You will be just fine with limited switches and no changing covenants on the fly. It’s far less impactful for those players than it would be to everyone else if we just let people pick anything on the fly.
Good for you
The awesome thing is, you have the ability to do exactly that! The only time there is a problem is if you don’t want other players to be able to change specs easily. At that point you’re demanding people conform to your idea of fun rather than play the game the way they like.

This is the same guy that cried for Limit in 8.3 that WoW was ‘pay to win’.
This is the same guy that could not care for any lore or story aspect and is just in WoW to ride the coattails of his past successes.
World of Warcraft is not a competitive game. MDI keeps proving that every time Blizzard drags it out. Why would you pull an Overwatch and alienate the majority of players that just want to play the game with over-competitive garbage like World First.
Because this dev team is desperate for people to play the game. But more people will be chased off by systemlands!
Whats up with all these low levels making Preach threads?
I assume to counteract a certain person, let’s call him Rolf, who keeps making anti-Preach threads.
Personally I’m a fan of Preach but I think in this case he’s not actually understanding what Blizzard is saying and, like most people who think his way, refuse to change themselves so they want everything else changed to accommodate them.
Preach had an interview with Ion recently and he had the temerity to challenge what Ion was saying. Legit, that’s it.
A certain group is now chimping out about how awful Preach is. Will let you make your own guesses as to why.
Some people now feel the need to make positive threads to counter it.
I’m not one to really care but… this phrase has some bad connotations and some folks might get upset at using it.
I think it’s because there’s a polar opposite here in that some people think that you should be able to swap anything you want whenever you want with no repercussions, basically just meaning you change “key” abilities like you swap gear, while others want it to matter and be an actual choice you have to pick: Do I want to do X really well and Y not as good, or both X and Y good but not the best. Blizzard seems to want to push the latter and the most vocal people don’t want to change how they approach the game so want the game to change to appease how they play.
It’s like with Azerite. Blizzard’s intent was that you might look at a spec-specific power and think this is really good but I play multiple specs or don’t always use the ability this works off of, and think that maybe the generic power might be better to pick even if it’s not as good because it lets you do multiple things well enough without having to stop and swap.
This is the time for feedback on game systems, and Blizz has a bad track record of not listening and launching these things completely broken. That’s why everyone’s so mad.
They’re acting like angry chimps hooting and thumping over someone daring to point out potential issues, like attacking the messenger will make the issue go away.
Any other comparison someone chooses to draw from the phrase is their own problem.

maybe the mmoRPG genre isn’t for Preach or the players he speaks for. This isn’t Fortnite, choices should impact gameplay. I hope this is the first of many meaningful RPG choices.

I want me to enjoy the game. I don’t want Covenant swapping because I want to be able to roleplay a character that likes some Covenants and not others. What I do want is for all Covenant mechanics to be available to each and every Covenant, which would satisfy both me and the CE raiders who want Covenant swapping.

Oh I agree, just throwing that out there. Both sides IMHO are getting a bit too rabid over how “they” want the game and neither want to change themselves they want everything else to change for them.
You really need to stop this name calling. When exactly did it become a bad thing to be the best you can be at whatever you’re doing?
Systemlands doesn’t have much hope of succeeding because it tells players you can’t play a certain way because it is “wrong”.

As long as players continue to throw their time and money at a game they claim is bad then it’ll be just fine.
Pro Tip, their fun comes from beating the challenge. Just because you don’t see the fun in it or don’t think it is fun doesn’t mean others don’t.

My feeling about Systemlands is more like that maniacal nod and grin Jack Nicholson does in The Departed.
That’s me watching Ion do a Wheaties-worthy slam dunk on himself.

When it consumes everything else and warps everything around you to push it on everyone else.
Nothing’s wrong with wanting to be “the best” but in every game, in every genre, that mindset is like a virus and spreads to infect every aspect of the game. So people lash out at everything being “corrupted” by that mindset.
Granted though Ralph is a… special case. And delusional. But still, that’s where I usually see the hatred stem from.
