Oh, just in case anyone wondered what i meant by predictions:
Like I said.
Clockwork.
Ive been dead on every step of the way so far. One hundred percent accurate.
Now let me tell you what happens if you get your way:
-
Participation craters. Solo queuers realize they get nothing for their time regardless of what BG they queue for so they simply quit queueing. For any BG at all.
-
Premaders, desperate to keep their HPH up begin openly and flagrantly wintrading. This continues for several months until a large swath of them FINALLY get a suspension. Despite it only being 2 weeks to a month, most never resume playing.
-
Premade discords begin organizing world raids. These end up actually being fun but the issue is that they target lone or small groups of players only. Any counter raids that form are avoided like the plague. Too much like fighting another premade for their tastes. World pvp groups of different factions actively coordinate to avoid running into eachother.
From here, only one real outcome is possible. People get so sick of the state of “world pvp” and pvp in general that the pvp cluster sees a massive dropoff in players.
Eventually, only former premaders and established raiders are left. No new levelers. No new blood. Stagnation.
Death.
But Mankrik will explode in population.
If given what you want, you will consume everything around you like locusts.
Time will tell if Blizzard is as shortsighted as you lot are.
