No more systems.
It is possible to sell a lot of something thats not good, look at the I phones.
Selling is a lackluster product is on Blizzard. Continuing to pay for it month after month for years (or continuing to play it for those who use gold for sub), is on players.
If the product was really as bad as the vocal minority claims, it would have died off years ago.

Not at all! Its actually pretty easy to keep people hooked on things, look at smoking (though no where near as unhealthy)
EVERYONE knows how bad smoking is yet its like the 2nd leading cause of preventable death in the world.

I have a sneaky suspicion as to whoâs alt that is lol.
You most certainly donât.
100%. I definitely would love to see more conduits. Iâd also love to see a way to get some Torghast powers even if itâs in a limited setting like a full dungeon or a raid.

I know, letâs remove all systems.
Like the one that causes loot to drop from bosses in raids.
And the one that lets you run back to your body when you die.
And leveling.
And talents.
And numbers of any form. Definitely get rid of those, they look to systemy.
In fact, the entire class system should go away, along with the roles system. Everybody should just be a homogeneous grey silhouette with no abilities and no ability to gain any.
Also, I speak for the plurality when I say nobody calls the game âworld of systemcraftâ in the actual game. Thatâs a forum and possibly reddit term.
Iron man mode⊠I like it.
hardcore ironman mode⊠I like it until someone accidently wipes the raid⊠actually forget raiding⊠Iâm gonna level to 60 by killing that level 1 boar over there. South Park style.
I assume some âstreamerâ echoed that word and people just went full lemming after it.

As someone with a psych degree, Iâm sure youâre well aware of what the Dunning-Kruger effect is and that youâre exhibiting it quite strongly.

While I still agree with you - it does need to be considered that WoW came out at the dawn of the golden age of PCs; due to pricing changes in hardware components there was a around 400% jump in new PC users. A second shot in the arm occurred LCD displays dropped drastically in price - resulting in tons of more folks with laptops.
Again - not saying WoW was not top dog - but a (I suspect significant) factor there was it was released at the perfect time - because everyone suddenly was using a PC.
The people that work on âsystemsâ are not the same people that create dungeons/raids.

I donât⊠I donât want more systems⊠I want my character balanced around its core abilities in relation to other players. I only bring dps to the game and I should be near the top of that list. Yep. Period. No more anima, no more stygia, no more souls, no more grateful offerings⊠I want content that beer league players can accomplish along with content for the very best players.
Resource allocation is real. While it may be true that blizzard is not very agile and the idea of changing whatever course they have set themselves on for 9.1 isnât really possible, for future design decisions it is important they hear that their reliance on systems as ânew contentâ has failed over and over. It failed in BFA miserably and it has failed in shadowlands simply because most specs have a bis that most people go with. What is the point if only 3% of your spec or class chooses a certain covenant - as an example.
In the future if they listen to player feedback they can allocate fewer resources to system development and more to actual content development.
You are not very bright and you assume other people are not very bright which leads to comments like you made. Perhaps you should think before you comment next time?
I just assume this about specific people that show signs of it.

The problem is we have a track record.
Blizzard spent all of BFA trying to âfixâ azerite powers.
You never know for sure, but I have a hard time believing BFA would have been worse if they had actually left azerite armor exactly as it was at launch and just chose to focus solely on new content.
Iâm not saying the system wasnt broken. IT was messed up. I am saying it was never fixed and because they did what you said - âhey its in, WE CAN FIX THIS!!!â it just led to iteration after iteration of garbage and introductions of new systems on top of new systems that fixed nothing.
so take your ideas and go apply at Blizzard to work as a game designer.
I didnât see anything of them adding new systems? Unless your talking about valor points or something.
9.1 is coming with a wealth of content, raid, megadungeon, new zone, flying, mounting in the maw, etc. But of course it wonât be out for a while.
But I really like season 1 and prideful so if we just get 9.0.5 and keep in season 1 for a while Iâm 100% ok with it.

Guess how I know you donât know what youâre talking about.
Hereâs a hint, what group of peope do you think makes up the systems developers that you think Blizzard should âallocate resourcesâ from to boost content creation?
It doesnât work that way.
