If you just want to say #nochanges just do it, but if you are going to claim that from an actual mechanics stand point dual spec is a problem back it up.
Not sure what you mean by “mechanics standpoint”, sounds like another elaborate strawman you’re trying to setup, because that implies that I’m saying dual spec doesn’t “work” functionally or something.
You don’t seem to understand the concept of consequences in a game.
That consequences exist doesn’t mean that I need to find fun in experiencing that consequence for said consequence to justify it’s existence.
The “fun” is avoiding those consequences.
The whole point of a game is to work around the designed set of limitations set forth by the developers. Not all games are sandbox paradises.
I “enjoy” the framework of the game that is influenced by the lack of dual spec.
You are missing the forest for the trees by asking if I enjoy the actual, literal, actions that are involved with the consequence of not aiming for more spec permanence.
It’s not about enjoying it, the whole point is to avoid doing it, because it is designed as a deterrence.
Maybe the fact that people avoid it because they don’t want to spend 100 gold to queue arenas for one night to just swap back to raid spec the next day.
How often do you respec for pvp a week?
For reference, I spent 200 gold last week swapping specs for pvp/bg’s and dungeons/raids. I have a lot of gold so it doesn’t bother me that much but I’m sure you can see how others would just opt out when they would have wanted to play. A lot of casual pve players have avoided pvp all together, partially due to respecs and partially due to other arena changes blizz made from the original tbc.
At higher ratings, queue times are much longer and you play the same team back to back multiple times.
Wow pvp is always better with more people participating.
Its not good enough to warrant the change. It cant be all feels and speculation.
In theory - if all you got is a theory then all youre working with is a belief system and I dont care what people believe in. I think meatier choices and having to play for perks and benefits are a good thing. I also dont like lowering barriers to entice people to play. Either the game is good enough for you or it isnt - it doesnt need to be changed.
I just stated this above. I like having to “work” for stuff in my games especially when there is a real benefit to the thing Im striving for. The more repression the more epic my quest. Dual specs make things a lot more convenient. I dont care for convenience. I could wait for Wrath or play retail if thats what interested me. It doesnt.
And yes, I am a pvper by preference. In vanilla/tbc I mained holy priest and did everything in my holy spec because I could and I enjoyed it. I dont need dual specs to play TBC.
