Mike Ybarra will make WOW great again

Yeah. I get it. Supply and demand.

I just won’t be surprised if the next expac will have increased boosting and token sales because of systems and mechanics are made in the game to prey on the playerbase.

Would it be mikes fault? We will never know for sure. I’d assume so.

It’s just a speculative opinion.

I don’t know why people like you come on here to irritate people.

Go get laid or something.

Yes, they’ll just send checks to Mythic raiders to make sure they gatekeep harder to sell more carries. Just watch them!

It’s fine. You’re choosing to not understand. Have a good one.

I mean you didnt think that old borrowed power would be usable in new content ?

You’re not making any sense at all.

Carries isn’t something Blizzard has control over.

How would it be his fault. Boosting was in the game way before he ever worked for Blizz.

And your opinion is assuming the false premise that Mike is making any design, direction, or development decisions for WoW.

Some people want every possible advantage.

If they weren’t disabled for 9.2 content, the shards with shield, speed, etc. could be used for M+, therefore causing some to farm mythic SoD for higher ilvl gear.

Ion better do what he says!

Square Enix and FF14 have already addressed it due the increasing services which likely came with the exodus of WoW-players:

I wouldn’t call him a “tryhard”. My personal definition of a “tryhard” is someone who decides to “just try harder” to improve. But because they are doing something fundamentally wrong, it doesn’t help much if at all.

My feeling is that Mike and Ion are on the same page, which means that nothing will change in the development philosophy of the game.

That doesn’t hold water because you don’t get the Dom Bonus in M+ now.

So you’re saying in S3, people are going to farm a legacy piece of gear, then farm a legacy gem, for a (sic) i245-250 piece of gear, when 270+ is going to be available? Nope.

And if you’re saying any one of the Dom Gems themselves gives some sort of advantage
 people have that advantage now. It’s not breaking the game.

There was a point made earlier that I think had more truth to it, but the bottom line still stands: no one was really going to bring Domination Gems into 9.2. Having to “deactivate” them was a non-issue.

Make boosting great again.

It already is. I love it.

That has nothing to do with what was being argued at all.

Like you’re not even remotely close to providing anything related to the discussion.

If the shards were enabled, plate bracers for instance, you’d sure as heck do. The stat difference would be more than made up by the shard itself. The bonus is immaterial.

The unholy dps shard crushes any kind of stat increase on a bracer slot.

Isn’t this bit dismissive here right of the gate.
It actually shows that the problem is taken seriously from the other company while here it is a normalized and acceptable condition because a certain player type profits from it.

*sigh*

Person said “Mike will make the game more about boosting”.

I said “Mike can’t make the game more about boosting, that’s not under Blizzard’s control since players buy and sell boosts”.

You : “Askkkkchually Final Fantasy bans selling carries”.

Which is the literal opposite of what was being argued in the first place and is irrelevant to
the discussion that was taking place. Blizzard cannot make boosting more prevelant than it is, that’s up to players to ramp up the laziness on one side and the greed on the other.

But that’s not what we were discussing at all. Don’t interject if you can’t scroll up a bit follow what 2 other people are talking about.

I will believe when I see it.
