Time gating has got to stop. Basically killing this game

Na you can find them im not in the mood to search through forums rn.

Don’t forget the pretend threats to quit the game since so and so game has so much more content and better content.

actually i can’t find them, as i previously stated:

these posts don’t exist. i have never seen anyone post them.

Yeep, that’s always the issue, right? If they come out with something, then “it’s time gated” because everything they do come out with is expansion only, most of the time.

Then if they don’t come up with anything: “I’m bored! There’s nothing to do blizz, help me!”

Yeppo, you just can’t win.

It’s almost like the game is so vast that the playerbase is so vastly different and playing this game for different reasons, but yee.

No wins at all.

They aren’t. They’re only a disgrace to newer players coming into the expansion after it’s been out many months. If that’s the case: what did you expect bro. It’s like the person who shows up to an event that’s got a scheduled time start and end, and they show up for the last 30 minutes then when the event ends they go “that’s it? lameeee” Yeah, you weren’t there for the full event bro, you were late.

Yeppo, another “ya think ya do, but ya don’t” thing blizz loves to tell the playerbase. Players are like a bunch of crybabies, honestly.

“Blizz I want professions to be better!” Well, ok, here they’re better but they’re still not relevant. “Blizz I want professions to be meaningful for the entire raid tiers and expansion.” Well, ok, here you go. “Wait, this ain’t what I wanted.” Yes it is. You asked for it, you got it. It’s relevant and meaningful again for the entire expansion.

The simple solution is: don’t start the expansion 75% of the way through, then. Either go play a different game until you can come in at the beginning or simply don’t worry about catching up fully. Either way that’s not their fault anyone else started it 75% of the way through, that’s that person’s fault instead.

You said you havent seen not that you cant find them.

Not using forums long enough apparently.

I guess you just suck at browsing, you’ll get used to it bro.

Maybe check forums once next season arrives if you fail at finding them.

Exactly, players are like children and children need boundaries.

Well I did say

You are welcome to prove me wrong right now by providing a link to one of these posts.

Until you do that, I will be correct.

Thanks again, have a lovely day, friend :slight_smile:

Except you aren’t correct, as multiple people already tried explaining you.
Not knowing how to use search doesn’t mean you are correct, quite opposite.
Look for beef somewhere else, low bait trolls are easy to detect. :wink:

Even now with all the gating some players complain that there is nothing to do , so ! But it is true too much gating and often stupid gating ,meaning just to slow players a very frustrating way to keep players busy .They are the devs it is to them to come with a game that players will love ,The number of players who left the game since the day we were over ten millions to what we are now has shrink for some reasons and time gating would be the first .My opinion

players asked for professions to be meaningful, and they got monkey pawed once again… I know you want to defend your precious Blizzard but good gods man, get the smelling salts and wake up from this delusion.

Time gating is designed for action RPGs that have seasons.

Forcing WoW into seasons and heavily time gating is making WoW retail a miserable experience.

WoW is a MMORPG and players should be allowed to play at a pace at their own choosing.

hey hey… I try to play… I got some stuff…

if i am not correct, then you can easily prove me wrong by linking one of these so-called “very common” posts.

until you do this, i am correct. have a lovely day, my wonderful friend :slight_smile:

I only agree with the professions part. At this point there should be some way to just get all the skill points necessary to max out a profession.

Yes, remove time gating, I look forward to playing 48 hours straight at start of season and gearing up with conquest points and slicing through noobs in BGs like butter and laughing myself silly.

Oh wait, that wouldn’t be fair.

Yeah people don’t know what they are talking about…

Time gating encourages healthier play habits and keeps things fair for those that want to play a lot but not no life it. Some people may want to chainsmoke but that doesn’t mean everyone should have to in order to keep up.

Nothing in life is fair.

Because not everyone does everything. Some tunnel vision things. And then its back to “I have nothing to do, because I did all of the thing I wanted”

That’s a pretty weak argument, IMO. Restricting people’s gameplay does not seem like a productive solution to player boredom. Especially for legacy content. If someone wants to farm Onyxia 500 times in a day, we should let them. What is the point of restricting people’s gameplay, especially for items that have no impact on player power? Just because “it’s always been this way”?
