No, what are YOU talking about? You replied with a statement and are acting as if you refuted something.
Ah yes, so it begins. The infinite loop which is, āRotations and talent trees are too complicated, fix it Blizzard.ā , āTalent trees are so boring and bland and all rotations are braindead 3-5 buttons. Fix it Blizzard.ā , āRotations and talent trees are too complicated, fix it Blizzard.ā Similar to how WoD is now a beloved expansion, itās only a matter of time before MoP era talent trees will become beloved as well. Truly a short-lived honeymoon period.

i think the subscriber count started dying after they started pruning abilities.

lol, no. We dealt with your vision of WoW from WoD to BFA where they just kept pruning more and more until classes had basically no distinguishing features left. Do not bring that back, thanks. There are classes that are braindead simple currently. Sub rogue is a 3 button rotation at best. Fury Warrior is like 4 depending on how you talent it. Go play one of those.

thatās because they catered the game to raiders only.

Ahh yes, a fellow player of culture I see. Yeah no, the 7 bars full of buttons that are NEEDED to be used. WoW is so dumbed down by comparison lol.
In response to your title: I guess not. And it isnāt a ābloatā, in my possibly not very humble opinion.
A long time ago in a galaxy far, far awayā¦as for all the mutilate, slice and dice, etc, I dunno if you average grandma would like that sort of thing.
So nothing much to do with skill then.
Iād quote myself and my opinion on these posts that keep insisting we go back to some boring slimline set of abilitites but I donāt want to seem like Iām repeating myself, which I would be.
So I will just say - I disagree with you. Back to playing the gameā¦

I believe the 3% is the number of people who cleared Sunwell.
Which is an extraordinarily high number. I didnāt clear Sunwell in BC, we were still working through Black Temple at the time. But that doesnāt mean we didnāt raid, we absolutely did.

I hope I never get to the point Iām buying extra keypads to play WoW with.
This is too much.

It is actually better in my opinion then using a normal keyboard.
I have all my keybinds keyed to it so I donāt have to press shift ,ctrl or alt as modifiers while I play because they are already bound to the controller and it puts all of my abilities under 1 hand and it is just a matter of moving fingers.
Also another good thing is it is ergonomic lose less stress on the hands . Same thing with the mouse.
Thereās nothing special about button bloat. Get off you r high horse

I can see how it would help with visual queue from actionbar layout to keypad button layout. It would feel more ānaturalā in a way.
I would much rather have 2 setup options both being absolutely equal in performance output.
-
More or less all passive with 5-6 buttons max for all actions.
-
buttons, buttons, and more buttons for those that like buttons to press with their buttons with a few more buttons added on so thereās buttons to push after the other buttons.
If thereās no difference in performance and it simply a playstyle choice, thatās what Iād be interested in.
Yep. Thatās whatās so disingenuous about the ābutton bloat is fineā people. They pretend or gaslight that passives are preferable to take over actives when most of the time that isnāt true BECAUSE blizz purposely designs actives to be preferable because they ātake more skillā and thus āshould be better.ā
go back and check how many threads there were when they pruned the number of buttons , now compare it to the number that are whinging now there are too many buttons --its about 10 to one ration in favour of the whines about not enough buttons
When I used to use a normal keyboard I spent a lot of time looking down but with the controller over the years and having a basic rotation over the years it makes it easier to focus on the screen more because having a smalller area to focus on improved my game play muscle memory.
So to me it is both a performance and a playstyle choice.
Ok just speaking on hunters ok MM hunters.
I can give an example of where 2 passives are better then 1 active and you have select the ability to get to 1 of the passives.
THese are in your class tree .
Now on your spec tree there is
Which adds a serpent sting that fires along with your aimed shot negating the need for actually having to bing Serpent Sting and the passive Poisoned Injection that you had to pick serpent sting toget to works with Serpentstalkers to add it to the aimed shot .
Passives are about enhancing abilities and making them stronger. Better to bind abilities one will actually use and enhancing them .
The ability is serpent sting and the passive you need get to by picking it is
This proves nothing. Passives would need to be easily better than actives most of the time, for all class/specs, in order to show they are prefered.
