Uh… no? As I said, that should be none of your business. Who are you to lecture others, what they should do during the Season?
Again - no? WoW isn’t just a bit of story and fluff content. I hope you’re not thinking that it is. And people who just want to test out the new patch for a bit won’t even stay longer if the content is gated. They don’t renew their sub anyways.
I would have no problem if Blizzard would allow us to play the patches story in one fell swoop. I have tons of other stuff to do and I haven’t cancelled my sub in… well, I never did.
And the criticism has been always the same. Just because it’s been done for a while now, doesn’t mean it’s great.
But the weekly campaigns were still better than something that’s rep gated.
