I was doing my daily MMO champion WoW news crawl when I came across this quote for the Warcraft holiday events.
In my opinion I feel this is a bad call, I look forward to Warcraft holiday events hoping something new and improved to see, do, or get. However time and time again I'm disappointed with the same tired quest lines and maybe a new toy added to the temporary content.There are no major changes coming to holiday events, just the usual yearly updates. Almost all of the events have been updated in the past and are in a good place now. Time would be better spent adding new content to the game rather than changing up Hallows End yet again.
There's reason we humans look forward to our favorite holidays, if for our birthdays we only get the same gifts every year the day would get very stale and lose its excitement because we know what to expect every year (Oh! Gee, thanks it's the same thing you got me last year) I personally look forward to my favorite holidays because I expect to get, do, see something different every year.
Maybe because I've been play Warcraft for about 7 years, now I do not look forward to these events and kind of dread them, I would personally fall over if I saw something different for the upcoming holidays such as Hollow's end though Winter vile. Moreover not doing so makes the game feel static for Vet players like myself between patches, not having at least a change to the major yearly events makes them feel disjointed from the content and robotic....If you like yearly parade events, how many of you would go if the floats where the same?
Better not to do them at all I say.
