Honestly, I look at the front page of this forum and I don’t see any real actual complaints about the game. It is all just silly stuff and forum bait. Since people always whine about problems if they exist, the lack of whining about actual problems and instead choosing to whine about nonsense of PC politics is proof the game is fun right now.
One poster represents a huge chunk of the posts in that thread trying to bait reactions out of people by belly-aching about a made-up nonsense issue. Mythic+ is one of the most popular features in the game for three expansion straight. It’s exactly the type of thing I’m talking about in terms of “lacking substance”.
The environment on the forums just feels completely different from 9.0. 9.0 actually had some serious flaws: Torghast was bad. Nathria was meh. Raid loot sucked. The Maw sucked. So on and so forth. I don’t see any real articulated feedback and negativity, it’s all vague doom-saying fueled by made-up numbers from Bellular. The lack of pointed feedback to me suggests that the game is otherwise is a very healthy place.
You could also read the opposite, and there’s no in depth feedback because people are tired of 2 expansions worth of ignored feedback so they’re just quitting instead. And given general consensus about the game, I’m definitely more inclined to believe that. Giving feedback and constructive criticism hasn’t gotten people anywhere, so I don’t blame anyone for just…calling it quits.
200+ days from 9.0 to 9.1 and the result was…what we got, I don’t find that surprising at all. Not that this is any indication, but my 20 man raid group all bailed long before 9.1 because nothing this patch would make up for 200 days of no content.
There’s definitely a video game you can play. I can log in and play M+ and play the raids and do Torghast and do a number of things in the game. “No game”… this isn’t Playstation 3.
In fact, my biggest concern right now is being in a situation where Blizzard cuts the patch short before I can do what I want to get done. Literally still trolling around in Heroic because the set bonuses have us focused on farming up gear rather than progging Mythic. It’s a much different situation than 9.0.
It just seems strange to me. Everyone is playing the previous patch that has a bunch of issues, but as soon as 9.1 comes out and fixes a lot of the issues… everyone quits the game? It doesn’t feel like 2 and 2 go together in that way. You’d think people would want to play the game when it was good and not play when it is bad, but you’re suggesting the opposite.
Agreed. There are so many complainers and moaners here…:bellulites and asmonewbs, as they are known for the leaders who personify their toxity, over-emotionality, ignorance of facts that it seems the game, with a surging population, is shedding its skin. The toxic players are falling off and now the game can move on without them.
To my eyes it’s a mixture of people left and also what new is there to even complain about? It’s all the same pretty much since shadowlands came out. At least flying has arrived.
I also think it’s a sign of bad things, WoD was a lot like this. Like a big blow up and then just hanger ons that just is waiting for the next expansion pretty much.
