Not not anymore not compared to WOTLK because its a dead aspect of the game.
Disagree, streamers are marketing tools. Dragonflights main issue is marketing imo. You can hate on streamers all you want but saying they are not worth anything with getting people to buy things is just ignorant.
Companies pay streamers millions to play games on release for this reason.
Also I dont know why you are struggling to understand why having somebody that makes a video that is popular in the community voicing issues with it has less value than you on the forums. Venrukis issues he posted from Shadowlands got fixed, he has far more reach than you do.
Even if that were the case, it is fundamentally different than someone with an audience having sway over blizzards design choices.
Venruki could be a hermit with no online presence, who wins AWC every year, who is related to blizzard lead pvp devs and able to easily influence pvp development direction and my previous comment would still stand. Him being popular and making videos would have no bearing on your hypothetical here.
First of all, I don’t hate streamers, never said anything as such. Nor did I ever say they aren’t worth anything or suggest they are not valuable for marketing. The only display of ignorance here is you not understanding the point I made.
Well i disagree, regardless any good game developer worth there salt dont take in recommendations from people that give feedback, But they do listen to issues people have. I can guarantee you that his video will have more impact on calling out issues in the game like MMR and rewards than your forum post.
Argued this before but… WoW pvp would benefit from switching to a track system where even failure still works you (slowly) up towards rewards.
At the moment, getting into rated play is like hitting a wall. You’re going to be farmed, you might be mocked, and 99% of the playerbase will simply quit - as they feel their time is being wasted. Feeling that they, no matter how slowly, might have a chance to earn the mount, the title, etc? Would help. A lot.
I think i disagree. While we might value his opinion, he doesn’t give a kobolds butt about yours or my opinion. Its all an illusion. A character. Im sure hes a nice enough guy though. But he definitely doesn’t represent me anyway.
You think he doesnt want more bad players to play? He gets paid more when more people are playing PVP. As time goes on and less people play wow and wow pvp his revenue goes down.
His issues in the video are rewards and inflation, what about that doesnt represent you
