What exactly would they be doing on their alts?
It seems most of the complaints are by people not doing the repeatable content like dungeons and raids even on their main much less an alt.

I think what the players are saying here Blizzard: We want a return to the full throttle down an open highway linear gear progression. Please stop adding potholes to the highway. When we reach the end of the full throttle down an open highway with our car(main) we are going to the garage(character select screen) and taking a new whip(alt) straight down that highway again(progression); and then after that whip, we are taking another whip and another whip down the highway. We are even hitting up the customization shop(specializations), to re run down that same highway with a new feel.
Players feel like they are slowly going down that highway in a rusty old beater braking for potholes and pulling over because the rusty old beater needs repairs etc…
You have like 12 classes in the game with 2-3+ specs each. That gives an insane replayability and fresh air value non-stop.

might as well be an open world Torghast then. I haven’t done any real research cause I’ve been busy but people have been talking about additional content being released in the coming weeks within ZM. I don’t know if that is WQs or what.
I’m being bad trying to do school work and use the forums lol
I dont want to be count choculas alopecia-ed cousin though.

Mostly grinding Covenant renown at least for me along with The box of many things for torghast.
bc this is minimalist design meant to wrap up a dead project that got #metoo’d and now there is no one who is ONE willing to work on the game or TWO has budget to tie up this dead project and now need to wrap it all up quickly for a bottom line profit before its officially in microsofts hands to let it die to be more diverse and inclusive the second time around

You have a good way of putting things that’s for sure. I just really hope the designs get taken more seriously for systems unless its all just another way for players to pay another month sub and since I have been playing it just feels like that is the case.

Spent 3000 anima on RNG loot boxes to get a weapon from the vendor and still don’t have one. They need to think things through

The content is not time gated. It’s a staggered release.
It does seem pretty empty considering that it just came out. Especially since Korthia was pretty busy until the end.
Casuals can’t really gear up effectively. And hardcores just want rep for their double legendaries eventually.
When you divorce player power from a zone, you divorce most players from that zone.

I agree that everything should be released ASAP rather than being staggered.
But I disagree with you about the zone and npc look and feel, I love it and it’s probably my new favorite zone in terms of aesthetics.

oh my god its not just me, I always get like 100 yards away and then it dies
hey man. they have to timegate the story and power progression unlocked by it. because reasons.
At least it’s not that abomination of a Disneyland-on-Acid zone, Mechagon.
That one forced me out of the game for the rest of that XPAC (I went to Eve Online for a bit until the next one came out).
The cypher system is double gated… a currency you need to farm by “hunting” “rare” spawns and chests. then when you do get enough of it some of these advancements are locked behind a timer some for a week. Either gate content behind a timer or a currency, not both.

Well, I just tried out the new zone, and I quite enjoyed the bit I did. But I don’t have time to do much, so I don’t feel any restrictions. I guess it helps when you have too many other things outside of WoW that need doing.

You should report these and they’ll fix them 
You guys can’t say that you want something and expect the next patch OR the next xpac to be it. It takes time to develop that stuff so best case I would hope for is 10.1

The campaign is gated, likely because finishing a certain part is part of the flying unlock. You can get like 99% of the way to flying on the first day of the patch so the likely outcome of that design is people are going to go for the 99%. The final 1% comes in the time gated part of the campaign.
I’m not a fan of time gating, but isn’t this exactly the same way TV shows work?
The entire seasons is filmed, edited, and ready to show, but they gate it weekly on TV despite that.
