i agree that time-gating this ring at the end of the season feels very bad and makes me want to not engage with the system entirely.
end of the season is supposed to be when we actually get to have fun and enjoy our gear that we worked for during the whole season - we diligently filled our vaults every single week (many times getting nothing but sockets) and finally we have our full gear and want to enjoy playing the game.
now we have to spend six weeks doing chores to finish up a ring near the end?
can we please make this ring like forbidden reach where you could just grind the whole thing out in a day and let us just enjoy the end of the season?
and we also have to grind this chore for six weeks without the ability to fly?
this entire patch just sounds unenjoyable in every way to me.
how about blizzard tries something new with ground mounts while also allowing us the ability to choose to fly?
that way, people who love flying can fly and those who want to try out the new ground mount thing can do it if they choose.
