I mean my friends and I played all of every single season of mop/wod. When alts are actually fun and you can spend your time doing fun activities on them (like arenas) instead of choreghast or the maw you tend to stick around longer… For real we played every class in every spec in every comp in every rating from 1500-2.1. Had a blast.
Rating locking gear and crap like ridiculous boring PvE chores is what is killing PvP. Since legion lol… You notice in the last blue post they just compare it to recent BFA seasons lol…
Call me whatever names and insults you want, but either way you’re just proving my point that you’re a conspiracy theorist and an overall negative person. It’s just a game, play and have some fun!
Learn to read. Explain to me how someone who only does pvp and wants to progress their character beyond item level 200 does so without doing rated pvp?
I know you can’t answer this question because it invalidates your entire premise.
PvErs are forced into raids and keys if they want to progress their characters beyond a certain point. PvPers are forced into rated pvp if they want to progress their characters beyond a certain point.
If unrated PvPers had a path of progression outside of rated pvp to progress their characters they would use that option.
If PvE players that don’t like raids or keys had a path of progression outside of raids and keys they would use that option.
When you remove options that previously existed, you are forcing behavior.
I’m guessing you’ve just not had much experience with earning calls and such if you think this sort of behavior is conspiratorial. Companies pay lawyers and consultants big bucks to handle their earning calls for their shareholders.
Participation going DOWN towards the end of a season instead of UP is absolutely a new trend that didn’t start occuring until BFA because of the way title qualifications were reorganized and rewarded during the season rather than after it.
It’s really telling which talking heads aren’t aware of it, almost like the people that like this season are pretty unfamiliar with pvp historically.
Whoa man, calm down, you’re peddling conspiracy theories here. They could just be stoned and forgetful or on a bugged pageload that excluded their previous post. These things have been known to happen.
I don’t wanna dismiss you for being conspiratorial, but man, you gotta think it through
