We did that for months in beta and they promptly ignored it and have ignored all of it for nearly a year after launch.
This is what happens when people do not care anymore because they have been ignored.

I am not sure. I haven’t played a Nelf since BFA before I decided I just could not deal with Alliance players anymore in m+.
Though it’s safe to say they probably won’t restrict customization options behind grinds, though frankly they should do precisely this thing and make really interesting and elaborate ones as rewards for certain grinds, secrets, achievements, etc. It would inject a lot of content or interest into the game for a bit if people were doing pet battles to unlock hairstyles and whatnot.
Problem is Blizzard can’t do that because a large swath of the remaining playerbase are an enigma to me. Like they really don’t seem to like the idea of playing the game. They’re content with afking in Oribos or ERPing in Silvermoon and calling that a fulfilling game experience, but they shriek like banshees when the game actually implements things to warrant engaging with the game.
Like they want things added, but they don’t want to earn them, they love playing the game, but they don’t like doing things in the game, I don’t know anymore. Though I can definitely say, if they’re so uninterested in dialing back the systems they have in the game. The next best thing they can do is just go whole hog one patch with a metric f- load of customization options and make them rewards behind various pieces of content. Cosmetic unlockables do drive people to do things. It gives them something to work toward and feel satisfied they have.
If the Opulence crowns didn’t exist and you instead got a transmog crown for a ton of shiny pet charms, you’d see a lot more people doing pet battling for a bit to get it. Or if it was the AOTC reward, a lot more people would be trying to clear Heroic.
Wait you trying to tell us it is reverse dying? It is dying in reverse?
Yes, it is indeed.
I’ve heard rumors the servers will be active until 2024.
All it is rumors its not fact. Rumors are also is the WoW is dead by 2022.

I’ve heard rumors this guy Chryous takes rumors seriously.
That’s it right? There was that gigantic russian thread with all the top TC’s from the community weighing in on covenants and it didn’t even get as much as a glance by the devs.
What do people expect when we try to do things the right way and nothing works?

Relax, it’s just a rumor from a Youtuber.
One fact I am quite aware of, the game itself is nowhere close to dying.
Umm okay. You can keep thinking that. I respectfully disagree with you.

Ferrets are the only thing currently on my mind.
…Dancing Ferrets.
Yes, because they were totally gonna “fix” the ae in a .5 patch…
A .5 patch can do alot if they suddenly wanted to get stuff done.
I dont like spreading rumors but a new article suggests the lawsuit could be the death nail for wow…
Take it for what you will from this guy

2023 to get to 9.3 patch? And then a new WoW successor?
Seems pointless to even make a 9.3 patch if there going to scrap wow for a successor version.

Lets also face another fact…this may be it and thats why the jailer has won and reality will be “undone” games over guys just like they set us free and the thanos err… the jailer wiped out half the players.
Its lower then ever and its not profitable as it use to and FF14 has offically overtaken and passed wow lol…sucks but tbh blizz we use to know has been gone a long time now. We all know it…even I dont want to belive it and hope it’ll recover but more and more the deadlands might be where we truely end. If it happens. I will return my tauren to mulgore atop the mountains overlooking thunderbluff…sad moo
If these rumors are true all the players hard work for the past 17 years goes down the toilet.
All future expansions stop and a new successor will take it’s place and it probably be total garbage.

That’s a lot of the problem that people are having with the company. The developers feel out of touch, people have remarked on it in the past but it’s either become worse, or they’re starting to notice how frequently you feel it.
Developers double down on bad systems, are genuinely confused when we hate content that’s forced on us in such an egregious manner. Now are starting to lash out at their own content creators and players for not liking the vision.
They have this like weird idea that because they made something that we should like it. Or that spending X amount of hours to make something bad somehow doesn’t make it bad. Like I don’t care how many hours Star Citizen theoretically sinks into its development, it’s still going to be bad and suck eggs if it ever releases just like Cyberpunk did and I said the same about that too.
What’s funny is if the developers could actually engage their audience, be transparent, actually cooperate with the players and interact with them, hear them out, make necessary changes and address concerns like they should be doing. Give the players a say in what they want and try to work with it. This game would still be great. It’s literally their unbridled hubris that is destroying it at the moment and nothing more.
Their two main competitors at the moment are games that have shown a lot of transparency and player involvement with their ongoing development. I can’t speak for New World until it’s out for a bit but from what I saw with beta they were very much listening to their playerbase’s concerns and criticisms and taking them into account. FFXIV’s team like 30 minutes ago dropped 8 paragraphs on the playerbase in maintenance on their site and outlined "Hey, we’re trying to get new server hardware, looking like late September. Until then we need to dial some stuff back so Aether is full and can’t have new characters, but you can go to Primal which is also packed but still allows creation. They’re literally spreading out the players onto data centers and growing dead servers by doing this. So uh, what’s with all the dead servers retail? Start condensing them, make players more likely to encounter each other.

I mean that’s all MMOs or anything online. Hell that’s even your Steam library. You don’t ever really get anything to show for it in the real world, just a big bag of regret when you count the hours as you age and what you could have done differently with that time.
It all goes away at some point, we all made characters on WoW knowing characters that we made one day were going to no longer be accessible. We play online games knowing with the flip of the switch it’s all gone at a moment’s notice. Best to enjoy it while you have it if you can, and if you can’t and don’t foresee yourself enjoying it barring radical changes to fix the game it’s best to quit so you can remember WoW as what it stood as and not as it became.
