People complained about RNG on the Legiondaries, so they made they craftable and severely reduced the amount of time required to farm out your patterns for the most part, so people got their legendaries and got them upgraded early on. Now they've got no reason to do Torghast until new content.
Blizzard gave in to player demands on a ton of things like the gear system, AP grinding, legendaries, and plenty more and now suddenly players are realizing that without that endless treadmill of RNG to run on, the game has limited life span because there's no possible chance at upgrades any more. Now those players are going boo hoo no content nothing to do when I log in with the raid cleared and are blaming Blizzard instead of realizing that all these Youtubers and their feedback have created a game that will become stale very quickly because unless Blizzard starts pumping out patches at an insane speed, they're going to hit a wall every single patch and have nothing left to do.
