You don’t play the game in a way that you would be affected by these changes. You blame others for your inability or unwillingness to participate. You try and make excuses. You just want to argue, but you’re so uninformed that arguing with you is impossible because you are speaking from 0 experience. Discourse is pretty much impossible with someone who thinks a baseless opinion matters in any way.

You are not making any sense.
I said I would start doing it. You saying I don’t. Like you are trying to deflect and doing a poor job of it.
I said I would start doing said content if community was better, and these ideas I think would shift that. Your lack of reading comprehension is the problem here. I clearly said it was my opinion but you clearly don’t understand what that means. sighs
I haven’t watched content creators since halfway through bfa, and I can tell you how big a mistake it is. The covenant system isn’t fun, it’s bad. Not just for “the top 1%” like is said in the current strawman the forums trolls try to push, but for everyone.
Them releasing a horrendous, player unfriendly system and refusing to even try to fix the numerous problems that make it bad, already looks bad on them.
It has been killing the game. Slowly albeit, but steadily. Why do you think they spent half an expac reworking the failed azerite system (that they were told in beta was bad btw)? Because enough subs dropped off that they came to their senses. Covenants will be no different. The only problem is the more this happens the more people permanently drop off.

You have completely failed to grasp the point of the complaints, op
It’s not about how much of an mmo the system makes, it’s not about pugging complications, it’s not about swapping them per boss
These decisions
Abilities, Cosmetics, Weeklies, Story
Do not belong with one another in this way
Nothing about the covenant abilities screams “this needs to be a faerie boy power, it’s so specific to them”, they just colored a new ability blue and named it “faerie stomp”
They only did this because they, as admitted by Ion himself this week, don’t know how to make the choice more meaningful otherwise

This is the crux of the issue. You feel entitled to other people’s groups and when they deny you, you attack the system that you blame for your getting denied. And the community for having the gall to say no to you. Like I said, really concerned that you’re an adult.

Show me another mmorpg that has a system as horrendous as covenants and I’ll believe you. Until then, I’ll believe that no game community would encourage a dev to release a system as player unfriendly as covenants.

If you play Holy, Prot and Ret all in one day that’s not Blizzards problem, that’s a personal problem.
A 24 hour CD would make it optimal for people not abusing just spamming Covenants every hour or pull you do.
“But just make covenants cosmetic based”, that would just make it another boring rep grind.
I was unaware wanting to play the whole game was a problem. Interesting.

What a crappy, spiteful thing to say

It sorta is when it comes to either balance, and or limiting content. You can’t make a choice that matters without power tied to it.
An rpg is about rp. Rp matters in an rpg. Tying player power to an rp choice makes the actual rp matter less.

silly logic power and rp choice can go hand to hand. It happens in rpgs all the time. Trying to say it matters less because a power is tied is wrong as I dont know what.
But if I want to rp as one covenant but the other is better for power, that’s a problem no?
Says… who?
Locking power to it is the absolutely laziest way to make it meaningful especially when the writing doesn’t back it up.

because power matters in the world? It is not lazy it is smart design. and Blizzard made the stance it is the main focus of the expansion.
Which is more of a meaningful choice.
- Everyone gets to pick for what covenant they like the theme of
- Some people pick for power, some people pick for theme reasons.
There are a dozen ways they could have made picking a covenant choice more interesting rather than lazily slapping power behind it. You know this because we’ve discussed it before.
Instead of me fully being able to commit to one covenant on my main shaman, He’s going to feel like more or less a mercenary for their covenant until another gets buffed/nerfed and I’ll move over.
If it was up to me I’d have all my shamans Kyrian because i like their theme.

In most games I play a repec is at a minimum a gold sink or time sink. You have to go see x character at x location and ask him to wipe your mind etc. It has to make sense. IMHO being able to change spec should come with some mechanic to make it meaningful in gear and choices.
Who are you upstaging, exactly, and where? Your BfA history and achievements certainly don’t paint the same story that you’re peddling here. It just makes you come off as petty, for no real reason, mind you, when all people are asking for is player power to not be tied to covenants.
