Is this the new acceptable standard?

Every time we get any piece of small new content should we expect a week of maintenance every morning for hours because most of the content is broken on launch? This has become somewhat of a constant standard now, new patches, new expansions, makes me wonder if there is any testing or care at all for delivering a polished product to customers. I bet the store items and releases are always on schedule and polished.

Feels kind of bad that a +20% exp buff is a patch that makes like 803 bugs and breaks every addon.

If you mean the last 20 years, then sure, it’s new.

There used to be posts from Blizzard apologizing for this while explaining what went wrong and to avoid it in the future, but that’s a thing of the past.

They do it so often they would need to hire an apologizing team to deal with just that.

I guess we both know our parts to play, I bumped your post and you bumped the Op’s post by posting in this thread.

Success!

Been this way for 20 years, stop complaining

I do this because I enjoy trolling.

I am seeing a trend here with dragon enjoyers and apologizing for poor content.

I have to go grocery shopping, it has been hard enough to peel myself away, maintenance days are a bounty of whining.

That is never going to change, so I would just do a little go do what you have to and come back. It is Always here for later on.

this is a big patch. just because it’s not all available to us this second doesn’t mean it’s not part of the patch.

Everything old is new again.

Poor communication, buggy patch’s, and a general “deal with it” attitude used to be the standard.

Clearly the solution is for all players to dig deep, buy a few WoW Tokens and a 6 month sub, so Blizz will have the funds to hire more coders and bug fixers.

No one is apologizing, QA should be reinstated. However, there is endless enjoyment to be had from self importance and lack of self awareness.

This wouldn’t happen if Kaplan was still around.
