Thank you for spelling out the number 1 problem with WOW. The .01% should not be the focus.
If a few guilds transferred to alliance to get the proposed mechgnome or the dwarf racial, that is a good thing. Everyone is not going to automatically follow them.
So it OK to have imbalance if horde is on top, but not OK to have balance if alliance has anything of note?
I don’t think it is the 1% that is the problem. The 1% detests the RNG loot system, the issue of Covenant swapping and conduit energy, and the grinds just as much as everyone else does.
There’s not been much content for M+ dungeons released since this time last year.
I think the issue is that Blizzard, due to lack of creating additional content that people want to play, has introduced systems upon systems that need to be repeated daily in order to keep their played time metrics up, keep you subscribed.
This is also a 17 year old game. I think the creative well is running dry. And the game has gotten stale to many players. That’s not necessarily on the game, but just creates more challenges for the developers to keep the game interesting.
Whatever trick they pulled to get players blaming each other instead of the actual game devs for things they dislike about the game was a stroke of genius from the devs.
People are living in fantasy land IRL if they believe that this “council” is going to change anything.
It is empty words from Llizzard trying to keep people from unsubscribing.
They haven’t listen to changes to mythic raiding that most 0.01% ask for, you know the content they should have some sort of authority on, what make you think Blizzard listen to them for the rest of the game?
Nobody is forcing the devs to do anything, is all on them.
Hold up theres a council being formed of forum goers? Can I join? I promise to Senator Palpatine the heck out of this place!
But they are.
As in the financial 1%?because Bobby is much higher than that lol
This was such a ridiculous move on Blizzards part. So exhausted with them altering the game to accommodate the mythic raiders.
No. Ion is absolutely the nexus of the problem. If he was “smart and reasonable” he wouldn’t continue to talk down to the playerbase as many times as they’ve proved him wrong after he told them he knew better. He wants the game to be his vision and sees any other option as wrong. If he were able to adapt, he’d have learned his lesson from how god awful the first two thirds of Legion were. He didn’t, he repeated those mistakes, but worse, for both BFA and now Shadowlands. Ion is incompetent, arrogant, and petulant. Not to mention bad at the game he wants to dictate based on his logs, with the rest of Elitist Jerks carrying his dead weight across the finish line. He needs to step down at the very least. He is amazing at encounter design, but he is atrocious at everything else, especially interacting with the community.
I won’t comment on if I agree with you or not just a heads up that you will need to edit that before someone flags it and you get a holiday
even if they dont get picked to be in it, the whole place will be an echo chamber of their ideas. the idea was DoA
yup, catering to any loud group is always a bad idea for design. unfortunately, them doing it also would mean they are admitting they don’t know what they are doing.
Lol I highly doubt we will openly read anything without it being clipped to show exactly how they want people to read it so they respond to things exactly how they want too and what they want too. So that we don’t see any “ignored” comments or whatever. This council thing sounds like an absolute lie. Like the q&a they have done and the questions they take at Blizzcon. There will be nothing open. Sorry. I just do not believe it at this point. They lost my trust in this department through years of dodging community feedback or concerns.
The only time they are honest is when it’s too late. And even then if they have to apologize, they somehow found a way to place the blame on the community.
I don’t like the idea of a community council because what that says to me is that they need to have control over who they are taking feedback from, not from the players here in the forums like normal or on Twitter or anywhere else.
They have to have control over it.
Nothing open about it.
Put THIS man on the council. Absolute truth.
Whom ever gets on the council, please thank Blizz for making pvp gated behind rating a few days before launch. It was such a great thing for them to /spit on us right before game day
They will only put yes men/women on that council.
If anyone dares give them honest feedback instead of giving them a big smooch on the backside, they will magically disappear.
Anyone on the council should be sworn in under this oath. “Good enough isn’t good enough. Bad ideas are bad ideas.” Actually it would apply to employees as well.
But not respond other than in gen chat or places the devs will never read.
