Why? Saronite was the blood of Yogg'Saron. Presumably Azerite is the blood of Azeroth.
its just a poor reward for a massive time sink. AP was the consolation prize for a large chunk of reward possibilities. the min-maxers enjoyed it.. but i did not. most of the game can be accomplished without min maxing, i was never interested in the huge undertaking and investment that is "world first playing" the only true place that min maxing is needed.
i also do not need such a poor choice for a carrot on a stick to keep me playing. i believe it should be back in the hands of alts. make a fun game, let rewards flow freely and rely on the content being worthy of replay from an alt. give me a nice checklist of things i can do, and check off when complete (meaning no need to go back with a main toon or any alt, unless i simply want to), and stop trying to bait my main along with grindy RNG time sinks like Warforge/Titanforge and AP/Azerite.
the expac sounds interesting in concept, i just wish it had far less dependency on RNG/excessive grind for player retention.
