Hate to burst your bubble but this is not retail!!!
Blizz doesnt pay attention to cata like they do retail. It is sad i know. But retail has more 20 year ann stuff then cata does.
Thats not true at all. Joyous Journeys was up from ICC patch until cata, which had a phase in between with Ruby Sanctum. Also all the automated bots that we call now Customer Support say it should be up. It was just an unintended result of the last patch release, guess some intern was working on it before it was added and then they pushed the changes without them.

Yes tho it might be intended to still be active you did say
which proves my point that normally JJ is removed with each new phase.
This also came with a blue post saying it would. All other JJ’s where removed with the new phase release.
You think they are making bugs to make people play retail? my guy there are literally game breaking bugs in retail that haven’t been fixed.
I don’t believe they are intentionally creating bugs to disrupt Classic; rather, it seems they are overlooking bugs that have been present since the beta. Additionally, when Blizzard introduces elements from retail, it often brings new bugs. For instance, the introduction of retail transmog it impacted various aspects of Cataclysm in beta.
You think they are running the game in good faith for $15/month?
Keep in mind this comes from the company that patented ways to get children addicted to gambling via loot boxes and matchmaking manipulation.
I’m very much aware of their patents, but also I understand that there is a very clear miss management of their studio/teams, classic is 99% suffering due to SOD focus.
Classic is suffering because Blizz wants to manipulate player behaviors(hence why they file patents doing just that) and push people to retail. They’ll then pull out MoP once retail wanes to hold onto subs while they repeat the cycle.
Ok I do agree with you some what, especially as said behavior is a major part in Overwatch 2, however Blizzard is actually struggling to retain player counts on retail, there are elements now that completely turn people off retail, so no amount of modification would work to make people play retail.
Simply classic is feasible numbers wise and they just don’t care if its perfect, they are stretching their teams and as a result things are being churned out faster but without a soul and with mega bugs, right now they have 4 different versions of wow and plans to have another, its a very telling motivation from their conferences they did with china where they pitched the sub increases and how they make money, more more more.
That’s literally every MMO/video game after initial hype surge. Retail still is their largest cash cow atm for the WoW IP.
It’s weird how people make excuses for the devs. Aggrend clearly has the time to doom scroll SoD content in social media. The teams are not stretched. They are not overworked. They are incompetent at their jobs. Merit, ability, and genuine passion no longer are the main reasons people get hired in Cali tech companies like Blizzard. There has to be a point where you see their actions and attitudes towards products/IPs/communities and realize they are intentionally not doing things and are repeatedly dishonest about it.

Iv seen a few posts on reddit of people talking to GM’s stating it should be working. And if its it not working to lodge a bug report so it can gain attention. It was not communicated that it was ending because its a bug, not some hidden BS conspiracy due to your love hate relationship with the game/blizzard.
Does this excuse them? Not in the slightest, but if people spent half the time attempting to actually communicate with blizzard through the direct/appropriate channels, rather than arguing with each other about if they are or arent doing this on purpose then it would get fixed faster or would be announced its over and was a communication error a lot sooner.
In lighter news…I did run my low leveler last night. I stoned to tanaris town and did not get instakilled by the goblin guards.
No more JJ but not dying to guards on stoning/portaling. So whatever they did that caused JJ to be removed fixed that bug for a silver lining lol.
I’d ofc take JJ and not dying to stoning in to guards at the same time. But batting 500 will have to do.
Just saying what I am saying, they are miss-managing their teams, I’m sure there are talented devs there, doesn’t mean they are being used correctly.
And in noway was I making excuses for Blizzard, I think they have dropped the ball in all versions of WoW and other IPs.
Like all those ptr bug reports that get ignored an entire phase LMFAO
MOP is going to be worse then cata!!! Every expac has a decreased player base. When Classic went to TBC people quit then when TBC went to WOTLK the player base dropped Then when WoTLK went to cata more people quit. It is going to be the same thing for mop. But this time we might just have 2 servers Bene and Farleina. if we are lucky. Blizz might actually merge all the servers into one mega server for mop. Who knows.
