You know, I see this. And I get this, but. It’s because of the multiple prunes, shift of abilities from class wide to spec, if not to talents, if not to pvp talents. We lost a lot of nifty abilities from MoP(Symbiosis, Glaive Toss, to name a couple). We lost our WoD leveling perks. We lost our artifact ability, artifact traits and legendaries. We will lose our HoA, Azerite Armor and Essences. And next, we will lose our Covenant abilities and crafted legendary. We have gained nothing, it’s all temporary gimmicks.
So sure, a revamp was needed because of those things, however it solves NOTHING the way they are doing it. Because once again, going into Shadowlands our entire player progression is based off temporary gimmicks. That seems to be their thing now. So what happens in a few more expansions when leveling once again feels like crap due to all these temporary gimmicks being removed?
We gonna do another squish so that Molten Core becomes a level 10 raid? ICC a level 20? Siege of Orgrimmar a level 30 raid? A squish is a bandaid that doesn’t fix anything, especially if they continue down this road of nothing but temporary gimmicks.
Stop with the gimmicks. Give us actual player progression again, then things like a stupid squish aren’t needed.
