Is there a disconnect between Blizzard and the community?

TBC is going to turn SL into an actual ghost town.

I gave up on that a long time ago, which is why I have no desire whatsoever to be an MvP.

If you admittedly dislike WoW this much then why continue to pay a sub? Why continue to complain on the forums knowing full well the game no longer caters to causals? Seems counterintuitive.

Canā€™t let anyone find out that in reality my main is just a try-hard, while the filthy casual within is screaming to be let out and go back to the fun days!

Okay, thatā€™s just flat out false.
You can go look back at the second week interview done by Preach and Morgan Day if you want to see the communities reaction to alpha/beta torghast ideas.

Either way, my only complaint about torghast is that its far too inconsistent in its difficulty.

What would you like to see changed?

If you think weā€™re the only ones who would leaveā€¦ Iā€™m sorry, but you have to realize that the forums represent a smaller community than likely the Mythic raiding community. And the silent majority leave quietly. They certainly did in WoD.

Anyone definitely should quit if theyā€™re not having fun.

This is a game. Not life.

It was very much during BFA, during SL alpha, during SL beta, its not like people said #pulltheripcord after the expansion was launched.

Have youā€¦ missed the posts where I said Iā€™m still playing Classic, but that I might just unsub anyway?

Not catering to casuals is different than actively changing the game to require more time investment.

Guess you missed this little gem that somebody posted up a ways in this thread already?

Oh trust me. Blizzard gave up on that too haha

Feedback is rolling in or are you missing it? As you said, the game is designed for the hardcore players and up and dissatisfaction is being expressed. And yes, before you pounce on the statement, it is true that some causals are enjoying the game.

Again youā€™re living in the past, this isnā€™t WoD era of WoW community. A lot has changed to make the game more hardcore over the years, and Shadowlands is specifically designed with those players in mind.

I know, which is why thereā€™s a disconnect between the playerbase and the dev team.

thereā€™s no brainwashing, someone stated their opinion against yours. I think the game was better in Legion but is still pretty solid now. Iā€™m not even very good and Iā€™m not struggling to do any of the stuff Iā€™m doing. Granted itā€™s mostly casual stuff and BGā€™s, but most people on here seems to think itā€™s impossible for casuals. itā€™s not, itā€™s always felt bad until you get geared. I got decked out in honor gear which isnā€™t even close to best and am now steamrolling everything I do. So much of the stuff is optional too. You donā€™t need rep for flying, so donā€™t have to do dailies. WQ gear sucks so you can skip that. You donā€™t need anything from the sanctum upgrades, so you can skip anima farming. You donā€™t need any of the multitude of things you normally grind the table for. you can get to mythic dungeon ilvl through bgā€™s. Thereā€™s a lot of things that were dragging the average Joe down that are no longer needed, and even the covenants you can just pick whoever unless youā€™re really aiming for top level play. I donā€™t see how itā€™s possibly not feeling better than it has the last couple years.

Players can do whatever content they want, someone that like pet battles can love the game the same amount that someone that only do mythic raids, and the same with players that only want to do transmog runs of old content, and they dont have to offer nothing to the game, they are paying for a product/service, the devs should actively work for making the longevity of the game organic, not artificial.

Everyone enjoy challenge, but what can challenge a pro pvper is not the same that challenge a mythic raider, a challenge for someone can be beat normal nathria, or complete the rbg quest, or camp that rare mob of old expansions, you cant force people to enjoy thing they dont want.

And Ion and his ā€œElitist Jerksā€ ideas have a lot of fault with the current state of wow, but also some good things.

You arenā€™t understanding what I mean.

They didnā€™t just one day create all the ideas of Shadowlands.
They were working on them for months before they announced any of them.

The ideas that led to these announcements are what I am referring to.

Sorry for the confusion.

Thereā€™s no use in talking to that person, they are an obvious troll.

Make sure to donate your gold at least.

O.O?

You mean like Azerite Power? OH I mean corruption. OH I meant 8.2 Benthic gear casino. OH I meant Titanforging/Warforging endless loot grind.

SORRY! :frowning:

There is less time investment in Shadowlands than in Legion or BFA.

More fun power, even overpowered powers, like who cares, its only temporary and some classes already are broken anyways.

More HP does not equal more fun or challenge, so thoseā€¦whatever they were today were just pointless. CC immunity is also pointless for something that was billed as a single player activity. Many classes cant stand toe to toe with a boss and pew pew.
