You take it as far as you can, in the hopes that somehow insulting the entire wow community and Blizzard will somehow get your point across better. Guess what, here are the facts: Wow won't miss you and you still don't have a life. But there are lots of other video games to play. So go play those.

    And if your answer is "I already unsubbed" then gtfo of the wow news forums you pathetic whiners.
    You don't get it do you,you mongoloid. You seriously don't understand why people are having an issue with this hyped up patch. Time and energy wasted on fucking twitter and a fucking selfie camera, WITH achievements attached to it!!!!! You MUST be joking.

    And its more than that. More examples of a company fallen. a great company that made great games. Games they put supreme effort into making. Now its an empty husk of a company only concerned with profits and less about integrity and quality. Its a damn shame. I can remember getting warcraft on a 2.5 floppy from a computer show. Lost vikings. The original starcraft that WASN'T split into 3 separate chapters that you had to buy 3 times. The original had different box art, that you could CHOOSE to buy, that I STILL own. Those cinematics had more emotion and personality than ANYTHING they have made since. WotLK Trailers are pretty fucking close to that.

    Money and power corrupt. They have lost their way since Cataclysm. The best thing that can happen to Blizzard now is for them to crash and burn. Let them start from the ground up again. They need to earn back their customers. The first way to do that is to get rid of all the lead developers and for the love of god keep Chris Metzen on another project as far from WoW as possible. I would start with canning that arrogant twat Afrasiabi and his buddy Kaplan. Those fucking guys are a cancer.

    Got to love the complaining. Its always very entertaining.

    And comparing this patch to a major raid patch is... Unwise. This is a small content patch, relatively speaking. I won't use the twitter or selfie stuff, but I don't care that it exists. The people who developed it aren't the people designing raids or balancing classes. Calm down.

    Also, looks like Garona is our legendary follower. That's amazing.

    Technically incorrect. All of these raids were in at launch, but weren't all available right away. Blizzard decided that MSV wasn't up for long enough as current content - and they are right, it because pointless as soon as HOF was open.

    Yeah you're right. I should really be comparing this patch to something like patch 1.10

    Hehehe yeah. FFXIV gets more in a .0.1 patch than WOW gets in a .1 and yet they have about 160.000.000 usd in Sub money every month while XIV is about 6.500.000. And their team is extremely minimal compared to WOW. About 5 people have made all the raids and monster designs in raids and the world. Which makes me scratch my head just how very little WOW's fans are getting in return compared to XIVs fans. Imo Blizzard is not treating their fans like they should imo. Either Yoshida's Dev team is just that more enthusiastic and working harder or Blizzard is underperforming.

    Blizzard also said they dont feel like doing a different Class Combo like Gnome Hunters until an Expansion, while XIV put in 1 new class and 1 new Job in a PATCH. And in their expansion Heavensward, we are getting a whole 3 new classes, Dark Knight tank, Machinist Ranged Pistol DPS and Astrologian Healer as well as a new Race, the Au'Ra.


    Just look at the patch trailers for every .1 patch of XIV so far and compare to ANY of WOWs expansions or Classic
    Even patch 2.1 introduced Player Housing system and Wolves Den a PVP area.
    And of course: HILDIBRAND. the best ever side story questline ever. Hope they really continue with Hildibrand in 3.0

    Patch 2.1 - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R_aliYN8hNk
    Patch 2.2 - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zueQqbWhZeo
    Patch 2.3 - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qYBu4dpZJBo
    Patch 2.4 - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QbiFK4tcz9w
    Patch 2.5 - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pj3hGDaDZqI

    Oh and finally, with all these patches, they also do class balancings, Quality of Life addtitons, colorblind setting, they just dont make them out to be part of the main features of a patch, but usually tucked away furtherst down on the patch notes

    I mean when I saw patch 6.1's Survival Guide VS Lores other Survivial Guides, I facepalmed. Selfie, Twitter, colorblind, QoL and Bug fixes as Main Features, siiiiigh
    I am also disappointed of Lore as when he said he was hired by Blizzard, he would still be critical about the game and make an impact on it.
    Like he almost laughed at people asking on his PST if Blizzard would ever implement a paid max lvl character saying he would be sad if they did that, and when they added it in WOD, he made an video on how it worked and sounded so happy about it.

    Blizzard is also nowhere near as open and honest as Yoshida is with his Liveletter on Youtube where he also accepts questions live. He even shows us tidbits of future stuff to come, even if that pissed off the Dev team slightly xD
