Doing a Lot Out of Spite

Yes they seem to.

When you understand the entire game design is fueled by the time played metric… many of those issues you mentioned begin to make sense as to why.

They have been doing all they can to slow down everything we do in game, with time gating content , world scaling, gearing droughts, tedious WQs, lengthier zone travel and flight pathing, no flying, no whistle, old content being more difficult, renown gates, conquest caps, no seals/bonus rolls, etc. So we stay logged on longer and continue to come back again and again as they drip feed content on their time table, not ours.

Read patch notes champ. They litterslly increased drop chances as well as already buffed the raud drop chance. Idk why you think it will take a year to get renown even if it was at lvl 80 renown which it isnt it wouldn’t take a year to get flying next major patch.

You are dancing around the issue. In the last expansion, there were 4-minute WQ’s and there were 10-second WQ’s. The vast majority of people only did the 10-second WQ’s because that was more enjoyable to them. Blizzard made the conscious effort to remove the 10-second WQ’s which shows that their motivating factor is something other than what makes the game more enjoyable.

Do you not have a saddle blankie?

The thing that LW makes fixes that problem.

Yes, in an upcoming patch. They’ve done nothing yet.

And when is patch 9.1? May? June? Then a few months to grind flying? That will put it almost at a year right there.

Well it’s easier to draw out the same crap we have always had instead of adding new things.

It’s like movies today, a pile of cash grabbing rehashes of old thing we liked.

They increased loot last reset. 33% for raid. Granted not enough time to make up for the weeks we didn’t have it but it has happened.

Many players hate flight and feel it ruins the game.

There are plenty, plus transportation networks.

Some people love the new WQ’s. Some are more annoying than others. None are required.

Drops went down from 3 to 2. Hardly anyone needs the gear they get, unless leveling an alt. PvP and covenant gear are ridiculously easy to buy and upgrade.

Nice compromise where we get to experience both.

We just got massive changes. You’d never be satisfied.

Current content drops current seasonal loot. So what?

I mean next patch minor patch is less then a month away. We are about to be max renown.

Everyone thinks 9.1 is far away because they didnt show “much” in blizzcon online. But its prolly closer then everyone thinks. But I dont really care this expansion is very well made for the events that happened during its creation.

Furthermore world quest take no time so lets calm down.

Bastion is awful unless you’re Kyrian. It needs more flight paths.

I built a character and now I want Blizz to stop telling me I can only have fun with it if I only play a certain way.

Keep in mind that most investors are not gamers. They are people who look for any rationalization to buy. Showing lowered expenses while increasing some metric that appears to gauge the health of a game is just the rationalization investors need.
So expenses go down, metrices go up, people buy which shoots up the value, and the current shareholders unload their shares and laugh all the way to the bank.

People hate the flight whistle? Who? Why?

As for drops, they reduced the quantity, removed the coins, lowered the ilvl of mythic+ and world quests, and got rid of emmisary gear. Gear takes a long time to acquire now.

It took me 2 days to get decently geared on my most recent alt. Again perhaps you are playing wrong.

No it wasn’t.

I used it a lot even when I had flight, because I could then use the FP and just afk for a bit.

You can disagree with changes made all you want but, having an attitude of either you agree with me or youre a paid actor, is incredibly silly. This is a discussion board.

Don’t remember waiting for 8.3 to solo WoD raids.

Really don’t understand the Blizzard Logic™ here.

Well, you’re a disagreeable little fellow, aren’t you? Why does it bother you so much if someone has issues with the game? If you’re enjoying it, why bother engaging in a topic like this one?

Right?

Just fix legion scaling, give M+ more loot per dungeon, and give people the customizations THEY SAID would be coming.
