It’s six weeks into season 2. MMR is deflated and/or capped. The best players in the world can barely hold onto 2200-2400 rating. There are few to no healers worldwide at 2400+. Solo shuffle queue times are insanely long because the game mode is unrewarding and stressful for healers. In December 2022, the PVP devs said they were working to address that issue. Nothing has been heard since, though blue boxes filled with unrewarding crap have since appeared as healer-specific arena loot. On this very forum, the last time a PVP developer communicated with players was May 1.
Meanwhile, the PVE devs are giving interviews left and right – about raiding, about story, and the PTR, about their development ideas, about upcoming PVE content.
Where’s the PVP love, Blizzard? Where are the interviews with PVP developers? Where’s the vision for WoW’s PVP future? Where are the breathless discussions of new arenas, PVP modes, battlegrounds, plans for future balancing, discussions of PVP design philosophy, sneak previews of future PVP content, hints of mogs and mounts and other rewards to come? Where’s the hype?
When is inflation starting? You told us you learned your lesson about starting it too late last season. When will you address issues with the current meta, with healing, with shuffle queues? When are you going to share your plans? What’s going on? Are there even PVP devs anymore?
Talk to us, Blizzard. Because right now, it seems like you do not care.
