I Trusted you, Blizzard. Fix the game, World of Warcraft, or see it die.
You have failed to alter the story to direct it more towards an actually relatable gameplay element that enhances the experience of players. You continue to ignore the financial returns of keeping the story always relevant.
You have failed to understand that Player trust is at an all time low. Please restore the paintings. Acting guilty with impending lawsuits and potential gear changes when the IP is not wrong, and yet you are, is case possible evidence of a very guilty and wrong conscience for what the company has done. Why must WoW suffer, too?
You have FAILED to consider that with player trust not seeing ANY substantive change in direction for the current and near, let alone far future of WoW’s development, you have and are continuing to fail to recognize that the Players now see that for your precious Vision for WoW, you will kill our trust in you.
Please, fix this NOW. The Game needs a change of path, a breath of fresh air, a rethinking that the status quo is no more.
Systems have failed. They are a hollow game progression mechanism that results in burnout because once the expansion ends, all is lost. Literally. We no longer have the Legendaries we did in Legion, nor did the chance seem to be considered for how to carry them forward into later expansions.
I can see nor sense no long term adjustments in mind within Blizzard to correct what have been issues with the game for quite some time now.
Alpha and Beta for Warlords of Draenor were ignored as far as ALL player feedback was concerned.
Alpha and Beta for Battle For Azeroth was the same.
Legion was little better?
And Shadowlands is a trite and quaint trip to a place that seems far and wrongly out of left field for the overall story.
This is a call to full stop.
This is a call to cancel ALL subscriptions until the game actually is fundamentally adjusted back to the old paradigms of FUN, engaging gameplay and supportive story for the sake of the fans and players.
Blizzard, why are you not your own best fans?
Do you even play World of Warcraft?
If you love WoW, please, cancel your subscription until you see the game being brought into a better and more fun mode than time played.
Blizzard, please stop killing your game. You have yet to show that you actually get what the fans are saying to you.
I for one think the game needs more serious elements, not to be entirely tongue in cheek throughout itself and actually both respect and honor what it has done before and see the trees of lore as a forest and work to grow each, not to shove the entirety of WoW’s lore into a single, dying tree.
If you’ve been here since you began, how many others have noticed how often we as a group through the story retread old ground, never innovating new things and new stories with actual depth built into them?
I’ve never seen it yet.
Please, player, cancel your subscription so the Developers can see that their precious Vision for WoW is as Totalbiscuit once said: “Only Blizzard can kill WoW. Only WoW can kill itself.”
We’re heading there, now.
