STOP catering to raiders!

You’re calling me gullible because I cited what a blue said for the reasons why 8.3 is delayed? Tell me oh wise one, why is 8.3 being released in January then?

You cited a blue’s thread title. This is what the blue actually said:

@Bornakk

During the holiday season, we want to be considerate of all our players with the release timing of new content. Many guilds are still progressing through The Eternal Palace, and we want to give them enough time to finish the raid and earn their Cutting Edge: Queen Azshara and Ahead of the Curve achievements before opening the new raid. We try to avoid releasing new content tiers during the holiday season so that players are not encouraged to choose between progression and spending time with their families and friends. This also helps ensure us that we’re fully staffed to support any required hotfixes or turning issues that may emerge.

Of this paragraph, it’s quite clear this decision is about everybody. Not just about the raiders. Progression is not just limited to the raid, as I mention above. The world content, which leads into visions scenario running is just as important as raiding throughout this tier. Not to mention the fact that new content also means M+, pvp, etc.

To blame just the raiders when there’s only mention of one actual raiding aspect, that being people still pushing their achievements in EP (which is a minor aspect of this at best) is nonsensical.
