I see strong bias in your post. Got to meet in the middle to meet the wants of the population. Most of your post is about raiding.
Where is the balance between the wants of the majority?
And, the most annoying part is your connection to political garbage with slogans.
10/29/2018 11:03 AMPosted by SolarwyndsI think BfA needs more players that are less demanding of getting things there way. That would definitely retain players.
You mean players should have really low standards? How are they going to find millions of players whose standards are so low they don't care if the game is fun or compelling, and they're okay with there being no end content for casuals?
OP: You are asking for a lot of big changes to the game. Even if they wanted to implement them, all this would have to wait until another expansion.
I'd quit over those changes you want.
Flying right now as step one.
10/29/2018 11:12 AMPosted by AsmoLet us fly in 8.1. That's more than enough time for us to be 'immersed' on the ground.
They have to milk time out of more dedicated players somehow. Especially with so many people leaving, which is undeniable. Any little nick-and-dime thing they can do. Turn the world into an arcade slot machine and rig it; keep lowering the probabilities of desired outcomes.
Bring back decent gold missions so I have a reason to level my alts. I'm not asking for much.
1.-Get rid of azerite asap, the system is a lost cause.
2.-revert the GCD changes.
3.-Bring back tier gear so raiding is worth doing.
4.-properly balance the classes.
5.-Make flying available since 8.1
6.-Make farming gold less grueling, people that used to only raid are finding themselves excluded because consumables are ridiculously expensive and gold super scarce.
Make it fun again, Jesus Christ, does Activision's "vision" of the game is to make it as unfun as humanly possible? right now, the game reeks of laziness and contempt for it's dwindling player base.

I feel ya, but it’s putting a band aid on a mortal wound.

You must not be familiar with Solar, you’re literally describing her in your first bit. Wish people you ignored didn’t show up in quoted posts...

Not anymore.
10/29/2018 12:16 PMPosted by Honkus10/29/2018 10:43 AMPosted by Nicho- LFD / LFR Removed entirely or at least reduced to only a browser finding system, but not scaling metrics
Theres a crap load of players that will leave if thats removed10/29/2018 10:43 AMPosted by Nicho- Removal of raid scaling sizes. Move to something similar to the Ulduar model, but not 10/25 scaling. Pick a size and stick with it. Don't change sizes as that breaks guilds apart.
Yes remove the most popular raid change since the game started10/29/2018 10:43 AMPosted by Nicho- For !@#$ sakes, remove all in game shop mechanisms
pointless thing to remove just to bring back the 5 people that left over the in game shop10/29/2018 10:43 AMPosted by Nicho- No Sharding. Just consolidate servers to 2500-4000 until you have functioning communities, and take away ALL cross realm nonsense.
Take away sharding so you want servers to be unstable and long !@# queue times to log oh what a great idea10/29/2018 10:43 AMPosted by Nicho- Bring back quality quest lines for attunement
no one like them10/29/2018 10:43 AMPosted by Nicho- Scale 5-man progressive loot to make sense for the content. Stop with all the catch up crap
out-door content is the catch up stuff the 5 man stuff not so much its just an alternative progression path
You literally believe all these changes were universally loved? Absurd thing to say as the game has lost about 10 million subs as they were implemented.
Half those things are so insane that I'm sure Blizzard would do them. Yeah, get rid of LFR, get rid of raid scaling, get rid of flight points, come on let's just keep adding wood to the fire.
They messed up, I joined this expansion for the trailers, for It made It seem to be a PvP expansion like none of the expanses before hand, so I resubbed jumping Into the leveling where I saw not one 1 alliance enemy until 119, once 120 you now have to turn on your PVP while on a (PVP server) which this Is absolute nonsense In my mind for a "war game". This story and NPC fighting Is also crap, NPCs clutter and look like the monster from the movie "The Thing" where ever you go and In Dungeons still. The only spirit left In the game In my opinion Is In the artwork done. OH YEAH PVP CONTENT IS MINIMAL, which I bet half your subs and spenders play for player VS player. Good bye Azeroth.

Maybe not for the couple million left, but it might bring back a lot of the over 100 million individual accounts created over time.
Ion's resignation

I mean, I get that you're just whining, but if you wanted to actually provide useful feedback, you're going to have to be more specific than this.
A different dev team.
Semper Fi!

TBH I just copied stuff from other people, but I think this is fairly self-explanatory. For example for a vanilla crafting gear was BiS for a long time.
There's so many varied things that people don't like at this point that realistically I don't think there is anything they can do except hope the next expansion reverses course.
As a software professional, while I have given some ideas recently, it's sometimes a difficult proposition to provide good ideas for free - only to be charged back for them later.
The clear fact is that Blizzard need to do something. Only a couple of months into the expansion they're already offering a limited FREE 'trial' game time to get people back.
My wife and I have been playing with in game gold, but I think both of us are borderline ready to cancel our subs.
WQs are just unimaginative, Warfronts are barely engaging - three voice-overs in the last three weeks in exactly the same setting. Island Expeditions are just sad. Join an LFR raid and Taloc stands right in front of you, waiting - yawn! Kill him and walk through the next door, boss right there - yawn.

I totally disagree with your follow-up! We've all been around long enough to know what professions could be, and what they currently are - there's no need for 'us' to re-re-design the game for them.
