Guys, please stop! This kind of stuff is not World of Warcraft! For how long will we get said content disguised as “WoW patches”? These are not patches, and not WoW content.
I feel the dev team have totally lost focus and are shooting in the dark - trying to keep the playerbase engaged with sensationalist events and gimmicks, rather than building for sustainability in the long run. This kind of strategy will only last so far. The gimmicks will stop “working” quickly
The “gimmicks” are a way to try and get new players into the game. Wow is bleeding players and has to figure out how to get new players into the game or it won’t matter anyhow.
You do realize the majority of xpacs previously were insanely dead mid to end of season right?
There were almost zero mid season content patches.
We had quite literally nothing for sometimes up to a year.
As someone who remembers this, and filled my time with leveling and max gearing countless alts. I don’t miss it. I enjoy being able to focus a handful of toons. Jump around doing content. Messing about in these small updates.
Stuff like the hearthstone event adds participation. And it doesn’t feel bad, aside from the rng shenanigans.
Blizzard should thought of that when they ignored players 10 years ago. Now its an
overly bloated mess that any new player will just say screw it and pick up a controller. With instant fun.
All I’m hearing is, “blizz is giving me stuff I don’t personally want despite me being one of millions of players so I’m angery!”
You realize you don’t have to like every single aspect of the game, right? They’re gonna add stuff you don’t like, just don’t participate. It’s not that serious, my guy.
Well it probably was longer but the war on flying was one part. Players been asking for account wide QOL fix’s, along with a working UI with out the need a mod’s just to name a few. They all but killed PvP, its under cardiac arrest ATM. As players beg for new BG’s
These aren’t instead of regular content. They’re in addition to it. 10.2.7 is also a concluding chapter for dragonflight and a lead in chapter to TWW. And then in a few months, we’ll have a whole new expansion for you to complain about!
