Yeah I just am simply on the other end of the spectrum. I love having tough choices for my character in an rpg.
RPGs are full of power choices mixed with story choices and no one typically complains there.
It seems the dominant stream culture in wow wants this game to be League of Raiding. Where your character is a amorphous blob that can change to meta every encounter.
I don’t even know why these people even like the existence of not being able to change your class on a whim either… it’s simply another way to “limit” your character huh?
There are mmos that exist actually where you can change your class on a whim, maybe those would be a better fit? For example, in legion, the choice of your class is 100% a story+power choice, exactly like covenants. You could always pick the highest dps class instead of story and whine about it on forums that the game forces you to choose story or power(Because maybe you like the paladin story, but want the the rogue dps?)
Personally I want my character to be the product of my journey. I want more choices that define my character… and covenants are just one small step towards that… I honest wish there were more things like that…
But hey, I completely accept not everyone else likes the same game design I do.
