can’t you just pretend that the patch comes out the day HVs open? i don’t understand the problem.
The people who want all their content at once are the same players who will burn through it all in 1-2 weeks, then sit around complaining they’re bored for the next 5 months until the next major patch.

There are plenty of things in the game RIGHT NOW that you haven’t done.
Go finish those first.

Pull the ripcord: release the final raid, come on let’s wrap this up

World quests run 2-3 days long because people have lives and don’t want to have to log in every single day or else miss out.
One of the best things about the rework of world quests, in Dragonflight, was the ability to look at a world quest and think to ourselves, “I’m tired. I’ll do that tomorrow.”
But the “WORLD QUESTS MUST EXPIRE AFTER 24 HOURS” crowd wants to take that away from everyone. ← If anyone wants to point to something that’s “weird”, it’s this.

WQs arent tied to player power though. So there is no “missing out”
Do you honestly believe that’s the determining factor in their decision-making process when it comes to stuff like this?
My favorite part of the “WORLD QUESTS MUST EXPIRE AFTER 24 HOURS” people is that they don’t even try to hide it.
Like, he could have just asked for MORE world quests, and everyone would have said that’s a great idea.
But he went right for this:
Because that’s the part they have a problem with.
It’s so very, very, very strange. 
This is like pulling the ripcord before you even jumped out of the plane, though.
Why they even need to be time-limited anyway?
Maybe they shouldn’t be time limiting events like this then? The helm buff items can easily be designed to not function on season 3 gear, and they can just leave it there for people to do. Same thing with Duos.
Creating content that lasts for a month or two at most is a waste of development time, and is in itself just disrespectful to players as it gives them that stressed mentality of having to pick and choose what to do.
They can easily just release the lot of it, not time gate it, toss some cosmetic and achievement awards in, and let people have fun at their own pace. Brawler’s guild was around for how many years before they axed it? Didn’t hurt anyone to just leave it around for people to have fun in whenever they wanted.
Nope. But thats also not the question you were asking either.
I dont do WQs so it has absolutely no bearings on me.
Quite strange you think im concerned with WQs in any manner. I simply stated a fact lol. Dont worry, no one is asking you to put in an extra hour on top.of your 20 hours a week play time lol
So you gave an answer you don’t believe to a question I didn’t ask? lol
You asked who cared about the player base whining. I answered that Blizzard does.
You unable to refute that moved goalposts by asking another question
Given the state of WoW’s spaghetti code, it might just be a question of avoiding having things in the game that barely anybody’s using anymore, but create holes into the rest of the thing.
For example, if Brawler’s Guild was still around, and somebody discovered one day that people dying to Bruce had their characters permanently deleted… would any of us really be surprised?
And then that’s manpower they have to devote to patching yet another hole in the dam.

I can see your point, but adding new code at all comes with that risk. In fact, they are infinitely more likely to run into those issues by adding multiple time-limited events as they are constantly patching new code in, instead of adjusting existing stuff, which is much more temperamental to do by comparison. It’s the difference in dropping a single massive boulder into a pond vs a ton of grains of sand.
Yes, they both will create waves, one significantly more than the other. If they just leave the content and tweak it, it’s a lot less volatile than adding new stuff every 3 months or whatever, and removing the code when the event ends gets messy too as you have no clue what that code feeds back into.
Good god man, I asked you if you believed what you said and you admitted you didn’t. I don’t know how some of you guys learned to operate in bad faith like this all the time, but I guess anything’s fair game as long as it allows you to look down on some hypothetical group of other players.
Why does it seem every self appointed spokesperson for blizzard only does heroic raiding, poorly at that and is unenchanted?
Wouldn’t someone who is really intune with the devs play the game well?
