theyre too stubborn to admit they are wrong, happened with artifact power, azerite, and now going to happen with covenants

There’s no proof it will fail on live. The forums and Beta are a small sample of the overall player population.

LOL. Vash only came back to the game to fight the good fight in the forums. It won’t affect him because he’ll leave again after the expansion drops.
Please just bring us back the glyph system, it was a mistake removing it.
If Ret didn’t only move 5 feet an hour in PvP I would legitimately be able to do this and likely would too. I’d feel like an idiot in 9.3 when they fix the problem like they did with Legendaries and Azerite but at least I’d get the story I wanted and the abilities I wanted too in half a minute
right cause only beta players say things like LFM +10 key venthyrs dps only or night fae need not apply
Awww, gimme a little more credit than that 
There is no such thing as “proof” outside of mathematics. The idea that you can claim that the playerbase supports the opposite of what the forums say is fascinating, considering how packed the forum is with pro-blizz trolls and they’re having zero effect on what normal forumgoers think.
And you missed mine their “Paladin” abilities, those abilities are only ones a “Paladin” can have, the fact that their Venthir is flavor at best.
They don’t radically change your play style, don’t change your roll. They are an extra button that freshens up a stale rotation, one you’ll be bore of a patch in, and really wish you could try one of the other 3 “Paladin” abilities.

Pugs have 1000x varying requirements that range in stupid. Take your pick.
Then why do they even do alpha and beta testing if they don’t make changes until it’s live? The whole point of beta testing is to select a representative and statistically relevant sample in order to gain feedback that will most likely be agreed upon by the population at large.
I see two camps. One camp wants to switch. The other wants to be locked.
The locked camp effects the people who want to switch but can’t.
The switch camp does not affect the locked camp because the locked camp is still free to not switch and lock themselves to whatever they choose of their own volition.
I am all for player choice, and forcing the lock on players who want to be able to change their covenant powers flies in the face of player choice.
I do want to ask though: In a world where you can freely switch covenant powers, how would that ability for someone else to do so negatively impact your ability to lock yourself to a covenant and not switch of your own volition?
One option increases player choice for everyone, the other reduces player choice for one of the two groups.
Ergo I think separating player power from cosmetics is the best move to give more players an optional choice in how to enjoy the game.

There are 1000 different metas? LOL. You must think people are really stupid.
With that logic Blizzard should release Castle Nathria untested. There’s no proof it will fail as a raid on live. Maybe they put everything on the GCD including walking since only the Beta testers and forums are a small sample of the overal player population
Covenants were NEVER going to be changed before launch I don’t see what’s so hard to understand about that. Will they be changed later most likely but not before launch.
I’m not speaking of metas. I’m speaking of requirements.

Honestly it wouldn’t be so bad if they didn’t shove so many people per LFR raid, the more people the more chaotic it gets
Fair enough

if it’s unlocked then I feel like I am even more pushed to have to be the “correct” covenant for everything I do because of the social dynamics of this game. If everyone is locked into their choice than everyone except those that are willing to take 2 hours to fill their m+ group will be more understanding of peoples covenant choice since that choice will mean more to them. If people really aren’t going to allow anyone whos the “wrong covenant” into their group then 3/4 of the playerbase won’t be participating in any more than 1 portion of the game content.
That’s the problem though. People are seeing Blizzard make the same exact mistake they made in the past. A few times now. It’s like seeing someone stick their finger in a plug repeatedly.
