They will sell you the solution at a later patch like they always do.
It still wouldn’t affect you in any meaningful way though.
The dungeons also give you bonuses based on if there’s a specific covenant in the group which can go both ways.
And that’s why you’ll end up buying tokens to pay for carries.
Phone call for Swarles Barkley!
Blizzard does a beta with a statistically relevant, randomized population. X% of people don’t like something in that beta. Based on statistics (hence why they selected a statistically relevant population), X% of the population at large will not like that thing from the beta. When X% of the population at large does not like something, they aren’t going to pay for it. When X% of your customer base stops paying for something, either you change that thing or go bankrupt. Why not change it before X% stops paying?

LoL no proof? Garrisons, Artifact Power, Legionaries, Azerite Gear, Azerite Power, yep none of those were brought up and the community was wrong every time, right? BFA the best xpac ever with soaring subs because Alpha and Beta testers were so wrong… /sarcasmoff
Since Cata Firelands the game has been about how much time they could keep you busy with grinding. Above all else this has consistently been a large issue. Legion was known as being the guild destroyer for Mythic guilds especially. Once people found out they were locked into one spec that needed around 80 hours of play to be competitive it pretty much it was down hill. Back before Legion the only way my guild made it was that we that could would gear both tank and dps or dps and healer. Many of times we would have to play an off role because it was needed. Once the game started to tax you for playing two specs the majority of people stopped putting the time into off specs. This meant that we no longer had that off role for raids when we needed it and eventually the guild collapsed. Many guilds met this fate in Legion, but of course there is no proof guild collapsed like this accept that they pulled the ripcord to stem the loss of subs, as have every xpac for the last few years.
How about for once they try and end an xpac with more subs than they started with?

There’s no point in arguing or debating anymore. Today’s post made it perfectly cheat it’s NOT being changed.
GG Blizz. U lyied AGAIN and FAILED again. WHEN WILL U LISTEN TO UR COMMUNITY??? U are dumb… making dumb decisions AGAIN.

You can’t come up with even a small fraction of that number.
So everyone who will be negatively affected by this should just quit and leave you to play wow as a single player game…
oh god this whole thing isn’t a big deal. People make it out to be this whole huge issue when in reality it just isn’t. You adapt and live with it. The system is fine.
The only way to actually break min/maxing would be to have no choices whatsoever, and to have something like one singular button that you press over and over. And even then, min/maxers would probably find some way to min/max that, too.
The more choice you have, the more heavily min/maxing is used and propagated. When there’s a ton of questions about, “What’s the best for [class/spec]” there’s going to be people running sims, theorycrafting, etc., min/maxing to figure out the answer to that question. The only thing the covenant system does that affects min/max is possibly breaking it up into, “This is the best covenant and soulbind tree for M+, this is the best covenant and soulbind tree for raiding, this is the best covenant and soulbind tree for PvP” and so on.
This is going to inevitably affect everyone in some way. You want to pug a M+? “Not going to take you, you’re not the right covenant.” You want to try and do the current raid on heroic? “Not going to gimp my raid by taking someone in the wrong covenant” It’s going to happen. Saying this only affects the 1-2% is unrealistic, because regardless of whether or not content is doable by all covenants, the min/max mindset has spread across the community so heavily that you’ll have people scrutinizing your covenant choice when you go to try and join a pug for a +5.
At some point, it’s no longer reasonable to expect the community to get out of the min/max mindset, because there’s such a vast number of people adhering to it that it becomes nigh-literally impossible. At some point, the most reasonable course of action is for the devs to adapt to min/maxing being irremovable.

The fact that people will be rejected from groups based on their covenant choice is proof enough. It’s already happened. But yes, let’s watch it fail live as well I suppose

What is unclear about
“In short, pulling on that thread (or cord, as it were) would unravel the entire fabric of the system. Even so, we would embrace the work required to rebuild the covenant system along those lines if we agreed that it would be an improvement, but we ultimately do not share that view.”
It’s not changing so deal with or don’t.

Its a tough choice. Just like they intended. I like it.

Oh yeah for sure. 9.2 will be a decent fix. Honestly, the bigger problem imo is the week long cd for conduits. Change that to be swappable when we are in our covenant or whatever and that alone will be a massive improvement. Belong locked into a spec for a week is terrible.
You - and many others - will not like it when the tough choice you make ends up getting you excluded from something you want to do.
