Cut off the arm to save the body.

ROFLMAO

Do you think is possible to entirely scrap the entire Azerite system?

Something that probably took months to develop? Specific azerites for each spec and each class? Hundreds of azerites?

Are you insane?

Blizzard need to much more critical when it comes to their own work. If something doesn't work, then just drop it. Don't spend months trying to save a lost cause only to end up with something which makes the game worse. With systems like the Azerite gear which from the beginning clearly didn't work they just need to make a clear cut and remove it from the game instead of using a lot of resources trying to fix something which is already lost. Azerite gear brought much more negatives to the game than positives and adding systems like that is only damaging. Especially when they use extra resources on them. Only a very small minority of players are going to look back at the Azerite gear with any positive feelings. The same thing can be said about the corruption gear. The situations where you feel bad because of the corruption just massively outweighs the times when you feel good. They shouldn't spend time and resources on these systems which just have a overall negative impact on the game. If something clearly doesn't work, they just need to put their proudness aside and cut it from the game. Simple as that.

If your game has fun content people will play it. Don't add negatives to it.

Everyones smart after the fact.

I don't think blizz can just remove features that are listed on the box/website as features. Aside from the PR nightmare it would be, it also sounds like something you could sue over.

It has already happened. Blizzard removed flying combat from Wintergrasp in Wrath of the Lich King. It happened late into development and produced to much lag if I remember correctly. But it was on the box as a feature. Nothing happened because of that. About the only thing they would have to do is offer a refund to someone who wanted it because of a missing feature.

There are not other legal ramifications of not delivering on a feature. Even more so when it is on a website as development stuff changes all the time. Usually box features are pretty set in stone so it rarely comes up.

Wasn't the dance studio announced on that same box too?

Yes. I always forget it was on the box and not a patch/blizzcon promised feature.
