big reason blizzard doesnt fix alot of this is because they let the players use addons to fix it for them.
Apparently plunderstorm wasn’t even initially pirate-themed at all.
Eric Covington on X: “Ah, so it was THAT. Just it’s pirate-themed now. Now it all makes sense.”

It turned into an arms race. Blizzard ever making harder content, while addon creators trying to keep up with addons.
It’s better for Blizzard to design difficulty based on WoW UI. Too many encounters relied on addons to be doable.
It really didn’t, the whole addons nonsense thing is overblown.
Addons that are created to fix Blizzards poor UI design elements/information (i.e. broadcasting mechanics etc) feel bad, but UI overhauls like Elvui and QoL stuff Better Wardrobe and Transmog are cool.
we both know they wont do that unless they are forced to ban addons by higherups and the likelyhood of that happening are almost non existant specially with how toxic the playerbase is and would be.
mike from preach gamming had a video about this and talked about how that is what happened.
Mike from preach gaming is a click-baiter and a liar who would sell his grandmother for half a french fry.

This, so much this.
Is this thing playable in retail WoW? No, it isn’t, its a separate login. It isn’t a new DF patch. If the were a normal company, I’d sue them for false advertising. Well, I wouldn’t, I cant afford lawyers, but there it is.
coming in TWW, 11.4.6, play the new Diabloesque minigame set in caves from the WoW launcher. It’s sorta WoW, they have kind-of dwarves!
Tell me it can’t happen…

Oh so you had a forty level renown grind? Something that took you 40+ hours?
I don’t care about other Blizzard games, I’m only talking specifically about wow.

Yes, and? It’s a small micropatch with things both in and out of the game. You’re acting like you expected a full blown content patch. You’re getting way too hung up on semantics.
agree. People just want to make the game boring for everyone just because they dont like something.
You honestly don’t see anything wrong with Blizzard announcing a wow patch and it not really being a wow patch? Nothing wrong at all?
What exactly did they put in wow? Oh other than the renown track that is based on that other game entirely.
No, I’m expecting changes or updates or fixes to issues that have been going on for quite a while. Not a crappy BR side project.
How is this “semantics”?

it’s not though, it’s only a grind to people who want everything instantly
That statement is what you got out of this entire discussion? That people are just trying to make WoW boring because they don’t like a completely separate game that is only related to the MMO they play loosely because of a few reused assets? I don’t like Dark Souls so I’m gonna go make sure Pokemon is boring in that case. That’ll show 'em.
It is though.
How long does it take to get to renown 40? In hours of your actual time. How long does it take?
Can you stop trying to dictate what a gamemode is?
thnx
This is not a “game mode”. This is it’s own game.
Um, i played for 16 hours over 2 days and only reached a little over renown 10. That comes to 1.6 renown an hour. Thats a far cry from the 1 renown every 4-5 games the Dev’s claimed. Some matched i literally died in the middle of running to a mob by a person 3 levels above me after i just landed. Other times I’d last to the top 10 people left. I even finished 3rd once. The most plunder I ever got in a match was 1083. My average was 200. These forums, reddit, twitter are full of people with the same stories. I don’t know how you cannot call that a grind. Thats the very definition of grind.

if people managed it in less than a day before the buff, can’t be that bad
