Gear tuning is a non-story, doesn’t fix there being nothing to do at all outside of raid.
PTR is cool but seems way too late at this point.
Aggrend stating, “Just take a break” is super frustrating to every guild leader reading that as the player base of potential recruits is rapidly vanishing/losing interest.
All the big content creators who are in touch with Blizzard are openly stating they’re not confident in phase 4 at all.
I don’t see how SoD survives this delay, the numbers alone are drooping rapidly weekly. A spellpower gear tune isn’t going to fix anything, casters might be happier to do big numbers for a week then realize there’s still nothing to do outside of raid.
