Compared to any other online game with millions of users and the same server structure etc Blizzard games are far and beyond better than their competition.
Just look at Bless Online as the most recent example. Much less users and a horrible launch.

swtor with like a 10th if not even less than WoW playerbase the only game which is somewhat competitive is FF14 and well its not on your top 5 list ... GW2 just naming HOT disaster .. Warframe LUL the Divison did u play the game when it launched and when the first big patch came? you are naming 5 random games which have nowhere near the playerbase and not the problem with old legacy code which they have to deal with ... i love when forum devs open a thread when they have actual no idea what they even complain about
FOMO: "Fear Of Missing Out", also commonly known as people with a mental issue of managing time and activities, many expecting others to fit into their schedule so they don't miss out on things to come. If FOMO becomes a problem for you, do seek help, it can be a very unhealthy lifestyle..

Basically those devs who because they work in the business and think of themselves as the sparkling unicorn who is never wrong in a discussion. Basically no intent to discuss rather than get their point across how "they are in the business but it never happens for them".
Least I think that's what Ico meant.
Honestly, on my side I have yet to experience anything going wrong. There was the update of guild leader tools, wasn't a bug, was just a good surprise. Then there was a part that managed to make the game much smoother for me - hope that ain't a bug. I have yet to experience any problems. Of course, communities not being available is a sad thing..

Oh, @Icoblablubb , you think the OP is a forum dev? Just curious.

Companies get bloated and become inefficient all the time. Same thing with all large groups/organizations. The Peter Principle comes into effect to where people in a hierarchy tend to rise to their "level of incompetence.
These factors are why. Plus Blizzard seems to think there is some gaming gods that will come out of the sky if they don't "if we did X then we'd have to do Y also".
I just have a feeling that development for WOW is ran in a number of teams working on something not in tandem with each other except when the team leaders get together for a leader meeting. Then they weight cost of redoing it versus is it really that bad a thing to just do it in dollars.
Like the GUI....WHY oh WHY did they do this? There was no need......This is a pet peeve of mine in software development. Developers seem to want to change the GUI and/or Icons every other update. WHY?!?!?! There was nothing wrong with it to begin with!!! And not give the user a way to revert back to the old GUI/Icons if they want. Its a case of we did something just to say we did something..
I bet Blizzard falls into this category a great deal. Plus they've never been good at pushing out content even as far back as Warcraft or Diablo.
everquest the king of mmorpgs had some HUGE issues on patch days and expansions
Exactly. They are giving up on the game, but they are doing it gradually so the players don't panic.
It has been extremely obvious, I just don't get why people can't accept this. There is a huge drop of quality of pretty much everything that has been done for the game, compared to TBC/Wrath days.
Legion didn't even have much content. They were just smart in making the players repeat the same things over and over again, while players thought it was their idea to do so "legendaries/pity timer/etc".
