That’s all the likes of Daark ,Sonechka and Ralph ever do . None of them have ever given a good argument other then they think the system will screw the 1% which it won’t or they are just trolling .

Because every system to date has had the ripcord pulled in one form or another.
We were hoping to have it done before people started leaving between launch and patch 9.1

Really wish we’d stop saying heroic to mythic raiders and your average pvper are the 1%.
Thing is this is an RPG but the MMO is just as important . THat part is why things like covenant class abilities need to be unlocked . This is so we can have the best tools for the right situation be it content or spec. If they don’t eventually give in they will give Ralph his dream of WoW being a SPRPG
The 1%? No system will screw the 1%. They are making real money playing the game from the redbull hotel or on twitch.
You want the catchup/ez mode before launch? At least you are honest. WoW was originally considered the casual mmo, next stop will be implementing the raid nerfs before it launches, let alone after top 10 or 100.
No one is. But no one really wants to be honest with themselves either.

Daark could you do me a favor and be like Ralph and put me on ignore
And that is the part where you are wrong, specifically the “viable” part.
A skilled person can make almost all specs and builds viable, if you are good enough you can do high m+ and mythic raids at a reasonable time.
The viability you speak off is demanding 100% optimization per encounter while all encounters never require 100% optimization bar world first, let’s say an encounter requires 80% optimization to beat, anything above 80% is welcome, but not required, 80% is the viability %.
The problem with tryhards is that they demand that 100% viability when it absolutely isnt needed.
Your spec can still be just as viable without the best soulbind or covenant ability.
Now if an average player cannot reach that 80% without playing the most busted, broken FOTM spec then clear that is a skill problem and they should focus on getting better as a player instead of copying the meta and what world first ppl are doing
I don’t put anyone on ignore. Ignore is how children deal with life.

That isn’t what the ripcord is. The ripcord is more akin to them adding the 5th ring to azerite because “it wasn’t performing as expected”. Which is really surprising, considering they were told that over and over in beta. Now the same thing is happening with covenants and they refuse to listen…again.

Sweet, another short term solution that does nothing to solve the root of the problem. Covenants, like azerite or corruption needed to be tuned tighter, not abandoned and slapped on a vendor.
The 5th ring gave 2 more trait choices that wouldn’t have been on the piece in season 1. It gave more options. More freedom if you will. That’s what separating the gameplay systems from covenant choice would do.
Well I was thinking I’m too old to listen to your childish ramblings
Do us all a favor and get banned again quickly.

More options? No, it just solidified some pieces as bis and others as unusable. They stopped balancing and then we got to listen to raiders and pvpers complain about the M+ vendor being the “only” way to gear.
It’s almost like, the system was designed for raiding and pvp to be guaranteed rewards and the chest to be rng bad luck protection.
Except there’s no way to tune them better, without significant testing. Rather than making a system that requires extensive testing to balance, they should, “pull the ripcord” on systems like this and for designs that are terrible.
Yes, more options. Useable is better than trash, which is what a lot were for a lot of specs before the change. But I digress. The change was made because blizzard saw that azerite gear didn’t turn out how they thought it would, despite being told it wouldn’t turn out that way in beta. Now they are desperately clinging to what they think covenants will be, while being told that they will not turn out that way. It’s like watching a replay of bfa.

Same.
I left the forums for a while, and didn’t get why people were memeing about him…
…until I read a few.
So, no fun, new or interesting content that might require testing or long term planning.
Thank god they don’t agree with that thinking, or we never would have ended up with battlegrounds, arena or M+.
Truth.
Implemented in Vanilla, in the middle of the release, after significant testing.
Also, they were busted at first.
Implemented in TBC, after significant testing.
Also, they were busted.
Implemented in Legion, after significant testing in the Beta. It was also merely an adjustment of a previous system, not a wholesale new thing like conduits.
