Why play right now? Yesterday I had a reason

This is true, if you are decently geared, you wont be seeing upgrades until 54 or 55

@Metrohaha-firetree

You are playing it right now! You just aren’t allowed to level quite yet.

Or do any SLands content it would seem. So it’s pretty much BFA as usual with some minor tweaks to classes. Totally worth the $16.50.

@Xiled-stormrage

Do you own every mount?

Did they bring in new mounts in 9.0? There’s probably a few I’m still missing, but I have better things to do that spawn camp or run whatever raid for that 0.1% drop chance.

@Xiled-stormrage

every piece of transmog?

I have the mog I need.

@Xiled-stormrage

all toons maxed?

Yes, except a loladin and well that’s not going to happen.

@Xiled-stormrage

have a lot of gold?

Do I need a lot of gold? There wasn’t really anything that you needed gold for in BfA outside of some overpriced mounts, and pass on that.

@Xiled-stormrage

have every minion?

What’s a minion? Those things that Warlocks/Hunters use?

@Xiled-stormrage

dabbled in professions? gathering?

/laughs in Belf.

@Xiled-stormrage

visited every piece of content?

Yes, except PvP. I’d had more than enough of BfA content 6 months ago.

@Crucius-eonar

It’s hard to go into “prep my main for SL” mode when you may have 2 1/2 months yet before SL.

That’s part of the issue. We don’t know when SL will drop, so why bother subbing when there’ll probably be the usual couple of days worth of quest chain? Just would have been nice to be given the heads-up by Blizzard instead of “Patch launches today!!!1!”.

@Bhootam-emerald-dream

You’re not entitled to content during a staggered prepatch where blizzard has taken the difficult and costly step (in terms of business risk) of trying to polish an expansion rather than launch it in an unready state.

Here’s the thing though, they’re a multi-billion-dollar company. They’ve had 9 months since the last content drop (and even that felt entirely phoned-in outside of the raid). Those of us who have been around long enough remember when a much smaller team could release more high-quality content at a faster rate.

@Huffpost-skeram

Anyone complaining about this patch should quit the game

Yes, the game would be far superior and work on a tighter schedule with fewer players funding it…

the same company that delayed bc until it was done, you mean? Since I’ve apparently “been around long(er) enough” than you I recall that old Blizzard took pride in delaying projects until they were done or even cancelling them if they didn’t meet their standards. Ghost and Titan being two examples. We are not owed an expansion when we expect it. Do the existing content, wait or play something else. Let blizzard take their time and get it right instead of rushing out yet another expansion à la WoD or BFA on schedule but fundamentally crippled at launch.

[Obei-bloodhoof]

I’m happy they delayed the expansion but we all think maybe they should have also delayed the pre patch until we had something to go with it seeing it destroyed what most of us were happy doing while we waited. This content doesn’t fit the changes and I’m sure it’ll be great in shadowlands but we don’t have that yet so why do this and this alone right now …
