Why is Blizzard so scared of vendors?

Do they think we’ll get lost trying to find them? Do they think we’ll just end up buying the wrong trinket or ring and blaming them? It’s been almost 4 years without vendors. like what gives homie?

It’s the vendors who are afraid.

Because they don’t know how to create items with the proper stats. If they just gave us PvP vendors with every possible stat combo for each armor type & slot PvEers would cry.

Which means they would have to design a vendor with a few scattered stats on each piece. Which we also know doesn’t work because the conquests rewards are also super limiting and crappy on a spec by spec basis. Tons of crit on PvP gear that is mostly useless for 90% of specs, GJ blizzard!

Then there’s the problem of do they bring back set effects? Do they bring back PvP scaling? Do they bring back resilience? Will PvPers be able to queue for raids in PvP gear? What should PvP trinkets offer for raid viability?

They can’t even figure out how to create fun and balanced specs. There is no way they can create vendors.

I remember when my fire mage had to take haste/mastery bracers because there weren’t any crit options. I thought to myself, “Should blizzard eliminate these fearful vendors? Could anyone defend the idea of there not being a crit option for bracers? Surely, there is a highly convoluted RNG solution to my unforgivable conundrum.”

Well, that explains why PvPers are spending so much time in mythic dungeons and raids… They’re trying to locate the vendors.

Who’s your most favourite warrior ever big doze? :thinking:

No point in them not being here at this point. It’s obvious the entire PvP base wants them, it just goes against their entire RNG Titanforged system.

Hopefully they rewrite their garbage system next expansion.

there are only three top warriors i follow in wow. Swifty, Bajheera, and Pilav.

Zyzz doesn’t get an honorable mention?

they just don’t want to admit that the conquest points and vendor for like 1,750 points per weapon or w/e and 900 for a wrist was a better system.

They want rng instead of making their community happy and what they want. They said it before on a Q&A stream.

Prolly cuz there is no pvp stat anymore, so the pvers would absolutely flip if pvpers could target gear they wanted and if that gear scaled with rating…

You could to easily take pvp gear into pve which is what blizzard is trying to avoid.

In blizzards eyes its ok to force pvpers to pve but not the other way around.

Blizzard hates going back on design decisions, even ones that have negatively impacted the enjoyment of players. Reforging, Have Group Will Travel, Talent Trees, and so many more features were lost over the years and haven’t returned because Blizzard really doesn’t like to 180 on design decisions.

do not be fooled by the post itself, the op is still dozer and as such, does not get your upvotes

keep on keeping on, travelers

i liked being able to choose,…haste gear or mastery gear …they both worked but even with that little change you could alter the way you played. But i got to choose. Same with altering gear stats in mop…was my choice. I felt it i was still able to warcraft.
