The recent announcement of account-wide essences is a perfect example of why the continued feedback is both good and necessary. There are dozens if not hundreds of posts asking for account-wide essences where users came in and said “This is basically spam. You’re never going to get this, just stop asking for it.” But… if after the first post about account-wide essences the forums and community at large just gave up, we probably wouldn’t be getting it now.
So if you have something about this game we’re all here for that you’re passionate about - be it the removal of pathfinder or the removal of flying, pvp vendors or high elves or blue eyes, keep giving feedback. I’m not advocating to spam a new thread every few hours or something, but keep contributing to the mega-threads and make a thread if you have a new idea about it.
I’d thank the lackluster numbers that they have received. Not necessarily the feed back… they do also have a tendency to do this then everyone pats them on the back for some brownie points. It’s quite endearing.
So, we never tell them what’s wrong but just start unsubbing. What do they fix then? Seems like the feedback is still 100% mandatory to accomplish anything.
It’s a step in the right direction. It’s not like they’re making them accessible to all your alts, you still need to grind a currency and not sure what the cost is. This is more like meeting the players halfway.
i mean they did this with legion too. it was hard for alts to farm for weapon (tho less complained, not sure why) then they made it easy at the very end of the expansion. why are we acting like this is revolutionary?
If you really wanted to test your theory you’d get everyone to complain really hard about removing account wide essences and see if Blizzard reverts in a simple A-B-A experiment. To demonstrate even stronger experimental control, you’d then complain once again FOR account wide essences for the even stronger A-B-A-B experimental design.
Yes, but I dont have to do specific types of content to kit out each and every alt. Which is what I asked for way back in 8.1.5 when they first announced this system.
I might grind out 30k honor on this guy, but I was never going to do that for every dps alt that needs it as it’s pretty much a “r3 or bust” essence.
