Yikes don’t knock it until you try it!
They did get nerfed. Quests give 5%, Rares 3%, Chests 1%. The world boss did give 10%.
I don’t think they actually care if players like it or not. They are counting on they “as long as they stay subbed and logged in we did our job” argument.
Not everyone did like it the way it was . I’m fine either way . However there were enough people complaining about it resetting and losing out on finishing the first round of the quest during the first week of the patch .
The original way is fine for people that log in every day and can easily do it a couple times a week but if I had to guess most players probably don’t fit into that mold .
It’s a shame, because the Korthia/Maw world boss gave a flat 25% bar progress. They also included the optional Maw assaults for another 25% bar progress to speed up the weekly.
A measly 1% bar progress from treasure chests? Only 10% bar progress from the (once a week) world boss? I guess anything to pad those /played and login metrics for the investor types eh?

Where did I say that they did? I learned that the same way others have: reading posts here and Wowhead. You know, where we all have to live in order to figure out this patch, because Blizzard fails at explanations.
That being said… I paid attention to my bar after I did something to see if it was worthwhile.
Let’s use some logic here. This isn’t the first time we’ve had a weekly. LOL
noooo , not you Thallia , we can’t loose you

Actually the ability to equip a 2nd legendary is around the campaign (chapter 7) and that is the legendary belt . The reputation is for the Memory of Unity which makes it so that you can craft your covenant legendary on any item . The legendary belt (Belt of unity ) will be Covenant Legendary only and changes depending on which covenant a player is using at any said time.
I agree with this. I think a lot of the bad feelings towards ZM is residual from the overall expansion.

I’m getting close to not playing for the first time in 8 years. Today it was tuff for me to log on. I had fun up and through BFA. SL blah, Korthia blah blah, ZM, is really WOW? Boring landscape, not much to do as a solo player. Crappy drops/rewards. I’ll try to hang in there for flying. If by then it’s not a lot better I’ll probably give up.
And what’s the deal with Pocopoc? It doesn’t do anything!

Agreed. That’s what I’ve been saying for a while, too.

And do most people fit into the new mold? Probably not.

If the new mold is going from every 3 days to a weekly quest then I would say yes most fit into that mold .
Most likely there were enough people that had a problem with how it worked compared to those that had no problem so they changed it .
If most people fit into this mold, we’d be seeing threads celebrating the change. We aren’t.

Here’s my problem. Typically Blizzard unveils their next expansion by the time last-patch is released. We haven’t heard anything yet for an expansion despite 9.2 being last-patch.
What does this mean? We’re going to be in ZM for a LONG time.
Edit: I should specify “major patch”.

The threads complaining are silly, though. They’re just drama being taken out for the way Blizz approached it.
It was crap to change it in a hotfix while people were working on it. They should have changed it the next week. That’s where most of the negativity comes from.
The pace was absolutely going to be changed to a weekly pace, instead of a three day pace. But since it was done in such a crappy way, people are somehow latching onto “it’s a slog” when it isn’t.
The other main issue is that people were getting gear every three days and now it’s only once a week. That, too, was a bad approach.
But the perception of how long it takes is off.
Because people are going to complain either way . Most of the complaining has nothing to do with it being changed to a weekly . It has been about the middle of the day hot fix that nerfed the percentages people were at. If it had been implemented right at the reset , there would be no threads complaining about it and the people that complained about it before the change got what they wanted and aren’t really complaining about it.
as for people not celebrating the change . People seemed to be happy when told about it in GD a week ago . REplies to the BLue post for the most part were pretty positive.

No, it was supposed to be a weekly from the beginning. They made a coding mistake, then fixed it, got flack, changed it back and thought they’d just change it back to the nerfed weekly come this last Tuesday. However, they screwed that up, so they had to do a quick hot fix which ended up screwing a ton of people who were in the middle of working on the quest. Making the whole thing a hot mess within their customer base.

Where did they say it was supposed to be a weekly and the 3 day thing was a coding error because the only coding error I know of is the one where they did the the hot fix to reflect the changes in the progress bar with the changes to it being a weekly .
Please if you have actual information from Blizz stating that prior to 9.2 launch that the quest was originally supposed to be a weekly quest please show it and it has to be from an official Blizz source and site. Do that and I will be willing to admit i am wrong .

This isn’t the first time they have made this mistake. So, you believe what you want to, Myself, I’ll go off of past mistakes they’ve made, along with hot fixes they’ve used to try and correct their errors. If it looks like a duck and all that. 
No it wasn’t. It was always three days, even on PTR.
