If you had 10 minutes to talk with WoW devs

What would you ask or request of them? For me, I wouldn’t need more than 1 minute. I’d simply say, remove vendors, reinstate stat templates and allow us to reforge our templates how we see fit. PVP fixed in less than a minute boys.

Vendors need to stay for transmogs, pets, mounts. Etc. rewards are needed and targeted rewards is where it’s at. I’d tell them the same thing with templates.

I’d unironically talk to them about the state of fire mage and try to understand their design philosophy of why this spec has been s tier for years now with its insanely bloated toolkit of 3 spells schools, pretty much 0 weakness (purge is technically their weakness but triune negates that and even then they’re still very tanky) and all of the other issues it has.

Like I truly believe fire is like this because a developer who has significant say in class design or mage design in general is allowed to make these decisions.

But outside of that ofc id remove gear ranks, one conquest and one honor set only that’s it.

Small tunings to warr tankiness and NL damage, BM hunter, ret damage, prot paladin healing, fire mage tankiness, rdruid throughput or mana regen, WW damage and a few other overly broken things but outside of that this meta is not that bad. Tons of stuff is viable and every spec has a good comp available and all healers are fairly close

I’m long past done telling multi-national/multi-billion dollar companies how to fix their broken product.

But I don’t need to play their hot garbage PVP anymore either.

I would probably bring up forum moderation as a concern or lack thereof :slight_smile:

Off topic: Brooks are very comfortable shoes.

On topic: I’d tell the WoW devs Dozer is a huge chomo.

They would then hire him on the spot.

Doesn’t really matter, but Ghostcrawler spoke about this years ago. He stated, “We do want to adjust things like mages, but its hard to adjust a class that so many people play. We suggest a nerf or adjustment internally and eight people pipe up to say why that would ruin or damage x gameplay experience for players”.

So long story short, when a lot of people play something both universally and internally, they often have a lot of immediate feedback of why they shouldnt do x y z nerf i guess.

I’ve never really minded mages being an S tier caster as long as their weaknesses are resonably defined. Had really no problem facing mages up until BFA too. SL just became a much worse experience due to triune and healing conduit. The changes are so simple, yet they are very hesistant to doing so which is very puzzling at times.

Deliberately adding toxic gameplay mechanics like kyrian spear, triune, rogue stealth conduit, spinning crane kick procs that are able to sporadically delete someone’s entire hp, craven, fleshcraft’s absorb, ret’s wings proc, earth ele legendary etc… creates an unpleasant PvP atmosphere.

all rating rewards are cosmetic

honor set is obtainable within 1-2 days and is a half difficulty tier above heroic during pvp but better due to set bonuses and stats that benefit pvp

conquest set is obtainable at a piece per week, conquest available from any pvp activity at 3-6 hours per week to cap, equal to mythic but better due to set bonuses and better stats for pvp

scale it to whatever you want in pve, don’t care at all

make pvp meta more casual friendly as the bulk of players are in the casual ratings - nerf hybrid healing to the ground during pvp, no drinking, mana runs out fast

more global cc DR to let players choose any combo they want instead of being penalized by not finding partners that don’t DR cc

avoid letting offensive dispels be a hard requirement in a group, because it again limits the freedom to play with whoever you want

pvp should encourage grouping instead of making it harder, should be more accessible instead of requiring razor sharp formulaic cooldown trades that remove the fun chaos of pvp, should have compelling rewards for time spent in pvp
