There’s many people who like covenants, many more who also support the locked covenant system based on how many people defend it when wannabe elitists try to change the entire game to suit THEMSELVES.
Many times we see people who sometimes dont even raid mythic act so incredibly tryhard and utterly dismiss the points of other people with “pff they are an inferior casual, their opinion doesnt matter cuz they dont do the same content I do” or “I see a ton of opposition towards making covenants talents yet I will ignore all these people who support the locked covenants because the opinions of non 12/12m raiders dont matter”
It seems that these wannabe elitist have failed to realize the game is not made only for them, Ion pretty much said so in the Preach interview, the game is for a broader audience, not the high end tryhards which is also why you are no longer allowed to be optimal at everything and min max by changing covenants.
Mythic raiders not only get better gear than everyone else, they get mounts that most dont have access to yet still demand MORE AND MORE as if they believe they are the special child that deserves everything.
Newsflash, mythic raiding doesnt make you special and the game doesnt revolve around you, even Ion has admitted the high end isnt their focus via his quote: “the higher up you go the more that bothers you, we understand that feedback, it isnt a surprise to us but across the totality of the game and the broader audience "
In other words, they care about the entire game rather than the whims of some tryhards, they clearly say they UNDERSTAND the feedback, they CHOOSE TO IGNORE IT because their goal is to make a game for the broader audience
TL:DR The game is made for everyone, Ion has admitted he doesnt pander to high end, mythic raiders already get enough advantages, they dont DESERVE to even expect the game to be balanced around their unhealthy wannabe elitist whims.
