Ret pally continuing to be in it’s current state is starting to cause people to quit.
Pushing changes like this before testing it in PvP and then making a nerf that clearly wasn’t enough and allowing ret pallys to continue to get free 2400 at the expense of almost every other classes’ rating causes people to lose faith in developers.
It comes across as if devs do not care about PvP players even a little bit.
It being less than 10% of the player base shouldn’t matter. Devs wouldn’t push a change that ruins mount-farming, wouldn’t push a change that ruins mog-farming. Even though these are less represented.
A change can be pushed that ruins PvP and they take 2 months to fix it. We’re over it. A blue post addressing this needs to be made.

I thought this was the general idea that PvPers have about Blizzard.

Yes anyone who PvPs knows this
The silver lining that I see is a lot of people are now finally queueing 3s and inflating the ladder. Even if it’s a lot of Ret v Ret comps currently they are still helping to push ratings higher.
Once things even out this is going to be a good thing for everyone. I suspect we will see some more targeted nerfs after they evaluate the JoTP pure changes. Towards the end of the season it’s going to be a lot easier to get 2.4 for glad.
Exactly, it’s honestly probably just better to ignore everything and just chill because expecting Blizzard to do anything about an op class or spec takes them a long time to actually deal with. No point in really stressing or thinking too much about it, nothing we say/do will make Blizzard hurry changes along.
Ehh, everyone left playing at this point is probably in it for the long haul.
the mass pvp exodus started after the first month of SL, its just been gaining traction more.
the stupid fast meta with insanely fast TTKs has ruined the game and made it miserable/unenjoyable. it also has alienated anyone new or casual to pvp by making it so unforgiving. the kneejerk overreaction to “People need to die” from Holinka was not the right move going into SL.

I wonder what game Holinka plays. It certainly isn’t WoW arena or at least I hope it isn’t. If this meta is his best answer… WoW, scary.

you could tell by how participation dropped early season 1 SL.
MMOs arent meant to be played like a twitch FPS which is how wow has felt since SL.

Very debatable. Definitely some quirks and kinks to continue to iron out, but I’ll take this current pacing over dampfests any day of the week.

Aren’t we already towards the end of the season?
thats the thing, the dampfest only existed in bfa due to healers being grossly overtuned and unoomable. which was in part due to damp existing, remove damp and bring healers inline and the game was pretty solid. people could die pretty fast in bfa if they made a mistake, healers were just able to recover with little to no effort.

Voodoo totem + vitality conduit were very healthy for the game.
pve gear doesnt belong in pvp, one of the biggest problems for the life of the game
