The only one of these that are marketing would be the lore videos, everything else was just the normal articles for the people that already play the game.
Nearly every piece of actual marketing has been about housing, which is what the OP was saying.
It’s how you see it.
A new race is ‘actual advertising’ and something someone would play for.
New zones are something someone would play the game for.
Housing is something someone would play the game for.
Except they have barely marketed anything other than housing, which was the point lol.
Why are you lying
Youtube, apparently commercials some people have seen, corporate partnerships, etc.
Where exactly do you think?
Yes? I’m not sure if you actually read the OP or not lol.
They are trying to get people interested in that feature to play wow. It’s about making the investment for housing to be more worth in investing I would wager.
No, it really hasn’t lol.
PvP = Combat, and that’s my main activity.
I only really engage with PvE to see the story, like LFR or whatever.
I don’t touch M+ or raiding anymore.
Questing as well, I did the TWW meta achievement for that Geargrinder mount, so I guess I can confidently say I did “everything” TWW had to offer.
Just because the story is bad doesn’t mean it’s not a guilty pleasure to still see it.
I still watch Star Wars, after all lol.
So your idea of marketing is random articles on a website for a game people aren’t playing?
Wut?
If you are into digital dollhouses that serve no purpose other than staring at virtual walls, or if you simply don’t own a home to decorate in real life, then this headline feature is perfect for you.
For the rest of us, it’s a baffling waste of development resources. Blizzard has spent years building a system where we can sit in fake chairs, yet somehow forgot to include the basic functionality that a real home provides. You can’t even use your own house to practice your professions. It’s an instanced box that pulls players out of the world just to play interior decorator.
It is a feature designed for a screenshot, not a game. We’re trading dungeons and class depth for the privilege of farming Void-themed rugs. If I wanted to decorate a room, I’d go to IKEA at least there, the chairs are real.
Jesus, do you even read what is being posted? Why would someone read random articles on a website for a game they aren’t playing?
Do you even know what marketing is for?
Why are you so worried if they talk about housing? I personally will never use the feature but also dont waste my time worrying about how much they market it. I cant even imagine how someone could dislike something so trivial enough to make a thread complaining about it. It doesnt matter.
I didn’t ignore anything, I literally said:
The point of the OP is marketing, not random articles for people that are already playing the game to read lol.
How are people this god awful at reading?
Housing is the primary selling point for the xpac, of course they are going to focus on it.
It is not being shoved down anyone’s throat.
It is completely optional.
Yes it seems as though a company is *checks notes , integrated marketing a new product of theirs to the market.
sarcasm aside, people like us who are so engaged with the product that we post on a company forum make up like maybe a tenth of a percent of their total paying customers. Flooding marketing before a product release is just par of the course.
Oh yea that’s true, other than the non functional digital dollhouse, they also highlighted the game hide and seek.
Holy moses…literally no one has said they aren’t pushing housing, in fact, that’s the entire point lol.
Nearly every piece of marketing has been about housing. I’m not sure how you are having such a hard time with this.
