Is the anger in the community or is it in the "content" creators who depend on Blizzard giving them news so they can talk about it for weeks instead of actually trying to be creative and make their own content?
And no, this place is not representative, especially this thread.

Whole part of secrecy and teasing and the way of doing it, prolonging it that creates a feeling of disappointment more than excitement at this point, gives me at least the idea that they don't even know what they want to do there.
I've played other games and mmo's, there been situations like these handled with more secrecy and it was handled a lot better and by companies that have less years up their sleeve.
I was pretty much having fun and joking before, but they turned this into a bad joke, at least to me, but everyone is allowed to have their own opinion on that, blizzard doesn't pay me to clap for anything.
Well i can judge the situation created that led to it, no matter if its wow or some other game having teases campaigns and such.
We're all allowed to have our own opinion on that, i won't try forcing anyone to the one i have, even if it might sound more on the negative side.
17 mins to go, surely this time!![]()
Here's the thing: post-expac content has normally been non-existent OR just S4 in Shadowlands. The expectations were set higher for DF when they revealed that there would be ongoing bi/trimonthly patches for post-expansion content besides just S4... and then there was backlash because portions of one of those patches (10.2.5) were seen as buggy and/or low effort. So currently there's some whiplash online.
Yes, SOME content is better than absolutely none, but because people had higher expectations on these post-expac patches (especially when 10.0.7 and 10.1.5 were fairly meaty) I think some people are just in a worse mood during the TWW Waiting Room Period. Hence people being more antsy/attentive about 10.2.6. I don't think it will be that substantial of a patch and the gamemode(?) will likely be fairly divisive, so it will just lead to more anger. While the dripfeed content is, again, better than nothing, it is probably going to lead to some upset players.
Historically in a WoW expansion lull you would just go play other games. But if they are encouraging people to play during an expansion lull, and the patches are seen as low-effort/bad, you will get unhappy campers who feel like Blizz is tricking them into subbing.

So, instead of the issue being content-creators/the community itself overhyping themselves, the issue is on Blizzard for not... what?
I don't see how Blizzard is tricking anyonne into subbing. Like, you are allowed to stay unsubbed until after a patch is out.
People just need to step outside for a bit and chill. There's more games than WoW. There's more to life than being disappointed that a x.x.6 patch is not "meaty" enough because you yourself hyped it up to a level that it obviously wasn't gonna reach.
Damn, i was contacted by blizzard lawyers - I take all my words back, it's all on community. You blizzard.. You are literally perfect, im very sorry.

Once again:
People need to take a step back and evaluate their lives if they actually get upset by that. Disappointing? Sure. Angry and throwing vitriol? Deranged.
"Oh, you expect me to resub for a 5 quest questchain?!?!?"
No one expected anyone to resub for anything lmao.
And yeah, the community absolutely overhyped themselves. I don't know who expected anything longer than what we got based on all the other .5 quest chains like the Eredar one or even Lordaeron.
