe that things aren’t as amazing as you probably think they are.
I know you’re going to give me the “I don’t care” response but you want to avoid being called a simp? Stop negating clear signs and information presented. If you’re having a good time then fine. But pretending that nothing is wrong and all the feedback is rubbish? That’s some serious shill behavior.
