* The State of Azeroth is in Disarray

How about discussing why nothing ever gets fixed?

These were just some of the top/earliest search results in the forums I could find examples of these long-standing issues that never get addressed regardless of how long they are reported for.

You always try to sweep these things under the rug, but do you think you could for once instead maybe address these issues? It’d be a whole lot cooler if you did

11years of hair clipping too since new player models added in WoW. 10 for Blood Elf cause it took Blizz an extra year somehow?

How long has auto loot been broken now? And transmog/appearance tab making your game crash with DX12? Not sure if those bugs have been around long enough to make your list or not but they are really annoying. :dracthyr_crylaugh:

Stop talking about it and grab a rake, man.

This one is driving me absolutely crazy and makes me extremely bitter.

Once something becomes legacy it either never gets fixed or it takes years (as per your examples).

This is going to be an issue with removing addons. Do you think Blizzard will go back and add their own timers to legacy raids and dungeons? Yeah, me neither.

I really don’t understand how this is a thing. I assume you’re talking about the bug where it sometimes won’t loot the last item. I’m pretty sure this has been the case since auto loot was added.

Addon authors maintained their addons every patch. That’s more than can be said for any system blizzard makes evergreen content.

I thought they meant the more recent bug where it won’t loot anything and you have to click again for the autoloot to function.

Oh that’s also a longstanding bug too. Not new.

Honestly, this thread needs more bumps and upvotes until blizzards addresses it.

If they can’t even keep content working from past xpacs, how are we to believe they will keep working on the needed improvements on these systems and not just say “well at least we tried, there’s something in game, let’s move onto the next focus and abandon upkeep on this too”

Maybe if the game crash and burns enough they’ll finally let content stand up on its own and stop treating it like a mobile game simulator.

Just let me play how and when I want, without trying to make me feel bad for it. They’re hyperfocused on turning all of wow into a mobile game styled choreslop.

I’m not interested in playing more being blocked off, just to be substituted with paying more. I just wonder what it’ll take for them to stop keeping it in its ruined state.

I saw a post from another mmo, gw2 maybe, and they used the words: Polish Pass.

Something like that.

Basically, what that means is they did a pass and polished old content, fixing old issues, touching things up.

Time schedule polish passes Blizz.

It’s like a preventative maitenance schedule, keeps things well oiled and running smooth.

New content is great!

But the old content is great too.

Get on it!

If people genuinely think they won’t abandon the new UI systems the second they can get away with it, then I have one primo-bridge to sell them.

Yes, exactly. This thread needs to be louder to get heard (seen by blizzards unavoidably).

Look at all the new addons they baked in that they now will have to manage and update for every fight they have/add to the game.

The state of the pre-patch event is just more or less proof they don’t learn from past mistakes. Getting really tired of these long-standing bugs that they ignore, avoid taking questions on, and refuse to fix.

Pretty sure this bug for one of Windwalker’s main rotational abilities has been in the game for over 10 years: [Monk] Fists of Fury; Stuck In Combat - #3 by Bevvy-tichondrius

These events are marketing and PR. They aren’t supposed to answer anything of importance. When has Ion answered anything that wasn’t like a lawyer?

Quite literally the only one of the ones you mentioned being a noteworthy issue is the guild permission aspect. Because here’s the simple reality; WoW is one hell of a buggy game, and all of the issues in the game per definition cannot be fixed. Which means prioritizing the ones that matter.

If they were to specifically address each and every bug or issue in the game of no particular noteworthy scale, then there’s quite literally nothing that they could ever do except talk about minor bugs no one cares or even knows about.

Especially not since folks will always immediately then go “But what about X bug” or the like. There are stuff that’s worth talking about because they play a vital role in how the game actually functions (such as the guild permissions), but to address every tiny minuscule and irrelevant thing is just not worth it.

Being complacent in this is part of the problem. Demanding resolution is the only solution.

Except you haven’t demanded anything. What are you going to do?
