Why is WoW turning into a Korean MMO?

What stance have they had for six for years?

Blizzard has never stuck to systems, some evolve every expansion some longer. If the game hadened evolved past the grind fest classic is it would have been long gone imo.

Oops missed this.

Because there was a lot of other content to do. Because only a small portion of the playerbase actually raided, they spent money on other content. In particular, professions and rep grinds.

If you removed the grinds you want right now, it would not work with the game as it is structured.

Which goes back to the reducing about of money spend on dungeons and raids.

The new essences for patch 8.3 have anti corruption resistance. The grind is real in patch 8.3.

The pruning was being referenced there.

The mission table says hi.

I know exactly what’s coming. And it is exactly what I expect out of an mmo.

Nope.

I have never seen anything like this in any western MMO. It is taking the worst aspects of Korean MMOs without bringing forth the positive aspects.

less than an hour a week per character is a grind now?

That probably wont last more than a month, realistically 75 to get the 4th essence slot will be done soon after release maybe a week or 2

That will suck and your not exactly wrong but most people will be fine if they cant get the absolute best essence

Also nooooo we are not even close to a Korean MMO grind

Not to be insulting, but you have low standards if you think this patch/expansion is acceptable work from Blizzard.

AP is no longer a hard cap in patch 8.3 as they changed it to a soft cap. AP will continue be rewarded well after you finally reach the soft cap.

You know some people who have played it on the PTR actually like it. I wouldn’t assume everyone will hate it.

Most of the feedback is against patch 8.3 design. But yes please let this dumpster fire hit live servers.

Only way there is a restructuring of the current retail team by having this hit the live servers. The classic team may be forced to take over which wouldn’t surprise me.

You left off that part

Because it didn’t evolve.

The mission table is very different from how it was in WOD.

It isn’t to my liking but I generally don’t like things most other people in this game like anyway.

Literally the best thing for you to do, is just do the parts you like and their participation numbers will show them what content they should be spending resources on. Far too many people complain about these things yet send the message to blizzard that the content is good by doing it.

And no unsubbing isn’t really the answer either - they need participation or lack thereof numbers.

Indeed, it devolved.

What is the content you like?

There isn’t anything to like with this system.

Weekly caches are going to be 100% corrupted gear. Like legit there is no way to avoid all of this.

In WOD it was an integral part of the garrison and progressed to the shipyard.

In legion it became part of the class hall story.

In bfa it’s largely part of the campaign against opposing faction.

It’s evolved to be part of the flavor of the expansion.

Last I heard you can just get rid of that bonus/corrupt - deforge it so to speak.

If you don’t like the system just do that.
