Okay… so I guess we’re just going to keep missing the mark with these grindy FOMO events.
What even is this event? Classic Mists on steroids for a limited time, like why? And you have to re-level a character from scratch to experience it… how is that different from just choosing to level in Pandaria with Chromie Time with a sprinkle of Timewalking Mists thrown in?
I really don’t want to be constantly negative but it’s really hard not to when you’re constantly throwing rehashed old content at us and calling it new while making it a grind fest to boot. Why is it so hard to let go and admit there will be periods of content droughts between major content updates? Why is it so important to keep people chained to the game with faux content instead of letting players go out and explore other games? Oh wait, it’s money isn’t it…?
I almost never cancel my subscription even when I am not actively playing the game, partly because $15 a month means nothing to me and partly because I want to continue supporting a game I’ve played for nearly two decades, but I have to say all these half baked and transparent efforts to to keep that subscription money from drying up lately is making me want to cancel just to make a point and to show my displeasure with these tactics.
Either release genuinely new content or don’t but don’t try to pull the wool over people’s eyes. It’s a really bad look especially when the public is actively looking for improvements following the Microsoft merger and change in leadership. All of this is coming off as petty money grabbing and I don’t like it. Not one bit.
