"The amount of raid tiers in this expansion is dependent on where the story in Battle for Azeroth goes."
The more I see this statement, the more worried I am getting for BFA.
Firstly, the playerbase has been very vocal about the amount of raid content per expansion especially after the 2 raid tier debacle in WoD. And now they can't assure us that we will be getting at least the standard 3 raid tiers in BFA?
Secondly, how in the world do they not know where the story in BFA is going by now? Are they only planning 1 patch at a time? They should definitely know where the story is headed in BFA and how many raid tiers it'll take to get that story across.
This is beginning to sound like the rhetoric of WoD where we were told the same thing.
