These time constraints are a byproduct of gross mismanagement.
I honestly can’t believe how bush league Blizzard’s WoW team feels these days. It’s like they were handed the greatest MMO ever made — the crown jewel of the genre — and somehow managed to squander that inheritance.
The old Blizzard earned its reputation by setting the standard for polish, creativity, and community trust. The current team seems more focused on half-baked systems, constant reworks, and short-term fixes instead of building on that legacy. It’s painful watching the company that once defined excellence in game development stumble around like amateurs.
We deserved better than this from the people entrusted with the Warcraft name.
