Now before you say "good riddance, bye bye, we dont need you." Or any other formality. This isn't to be toxic. It's to address issues and hopefully the game will get better without being toxic or negative.
Main reason: You say you value feedback, yet you still push your own agenda and use these big words to try to justify your decisions. We didnt like the GCD changes. You did it anyway and almost a year later, you admitted you took ti to far.
Ever since Burning Crusade, you tried to fix something that wasn't broken. From all the way to talent trees, to doing time gated quests and endless rep. It felt more like a chore instead of fun, which later you admitted. Pay to fly zones was fun. Having races unlocked at start was fun. Not helping turtles and time hated quests and endless rep
Its forcing players to play a certain. way and in a certain time. Subscribers were alot higher. Now they're lower. Yet you still wont listen and you still will push your own agenda. And toxic try-hards are going to find an excuse to defend you. I'm saying this as a 12 year player.
8.2 doesnt really fix issues. You just distracted us with new raid and new dungeon with cosmetic mounts. And a "new" system that wont last long. It'll get thrown away like artifacts which was mostly liked. You're adding more stuff without fixing the issues so we hopefully forget.
Like at this point I'd rather you guys say "We dont value feedback. We dont care about our consumers. And were going to push our own agenda and do it our way, and you're still going to give us your money too" like I'd respect you more than blantly lying to us.
8.2 was the last straw. Maybe I'll see you next expansion. Was hard to leave....all the grind....alk the work put in....but more people need to stand up and unsubscribe, that's the only way they'll eventually listen. Will be playing other games until then.
Hope everyone stays blessed and thank you!
