    Will Blizzard ever tell the truth?

    Not blaming the game itself.

    Blizzard does like to lie, often.

    For instance, about Arcanocrystal - "We don't want to nerf something players already have."
    Ok, fair point...
    ...except they nerf legenaries in the same time.

    Ok, legendaries, OP! So let's nerf dungeon items.

    Say, Drape of Shame? YEAH, nerf!


    When (IF) is Blizzard going to stop lying?

    They employ quite a few competent designers.

    It is sad that they are not allowed to express themselves.

    I'll answer the question. You want answers?

    You want the truth?

    You can't handle the truth!


    Son, we play in a game that has walls, and those walls have to be guarded by huntards with guns. Who's gonna do it? You? You, Lieutenant Trend? I have a greater responsibility than you can possibly fathom. You QQ for crappy legendaries, and you curse Hazzikostas. You have that luxury. You have the luxury of not knowing what I know - that Hazzikostas' lies, while tragic, probably saved Gnome lives.

    You don't want the truth because deep down in places you don't talk about in Goldshire, you want me on that wall -- you need me on that wall.

    We use words like "Elitist," "Curve or don't bother," "and 940+. We use these words as the backbone of a life spent looking for carries. You use them as a punch line.

    I have neither the game time nor the inclination to explain myself to a noob who logs on and /sleeps under the blanket of the very freedom that I provide and then questions the manner in which I provide it.

    I would rather that you just said "ty" and went on your way. Otherwise, I suggest you spend 4 weeks farming that legendary and stand post. Either way, I don't give a DAMN what you think you're entitled to!

    Seems they've still got those thousand monkeys tacking away on a thousand typewriters.

    Stop being so mean to Blizzard when they are clearly trying their best. At least give them an A for effort

    This is very true, obviously they are just not as talented as the developers that made vanilla,TBC and WotLK. I do give them an A for effort in trying to cash grab but they even suck at that now considering the amount of people leaving the game. I also give them an A for effort in making RNG time sinks that only idiots continue to grind.

    Would most of you actually believe them if they did tell the truth? Conspiracy runs deep in the WoW community these days.

    The Arcanocrystal, players spent Bonus rolls, a lot of them to get one, or a better one. This is the reasoning behind not nerfing it. Legendaries.... just dropped randomly. The cloak nerf was due to the flat 10% always being better than what could drop for a healer from following content. As you get better gear from higher tiers, a flat 10% on top will always trump any cloak that would drop. If you want to keep using that cloak, that's fine, Farm a better ilvl one from M+.

    ....Has RNG EVER not been a HUGE part of the game? Did you even play back then when you had to Grind like hell to even get anything at all?

    OT: Id say there is no real truth tbh. When it comes to designing items things simply change from patch to patch, and sometimes you have to nerf/buff things.

    Are you new to MMO's or something?? As RNG and grinding has been a staple of the genre for years, and you make me laugh a lot if you think that Vanilla/TBC/WoTLK had any less RNG and grinding.. They were chock full of RNG and grinding, to the point that in Vanilla it took a very long time to reach max level especially if a new player and had no idea of what to do..
