With this being a seasonal mode, I wonder if it was intentional by Blizz to kill any sense of “full hype” so that they can roll out a future fine-tuned version of “SOD” (or whatever you want to call it) based on whatever learnings they garnered from the current state of SOD… Maybe? No?
nah but they’re really phoning it in 
i do think they want to try something far simpler for the next iteration of seasonal. i’m actually cautiously optimistic that they will realize they need to be extremely conservative with the changes.

Doubt it was intentional, but in hindsight it definitely feels inevitable. From the moment Blizzard forced the Classic Dev Team to develop Cata Classic and SoD side by side, we were screwed in the long run.
Should have spun off an SoD team the moment they saw how popular Phase 1 was, and then transitioned that team into a dedicated Classic+ team.
We always knew SoD was seasonal and not meant to last, so I don’t believe for a second that they intentionally killed it. Because at this point, SoD’s mess will probably tarnish any version of permanent Classic+ they release in the future.

SoD was screwed even before Cata Classic. The SoD developers have no clue how to come up with good ideas that are balanced for PvE and PvP. Whoever the clown was that said “Let’s make something called Decoy Totem for shamans and give them a chance to double proc lava burst where both can crit!”

And you’re an odd supporter.
using the /who list, i can see crusader strike has a bit over 2000 alliance players online rn at nearly midnight east, not bad
Makes sense.
Day before the patch, i imagine it spikes alot.
Whatever helps us get to a fresh era season faster is fine with me.
Close but not quite.
The next version will not be fine tuned. It’ll just be hyped and “fresh” to draw in more subs when they need it most.
The rest is accurate.
This would hinge upon the idea that this dev team can fine tune anything.
Which they can’t. So your theory falls apart.
