    To be fair you should really be tracking painsmith progression. Once hes down the rest of the instance is usually mopped up in two weeks.

    Yeah, only the real WoW fans complain about literally fucking everything then after they get shit still complain that they had to complain to begin with. These are totally the kind of players that Blizzard needs to listen to.

    Nothing changes what I wrote. the number of people who get CE even after 6 months is trivial. The number who have it now is inconsequential.

    People need to have perspective.

People actually praised Blizzard for listening during SL Alpha/Beta (unlike BfA Alpha/Beta).

    Also obviously people starting to quit February/March is because covenant choice, not because there was no new patch. Duh.

    This patch is just typical lifting off restriction from launch on late expac. Done sooner than usual, cause SL should perform better at this stage of expansion. Don't make from it Mike Ybarra descending from heavens to punish Ion and bring back balance to the force.
    It was pretty dang unified the only people against being able to easily swap were those who wanted to punish "elitists" and barely played the game.

    Man I wish that was a thing in wow also badges need badges back for gear because sometimes rng just hates you.

    I have some hope for Blizzard when they:

    1) Don't add a new arbitrarily restrictive or pain in the ass system in 9.2
    2) Don't add a new arbitrarily restrictive or pain in the ass system in 9.3
    3) Don't add a new arbitrarily restrictive or pain in the ass system in 10.0
    4) Don't ignore good criticism and requests for improvement for one of those 3 (or all) systems and then launch with them the way they were announced
    5) Proceed to "fix" the mess they made with the system in the first place 2 patches later

    there is no 'new management'. old management is just being quiet. very quiet. everytime they make a statement, they eat shit. so they are staying very quiet.
    there is no redeeming blizzard at this point. there has been too much damage.
    they dont care about making a good game/world anymore.

    great analogy
    In what world are they catering to the 5%? Top end raiders hate the system upon system upon system believe it or not most high end raiders only want to do prog then raid log. They don't want to spend 15 hours a day the week before prog grinding the latest daily zone or make multiple of the same class to combat shard drop rng.

I'm really confused, maybe you lot should try playing the game instead of echoing fake complaints here all day.
    You could clear heroic without covenants it isn't hard past the first week. Systemlands is not a good expansion 9.1.5 has the potential to make it semi decent but it shouldn't have taken a year to get here when we provided copious amounts of feedback during alpha and beta.

    Nah dude, you see, because {random internet person} cannot fathom somebody liking a thing they don't, they have to blame somebody for it. And because raiders, you know, actually play the game...they're clearly the reason everything sucks.

Literally trolling prolly if youre claiming BfA was more alt friendly then stating exact parallels as to why your complaints about SL aren't even real.
    How is 230 ilvl a metric of anything? We're two months into the patch and that's barely above what people had in the previous patch lol

    For example for performance players they are terrible pigeonholing players into one high end, end game unless it just so happens they are so unbalanced one covenant reigns supreme.

    For casual players they offer a pitfall where weeks of progress are shown to be wasted if the gap in covenants was so large it massively hindered their ability to advance in content ( granted outside of mythic this was rare).

    Now that focuses on the game play implications but what about its stated goal of giving the player a sense of individuality and personalization?

    I would argue it failed utterly there to. The covenants offer to easily to obtain rewards for them to feel meaning. Even the hardest cosmetic reward to acquire the kyrian set doesn't really offer a unique enough flare to push people towards obtaining it. The system restricts players without offering them a tangible benefit.

    That said simply saying something terrible is still uselssful even if it's not so in depth just as saying you like something. A lot of the spite towards blizzard stems from their utter disdain and arrogance when it comes to their playerbase...

    I want to make something painful clear. For the past 3 expansions blizzard has failed utterly to provide new forms of content or systems that succeeded with their playerbase barring the exception of the mage tower. This is a company that had thousands of it's best players testing their game for free offer hundreds of thousands of hours of data and thousands of pages of feedback constantly and consistantly warning them of their failures..

    There shouldn't be any wonder why the community is done being charitable in anyway. I can't imagine any other business where you could fail constantly for over three years and still be employed much less still giving of a " we know best" attitude.
    It's actually not hard. Separate player power from the story make covenants harder to change think like a month of their dumb forgiveness quest but purely cosmetic/lore based. We were begging them to do that for months starting with alpha.

    It's not "swallowing pride". This is done on purpose. They know the subs will drop and introduce the changes after the drop to try and draw people back.
    If what doesn't kill you, makes you stronger. Then I should be a god by now.

    Blizzard with the big brain plays: Make the game bad on purpose so they can get players to quit the game and resub when they change the things everybody hates.

    Do you realize that conduit energy was made for a reason? Sometimes you gotta make some choices, not just mindlessly selecting best talents and going on.

    Do you have any friggin idea how many ridiculously stupid wishes and demands they get during a beta? If they would listen to all that nonesense then the game would have to deliver 50 times the content it does just to satisfy halve of them. At some point they have to stick to some design philosophy and cut their losses.

    The infinite arrogance of these forums is astounding, but not really surprising anymore.

    Is Shadowlands perfect? No, of course not. But thinking that your personal input is what would have changed it all for the better is truely the peak of arrogance.

    But to answer the OP. People complain because they enjoy complaining in this forum. That this is still called MMO-Champion is pure irony. Halve of them aren't playing the game at all and just enjoy shitting all over it. There is no change in the game they would not complain about. Blizzard could send everyone 10 million gold tomorrow and people would complain they had to walk to a mailbox to pick it up.
    Do you have any idea how many capped threads were begging them for a ripcord? It was legitimately over 50 before the end of beta and continued in the general forums after until most of the people pushing for it gave up and unsubbed.

    It is ironic. Most raiders I know want nothing more then to seal themselves into their guilds and only log in to raid, do rated pvp, and or mythic plus 25+.

    Yet we want power tied to dailies for...reasons?

    I'm sure Blizzard will be quick to add the ability to have a full set of Mythic gear as a reward for successfully typing in your username and password. Hopefully this is on their list of features to add in 10.0.

    I mean it will go into the cash shop with the other mog so who cares at this point?

    Of course, and if not for that tough, heart-breaking, meaningful(tm) choice I had to make when selecting my conduits, I'd have literally zero fun in SL. If this change ever goes life, I'm quitting the game. /please validate my bitching by giving me even more attention/

    There's also the fact that this has been happening for quite a while. If we want to be nice, we can say "since Legion" - sure, they have been ignoring feedback for far longer than (especially on WoW EU forums, which were completely neglected by devs since the very beginning), but it has become incredibly blatant in the last few years.

    What's funny is that Shadowlands alpha/beta didn't seem that bad in the beginning. Yeah, sure, covenants were a terrible idea, but it did seem like they were listening to some feedback about other things. Unfortunately, this has stopped rather quickly, their stance on ripcord remained unchanged and we got the product that was, once again, much inferior to what could have been.

    I suppose that one "good" thing about this is that we're getting the changes we wanted in 9.1.5 instead of 9.3 or something. On the other hand, with first major patch being delayed and no one knowing if were even getting 9.3, this might not actually be all that "early". Plus the blue post is still defending their initial approach to covenants, so... yeah. They still think they had a great idea - it's just that players have been whining too much to appreciate it. Makes me almost certain they will repeat the same mistakes in next expansion.

    That's some S-tier cynicism there. At that rate why does Blizzard do anything?
