Telling Blizzard I promise that there is a better option than their current system is hardly posting just to bump the thread up.
Your input is well noted, but this is a very important discussion that needs to be had.

Yea the percentage of people who would prefer the current system to a talent row or something else would be tiny. Like within the margin of error of 0% tiny Imo.

I think it goes back to what Crimsonrayne was saying, at least he is honest with his reasons - He wants to punish the top end because heâs a self-proclaimed jerk.
Itâs a one way damaging street, one situation targets and harms to people who care about their character and the other scenario nobody gets harmed.

yea so
this latest build added all 12 soulbinds to the alpha
of course there are busted ones and awful ones
canât wait to have player X who picked the good covenant for his class to be 40% stronger than player Y who picked the bad covenant
what a great system 
Nothing quite like giving cheat death to the strongest utility soulbind. What kind of blockhead thought that balance was okay.
Seems like an opinion.
Yes, it is an opinion.
This opinion happens to be shared with a lot of players.
E: Tbh, at this point itâs no longer an opinion. With the available information out there now, the system is no longer doomed to be a failure. It is already one.

Yes and bring back legendarias ty
Explain your reasoning?
The difference between picking a good covenant and a bad covenant is already far more drastic than anything weâve seen so far. Weâre talking double digits numbers here, in the 20 to 40% levels. Absolutely absurd.
For reference, we are at the end of the expansion with Corruption, Essences, and Azerite. A character with bad traits from all these systems is essentially around 30% weaker than a character with good essences, corruption and azerite.
So, if this remains untouched, we will see absurd differences in power between covenants, as the expansion releases. Instead of a year later when thereâs systems on top of systems empowering your character.

I mean the thread has 1111 replies, both myself and Tiphess have been pretty outspoken for our reasons.

At this point Iâm genuinely thankful to be a raider that doesnât care about other endgame content.
Someone who wants to do more than one type of end game content is automatically screwed. Disgusting system. The only solution is to play 2 to 4 characters of the same class to be able to utilize all the covenants they need. Honestly baffled at how Blizzard thinks this is okay.

The unfortunate part is, while Iâm with you on that - All the guildies in our guild that do other content will be punished and will ruin the fun for them.
Luckily we have the brain capacity to see how although it doesnât impact us it will impact them which is why we are the voice of reason.

Yup. I already know a handful of guilds that are losing too many players to games like ffxiv because of how punishing covenants are.
Theyâre either planning on disbanding, or just merging with other guilds once sl hits

It really does look like a balancing nightmare, since we started this thread every shred of information comes out scares me more and more.
Itâs looking increasingly more like you will have to choose what content you want to excel in and thatâs going to be it.

Looking forward to Door of Shadows being changed to a 3 yard Blink with a 10 second cast time and Cheat death being changed to a 10% heal on a 20 minute CD because too many picked Venthyr.
three months in of course.

The announcement from Ion proves he is not ready to budge on this system. Now is the time to make a lot of noise over a deeply flawed system and now is the time to have a deep think about Blizzards track record with balancing rental power systems.
