That’s not limiting your choice though, you would still have just as much choice as everyone else.
Now you preferring it to be unchangeable is a different topic.

Reducing the entire expansion to just “four reps to grind” sounds very bland and boring to me, that’s all.

Right, you’d prefer to just stick with 1 and miss 3/4 of the content.

Almost perfect Bingo!

I’d like to stick with one and see most of the content through the lens of my chosen covenant.
I’d be missing out on a couple of campaigns (until I got alts through it) but raids, dungeons, Torghast, etc, are all available no matter what covenant you pick. So saying 3/4s of the content isn’t correct.

the majority truly dont care…
yet blizzard and the very small player base cry out as if its a good choice.
Something this divisive should be polled.
Can they really effectively do this much of a mess up a second time? BFA dropped us pretty low… don’t let shadowlands be the same thing.

Sorry, I should have said 3/4 of the covenant specific content.
I speak for myself.

Which is cool, and something I’m totally fine with. I’m picking the campaign I want to be a part of and getting an experience tailored to my preferred aesthetics and flavor.

That’s great for you. It’s just unfortunate that you don’t want other people to enjoy the same freedom to choose their most fun way to play.

Your freedom means killing my experience though.
Why wouldn’t you support a tangible benefit for those who want to stay with one? I’d be fine with swapping otherwise.
Yet he doesnt speak for me

No, it really doesn’t. My choosing anything doesn’t affect you unless you decide to have less fun because of my choice that in no way interacts with you.
While I’m fairly sure in one of these threads I’ve said that I’m not really against that. It would obviously depend on how big of an advantage. If it was cosmetics only? Sure do whatever for staying. If it’s going to create another layer of imbalance issues gameplay-wise, that’s probably too much. Regardless, by choosing to stick with 1 as it is now you’d have advantages in building the rep (whatever it’s called in SL) that affects all kinds of stuff. So that’s already built in for you.

“the higher up you go the more that bothers you, we understand that feedback, it isnt a surprise to us but across the totality of the game and the broader audience "
In other words, they care about the entire game rather than the whims of some tryhards, they clearly say they UNDERSTAND the feedback, they CHOOSE TO IGNORE IT because their goal is to make a game for the broader audience
Reminder Ion literally told Preach to his face that tryhards arent their priority.

Because we value and enjoy that others are punished for playing WoW in a way that we think it shouldn’t be played.
It’s not just aimed at “high-end” players - ANY players that are punished add to the value of the system.
It does, because if they were freely swappable, there’d be no reason to get attached to any singular covenant. And more than likely I’d get laughed at and ridiculed for trying. People who care about story, lore and flavor seem to be a minority these days.
Really? Because it feels like I can’t get anyone to comment on the compromise I’d be willing to make.
And no, the tangible benefit would have to equal some level of power, or at least some very exclusive cosmetics. Something to let us be able to say “no, I want to stick with one covenant, so I can get X thing and Y thing” whether that be a stronger covenant-specific ability or really cool cosmetic.
You get your freedom to swap, I get to be loyal for a good reason. Everyone wins.

You are at least the first honest person to admit it!

And thus the tryhard remains in his bubble thinking those are the only people who like locked covenants and has even failed to realize that this is a false flag poster
The reason is because you want to. Except you must not actually want to stick with one, because you keep saying you wouldn’t if you were able to swap.
Gotta stop letting randos on the internet get to you.
If covenants were only story and lore, nobody would care about them being locked.
I’d gladly trade that off.
Again, it’s interesting that you don’t want to be loyal for the sake of rp-ing that choice for your character, you just want it to give you something in order for it to be meaningful

You know what’s funny? I don’t even care about the swapping. I don’t really care for the aesthetics of any of them and the only 2 good class abilities I can get come with lackluster utility ones.
It’s more important to me that everyone have the choice to play the most fun way for themselves.
