I can't believe the horrible opinions people have for this game, people like to blame blizzard but I think its misguided players that have ruined the game far more with their asinine suggestions and campaigns to have the game molded in their view.
Whoever thinks the GCD changes back in legion were good are horribly mistaken. Go play UH DK and tell me how great it feels to use your burst rotation (spoilers its awful). It added nothing to the game while making combat for higher end players (the most dedicated players) feel worse. These changes today is some of the best news SL has had so far, and I expect more to come off the GCD after they monitor how these ones play out in testing. These abilities have huge impact in gameplay and using them on command is a huge benefit for the class using them and how it feels to play. In arenas there are situations where every GCD matters and currently you can have cooldowns available but refrain from using them as you MUST use GCD's on other abilities in order to survive, and that feels awful.
I REALLY hope blizzard doesnt read these forums or takes any suggestions from it as you are mostly mount collectors, normal raiders, and think BGs are good examples of PvP in mmos, and couldnt be more wrong on what the game needs to retain players and provide engaging gameplay
Arcane Mages REJOICE!
Night Elves NEED long hair to the ground and more elegant/regal beautiful options to show their Highbourne heritage
then the fix should have been relegated to PVP. you know the place where they later then released broken corruptions that allowed the exact fucking thing to happen.
they are fucking stubborn idiots, knew this wasn't like and that pressing an activation button that did nothing was stupid and defended it for 2 years because they can't admit a mistake.
frankly, they fix way too many "problems" that they concoct in their heads over some aspect of the game that they think is being played "wrong" or whatever
the entire GCD thing is just one more thing in a long list of things they tell us how great they are and then undo two years later like we have no memory of them spouting obvious bullshit to defend a change that is really nothing more than a change for the sake of change, a thing they do all the time.
Time to roll these into relevant macros...
Stains on the carpet and stains on the memory
Songs about happiness murmured in dreams
When we both of us knew how the end always is...
haha
just like every forum poster I do believe I'm right but also just like every forum poster I might as well be pissing my opinion into a headwind as its just as worthless as every other.
Like you said earlier, frustrates me that players will never give Blizzard a win, even when they make a great change based off of player feedback. Sucks that WoW, especially PvP (my content of choice), has become just a game to constantly hate on and never be happy with, even when its still better that the majority of MMOs out there, and IMO has the BEST gameplay out of any. There are still issues they need to figure out, and BFA was a low point, but I think people have been spoiled and forgot how good they actually have it.
More like those who complained here, official forums, reddit, twitter, etc about the GCD changes before BFA hit. Vocal minority. That has never been a case where the majority of the playerbase complained or appreciated a change and was vocal about it. That's what vocal minorities do, in this game and in general.

i would say with certainty that the people calling for this change are people who weren't around pre cataclysm era, because if they were, then they would never want those days back in terms of GCD locking, just as a history lesson you could literally macro the blood DK DPS rotation and go afk because it was GCD locked, you literally couldn't do anything else during combat there was no 'immersive decision making' as they are trying to spin it, and that's just one example among many, and yes it was very much a 'manufactured problem' by blizzard themselves because if you're using 1 shots in PVP as your justification for the change then i have some bad news for you but 1 shots in PVP have existed as long as the game has been around, you had the old 5 minute mage back in classic, or the swifty 1 shot macro, in TBC it was spirit warlocks destroying everything in sight, in wrath you had a plethora of classes/specs that could easily global you regardless of gear and then shadowmourne just added insult to injury in the final season, cata was the first time we saw major PVP tuning done to try to limit the 1 shot spam after they added the new mastery stats, so again i reiterate my point of REGRESSING instead of INNOVATING which is exactly what this GCD change at the start of BFA was, it was done to artificially slow the game down because blizz weren't happy with players playing how they wanted and is yet another example of 'play our way or not at all' mindset in the dev team.
About time! Cooldowns on GCD felt like absolute crap to play
