I mean wth, do you guys like losing subs or something? You cry cry cry about not having enough money to provide servers and every time we turn around your building 100 new servers instead of a more moderate number of them.
I saw how 9/10 of the early classic servers were low/mid while the others were permanently overfilled yet no effort was made to consolidate it because then you might not be able to extort server xfers oh no being one of the only mmo’s with a sub is not enough money for poor us.
Now you want to USE the empty 40 servers 8 seasons of mastery servers in vanilla that you flat REFUSE to merge till you finish killing the game with SoM splitting the userbase as an excuse to not leave 1-4 merged servers up for TBC. Even though you know TBC is massively more popular than vanilla was.
I Paid for this sub endlessly from TBC all the way halfway through WoD killed what it was completely by making it an endlessly treadmill of braindeath and I STOPPED paying for the most part excepting a few months of pandaland till I grew bored of being fried by hunters and rogues in the island of timeless ganker deaths. I have paid for over a year of classic now. I took a break for a few months long enough to see which guilds would make TBC their permanent home. Now I return and before I can even consider giving you a significant amount of money you have already fried all hopes of me ever enjoying the game for a significant amount of time. Well done.
Guess what blizzard, no matter how hard you try, those of us with minds in our head will NEVER want to pay you for an endless rat race. We want a defined END of power creep. Or at the very least a point of reference like in Diablo 3 where you can clearly overcome all but the “endless” obstacles.
You have had the ability for years now to simply make these expacs 2% increase in stat margin which is more than sufficent to allow the competitive tribe a margin of advantage but not enough to exclude those gearing in older content, but you are so scared we will love it so much we might not buy another expac or we might leave in droves after getting too strong with old content. Your profit mind has literally trained an entire generation of kids to enjoy rat races, well you and other games. But the older people did not all bite the cheese. And we never will.
So when the kids you taught to enjoy abuse are done with this fad and your company has to spend another million to put out another half product maybe you could reconsider actually giving us WHAT WE WANT for a change.
Seriously stop censoring us bliizard had to change title twice. WTH does Elon Musk need to buy Blizzard too?
TLDR Stop Scorched Earthing each successive classic expac by intentionally splitting userbases into the smallest possible groups (I.E. Season of mastery,) to ensure your future dreams of the next expac netting large profit off xfers/boosts etc come true.
