Mine is “Why release it after the 3 day weekend?”

They just want to be done with this expansion as quickly as possible

They are also the first ones to say “why is 9.2 taking too long!!”
Blizzard gets bashed regardless
Exactly, personally, I do not care if they tell us two days before or literally just stick it on live; I spend all patch working towards the next. The issue is my concern about readiness. I guess we’ll see though. Just worrying when Ret and I think hunters tier set’s are bugged and the devs say they didn’t have enough time to give Frost DK an “interesting” 2-set bonus.
As long as they fix the bugged sets and content is fine, hopefully it’s a good patch
As a casual PvP’r I have absolutely no reason to play 9.2. Have fun with the dragon slaying for those that like that sort of thing. My sub ends before the 22nd. I’ll be playing Lost Ark.

As if it’ll be playable the first week anyway. 
So Beta testing is from 2/22 to what 3/8? 3/15?

Well it’s good there is a date and I hope everyone has fun. My criticism is that after all of this time waiting for this patch to release, we have received largely uninteresting and uninspired tier sets. I just don’t think I have it in me to do yet another season of no one wanting me for any PVE content other than close friends. I was truly excited for the return of tier and the prospect that I would excel at something, but my spec’s tier will leave me in the same state I’ve been in for several years now…just not good enough to be taken over other melee. The raid looks exciting (as WoW is very good at creating raid encounters), so I’ll likely hop in and check that out.

Kinda does when your general discussion colleagues don’t know when to have patience
Which is why I don’t blame blizzard when they hate listening to general discussion
The issue is that there is clearly a problem with development. Legion and even BfA, as much as I disliked 8.0 and 8.1, had much faster release cadences with significantly less bugs. I’m a large supporter of polish over early release, but the issue is we are currently getting neither in this situation.

They will have had 7 months and 24 days since 9.1 and 3 months and 20 days just since 9.1.5 came out to not have these glaring design problems and bugs. Theyre getting bashed because it IS later than it should be and it WILL be live with problems that have been talked about and feedback given for as long as they have been available.
Theyre getting bashed because they aren’t doing well, not because people just want to complain.

They haven’t done a lot in the last few years to deserve much better than that to be fair.
Delayed games, cut content, bad press with an ever growing scandal.
Good will from 10+ years ago will only get you so far.

Then there are those like me who have a troll mage and enjoy having a little more of the “feet” covered since their shoes don’t show.
I personally didnt see anything fun coming from 9.2

How many quest areas am I going to need to run out of and back in just for the quest item to pop up? over/under on 5.
Blizzard’s problem is that they pack too much into these mega-patches.
If they spread stuff out more, it would be better for everyone, including them.
Instead of releasing Korthia AND Sanctum of Domination AND Tazzavesh in July, imagine if they released Korthia in June, Sanctum in July, and Tazzavesh in August, for example. Or even September/October for Tazzavesh, perhaps with slightly higher rewards than it launched with (similar to Zul’Aman’s release while Black Temple was current).
By bundling massive amounts of stuff into one single patch drop, too much of it gets lost in the shuffle. Nobody has time to do everything, and when time gets freed up later as people complete activities, the older stuff is obsolete at that point.

Probably because COVID didn’t exist then, the world and the work environments have changed, things still need to be ironed out on how work at home is, not all companies have the same rules on what can and needs to be done while working at home
And if people stopped using PTR/Beta as a “experiencing new content only” and actually help blizzard file bug reports, they’d catch it faster
