Blizzard blind defenders often try to pretend that all the criticism, complaints, subscriber exodus and BfA or 8.3 forum negativity is just “Business as usual”.
It is an excuse blizzard defenders use not to convince anyone since the rest of us knows what’s up, but themselves since they just cant admit that their game is just terrible.
The design choices of BfA prove it is anything but business as usual.
-BfA has record low subs(But hey, feel free to pretend BfA is successful and keeps players playing) yet has also record number of “I am done, I quit, Bye, This game is trash” threads.
This isnt business as usual, the game is anything but fine and the amount of even long time players posting they are leaving says a lot about how damaged WoW is.
-“Corrupted gear is just normal, it is just like legendaries”
Completely ignoring the fact that legendaries not only had a vendor at the last patches but they also would drop sooner or later and you would be done.
Meanwhile for corrupted gear:
1 layer of RNG) You need the item to be corrupted
2 layers of RNG) Then you need it to have a specific corrupted effect
3 layers of RNG) then you also need it to have a specific tier 3 corruption level
4th on the 3rd power level of RNG) Oh and you think you are done? With cloak resistance rising you are gonna need 2-3 of those to drop as well
-“WoW is an mmorpg, it makes sense your character’s power increases based on your loot”.
Another example of business as usual post pretending that nothing has really changed, since WoW was always about gear things havent changed, it just happens to be that in BfA, said grindy, timegated or RNG based gear happens to be around more than 50% of your passive DPS altogether while in the past gear mattered, but 80% was your player character and skill, not azerite/essences/corrupted gear
-“Its an mmorpg, it has always had grinds”
Completely ignoring the fact that the grinds and timegates have been increased 10fold as of late in order to keep subs going and focusing more on grinding and timegated systems rather than fun systems.
-“Game always had bugs lol and bad launches, this is fine, it has totes nothing to do that the 800 employee firing of blizzard during record profit also affected the QA department”
That is yet another blind drone defense, pretending the amount of bugs or severity of bugs is just “NORMAL” and BUSINESS AS USUAL while it is anything but that, 8.3 is one of the buggiest patches out there and the bugs arent even finished, to the point they had to despawn nzoth for limit world first. Anyone who isnt a blind blizzard defender can see that the quality and QA of blizzard has been decimated lately.
-“PvP is fine, you can still outplay opponents”
Another excellent example of blizzard shill trying to defend the indefensible, anyone who has been playing WoW during MoP knows that current WoW pvp is beyond trash, the amount of pruning has ruined any serious competitive pvp but because blizzard desperately throws money on trying to make arenas look like an e-sport wow fan people keep pretending pvp is fine. Because the people that know very well that current WoW pvp is trash have unsubbed a long time ago.
These are just a few of the obvious example of blizz fan people trying to tell themselves things are OK and the game doesnt have crushing problems that make most of people unsub and that WoW is just fine but has a few small problems while people unsub in droves.
