No you very much said it. "You will have to farm. That's still played hours blizzard wants." Again. So your saying, making people play the game to progress. Is "a tactic made by blizz to get what they want"

Imagine not being able to read.
Because Blizzard hates you, and you in particular.
It.. is. That doesn't mean it's necessarily bad. If the system had all corruptions available at once, you could farm your corruptions and then quit after having fun with them, the way it is now means you'll have to stay longer especially if you don't manage to buy the ones you want when they were available. Again, what's your theory on why if you're so sure I'm wrong?
So you think players are staying... Because of corruptions. And are willing to spend extra months and extra hours. Just to get corruptions. That they will then go "alright I got it! Time to unsub"
Yeah no. And me and many others said atleast 5 times now earlier. Look at the thic skilled messeged from shadow, you will find my response with all of the qoutes.

This is actually true. As someone on the alpha I can confirm they have made it even more obvious. They have hired an employee for every player who watches you play and makes sure to make you loot drop as little as possible, and all your father quests to drop 1 until your 19/20 then suddenly the last mob pack drops 8. They have really gone overboard.
I'm not sure if you're intentionally being obtuse to troll, but I'm gonna assume you're able to extrapolate from an example anyway. Chill the fuck out and read what I'm saying again. You even brought up ICC as bad timegating as if that makes all timegating that comes after it good? ICC and SWP were both examples of egregious timegating which sucked. They were far worse examples.
You're still ignoring the question for some reason - what's your theory on why they've decided to do the corruption vendor system the way it is? I genuinely want to see your theory considering your righteous fury in attacking me for criticizing it.
Look, I know you want to feel big about the last word and all, but I'd genuinely love to admit to being wrong but you literally haven't presented any arguments beyond "omg you're so negative that makes me extremely angry". This "conversation" has been me treating you like an adult and you treating yourself like a child.
If you can come up with a reason why a vendor changing what they hold on a rotation twice a week is suddenly time gating, but only having one chance a week to get gear from a raid is fine, then let's here it.
People are getting frustrated with this probably because there's been many examples as to why people believe what you're saying is wrong, yet it's still being argued.
I gave you a flat reason why this isn't time gating. It's not really something that was up for debate. It's just basic facts. The vendor is not preventing you from doing anything. You can still go and farm corruption from other sources. You're not locked out of content.
But it was somehow twisted into "well I can't buy it RIGHT NOW, so that's time gated!".
Corruption effects aren't content to be done.
It's not like the Broken Shore or Suramar where you're waiting to continue a story.

I mean, you might want to look up the definition of sarcasm. Especially when it's as obvious as that... like, really?
Look dude, I get it: It's time gating. And time gating is GRRRR BAD. Full disclosure, I kind of don't agree with Blizzard here but it's kind of hilarious that every time Blizzard does anything -- regardless of whether it's good or bad -- threads like this become echo chambers of negativity. And instead of people attempting to reason why Blizzard did something the way they did it, you just get the same canned, "THEY'RE DESPERATELY TRYING TO KEEP YOU SUBBED" bullshit responses copy and pasted for page after page. If you want a participation trophy for having the truly enlightened perspective that Blizzard hates its players, that's fine. You do you. As I've said to you and many other people on this forum: You won't have any trouble finding people who share this perspective and provide you with that rush of endorphins you get when somebody quotes you in agreement.
The same reason for everything that activision is doing right now. Timegating. They dont want you to play the game for 2 months and be done with it. You better play the game until shadowlands comes out or the shareholders will not be pleased.
Here is a little trick that I myself found to be quite succesful: Dont give a fuck about BFA. Its not worth your time or money.
Im at a lack of words.
I literally dont know what to reply to you.
From saying a "rotation" is not a timegate...to "corruptions are not content"
I literally dont know what to say here.
I ask the help of others here to reply to Jester Joe.
How is this "rotation" not a timegate...and literally people are waiting for their corruptions to come up?

CORRUPTION VENDOR IS NOT TIMEGATED!!! How many times does this need to be shouted to the fucking heavens!!!!! EVERY. SINGLE. CORRUPTION. IS. IN. THE. GAME. RIGHT. NOW. so if you want Infinite Stars Rank 3 then you can get it - just not from the vendor at this point in time.

see above comment. A timegate is not what it happening here; the content (corruptions) is already in the game!
It's half measures vs. full measures. Corruptions on the vendor with a cycle is a half measure and players would (obviously) prefer a full measure. The reason Blizzard didn't is pretty obvious (players can't help themselves) but that gets thrown out the door when you're just making an empty, hollow accusation of Blizzard not caring.
