I don’t take seriously anyone who pays Blizzard a monthly sub calling me a shill lol. Like bruh. You’re a shill too.
Couldn’t you say the same for Ugit? Considering that he’s been flinging insults at people throughout this entire thread.
Also, if being called a Blizzard shill is insulting to you, that just means it’s true 
People are trying to have actual discussions on the design philosophy behind this season but people like you and Ugit are too busy sucking Blizzard’s hotdog to actually contribute.
No. It’s not an insult to say that competitive rewards should come from competitive game modes in an MMO.
It’s not an insult to tell you that your argument is dumb.
It’s not an argument to tell you that you’re simply one more doomsaying bandwagoner.
Calling me a “bitter tool” when I was just simply expressing the frustrations I was experiencing as a returning player is resorting to personal insults, dude.
Read the tone of your post that prompted that response, dude.
You were being bitter and nasty about the achievements of others in game.
Hence, you are bitter and also a tool.
How? Because I pointed out that the slime cat holds no prestige since it can be carried? Sorry that the truth hurts.
Because the poster you were responding nastily to was telling you about their experience in M+ and building up to AOTC.
You responded with “Grats on working on something that will be useless in a few months.”
Also your bit about being a returning player is something I’m glad you brought up. Blizzard shouldn’t take you tourists seriously about anything ever because you aren’t going to be here long anyway.

It’s true though. None of it will matter. That’s why this season is problematic. Blizzard wants people to hop back on the gear and progression treadmill for a season that will only last a handful of months and end with a new xpac that will render all that effort obsolete.
This is a terrible attitude to have. Don’t you want WoW to succeed and for all players to be enjoying the game? Shadowlands was a colossal failure on top of the other failure that was BfA. It’s in Blizzard’s best interests for players to return in addition to getting new ones. They’ll never build themselves back up otherwise.

Blizz killed my Raid team with their disgusting behavior behind the scenes (my entire Raid team quit when the lawsuit happened last year, and none of them have come back). I’m sure I’m not the only one in a situation like that, a situation Blizzard themselves created, so this isn’t just about people not wanting to do more difficult content. Getting to know 10-20 people at a time is mentally exhausting for me, so I’m waiting until DF to see if my raid team comes back then before I consider looking for another group to run with.
Season 4 is also just old content that’s been rescaled to give players busy work to do while waiting for real content, so there’s really no reason to add ANOTHER difficulty-locked reward.

Yeah? Then you don’t get a slime cat. The choice is yours.
Why do raiders feel so strongly about forcing people into their game mode?
I’m not a raider. In fact, I doubt I’ll even do the content for the mount. But people are so upset they have to do certain content for a mount they want that they are demanding Blizzard cater to their standards. Stop being self entitled. If you want the mount badly enough, then you can deal with doing it on normal difficulty. It’s really not that big of a deal.
if it was such a small sample size it wouldnt be rampant. You cant avoid adverts about it even outside of the actual game.
OP doesn’t even have the book mount from Mage Tower…The one mount that can’t be bought while abiding by terms and conditions therefore assigning it at least some level of prestige.
That being said, I’m irritated that it will now require more of a time investment to get the slime mount. I was hoping for LFR so I could do it in chunks (a wing here and there). That becomes harder to do when you have to try and find groups each time. ugh
Imagine quitting a game because a company experiences a lawsuit.
Welcome to world of Warcraft. Been this way since TBC and it works.
No it’s the correct attitude to have. Seasonal players who don’t stick around and find a guild and play the game coming here making demands when they have little experience in the game is something that the devs should never take seriously. You aren’t gonna stick around-the game shouldn’t be messed with for you.
Of COURSE they won’t. WoW is 18 years old and the MMO genre is never going back to it’s glory days.
It won’t. LFR queues are around 40 minutes. Each wing usually takes at least an hour. Any pug group will clear the entirety of normal in that amount of time.
They didn’t quit because of -A- lawsuit, they quit because of the context of the lawsuit and the countless examples of inappropriate behavior that came out as a result. I didn’t join them in quitting over it because I don’t think that would be fair to the Blizz employees who DIDN’T do those things, but I certainly understand why they chose to do it.
Most of them seemed to already have one foot out the door anyway because SL’s various new systems were all tedious and unenjoyable, the lawsuit and subsequent controversy was just the last straw.

This is an “experimental season,” as Blizzard has stated in their own words. It’s also incredibly short compared to typical seasons. So, it hasn’t “been this way since TBC.”
Dude, I played this game from vanilla all the way up to Legion before taking a break to play other games. Don’t presume to know what experience I do or don’t have.
It is always in a company’s best interest to appeal to their customers, whether they are current, returning, or new. They may never go back to the glory days, but they should still be making efforts to improve and not alienate large swaths of their audience.
