Negativity about Plunderstorm

Stop crying about Plunderstorm, No one is forcing you to play it, It’s not tied to any gear or power related progress for your raiding/pvp/m+ character in any way. If you care that much about the cosmetic rewards, then play it.

Nothing wrong with blizzard adding new single or co-op game modes, some people enjoy it and want to make the most of their WoW subscription. Would a real season 4 be nice? Yea it would… hopefully blizzard can fix that in war within, shouldnt sacrifice a raid teir to work on a new game mode, hire another dev team to build it out. All of your player base pays a monthly subscription to play, and you sell the expansion on top of that, with ingame services.

Can we stop calling this a game mode? Plunderstorm is as much a game mode of wow as hearthstone is. It’s a completely separate game with a WoW theme.

i agree!

but having to add a ton of cosmetics, mounts, pets, titles etc… to it just to get actual players to play it speaks volumes. sad really.

They are incentives to winning, nothing wrong with that. Non PVPers dont get the gladiator mount, non raiders dont get the aotc mount, non plunders dont get the plunders mount…thats just the way it is

Desirable rewards are locked behind a tedious grind (EDIT TO ADD:) during a limited time event

The only point to this game are those rewards since there is nothing from winning - nothing from killing.

Only rewards are cosmetics you get from the renown track

If you want those rewards then you have to play

In order to get that much renown you need to put 40 - 60 hours into this game mode no one asked for

All the other cross game promotions for D4 and Hearthstone were just “log in and play a game” or “go to a portal and kill something once and a while”

Not “spend 40-60 hours in that game grinding pointless renown”

I’ve been told that the delicious salt of my tears is providing sustenance to embittered souls.

Why would they want me to stop crying about Plunderstorm?

I … sorta agree with the OP. But since when have gamers in general or General Discussion in particular stopped complaining about anything? It’s like asking the Sun not to shine. The defining characteristic of grognards is that they grumble.

There is when this was advertised as a wow content patch and there’s no content for wow.

Blizz adding new stuff is great. Blizz marketing 10.2.6 as WoW content and then giving us a totally different game is not great. Plunderstom as a game isn’t the problem. The slimy way Blizzard released it is the problem.

What cracks me up is seeing the people upset over plunderstorm and trying to imagine if they would have been happy with a more traditional X.X.6 patch.
Which would have been what? A few new optional quests, maybe some cosmetics, a new pet battle NPC?

Hell no. It would be the same people on these forums complaining.

Don’t you like testing their new BR for free? Don’t you have phones?

“Blizzard should try new things” Galedron.

Like a better balance of content throughout expansions.

Would have been much better than the nothing burger that is blunderstorm.

I agree with you.
But many of the threads are taking issue with the game itself, too. It’s not just people being upset that it’s not a true retail patch.

I’ve seen dozens of threads now wanting blizzard to essentially patch out the PVP element lol

Wow content.

Wow content.

Not wow content.

How is this difficult to understand?

We’ve joked about beta testing WoW for years, but this time we’re really beta testing a new product for them. Blizz should put us all on the payroll.

Considering they fired all their testers and CS staff, they need to outsource to someone. Why not their dedicated addicts?
