So to clean up the portals in Cleft of Shadows you also have to remove portals in Dalaran? What interesting logic you have.
That’s fine, go ahead and drive away more customers and destroy more of your stock price. Once the rest of you get laid off maybe you’ll get replaced with someone who actually listens and takes action to positively address customer needs.
You realize that instead of paying $15/month of your own money, someone else paid $20 for your token?
People think WoW is a lot of things, but thinking it is anything approaching f2p is not a valid one.
why would we port, as 120’s, to some backwater nothingburg instead of the ‘capitol’ ?
There’s lots of reasons to want efficient and quick daily/weekly travel to remote parts of the game. Most of which I’ve finished, fortunately, or I’d be even more annoyed at this “fixing something that wasn’t broken” nonsense.
To give the illusion that they’re listening to us.
Also to deflect from having people call their actions into question.
Another person with a misconception that just because you gave feedback, that feedback must be acted upon. Feedback is not a vote. Your concerns were heard, and they decided to go ahead with the original plan.
If you’re trying to convince us you’re an employee, you’re doing it right.
It has happened so many times that they ask for feedback on a topic they already know what the playerbase thinks, that I see no reason to believe otherwise. Clearly you need to keep the faith.
I live in New England, my dear. Unless Blizzard opened up a satellite office somewhere amidst our 15ft snow banks and frozen lakes, I think my commute would be a rather lengthy one.
In short, be better than argumentum ad hominem.
It’s not worth interacting with him. He’s been here for a week just to be the contrarian and tell everyone complaining that they’re wrong.
I can’t believe how many people don’t understand that.
I wasn’t implying taking anything away. Just using the abundant areas already in the world for their manufactured conflicts. Especially this expansion, a faction war that only takes place on 2 islands that have not been visited a single time by players in 14 years of WoW – and relegating the “old world” to purely mission tables you run on your phone. A complete waste.
The faction war should have started in the old world, moved to the islands around 8.1.5 or 8.2, and then they could keep Nazjatar for 8.3 if necessary to use new areas. The way the story has unfolded and left behind 95% of the land masses on Azeroth for 2 little islands is such a complete waste of unused resources and a terrible story.
I live in New England too. We don’t actually know that you do. And thanks to the magical miracle of the internet, people who are across the world can indeed be employees of some remote company.
Besides, their friends and family plan certainly does not require traveling to an office.
But here, just a couple of topics they have asked for feedback on but ignored after thousands of posts.
Ion: Why do people play alts? We don’t understand it, help us with that.
Ion: Why don’t people do PvP? We don’t understand it, help us with that.
Despite the fact that Ion has been playing the game since the beginning, and the fact that it’s his job to understand changing trends in the playerbase, he asks questions about these topics he already has the answer to.
Maybe he’s an alt of that Goblin Shaman who seems to exist for the purpose of being a pro-blizz contrarian.
Makes sense. It would have worked better than the ham-fisted approach they took.
Personally, I feel like the whole Horde vs. Alliance thing works much better when two things happen:
/IMO
Akston or whatever? He has been suspiciously absent from these threads. Probably doesn’t think it’s worth wading through all of us while holding up the Blizzard flag.
You mean the reverse of most people in GD who aren’t happy with anything Blizzard does?
When Legion Dalaran and Shrine are full of useful portals, they become bustling cities where people hang out. Even if you leave your faction capital, you can run into plenty of players-- the world feels populated.
When ONLY Org and SW have useful portals, all the other capitals become ghost towns and the former just get more population they didn’t need (dumped into a tiny room instead of throughout the city) on top of the loads of people already spending time there for AHs and Ethereal services. You cannot run into other players outside of your faction capital. “Outdated” population centers die their final death.
This becomes even worse from the fact that Shrine and Dalaran, actual cities, are no longer portal destinations, and instead the useless locations that have no reason to retain activity are where you get dumped.
GG Blizz, you really thought this through.
Leave my illustrious, powerful, sexy, psychotic Warchief out of this!
Maybe Blizzard should get a clue with their current trajectory. Also, anything might be a bit harsh. Almost every post that criticizes the game usually has a preface of “art and music are amazing, but…”
Haha. Wait we’re talking about Vol’jin right?
