Completely untrue. When Blizzard selectively starts nerfing and buffing covenants, see how RNG it really becomes.

There was never any ripcord to begin with, only some desperate people that wanted to believe power could get decoupled suddenly believed it, anyone else knew Ion was being metaphorical on that interview.
YOU NEVER code and waste time creating a system just as a precaution that might never be used, that would be wasted effort and time.
Ion and the team clearly want to change the mentality of “Oh i need that 100% optimal build to do stuff omg” as well as slow progress down.
Now that people cant just change to full aoe build for the AoE boss they ll be forced to actually stick to their single target covenant ability instead and will have to beat the boss that way. They understand the difference between viability and 100% optimality and as long as they balance things on a viable level, they are good.
Though it is also certain covenants will be getting expanded on in future patches with them building on them.
Infinite stars and TD were one of the most common corruptions, after playing a while you would get them, what was harder to get your hands on was gushing wounds and stat corruptions
Funny you are talking about corruption and azerite gear which were RNG as if they are the same way with covenants when there’s no RNG.
YOU PICK WHAT YOU CHOOSE, there’s no RNG involved this time, you want to be best at AoE, you choose X covenant with X soulbinds, You want to be best at ST you choose Y.
It is simple, stop acting as if the major changes that are happening now are gonna happen the moment the game launches, I am also waiting to choose covenant since I am between necrolord and Venthyr so I know I cannot be certain of gameplay till they stop major changes
Again you clearly didnt understanda what viability means, read the 80% example, if the entire team is 80% you can do it.
If bad players fail mechanics and cant reach that 80% that is a skill issue and they should get gud instead of copying meta expecting the fotm to carry them to that 80% because we all know they wont reach that 100% anyway
The mentality really needs to be changed, but I think its too far gone now. I think people will quit due to not being able to parse good because they can’t change their covenant stuff from boss to boss. I really don’t think WoW should be designed for competition and parses though… an MMORPG isnt suppose to be about competition, its about the experience. People are treating parses like an e-sport which is just ridiculous…parsing isn’t even a part of the game, its a third party website that was intended to help players improve their skills, and not for competition.
I think we have the proof that you are the biggest elitist here. Your disdain for the community is very clear and your bias towards hurting the majority is very pronounced. Have a good night ralph. Hope you wake up tomorrow with less hatred to your fellow players.

That has already been tested, Preach was crying about how he cant have epeen contests in warcraft logs in the same interview with Ion because of all the RNG and he still keeps playing the game no matter how much he hates it.
I feel many of us are underestimated the level of addiction due to possible 15 years of investment has caused to many players, if they did something so against me I would quit, but it seems many players are simply completely unable to quit even if the game is clearly heading to a direction they hate.
Parsing is fun, I like it to, but to a healthy degree, people who abandon the entirety of the game and just obsess over getting 100% parse with the most unfun and broken builds or combos are definitely a problem that we could
Though keep in mind with power infusion and night fae for spriests parses are gonna be even more screwed because of people able to buy those cd boosts from priests and not everyone can do that. Though parses are also pretty screwed by farming guilds that blast through them in a short time so in a sense parsing mainly means something early on where everyone is on a similar level, after that it gets ridiculous
Though not that I will ever give my PI to anyone else, if they want PI they better roll an spriest themselves :3
Either way I am getting the feeling SL will be a huge success even with many tryhards ragequiting, there’s a lot of progress and small things for casuals to do , like torghast, covenant compaing, soulbinds needing 3 months to fully unlock, upgrading stuff in your area/covenant etc, and to be kept subbed for many months after launch which could lead to a very big % of casual retention which is more $$$, but that’s just my guess.
I’d really like to know where you draw all these obscene conclusions from.
In essence all you really do is speculate from watching YouTube videos from streamers, that in reality have no idea what they are talking about half the time. and extrapolate what they say to fit some dumb crackpot theory you pull out of the hair of your backside because you have no idea how the systems really work, you don’t truly understand them, or understand anything for that matter because you don’t come to your own conclusions. You create fantasies from other people’s because you can’t make your own
You need a special forum supervisor to moderate the nonsense you post.

I agree 100%
Problem is, there is a sheep mind horde of streamer followers who will report your post.
So I am not sure if it’s actually the minority… the minority managed to manipulate then masses to do their bidding

They couldn’t do that, just as they can’t with covenant gameplay. Which is why having more options is better, in both situations.
I find it amazing that people who spend an inordinate amount of time on the forums say things like this over a few paragraphs.
The “catchup/ez” mode comes along because Blizzard finally realizes that they screwed up with implementing their gimmicky borrowed power system.
I wish people would quit seeing this as a bad thing. Blizzard listening to feedback should be encouraged, not made fun of.

This is a flat out lie and wildly misrepresents what was actually said.
You need to dial back your misinformation and stick to the truth. But then if you were willing to do that, we wouldn’t have all these spam threads full of hatefulness towards an imaginary group of people that are living in your head 24/7.
Is it? Seems pretty close to how I remember it going.
guess ralph wants another holiday
Am I a 1%er? 
I saw this coming a mile away. They say something extreme like the one week lockout, then change it later. They do that all the time. It makes it so the limited number of chages per week sounds great by comparison.
Oh, so one guy that makes money off of making videos for the game is enough proof that players won’t quit when they can’t parse well because of game limitations. Well that settles it guys.
Jokes aside…Preach makes a living off of making video content from WoW, if he wasnt making videos Im sure his motivation to play would be lessened.
Im casual, don’t do anything past LFR, and don’t do Mythic+ so the opposite to a 1%.
Borrowed power is a blight on the game and the next iteration is looking worse than BFA.
It’s not fun, and adds nothing to the game.
