Not to mention how many times in the past has Blizzard put out a lemon, lied to their playerbase and then tried to backtrack.
They need to earn trust back. It’s not going to come easily.

Players have been burned 3 expansions in a row and you expect them to not be sceptical?

Nope. We knew about the covenants and conduits from the very beginning. They weren’t some secret that was dropped in the middle of the night.

Well fair enough.
They also knew how much the testers didn’t like them long before they went live…

And accordingly they were too deep into development to bail on a “box feature”.
They could have done a lot of things differently such as making it easier to switch at the beginning.
They made the choices they made and we have to live with it… It doesn’t mean that that was the only choice they had or that we have to like it or trust them

I don’t hate it, I actually like 90% of what I see… i just wish they werent putting in a system like they PROMISED they wouldn’t do, just give us regular flight! Motion sick people will not be able to engage in it and being locked out of a headline feature is really really bad…
Being able to be a dracthyr always, even when mounted announced (sweet)
Customisable dragon mount you can make to look how you like (sweet)
Talent trees back (eh… neat I guess)
Expansion focused around dragons (Awesome!)
Blue masculine dragon models (oohlala~)
Forced timegated flying borrowed power system (Why… just why…)
And those 10 people are actually a multibox account owned by one person

I just find it weird to get motion sick without any motion… Might be too close to the screen…
Must be nice to not have the disorder…
(obviously I can’t tell you why, I just feel vom, like with minecraft VR too, no motion but holy hell I need hours to recover from that)

Not to be that guy, but that’s a valid compliant to have even back then. (And don’t give me inflation, $15 is still $15)
If the content of the game is so good that it justifies $15 a month, then… sure… fine. Granted, we know the actual reason why they needed it, because MMO’s are expensive prospects with servers and such, at least on the scope and size like WoW. Well was the case until Guild Wars 2 came out with no sub model, just pay and that’s it. (If anybody like to feel free to tell me if any of MMO’s before WoW’s release date didn’t have sub, in that event, it’s pretty much a “have a good reason for the customer on why they should pay $15 a month”.)
My biggest complaint is they are making professions a pillar piece of content (which is great) but then making the best mats from from M+/Raiding… which is not great.

Yes, there was a lot of feedback that was ignored until long after it launched, such as player power being tied to covenants , which many of us was against from the very beginning. Take player power away from covenants and then players would have chosen one because they wanted to, not because they had to based on what played best for their class. I would have loved to have had my hunter joining the Venthyr, but unless I wanted to ignore being picked for a raid then I HAD to go Night Fae.

Players who love the game will sub. Players who hate the game will sub. How is this Blizzard’s problem again?

Not sure how a lack of understanding how it happens is looking down on when I clearly said I don’t understand it because the only time it does that to me is if im too close to or have too slow a refresh monitor. It’s one reason they say tv screens are horrible for monitors maybe need a faster refresh rate…
No need to play like I’m attacking or making and kind of “looking down on”. I lack understanding and stated clearly so… Sorry you interpreted it that way.
They’ll have to hire another accountant to count all that money

Maybe its a minority opinion… I think Legion was the best xpac wow has done and I really like the artefact system. I think borrowed power is fine when done right. It was the execution not the idea… similarly I think Garrisons were the best addition to wow since flex size raids.
Speaking personally, i have a Tv monitor as my second monitor (just an arm’s length away and rotated 45 degrees facing to me, so it’s not too much effort to look at it, infact if i really want, i can not move my head and see the second monitor just fine.) and it works just as fine being the YouTube/low priority browsing/MSI atferburner monitor. 
Don’t judge me, when my GPU goes above 55 degrees, the fans start going to lightspeed. Shouldn’t be able to do that on WoW imo.
