What are the chances of AP not being in the next xpac?

I mean we already hated this pointless grind twice now. But will it be back for a 3rd time?

We can hope they will axe it. But it seems like the devs are hell bent on a pointless endless grind that rewards people for not playing the game.

They will always be a carrot at the end of the stick…op :smiley:

About zero.

Blizzard is REALLY stuck on it, for some reason.

I bet it is “the magical boot”, next time.

Does this mean the next expansion is about punting gnomes ??

I’ll pre-order the collector’s edition now itself :+1:

Close to 0%, thats like the devs asking to be fired for low MAU.

Bellular had a decent idea in a video. Rather than it being AP, make the carrot on a stick being a grind to get bonus loot or something. Like a max level experience bar that works like paragon caches.

Doesn’t feel punishing and doesn’t feel 100% necessary. Will keep people working towards doing stuff for the bonuses.

My magic 8 ball says there’s a 100% chance of an infinitely grindable progression system in every expansion released in the future.

If they are smart it won’t be. People are really starting to show AP fatigue. Honestly I don’t think it will be in the next xpac. However I also have no doubt they will have come up with some other new system that will effectively take it’s place.

The problem isn’t the AP system itself. It’s the rewards earned through the AP system. Let’s see what they have in store for 8.2 before we condemn something common to every MMO in the world.

AP is just a version of “earn points - spend points on character perks” system.

I think my biggest problem is that gear has become more interesting than my character itself. The rotation and talent system is so boring these days.

I’m going to die if AP 3.0 is we have to earn AP to use talents. LOL.

Some variation of it is all but guaranteed.

I really hope they just get rid of it. I never had to be motivated to log in every day but that AP grind has the complete adverse effect on me. I don’t wanna play because of it sometimes. And I largely ignore it, which is why my neck is only 42 or 43.

I miss a new expansion being: Log in. Get max level. Get geared. Get raid ready. Log in for raid. Enjoy time on alts, or pvping for fun. Enjoy full internal toolkit without having to unlock other crap.

Unless there is a major uproar in the next year, I would say 0%.

Now if they make it even easier, that is another story.

Couldn’t agree more.

but thats the thing. thier is really no reason even if motivated to log daily and get it im the same level on my neck. ive never once went after AP. ive never done the weekly for AP. its so far in the backround of importance its alnost pointless.

i mean there are thoose that do every WQ daiy weekly etc. but its for no reason really. maybe only and a big maybe there if you are trying for world first does it maybe matter
