Pretty apparent at this point. I mean they dont even fix bugs, lol. We even had the arena skirmish event run all week and they never fixed honor gain from it, lol. If that doesnât tell you how little they even LOOK at pvp issues, I dunno what does.

Bobby Kotick makes 100M a year, you expect them to put more money into WoW? How will he survive?

lmao im dying
what we the players aka cows need to do is start telling them to hire more devs and stop milking us!
Actually a pretty decent watch.
However, you donât really need to have anyone admit or confirm that PVP is the Dev teamâs âred headed step-childâ. Itâs obvious enough. Weâre talking 1:20 of PVEâs resource & time investment, easy.
Each expansion PVP gets⌠1-2 new BG map/reworks & 1-2 new arena map. Occasionally weâll get some honor system revamps, changes to how we acquire gear, but thatâs honestly about it. Also, ALL OF THAT is front loaded during the expansion launch/initial patch.
So at present, the outlook doesnât look awesome. 1 of 3 PVP devs no longer work for the company. Iâd also make note that Kaleiki was probably the more talented of the 3, based on what we know about him & what he added to the game.

Really never was expecting a lot of tuning at all knowing blizz. But man, lmao hearing this guy talk kind of seems like they are honestly ok when specs are really behind and when specs are broken op.
It seems like make your spec work or reroll.

Are you implying you need to be a R1 player to see the issues in the game?
You should apply then

I actually learned very little from these interviews. I donât know if itâs because the interviewers are refusing to ask very pointed questions, or if Chris just needs to toe the line for his career (which I understand), but itâs all just very general diplomatic answers. For example there was never a clear answer on why Destro was allowed to exist as it did in BfA, or why scaling was removed without a peep from anyone as to why, or if any devs actually read the feedback from this forum (they donât). Just a few examples among many.
Really the best parts of both of the interviews he did was learning the reason we had to put up with tank trinkets all of BfA is because the item department makes PvE stuff without any thought of their impact on PvP, and the people working on PvP stuff have no idea what items are being created. Itâs really funny considering we have made lists for them and posted them here with still no changes. However I canât even take that answer at face value when you see they do nerf the PvE trinkets after the raid tier is over and then let the new ones ride for the next season. At least in SL they hit most from the start.
The other hilarious story was about the PvE dev who came into his office and was like 'Hey Chris, like whatâs going on with PvP man??? I was just questing and died to a max level characters starfall like what is even happening here" extreme anxiety in voice. Which leads to the development of the hidden scaling system everyone despised.
Really? Some guy dies to most likely a multiboxing moonkins starfall while heâs farming in some desolate leveling zone and an entirely new system is developed meanwhile we are begging for pvp changes like dogs for years on end and get almost nothing? Sorry if this comes off as really negative and I think Chris is trying to do something good for us with these interviews but some of this stuff is just crazy to me.

I thought it was really enlightening⌠PvP is a minigame and treated as such.

You know, part of me actually believes thats the only reason Hunters and Rogues even got nerfed. We thought it was because of PvP and Arena, but some Dev got 1 shot while doing his Maw dailies, and thats the only reason they looked at it, lol.
Also, its pretty obvious they dont read or care about PvP in any capacity whatsoever. Them never fixing the Arena Skirmish Bug should be testament to that. You think any of hte PvE weekly events would have went the entire week bugged and not fixed? Would have been hotfixed. Meanwhile the Skirmish bug was never fixed. Never got bonus honor.

This needs to be posted on the General, this video needs more views if we want change to happen.

Thank you for bravely volunteering.
You shall be remembered!
Just proves the echoing reprimand nerf was by some boomy player who hates rogues and didnt know how to handle them.
Meanwhile he leaves his convoke untouched. Even buffs it
