Even when you’ve read and mentioned the substantial amount of feedback on a subject “5 thousand posts in one thread” you’re not taking any of it into consideration and are still going to do said action that thousands of players disagree with?
You might “hear” your customers but you don’t “listen” to them.
What the hell is wrong with you?
Keep in mind, in the thread you’ve referenced, 24 posters account for 40% of the posts. It’s less a massive groundswell of portal love and more a small-ish handful of rather loud people.
Honestly, it sucks, but we’ll adapt.
In my honest opinion, half of these portals that still exist were a surprise to me to still be around.
Many of you complain about time spent getting somewhere, but you have no idea how long it took to take a FP from Winterspring to Tanaris. That was about 15 mins of flying.
Blizzard pretends to listen. They then go look we are giving you something. Yet when you really check it out. They have taken away more then they gave, to a point where what they gave is useless. I would say flying and Azzerite armor vendors are currently the two best examples. Followed by the new portal changes.
This mentality is eyeroll-inducing. “You don’t listen to my feedback!” is becoming shorthand for “you did something I do not approve of!”, and that’s just plain wrong.
Your feedback is not a vote.
azerite vendors are on a whole other level of redundancy
Hey do you have a statistic for those against the changes in said thread? I bet you do.
Context is ignored if it doesn’t support their narrative. It must clearly be 5000 unique players!
Who knows? Perhaps in 8.2.5 we’ll see the Portal Rooms in Stormwind and Orgrimmar expanded to include some of the removed portals, such as Karazhan, Dalaran Crater, Wyrmrest Temple, and Caverns of Time.
Taking your feedback into consideration doesn’t mean that they drop everything and do what you tell them to do.
We’re not in a democracy. The only “vote” you get is with your wallet.
I understand that but not taking anything into consideration is the issue.
Almost like it’s in spite of the player.
What’s next on things that the forums will complain about?
Horde armor being too spikey? Wait, thats been done.
Flight being locked behind pathfinder? Wait, there’s probably a new thread about that amongst the 1000 others.
Portals? No wait several threads about that.
Fishing requiring me to click on the bobber? Thats it! Fishing is too hard. Blizz nerf pls.
“Hehe we’ll show you to want nice things” winks - Blizzard
Probably that whatever the Heart of Azeroth becomes in 8.2, it won’t be as good as Legion Artifacts.
I’ll never understand why the Artifact traits and such weren’t just baked into leveling. There’s a stretch from like, 60-120 where you get a handful of things. Plenty of room to spread around the traits/talents from Legion Artifacts.
and is your statistic able to discount any of their claims that actual removal of portals (not relocation which most of us don’t mind) do positive things for the game?
Silvermoon to STV.
Darnassus to Gadgeztan.
But I have to agree with OP, Blizzard are doing things players do not agree with, but they are doing nothing to address it other than:
Telling us it is oh so great what they are doing and it is always going to be great, never a problem.
So Blizzard responds to the topic. But people refuse to hear or consider their reasoning.
Yeah, but the CoT portal is redundant, we have a Silithus portal, so you have to fly a zone over, big deal. I bet you’re full up on free time anyway because the only reason to go to CoT right now is to farm the instances.
I voted with my wallet. Deleted the game, and unsubbed. Tired of them not listening to feedback. They continue to refuse to go back to what the game was.
One post I read, or it was the same one and it got edited said “It made the world feel bigger”. Yes it is a reason, but they are literally undoing what they have put in place for how many years, and why? To artificially extend the world and time spent doing things, like they did with scaling.
And as someone said, COT is a lower level area, it is not designed for level 120 who can port to Silithus and fly over.
