    which means I cant even use crimson vial during it, and using symbols of death with it just makes it awkward, because it refills my energy and it's on the GCD so when I press it I'm guaranteed to lose energy.

    that's the problem

    my 3 minute CD being on the GCD is more or less fine (altough, then again I cant press it if it comes back during shadow dance which is just horrible)

    it might not hurt other classes, but it shits over sub rogues in a major fashion

    GCD Changes
    Why would we ever make a change that people don't like or doesn't feel good? The team knows the initial reaction would be negative. At the end of the day, they want everyone to enjoy the game and it to feel good.

    I love this part, he didnt actually say this. he said Its our game F you deal with it. pretty much sums it. an awful thing and he just tells us to deal with it.

    High Elves
    Blood Elves are basically High Elves. Slightly different eye color and backstory, but if you want to be a light skinned elf, that is basically a Blood Elf. Giving that to the Alliance would blur the line between factions.
    Let's apply this to something else...

    Void Elves
    Void Elves are basically Blood Elves. Slightly different skin/hair color and backstory, but if you want to be a void-infused elf, that is basically a Blood Elf Shadow Priest. Giving that to the Alliance would blur the line between races and classes.
    They've done something insanely stupid with Void Elves, they have to realize they've opened this Pandora box for literally any kind of bullshit right now.
    Void Elves were never a Race, but a Class. Void Elves are either Blood Elf Shadow Priest, or Blood Elf Void Mage (if you want), but they're Blood Elves. A Blood Elf Shadow Priest Fury Warrior wouldn't make sense right ? Well, there are some, wandering around Stormwind, right now.

    Orcs versus Humans was... nuanced? I'm sorry, but did he actually play warcraft 1? Orcs then were still mostly written as warhammer orcs which existed for fighting, looting and pillaging. They were pure evil.

    it will be a very good change for guilds even if they dont see it now .

    now people will see only benefits in joining raids with guilds.
    Ah I can now kick players like you out of my raid team for sub performing without a care, since I dont have to worry about if the loot got stacked on you. Personal Loot is a great change, if you are not performing within the same level as the rest of the team, You will not be allowed in the raid, 30 man or not, because we are not going to get you gear for tanking the floor.

    It's so painful to read. I don't know if the one to "blame" is Ion or someone who did the summary.

    I have to admit. That sounds so bad I don't think I can have any part in paying for that.

    "Group and Master Loot puts players at the mercy of others, often in ways that aren't fair." And who will protect me from the mercy of the random loot system? Hmmm? MOF0S
    FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

    I am so upset now. These pricks have no idea about their own game. I bet there wouldn't be enough players to create a 10man raid from their dev team.

    Guess what I don't have any of the Argus trinkets yet but I have 15 upgrades. Whoaaa It is sooooooooo awsome!

    If Mythic goes, it'll just become Heroic again, so essentially it won't really be gone. The hardcore difficulty will never be removed, you're quite delusional if you think so.

    Loyalty, performance, attendance - nothing matters anymore. That hunter who just showed up after 2 weeks and died during the first 10% of the boss will get the bis titanforged socketed item, and there's nothing you can do about it.

    "Should WoW be about reaction time or making the right decision."

    How about both huh? Having good reaction time is a skill you know.

    So will silence, skills like ring of peace, CC be off global cooldown? Because these skills and similar reward good reaction time. If i cant cast a cc while inside a gcd i think im done with this game.

    "You will be able to respec Azerite Traits, it is NYI in Beta, but coming soon.
    The goal here is for you to be able to change them if you made a mistake or are changing your role for a few weeks.
    The team wants to avoid these traits feeling like another set of talents, allowing you to swap them between fights in a raid.
    You can reset all of the choices on a piece of armor for a small gold cost (5-10 gold) that ramps up rapidly the most often you do it. The cost will decay quickly.
    This expansion will be much friendlier than Legion was to players that want to maintain multiple specs competitively, especially compared to early Legion."

    What does this really mean. Can i as a monk do mythic dungeons right after each other first as tank, then as dps and lastly as heal without loosing power?

    I love the first few bullet points - still on the "we know what's best for you, stop complaining" mantra that the dev team has been all about for the past few years. I especially love the point about taking away guild summons, as if that was a smart and successful idea. For the health of the game - please. It didn't stop people only logging on for raid. Half my guild still does exactly that. The only thing it changed was that instead of a simple summon everyone has access to, it's now the Warlock's job. Same shit, different color.

    I 100% vehemently disagree with the loot change. Personal Loot is not why I play this game. It kills all enjoyment of that aspect for me. But I know nothing will change their minds. After all, they know what's best, and we're just making baseless complaints.

    Life is about choices. If you take away choices like lootstyle, you decrease quality of life.
    The reasons are also totally dumb.

    "The only place other loot methods are used are in guild raids."
    --> Yes because there is the very GOOD restriction on guild members.



    "There is more personal agency and control as an individual of your fate.
    There are some guilds that have awarded loot well for many years.
    Group and Master Loot puts players at the mercy of others, often in ways that aren't fair.
    Trial players in a new guild may not get anything for weeks because that is the guild policy."
    --> Yes and we join together AS a guild because we trust each other to share loot for the common good! Guild is about achieving together! The group is bigger than the sum of its parts! Everyone applying for a guild knows the rules he applies to. Because we dont have 40 man raid anymore there are many guilds where people can raid! People do have the choice!


    "When you kill a boss, it isn't about if there is something on the corpse that you want, but if someone is going to give you that loot. It disconnects the reward from killing the boss.
    You deserve the loot for killing the boss.
    Trading restrictions for loot will work the same as they do now for the most part. If it is lower than the highest item level piece you have ever looted and had soulbound for that slot, you can trade it."
    --> This argumentation is so freakin idiotic. How often there was loot and then the other wanted to trade me because for me it was more valuable and he could not, ending up in lose-lose situation. Before they said we are on mercy of people. And what we are now here? same!
    But it is even worse!

    In a guild we all vote for the lootmaster we believe does the best for the guild. And now this position is dropped from blizzard and now are on mercy of others? Yeah thanks. We are based back on LUCK!

    Why is it always the hunter?

    The part about High Elves makes me wanna slam my head into the desk.

    There's already been so many changes throughout the years that have massively blurred the lines between the factions. We even have Pandaren on both sides, and the new allied races pretty much already gives the horde night elf models, and the alliance blood elf models.

    God, I can't, I just really can't.

    Silly question here, but does the GCD change mean that I won't be able to macro 2 or 3 abilities together to pop at once to blow something up?

    It is hilarious that he tells you, up front, that the team would never make a change that players don't like, and then proceeds to tell you exactly why they are making a change that players don't like. What a buffoon, textbook definition of hypocrite.

    thank you. I rarely comment as I'm rarely subbed and even more rarely in 100% agreement with anybody here let alone the blues. but you sir I'm in 100% agreement with and you saved me from having to try and assemble words that would simply just fall on deaf ears.

    the crux of the problem IMO is the business side of the game fortifying the mouthpieces to outright lie about "knowing what's best for the game" as opposed to knowing what's best for the blizzard pocket book. and as you said it's now been going on for years. much like my mottled subscription practices.
