This was a playermade issue, they sat around assuming a prepatch would be X weeks, with no actual proof or verified infos tating that.
Just like how they got hyped over a May 18th prepatch date, then when no announcement came, everyone got all panicked and said blizz was making a mistake and everyone would be mad.
If blizzard said prepatch was 5 weeks, then gave us two, I’d agree, but there was never a specified length. You guys riled yourself up and then got mad at blizzard when it was your fault lol
This only effects Belfs and Draenei since they can’t be boosted and aren’t available yet. For everyone else they can level right now and have a Class ready by June 1.
And it’s still better than we had back in the day when those races were only available at launch day and not 2 weeks before. It’s fine.
Based off what? They said NOTHING. You wanted no changes, but now when a change happens you want it better?
They gave you 2 weeks you never had originally. They are only doing a prepatch to give time to boost and character copy. This is NOT for leveling purposes although they are allowing you to level at the time. They are doing more than enough.
It gets worse. What player even WANTS to have a level 60 by June 1? Answer: only players who plan to grind to 70 in the minimum time possible.
So you have players who want to grind to 70 in the first week of TBC, and do it on a Blood Elf Paladin. Sounds to me like less than 1% of players.
Yet this 1% of players expect Blizzard to plan major release dates around THEM. Seems a little bit “snowflakey” to me. I won’t say “entitled”. I’m too nice.
You won’t, but I will. Cause that is what it is, entitlement.
“We don’t care there is people who want it earlier, I want it later”
Essentially it’s just to ignore anyone but them even going so far as to use phrases such as
“We deserve” (You don’t) or “The classic community” as if to speak for everyone cause they either cannot believe someone disagrees with them, or doesn’t consider them a player at all.
