Will Alliance Players Quit Due To BfA?

Why would blue players want to quit?


Well, a lot of the reasons Reignac listed.

Also poor gameplay loops and unsatisfying reward structure. D'ya see these robes I'm wearing? Been wearing them for going on three months now, and I've probably disenchanted about eight higher ilevel robes because they didn't have the Preheat trait, which is pretty much required for Fire to be even half decent.

And I'm tired. I'm tired of the multi-billion dollar corporation that employs dozens of professionals in their field who have been making this game for fourteen years(hereafter referred to as "Blizzard," but assume I'm typing out that entire spiel) never being able to get class and item balance right.

I'm tired of having to yell at Blizzard to not make basic mistakes like putting Night Elves who died in Darnassus on the shores of Darkshore.

I'm tired of having to spend a !@#$ing month yelling at Blizzard to coach them into making a scenario that's supposed to be and was fully written to be an Alliance "awesome moment" into something that's even halfway decent and not just one writer's fanfic about his pet character. And even then, in its current half-decent state, presumably said writer throws in an immature dig at us and a free toy to the Horde in order to soothe his butthurt.

For that matter, I'm tired of pet characters from Blizzard in general, whether that be Thrall, Natty, Sylvie, Jaina, Baine or Anduin.

The only balm I have at the moment is that the change of CEO seems like it may have effected a change in culture at Blizzard. Suddenly we're seeing quests being rewritten to accommodate feedback. Suddenly surveys are going out to people who have quit. Suddenly 8.1 is put back into the oven for a bit more baking and improvement.

My core complaint comes down to "Blizzard doesn't give a %^-* so why should i?" Right now my sub is set to run out the week 8.1 is released. I may gamble an extra $15 to give it a shot, but Blizzard has to impress the !@#$ out of me between now and December 11th.
