What does that have to do with covenant gatekeeping?
You seem confused Jalen.
I specifically already said the game already has AOTC and Raider IO gatekeeping. They wont add another “WALL” aka COVENANTS on top of that like you’re suggesting.
You want Blizzard to make something concrete like the Covenant Ability to be more flexible like a talent. That’s asking for a nerf. Hate to break it to you, but you’re asking to dumb down the game.
You use your anecdotal experience as a fact and you don’t see what is wrong with that? Let me explain with one question then.
Can your own experience dictate how X situation plays out for every single player in the game?
No.
Therefore you can’t use your anecdotal experience as fact. It is wrong. Your experience is not how the game is for the millions of players playing the game.
Who is your main? Maybe you could jump on to prove you’re not another Kiaya. (Lying about experiences they had on accounts that don’t exist anymore LOL)
Not even gonna address the “dumb down the game” comment because that’s dumb. But why is someone who doesn’t even really do the content, based on your character here, care about the so called game being “dumbed down”?
No, it’s not. It’s asking Blizzard for more choice actually. What dumbs the game down is making a one time decision in the first week of the expansion, and then never thinking about it again.
Please explain to me how being able to choose encounter to encounter what ability you will go with dumbs the game down? Let’s dive into it.
Unlocked covenants: do I choose an aoe ability here and lose a bunch of singlet target? Maybe my utility ability works here. Maybe I should go ST ability because the 3rd boss in this dungeon is really hard. I’m gonna lose overally dmg because of this though.
Locked ability: what content are we doing? LOOOOOL doesn’t matter I chose my ability a year ago and I’m locked into it so I guess I’ll use it in exactly the same way and exactly the same situations as I did 365 days ago
I love that you cant look past “IN GAME EXPERIENCE.”
I already told you I don’t play the top 1% game like you.
I already said I pug +10s and Heroic raids.
