Lack of Information in What's next panel is disturbing

I didn't realize there was an anima issue until I capped on souls last night and need like 7k anima for an upgrade.
Hmm seems weird that now I literally can do nothing with souls (until I get the 7k anima) and they are a major weekly renown quest tied to soul acquisition since day 1 of SL.

I can't really come up with a reason why souls are capped. We can only get 5,10,15, or 20 a week anyhow. What big brain over at Blizz thought this made any sense what-so-ever?

I believe the answer is to keep players subscribed to play

x.1 patches throughout history:

BC - over 4 months
WOTLK - over 5 months
cata - over 4 months but NO RAID, raid 6 months after release
panda - 2 months but NO RAID, raid 6 months after release
wod - 3 months but NO RAID, raid 7 months after release
legion - 2 months but NO RAID, raid 7 months after release
bfa - 7 months after release

so NO EXPANSION EVER had x.1 patch in 3-4 months (TBC was close) with raid...
seems like its not HIM who should look up dates before spewing bullshit...

Back in Cataclysm, MoP and even WoD those dumb .x.5 patches didn't exist and raid releases always corresponded with .x patch releases, so your argument is pretty weak. Legion started this nonsense with the small in between patches.

And we don't even know when the raid in 9.1 will open - it could be the same as with 7.3 where Antorus was unlocked three months after the patch release (no, not in 7.3.5). Who really expects Sanctum of Domination to open the same day as the patch goes live?

classic also shown them massive outflow that anything couldnt compare to, MAYBE wod, maybe

You mean like as it's been happening in BfA and is already happening in Shadowlands?

i suggest you check what i responded to, bcs you obviously have no clue, as what you pointed out shows raids open even LATER, not 3-4 months after expansion as the guy i responded to claimed... so you strenghtened my point...

I wonder if the pandemic messed things up by opening up their employees to being swiped more easily. I mean, if you're working remotely, it doesn't really matter where the employer is, so now Blizzard has to worry not just about game companies in S. California, but anywhere.

and you base this on your ass? or do you have ANYTHING that would at least suggest massive outflow of people from retail?
bcs on classic we can see it on realms, there was dozens of full and high servers, now there are 2-3 high and rest is medium (at least in europe) or even low, some realms are ghost towns... unless you are biased as hell you can literaly SEE how the number of players fell...

I massively flowed out of retail. Darned quarantine weight gain. But hey, at least my BMI is just high enough now to qualify for a vaccine!
