Yes.

Basically guides, which have been a thing in gaming since forever.

Just much easier to access the information with the internet and 16 years of database and sim building in an old game.

get ready for raids/mythic plus to get slightly more toxic and picky thanks to the great push.

That is an community issue. Not a Blizzard issue.

That's nice of you to assume something is a failure before it even fucking happens. Absolutely no bias at all, right?

Failing at creating an eSports scene is something Blizzard isn't new to.

It's money from Acti-Blizz that could go towards something else.

What, you think that money just comes from thin air?

Do you really think that? It is only the communities fault.
It is not garbage, it is actually the "best" your character can be. You can care about that or ignore it.

People were mad because it was another "Acti-Blizz laid off poor employees!" headline.

I am actually quite happy that Blizz is giving some PvE love in events. Since it's usually PvP that gets the limelight. Just sad it brings out the QQers.

Less of a burn considering where the money that runs these events comes from.

It's almost as if emotional weirdos like the person you are responding to can't see five feet in front of themselves.

Perhaps it's both?

So they bringing something new like this in on the heels of they just laid people off that would have promoted it? Lol

Not a single thing possibly could. The only thing they could possibly do that would be interesting is the WF race. But even then they haven't even bothered to grab hold of it and turn it into something because they can't be fucked off enough to help even the early start/late start for US vs EU.

Instead we're stuck with these suits dumping a ton of sub and loot box money onto shitty events nobody watches lmao

Of course THIS is what they communicate about. Pushing Mythics as ESports. It's almost as if the "regular" players are just there to support these tournaments. /SMH

Ikr? It's almost as if it's cheaper to fire a ton of people rather than retrain them and redirect their talent and efforts onto a different type of platform.

And we've got these 'soomers just sucking it all up lmao

I mean they kinda are. People constantly reference these eSport goblins when they're going on about "the meta". But of course, they don't actually watch the event. They just look at the stats and strats and try to copy/paste it, and fail in doing so because they lack the hand-eye coordination to actually play the game at the skill level required where they can actually apply said stats and strategies.

how soon until Torghast world competition:

gather your torghast teams and see who can get the most anima in 30 minutes

prize pool : $1500 dollars watch on youtube may 29th

Wrong, Metas Exists cuz numbers dont lie.

There is an optimal way of doing Damage/healing. That is a fact.

GUIDES are just the result of the fact to get to those numbers. not vice versa.

Absolutely.

Any game with math and choice has a meta.

It has to, because like you said, math.

The guides just do the math and summarize it for the masses.

Or Blizz could just accept that WoW and esports doesn't work, how about that?
