Having been in World of Warcraft since Warlords of Draenor, I have been around through some of but not all of Blizzard’s high’s and lows.
I never got to experience MoP as it was initially released and really never had an interest in Classic WoW, I liked being on the live servers with so many other players.
Combine that with the culture of pandaria matching some of my favorite culture from IRL, I was very excited for when they announced MoP Remix.
Seeing the leveling and the ability to gear an entirely new way, experience raid progression again but with a twist, quest through zones, get all the cosmetics I missed, etc? I really did want to play it a lot.
I got into the content about 10 days late cause I wanted to ensure the systems were more or less ironed out cause we all know how day 1 patches of content are… And when I got into it? I was super enthusiastic about it.
I really was excited to go nuts in this new content for the next three months.
Fast Forward to when I started getting into raids.
I felt powerful, very powerful. Because I was, I mean the scaling for lowbies is insane with this content! But then I started getting into more and more raids on a destruction warlock.
That is when everything changed, I started seeing bosses being deleted in 3s flat and was confused. I mean 3s isn’t even enough to get a proper chaos bolt off most of the time due to having to set it up with the DoT.
So I looked into what happened… and I came across one conclusion.

People had been exploiting and even though their cloak was nerfed? It did not effect the ilevel of gear.
This caused a severe imbalance and sent a single message:
Exploit while and when you can, cause blizzard will not care if you do.
And that is not the type of game I wish to support, couple that with the forums decision to flag any post threatening their precious exploited gear and this?
And I am sorry blizz but you just lost me.
I tried to love the content, but you killed it.
