They tend to forget everything that interacts to make the game, and instead try to focus on the expansion-specific features…

Systemspatch for the Systemlands.

The chore overload is definitely too much, and I wonder how Renown being timegated is going to be an issue in 9.2 (unless they’re implying there will be no more Renown grind in a future patch).

Oh look it’s all the feedback we gave during alpha/beta. There were tons of threads both here and on Reddit that discussed these problems.

Will earned titles also be unrestricted?

Thank You…

We don’t ignore it because we don’t want to play with it, we do so because your system that YOU DESIGNED will punish us for experimenting. If I choose a build that turns out to suck or just isn’t fun for me I have to wait to be able to fix it. So to avoid that hassle I just google the optimal build so I can set it and forget it.

How is it that you guys do this for a living and still don’t recognize these things? If you want us to play around and experiment then you need to not punish us for doing so. There’s a reason the meme “Fun detected; fun targeted; fun destroyed” gets laid at your feet so regularly.

One suggestion/request: Reduce the cooldown on Void Elves’ Spatial Rift racial ability. The fact that it’s just a weaker version of blink yet has a 3 minute cooldown when many other races have offensive and/or defensive racial abilities with shorter cooldowns is absurd. Spatial Rift’s cooldown should only be 1 minute, maybe 1.5 minutes at most.

When it comes to the limitations on Covenant-switching, millions of players experienced Shadowlands for the first time through the lens of their Covenant of choice, and that would have not been possible had the choice carried less weight from the outset.

This is complete nonsense. The locking of players to a covenant never made sense in the context of the story as you help all 4 with major things as you level. It makes no sense at all they suddenly stop trusting you, the maw walker and continuous hero, suddenly at the end of that.

TLDR: If you had listened to beta feedback not one drop of this post would have been necessary.

TLDR IMHO: Bliz realized that they scr*wed up yet again by putting too many fun blockers into the game. They are making some of the changes that were requested as far back as when SL was in Beta now that so many people are leaving WoW over this being a poor expansion and Bliz’s alleged “less than honorable treatment of women.”

I hope you learn from this and focus on making a game that people play for hours because it’s enjoyable rather than because they are mindlessly grinding pointless content in hopes of eventually getting to one enjoyable nugget of the game.

Now… if you’ll excuse me… I’m off to find and click 8 glowing orbs in the Maw for the 50th time.

I just hope they listen to feedback going forward.
Sometimes its good to be stubborn but when so many people from all different aspects of the game from casual to professional tell you a system is ill designed. Actually listen.

So i’m not sure to what level they’re scaling old raids, but they are doing at least some old raid tuning next patch. See the attached tweet from WoW Devs:

Ignore player feedback for months/years and the moment subs dip too low its time to act. This cycle is so old and pathetic.

Any QoL changes for pvp? Reduce ilvl gaps, removing rating on gear, increase conquest points for win? Getting 20pts out of 5k needed to cap is nuts

I’m still wondering why the “Use Item” option is there on all these items when we can’t even… it couldn’t be another QoL improvement planned for a future thread like this one could it? >_>
My bags are constantly screaming with Anima (and oh boy, now Research) that doesn’t stack, taking up valuable space for the sake of some idiotic need to go click a chat option. “Are you sure you want to delete [Essense of a Literal God] (50 anima) for a more valuable bag space? Spell out “Delete” for us if you do lol.”
They could’ve been the same stackable item, useable, [?] icon with no flavor text and I wouldn’t care.

No need to make anything unnecessarily inconvenient or tedious. Every…single expansion…

Imagine if Henry Ford built a car with square wheels. Then eventually figured out, despite being told many times over the years, with people moving to bikes that round wheels would work better. Then he gets praised by customers for implementing octagonal wheels…
