[FEEDBACK] Shadowlands Covenant Switching

Is there an option out there to just throw down some tough love and tell people that not everything needs to be 100% optimal in an RPG?

If you’re min/maxing as a competitive raider then limiting how often you can switch solves your problem because you’re on an even playing field with everyone else and you have limited covenant changes to use strategically so you don’t have to over grind any resources.

If you’re min/maxing to be helpful and play a healer or tank for people who wouldn’t otherwise have one then this is entirely unnecessary and they’ll still be happy to have you with a less than optimal, but still useful covenant ability.

If you can’t stand the idea of doing something that isn’t 100% optimal then this would be a good time to learn how to let that go and have some fun doing the best you can with the skill you like the most.

Then why did Blizzard make so many different kinds of content and at such high levels of challenge?

If the game overall was more like Vanilla and max/min’ing didn’t matter - then there wouldn’t be an issue. But that’s not how the game works today.

Personally - my biggest issue is that the 2 ways people have highlighted that will likely be the “cost” is giving Blizzard gold or wasting people’s time doing redundant content. Neither of those really gives RP players like myself any benefit.

I like the idea of rewarding players that stick to their choice instead.

Blizzard doesn’t get rewarded for putting barriers in the way of players wanting to be competitive and players don’t waste their time repeating content they’ve already done.
