Nobody is attacking tryhards for doing what they are doing

in previous posts you have said

@Ràlph-barthilas

if the high end who want full homogenization so they can compete against each other with the same build, these people can go on another game

@Ràlph-barthilas

maybe you would want to play a game with real focus on skill such as RTS, FPS, mobas where rngs,

@Ràlph-barthilas

Some people on the high end who wont put the effort to level 4 of each can leave

However, you are right:

@Ràlph-barthilas

Blizzard as you ve seen has been putting more things to do

But not for the reason you think, Blizzard is also trying to keep people playing the game so they time gate instead of letting people play then leave. Also, MMOrpgs require endgame content to thrive, it’s why many in the past have had issues and WoW has thrived, because of the raiding scene, PvP, and later mythic +. WoW still maintains to this day one of the best combat systems, raids, and endgame content. WoW has always been competitive, its just more public now.

what makes it an issue is when these people try to ruin the game for everyone else for the sake of their minmaxing.

Did you ever think that maybe, just maybe people don’t like restrictions in a game that’s been opened up more and more each expansion? Not the “tryhards” fault that blizzard introduced the wowtoken, making it easier to get gold. Not the “tryhards” fault that Codex’s and Tomes where created to try and make inscription worth while when glyphs went away.

the stat side of RP in RPG is the ability to find your own builds which you gravitate to and try to improve them and be better at a specific thing

Freedom to choose does the same thing. Until Blizzard actually makes a decent story that fits their own lore, and doesn’t make everyone in the community roll their eyes at the most obvious plot twists. RPG will remain behind MMO for WoW.
