Why do so many anti-LFD advocates hide behind this? Blizzard changed the way they were handling rating on arena gear during beta testing. Blizzard changed Drums based on player Feedback.
This repeated phrase of “Blizzard said its happening” feels like a line out of fear that people are making sound arguments and you can’t bear the thought of them going back on their word. Again, very akin to a snarky child hiding behind their parents.
If they are wise they will look for area’s they can compromise to retain as many people from both parties. Alternatives have been posted all over these forums. If people just took a step back and could come to an agreement on where they can compromise these discussions would be moving forward to something everyone can enjoy as opposed to just one group of players.
A good example was highlighted in a different thread.
I am not saying this is perfect by any means, but it does set up a decent framework from which people can come to an agreement.
