but, ok.

If you have some rejoinder with actual information, I'm all ears. At least other posters attempted to draw a link between the two wildly different systems of covenants and loot drops to support their claims that everyone that plays is a serious and competitive min-maxer pushing the bleeding edge of mythic... silly as that is, at least they tried.

Not too good at this "response" thing, are you?

They were meant as a "wow, what a cool item!" reward for 99% of the playerbase.

And it was a bad system since most of the casual are looking how to play on the internet and were "oh yeah it's not what i'm supposed to play". Plus, you don't get that feeling when a legendary is just bad like Sephuz's secret when it first came out. It wasn't changed for nothing. With all the "The first one to get is easy and then fuck off" most of those legendaries were even seen as a punishment to the player receiving it.

Having rare items can be cool. BoE have always been a thing in game. But BoE has never played such a major role in a class' dps or in a class gameplay like Legion's legs did.

You don't need to be a mythic min maxer to fele like you got cheated by blizzard. Heroic and some normal raiders also care about their performance. Pvp players also care about their performance. You are just purposely gaslighting.

No honest assessment of any number, or even common sense, would support that assumption.

You are assuming that people that arent mythic raiders don't care about min/maxing.

People care about character progression. That's a core aspect of RPGs. People that don't are the minority.

You are not exactly giving us statements backed by evidence yourself.

I see nothing to indicate that this guy is part of the truly talented to leave the company so; bye bye overpaid mediocre.

This is a good point, the truly talented and motivated leave first because they know they can work anywhere. This mediocre overpaid idiot probably waited this long because he knew he was going to get discovered as a hack somewhere else and now, without the talent in front of him he is getting revealed.

This post is baffling.

Abandon the sinking ship!!!

And I don't need to "cope" with anything; ya'll seem to be the ones getting butthurt over innocuous gameplay choices. I really don't care either way. So... stay angry and irritable, I guess?

Not at all. Just calling BS when i see it.

So all that is left now at Blizzard is Bobby, Ion and the night shift janitor?

And plenty of bowls of fruit.

His resume says he is good with shitting. I think he should apply for a junior appendicitis surgeon or something.

Yep, that was the begining of the downfall. They gave legendaries away to everyone and that literally killed them.

And you know, like 99% of the remaining staff that can't afford to be divas. Still boggles the mind why people seem to be taking people leaving as a bad thing, it's not like most of them did much good for the game for the last few xpacs. If they're serious about wanting changes then they need to expect/want them to replace the staff, you can't keep the same people at this point and expect things will just get better. Murozond in End Time said it best, "To repeat the same action and expect different results is madness."

To have it just be something cool you get whenever then it CANNOT have player power be a component of it. Otherwise it must be target-able or have some form of bad luck protection

This is the dumbest take I've ever seen. One of like three things a company like Blizzard straight up owes its customers is to not add broken, unfun systems into the game. Which is what the Legion legendary system was upon release.

The vast majority of the playerbase at the very least visits sites like WoWhead or Icy Veins and does what the guides tell them to do when they reach max level. This can easily be seen by simply looking at the almost no variation in the most chosen talents or how the overwhelming majority of each spec pick the same Covenant.

I don't believe that its somehow understandable at all since we told them as soon as it became available in alpha that the players would hate it. They just refused to listen.

When has blizzard ever understood that someone saying no to them meant no?

… then i am still searching for the 99% posts that saying „wow, what a cool item“ legendary concept.

reason:
i just wanted to compare my own memory with official forums, since i nowhere in 2017 saw this ominous 99% persons you are talking bout, iirc.

The funny thing is the majority of people who are happy with something usually feel no need to comment... most people when they wanna complain post.... so going by posts isn't a really a good number to even start with.

Lead the design of the Legendary Items in Legion and the Essence System in Battle for Azeroth.

Good riddance.

So you will post every time someone leaves Blizzard? Is it because of absence of the real news? Like nobody knew this guy apart from his 20 followers.
