The only thing good about this AV queue fix is that people have quit

Thus allowing those who stick around to rank easier?

It’s so demoralizing that a lot of people have completely given up.

Not sure that’s what Blizz would want, but they probably wont figure it out for a few more weeks.

Hell, they barely have a pulse. Might take longer.

A lower population of PVPers on your faction means that ranking will be harder for you, not easier, because the size of the pool per percent will get smaller. So this is bad news bears for everyone.

I’m not suggesting that it’s welcomed at all, but I’m seeing people on the ladder dropping like flies. I’ll probably finish around 15th this week.

You may be a higher standing, but its quite possible for you to end up in a lower bracket if participation is dropping off.

People have finally had it with them. Has-beens.

WC3 is a perfect example.

Diablo 3 is a perfect example.

Cataclysm is a perfect example

WoD is a perfect example

Legion is a perfect Example

And now Classic is a perfect example.

They know their content isn’t as good, they’ve given up. Which is ok because it’ll make room for other companies to come in and steal their Player Base.

Another example of a let down will be Diablo 4 in a few years. Just what it is.

D4 will most likely be the straw that broke the camel’s back for me. If that is a total s**tshow, Blizzard will have lost the last little bit of respect I have for the company.

It’s interesting what it’s doing to Horde games once you get the BG to pop though. People are putting more effort in, where before it was like half and half.

It’s nice to see people working together 90ish% of the time.

I’ve zero games with less than 35 starting ally, that’s a good thing about the fix.

This. It wasn’t even 2 weeks ago when games were launching with 5-15 people. And it was that way for months. And only 3 of those days were the Alliance try-hards actually queuing with the rest of the Alliance instead of segregating themselves out.

In those 3 days there was a meta forming slowly, but since the new premade work-around the Alliance just stopped trying.

Yeah, we took IBGY for a few moments those 3 days…and still lost most games. Something is terribly wrong there and Blizzard is too busy counting their cash to care.

It takes longer than 3 days for a meta to shift, unfortunately. I remember losing for a week straight to the mind-blowing shift of “the Alliance went right instead of left.”

People are releasing that classic population dropping and don’t feel like wasting time getting rank 14 or whatever when in a few months this will be another dying game. It’s like when you quit world of warcraft and find a new mmo and slowly see that new mmo dying why waste anymore time on it. Even worse if you not having fun

I mean they could always redeem themselves. I wouldn’t put it past them to come out with something totally Mind Blowing.

I have objective opinions that may seem hostile, but it’s just the type of person you create when you let someone down enough times.

Considering Oldschool Runescape mobil, and Black Desert mobil, I’m surprised we haven’t heard of some form of WoW mobil. I guess Immortals put a cork in that.

You have to know your fan base.

It’s a careful balance between gaining new players and losing old ones that they face.

I wouldn’t have a major problem with a WoW mobile mini-game that supplements the PC version. The problem is when it supplants the PC version.

I can imagine an alternate future with a WoD style command table mobil game. Especially since Command Table is set up like a crappy mobil game.

Yeah it still baffles me that they were trying to promote Mobile Gaming to a PC Gaming community. Like, don’t they know PC gamers (most) make fun of mobile games? I mean, they had to of seen the Meme’s on PC Master Race floating around.

That’s facts. Unfortunately for them, they tried tending to the New players by implementing Xrealm (something they should have never done) That was their mistake. Putting a new system into an old game that worked fine , essentially broke the game.

The way they picked and chose what they wanted Vanilla to look like, instead of just releasing it as is from start patch , til end patch. Now we have a Vanilla that has so many different patches added into it that it feels more like Looney Toons.

Edit; Which is something they can still remedy.

( I think seasons would be a good thing for Vanilla WoW, similar to the way new Private Servers opened up and people flooded to them, the people that loved the grind and the race, and the random REAL wPvP.)

Yeah Horde is like 110% full retard try hards now, its annoying. We let you have free wins you could at least let us get the LTs, without having 20 horde consumable users exhaust every resource to kill 1 person.
