    Just asking, as most of the people who seem to complain about the lack of content seem to give me the impression that they're the fools and 'sheeple' who pay Blizz regardless of content.
    I do, but it makes more sense for players like me whose lives have gotten busier in the years since we started. The content is more than enough and play options are ideal for small windows of opportunity to grab a couple hours of game time. Cost is insignificant--by far the least im likely to spend/hr of entertainment.

    "The team is hard at work on much more sizable and proper content patches that will be coming in the future."

    BULL fucking SHIT. Why aren't they doing that now? What's the big content coming? Linkedin integration? Go fuck yourself Blizzard.

    Didn't they say there was supposed to be questing content in this patch? Or is that just the legendary questline?

    Yes, it was talked about early after the expansion came out. Both Tanaan Jungle storyline and Legendary were going to be 6.1, but it looks like Tanaan will be 6.2.

    I'm very disappointed they didn't stay on task of the content. Twitter integration is complete utter nonsense, blizzard.

    Correction, they said it in a recent interview:

    "There are a lot of surprises and exciting stories in store for Patch 6.2. A lot of the information is laid out in quests so far and 6.1 quests will add some more story."

    BRF is going to be in week #4 when patch 6.1 is released (and in LFR week #2). That's a good thing!

    Decoupling point release patches such as 6.1 from new raid content potentially gives us raid content earlier and we don't have to wait for unimportant features (blood elves update / twitter integration / etc) to be ready for release.

    Yes, there could be new content other than a new raid - But honestly there's more than enough to do in WOD. I am actually glad apexis crystals are useless and I don't feel the need to do the apexis daily on all of my toons. The tamagotchi effect of the garrison is real.
    Only issue I am seeing is PvP is boring atm. Not sure why.

    I never fail to be impressed on how well Blizzard can polish a turd [aka 6.1 trailer]...

    But let's face it... it's still a turd....

    And you are grasping at straws at how Blizz use their patch numbering system..

    And I have to laugh at those still whining like 2 year old's over the twitter bit or did they miss the fact that it is turned off by default and you have to physically turn it on in the social tab for it to even work..

    I think we can all agree that this is in no way a major patch.

    Which means we're likely going to go the longest time ever in WoW between major patches, not counting end of expansion waiting.

    They're very much aware of it. They've been deleting every thread on the general forums that links and discusses it. Which seems like major butthurt to me. I guess they don't like that their customers are telling them there is fuck all to do and fuck all coming.

    They don't like customers spamming a stupid youtube video at them like an angry toddler who knows how to copy and paste.

    Blizzard released a patch for their game. It fixes some things, it adds some things. It's a patch. That what it does. Not every initial patch for an expansion has had a raid in it, and the ones that have were released months later in their expansions timeline than this one. There's plenty to do right now, as it stands, and plenty of stuff being added. This is full of quality of life changes and minor content additions. Would you rather all of these needed changes sit on the shelf for several months waiting for a raid to be finished?

    I don't know if WoW is just babbys first game or what, but it's like people don't remember that "patch" doesn't always equal "raid" or even "content" (which has simply become a nebulous buzzword angry people use to try and blanket the whole of 6.1 as somehow being non-existent, I guess)

    I am constantly amazed at how WoW players, especially the ones on this website, constantly assume that everyone at Blizzard is a jack of all trades, able to do everything from programming to artwork to community management. "Of course the Twitter integration took away from Patch 6.1, why couldn't the interface team have created a new dungeon instead?" Well, I don't know, maybe because that's not what they do?

    At this point in time in MoP, we had 5.1. Infact, we would have had 5.1 last month if I remember right.

    Its less that the first patch is small, more so that it took this long for so little. Blizz has been releasing content slower and slower while they keep promising it'll be faster. Its pathetic.
