Really shocked you didn’t include an actual seasonal rewards to do M+ aside from the ego flex of IO. Although I know Blizz said they would include one in the future but no actual timestamp.
I really miss Challenge modes for this sole reason. It would give me more incentive to push again than get my weekly in. Especially since raiding has become less attractive to me over the years.
Every single Blizzard employee gets to post on the forums and exist in social media without fear of getting fired.
No more AMAs on reddit. Do them here. With your own custom software.
Game director makes a monthly “state of the game” post to show us they’re human. This will soften (and allow for more digestable) fan feedback.
Designate a handful of fan concierges from “trusted” streamers, content producers, etc. similar to the MVP system and give them exclusive access to post their content with sticky posts and varying access levels to accommodate their needs
In other words, empower your content-producing fanbase directly.
Why? Do you mean for leveling? It’s a great feature to me, makes me quest wherever I feel like (somewhat)
Rest of the post, I mostly agree. Gear vendors would be great. It’s one thing I really despise in the PvP experience. Let me spend currency and buy whatever piece of gear I want, please and thank you.
New narrative director. Preferably a neutral one who can resist the urge to make self inserts.
New lead game designer. Preferably one who wont isolate the game from players at large like it’s his personal Elitist Jerks guild.
Speaking of him, only one pathfinder. It’s a good idea but if it can’t be completed within a day of max level it’s excessive and Ion is being a petty jerk because almost nobody agreed with his “no flying” crap.
Return artifacts and legendaries.
Return talent trees.
Return fluff and flavor abilities.
Dissolve factions AFTER Tyrande gets her justified vengeance on preferably Sylvanas and her loyalists. I’m mad but i don’t really want to lump the whole horde together.
Make real alternative endgames.
Bring back tier.
Revert from timegates to grinds with the Cataclysm tabard system for people who want to grind dungeons.
I remember when professions had a lot to offer. Especially the player made gear that was supposed to help you bridge the gap between dungeons and raids. You could make a pretty penny making that stuff. I remember making a killing with my Blacksmithing by creating ICC pattern drops. Thankfully my guild at the time didn’t make you give up a loot roll for pattern drops, just required you to have said trade skill maxed so you could immediately use it.
People who hate scaling hates freedom. You can’t take my freedom from me.
But I also with the world as a whole was slightly more dangerous.
Maybe, maybe, make combat slightly slower. It was weird going back to auto attacking at first, in classic, but in combat I can really feel every hit and crit when they land. They are very satisfying.
