you’re skill and ability being garbage does not mean my opinions are, just simply do better if you want to try to compete, but your response makes it obvious you don’t
if you have 7 40s your entire post is irrelevant, since it’s not about the game state and instead about “muh favorite class nerfed wahhh” get over it, and play the meta or else you simply aren’t competitive
Yeah the time waste really gets me. I helped a hunter friend, who is an orc, get that axe from the chain questline that ends with lvl 49 elites in feralas. So much time and effort for nothing.
if you are working toward a goal in a game you are happily wasting your time in that game, if the game developers move the goal post and all that time spent working toward said goal is now irreverent, then the game just wasted your time!

I know that most of these things are picked up during play testing and SoD is not getting any play testing as they wish to keep it as fresh as possible.
Retail does have PTR, yet still has the same issues as the Developers of AAA games think they know better then the consumer and as such they disregard the feedback that they get.
