No, Blizzard is not giving me what I want. When/if they “choose” to listen to the players it’s been a bit hit or miss. Blizzard is making more work for themselves in a lot of situations and compiling problems. I’ve seen this argument before “but the players” and then justification for issue existing. There are a lot “results” that seem unintended and poorly dervied. Blizzard is to blame for them being the way they are at the end of the day.
You’re dishonest, After my lengthy post about several subjects you choose to focus on the one thing that is clearly on your mind though. I’ll give you my opinion on it further. After fighting for tokens on the AH for a solid day I stared at 6 tokens in my bags for another day feeling slight disgust (this was my first time ever buying tokens off the AH). I then decided to buy the bruto. Figured out that I needed another token to cover taxes so I bought another. Then I finally was able to obtain my bruto. I do “like” him, I think he’s helpful… but that feeling… I had while I stared at 6 tokens in my bags returns most times I mount him. He should have been a purchase I could make out right for gold in game. But I had to play “the game” so “things” could happen for Blizz and tokens. It did not leave me with a warm and fuzzy feeling.
Lie, Lie, Don’t care about cosmetics over game play issues and bugs. Mini games are pure filler and unrewarding (I could go on about the current ones and have in other threads). Secret questlines actually seem fun, but when I realize that everything in this game needs a guide to do already it’s just more work for me that’s not explained well in game.
I have no idea what they’re making with the bruto or how much they’ve manipulated the token/store conversion metrics in the past. I didn’t engage with any of it until this expansion because I’ve always been too gold poor in game/paid a monthly sub fee. It’s an awkward system that I’m really not too fond of now that I’ve actually experienced “how it works” when there’s a high volume of people cashing their gold in for store credit. This is low quality content for high rewards though. Blizzard may even make more off of store/token sales than actual sub fees. What is going to drive the content creation then? If low quality reskinned mounts nets them revenue with such little work. Why strive to fix glaring issues with the game?
I find it sad in the pinned thread above… how they’re treating customers who have lost guild bank items. A lot of them are “whales” who proclaim that they will no longer buy store items. Why do you think that is?
QA doesn’t exist. This expansion was not ready and we are the beta. Feedback was not listened to when it was relevant at all. Talents are a cluster ****. Quality as far as the game operates is at an all time low. Design wise, it’s beautiful. Story wise it’s meh (especially for Horde).
The problem is… this was Blizzards “logic” for removing the first bruto.
Looks Like the Mighty Caravan Brutosaur might Be Unobtainable In 9.0.1 (Part 1):
Which is quite the opposite of what is actually happening in the “long run”. We’re now over run with what Blizzard claimed was something they were trying to prevent… when they “took it away”.
Thank you.
No, and your dismissal of “hasn’t been that way… yadda yadda yadda” doesn’t add anything of value. This is still a subscription based game despite the token/store revenue they’re taking in and that money isn’t being spent well due to the glaring issues of a newly dropped expansion.
