I think it is more like this
Players: Hey Blizz there are problems with your newest borrowed power system
Blizz : We are going to launch as is because this is the 3rd time and everyone knows 3rd times the charm

I go to bed, I wake up, Sonechka has 65 more posts in the thread over the entire duration, which is a full 20% of the posts in that ~8hr time period. You must sure have a fulfilling job and life.
You still don’t care though, right? It’s still just for the luls though, right?
Oh wait I think I understand what he means by it will turn out best for the health of the game . I think it translates to
#comeonnewdevteam
It’s over 9000!!
Maybe they are making these stupid systems to get people to quit so they can go over to team Overwatch
Hey people Pally , warrior , druid and priest buffs are borrowed power we better get on Blizz about those.

I think he’s referring WoW Classic, which makes his argument even more idiotic.
The only reason it was debated was because Classic was trying to release Vanilla “warts and all.” Whereas some people didn’t want them because you can technically use them to a huge advantage (not that you really needed it because Classic raiding was more about just getting enough people to show up.)
this is why
THey are a self admitted troll . I don’t think they really care or believe what they say . They just like to troll

so in the quote… "…throwing hundreds of thousands of players at an endgame system and seeing exactly what they’re going to do with it and how it’s going to feel.”
when he said players test out endgame systems… it doesnt mean direct player feedback hmm… esp when blizz fired those 800 some employees and a good chunk of them were QA testers, yes they totally dont rely on player feedback… =|
it would be disingenuous to say that all changes are based off of player feedback but… i would say like 90% or more of changes are based on player feedback especially in a massive game like WoW
most bug reports - player feedback
most imbalance reports - player feedback
most exploits - player feedback
most game systems that blizzard changes later on in the expac - player feedback
so i agree… saying ALL changes are based directly from player feedback is divorced from reality… its MOST changes…
I mean we’re still in the be…
yeah this is going to be a disaster of epic proportions once people get into the first raid tier and see how good/bad their chosen covenant preforms vs others of the same class.
I’m sure there will be angry posts from players that will choose aesthetics without looking at sims first coming here posting rants after getting beaten by players they deem worse than themselves.

The only reason the other rogue won is because he is a try-hard who picked the strongest covenant.

i will be said rogue
The best part is there will be situations where someone will pick a covenant for looks but it will simultaneously be the best in a type of content and get called a tryhard.
Sorry brother shoulda had better tastes if you wanted to do more deeps 
Or you’ll have people just quit on the spot like my friend did in Legion over legendary drops. He could pull the same DPS with worse gear and without the best Ret Paladin Legendary that another Ret in the Heroic raid we would do had. It drove him so crazy knowing he could be pulling 10-20% more DPS if he had the same Legendary. After getting Pydaz and Sephuz first he was praying for the best one but the gods of RNG gave him one of the generic Paladin ones instead. He quit on the spot once that happened knowing it would be months of playing before a 4th one dropped.
Some people won’t have the patience to drop their covenant and regrind the renown needed if they pick wrong or when buffs/nerfs happen. I’m sure some on here are happy people quit but I’d rather have a healthy population than a dwindling one.

#PullTheRipcord
I know in Blizzard’s Head they are making covenant choices try to feel like something important and impactful but because of the abilities it has created player power within the game and if they want this expansion to succeed they have to either scrap them or pull the ripcord but I am still excited for this expansion but BLIZZARD PLEASE PULL THE RIPCORD.

Yep I have done almost nothing this expansion. I hated Azerite from the beginning and barely got into playing the game after hitting 120. Just pugged easy content to see the story at the start which almost motivated me to quit with how boring it was compared to Legion.
I didn’t raid anything hard in Legion but I had a good set of people I ran +20 keys with on the regular which I loved. I was lucky my favourite class/spec was the best M+ tank, I got Skullflowers from the M+ cache the first day it was available, and I loved the story/setting of Legion enough to keep me motivated. I understood why my friends hated it, but I never had the same issues since I was Blood 100% of the time and had all my best Legendary items drop first.
In BFA I kept coming back to test out each new iteration of the systems with the successive patches and was never impressed. At least Mechagon was kind of fun, but overall BFA was a big disappointment after enjoying Legion.
So far from what I’ve played in SL I can say I like the dungeon content but know the systems are going to drive me crazy. I don’t even want to collect the stupid Covenant rewards because I’m going to hate playing Night Fae. Wood Armour and a backpack with asymmetrical moths hanging off it? So lame compared to the bone Wing/Arms of Necrolord, Blade Wings of Venthyr or Angel Wings of Kyrian.
When it comes to the abilities I like the utility of soulshape but hate the aesthetics of it, and I’m indifferent on Death’s Due. It’s an amazing and powerful skill but boring as hell. I hope they figure out a way to separate player power from the Covenants. I still haven’t purchased the expansion despite a few friends telling me they are returning to try it(they don’t know anything about covenants or a ripcord really) because I was hoping Blizzard would see the error of their ways. I even went and wrote this How to make Covenants other than Night Fae Appealing to all forms of Content trying to come up with my own ideas how to make the more boring/lackluster DK abilities more interesting(and probably unbalanced). Since we know there won’t ever be true balance, why not go crazy with how they function! You’ll notice I left Night Fae as is because I hate the covenant and want it to burn in a fire.
As has been pointed out by others I’ve come to the realisation they are just too close to release to do a 180 on their big Expansion feature and any changes won’t come till at least the 9.1 patch. It’s sad that a game so many of us enjoy playing keeps pushing these dumb pseudo advanced levelling systems to train us to log in daily/weekly or missing out. If the content is rewarding and fun people will log in every day without having to tie player power to a time gated grind. Gearing should be the only grind.
