That’s making a judgement on the first part of Alpha, when we have only seen a very small part of an entire expansion.
You don’t think there might just bit a bit more content we haven’t seen yet?
You hit the nail on the head, too many of you players are only looking at this game from a min/max perspective.
So how do you create variety in a world where to min/max fairly pretty much homogenizes everything and creates a boring experience?
The players are the problem, not the entirely the devs are at fault. Everyone so worried about being competitive that it pigeon holes the devs to making everything basic and identical.

The fact that casuals are required to do it before they can use gear they receive from the previous patches’ content does not make it an appropriate skill level for players whose ilvls are well less than what the content is tuned for. It is not intended for a broad audience at all. It is designed for those who are accustomed to doing difficult content.
It is designed to impede progress of the unworthy.
The entire game has been and is designed to encourage players to perform at their best by mastering the ins and outs of every aspect of content. To blame them for playing the game as it was designed is a bit odd at this point.
I think it’s good they didn’t add pointless or unfun content for the sake of just adding new content. Warfronts ended up sucking and islands were mostly just AP spam timesinks. We need actual fun content that isn’t lackluster in the game.
If warfronts ended up being big massive pvp battles with strategy involved they may have had more success.
Most people want an expansion without any “crazy new mechanics/gimmicks” and just want normalized skills, normalized loot and reliable content. Though if it were up to me I’d make the covenant abilities into a permanent, special talent row that stuck around even after Shadowlands.

I see a good amount of post from people who didn’t/aren’t playing the Alpha and have no clue what they’re talking about.
Most are regurgitating nonsense they seen on a twitch stream or from clickbait youtuber.
So basically the same as every content patch ever?
People these days I swear.
Typical “Don’t worry, it’s only the alpha” post. We really need to wait until it’s too late for any changes before we voice our concerns, eh?
“Don’t worry, it’s only the alpha.”
“Don’t worry, it’s only the beta.”
“Don’t worry, it’s only the ptr.”
“Don’t worry, they’ll fix it in the next patch.”
“They’ll fix that in the next expansion.”
Covenant powers absolutely are a major issue. They are effectively our neck and azerite of shadow lands but made deliberately hard to change. Imagine if instead of reforging costing gold you had to do whatever the shadow lands system is and you can only have 1 helmet 1 shoulders and 1 chest.
That is covenants atm.
