Sorry but Blizzard deserves every flack they've been getting recently. They don't listen and if they do, they act like a spoiled kid after you tell them to do their chores.
Let's go down the list of all of the fubar things Blizzard has done recently..
-The time gating fiasco of Legion, so take your pick(s) on this one from the AP grind, flying, quests (**** those broken shore time gates), class halls (yea the druid one sucked ****) and the list goes on.
-Allied races Legion, K whoever thought of this please DIAF. Literally no other MMO does this so don't give me that piss poor "you need to earn it" speech like you are some MMO vet and not a blind Blizzard fangirl. Did you earn the right to play a Worgen, Goblin, BE, Panda or Draenei? LOL NO, you bought the damn expansion and proceeded to play those new races." But but the allied races are new too!!" no they are not, they literally have the same idle, skeletal structures and animations of other races.."But but they start at lvl 20!!!", so? DK's start out at lvl 55 (worgen, draenei, goblins and BE can be them as well) so yea lvl 55 > lvl 20. "Bu..." shut up, DH start at lvl 98 and BE can be them. The only requirements for a DH is a max lvl character (pre Legion). If they want Allied races to be unlocked by having a high lvl character be my guest, I don't care but asking people do weeks worth of rep grinds of re skinned characters is just EA lvls of cancer.
-BfA Allied races same as above except I'm trying to figure out were the *****are all of these Mag'Har orcs in the horde areas are and while alliance have some DID's in their story it's pretty random.
-WoD in general, the amount of cut content and half **** content put into that expansion is just mind numbing. I don't think I can list anything positive about that expansion except Alliance actually doing well in pvp (yay)
-Ilvl scaling mobs...mobs shouldn't be getting harder as you get gear, it's pointless for a RPG to make you get gear that doesn't make you feel like you're actually progressing.."But what about quest mobs that die to all those mythic geared players", oh no maybe make the mobs health increase by the number of people attacking it, make the respawn time quicker or don't have a dozen types of ilvls of gear, we don't need mythic, heroic, normal, lfr, wq, dungeon and add warforged/titanforged to every one of those categories you just fubard gear progression. So I just fixed your damn "impossible problem" Blizzard which it seems your devs can't do so I'll take their paychecks including Ions cause apparently they just can't brain storm ideas or ask the community on what they would do.
-Class balance and identity....Legion had Outlaw and Survival being useless for over 2 years and now it's painful to play certain classes like Shadow Priests or Ele Shaman for BfA. "But it's the start of an expansion", they were literally getting feedback for months and ignored issues.
So yea that's not even including War of Thorns, Sylvanas going Garrosh 2.0 or Kerrigan 2.0 or lets see how long tell we get anything on Worgen or Gobline models cause they've been saying it since WoD. If this was any other company it would get burned to the ground for the stupid choices they make, I have to say if Blizzard made Mass Effect 3 and did the same ending that they did people would praise those endings to the point "they are the best ever".
they do what activision tells them and it's been that way since cata. that's why they're doing basic tuning passes a month after launches now instead of in beta
They don't listen to us anyway, might as well shit on them and have some fun doing it.
So for the love of god stop fucking giving them money month after month year after year. You have been shitposting about Wow devs and the game for going on 5 years now. Move the fuck on or at least get some new material. If the devs aren't changing the game it is because of people like YOU who whine incessantly about the game but never actually stop paying for it. Why the fuck should they change the game with "fans" like you? You and all the other whiners have proven no matter what they do all of you will continue to pay for the game you bitch about endlessly. It isn't fanboys killing this game it is people like you.
Forum feedback is irrelevant tho. 90% of the players don't even visit the forums (just a number, but it's the vast majority). If they wanted real feedback, they'd poll us in-game over a long period of time...say start a poll about ilvl scaling mobs and end it 6 months from now. What the majority voted on is the way forward.
But, like others pointed out, they do what they want. Sometimes, like in the case of un-tradeable azerite gear, the flaws were so obvious that it's even hard to understand how it got through - there was no way in hell you'd ever want to keep a 325 azerite piece from a random heroic when they had 340 or higher available.
Again. I've already explained it many times. Problem is: first I provide 100% constructive feedback. It's big article, where all problems are explained in constructive manner. Problem is - it's ignored. In worst case - they scoff over me, i.e. treat me as some sort of "bad" player or something like that. I don't demand all changes to be implemented, but at least I ask for some communication. Communication means, that if I provide some arguments - they should explain, why this arguments are bad and provide some counter-arguments. Not just "we are right and you're wrong" or, in most cases, complete radio silence. So, if I'm treated so badly, why should I treat them any better? That's the root of all toxic behavior - bad communication from THEIR side. They should listen for their playerbase in a first place - only then playbase will stop shouting at them.
I.e., yeah, they get, what they deserve.

I don't care about Wow 11.0, if it's not solo-MMO. No half-measures - just perfect xpack.
exackly same shit happend in WoD
and this is why BfA is destined to be as garbage expansion as WoD
only and i say only departments that delivered were graphic designers and audio designers
rest of those retards should get fired starting with "you think you do but you dont" piece of human ...... .
For example: problem with flying. I've already told them numerous of times, why I need flying so much. Because what the point in killing mobs, if respawn rate is so high, that mobs respawn just 5 seconds after I kill them and provide no reward? Avoiding them - is only viable solution. And such high respawn rate comes from wrong outdoor design - so called claustrophobic design, where they make way too small locations with way too few mobs to kill, so this is needed to be compensated by high respawn rates. And some classes/specs have mechanics, that rely on getting out of combat and/or fighting with one mob at a time. So constant aggro/combat causes problems with playing on such classes/specs. And result is - they've never addressed this problem. Not even responded to me. Complete radio silence. And what I see on BFA's Alpha/Beta? Same broken quests. And all that lies about "Master content on a ground - get flying". All that lies about putting effort into flying and "earning" it only to be removed from actual content just 2-3 months after that. How can I trust them after that?

Ooooh, do you have sub numbers? I've always been curious about sub numbers and mean ol' Blizzard doesn't share them anymore! Can you link them?

Has it been a month already? I could have sworn it was last week. Man, how time flies when you're having fun...

What region was flying removed from?
You see what they do after and it is apparent that they don't listen because even the most apparent breakage = bugs for which nobody would ever have any hesitation to say that they are bugs, do not get addressed. They do react to feedback but only in fixed windows right after they release something big or right after they have been bashed a lot on the forums / in the media. Then they go and react to repeats of the same reports they had for 6 months, doing the things they should have been doing 6 months ago. That's the picture.
Someone doesn't remember Real-ID forcing people to use their REAL NAMES on the WoW forums.
But my name really is Deathblood Blackaxe (July 2010)
The devs literally reversed course because the fans were MAD AS HELL and constantly shit on them.

It's funny people still think the Devs listen or read feedback on forums or even the mechanisms they created to receive feedback. When people submit reports on beta tests that things are broken and then they are not fixed (and I mean they were really broken), you know they aren't listening. All these things are are catharsis relievers designed to give the players a way to release angst by thinking what they say in feedback matters.
Blizzard's attitude for a long time has been that they know better than the players and are creating games to be played the way they want people to play them. The only time they change is when they see some internal numbers falling where they don't want them.
