And not having a new class or anything exciting or "features" that don't mess with people's ways of playing the game via time gating or locking players into a single toon/spec for 2 years, no account-wide reps and not having to wait for 2 years to unlock flying means that most people who are hungry for an exciting new MMORPG experience will probably bleed whatever is left of the player base to Amazon's shiny next gen "New World" MMORPG that is releasing in a few months, April 1st if you pre-purchase.
I don't get why Blizzard must dictate choices like an angry parent would do to an uncontrollable child. It's not very complicated to understand, classes/specs give the game a whole new dimension and allow for 36 different ways of enjoying the game at the most basic level, why not just let people enjoy the endless variety without being chained?
I haven't had so much fun in my entire 15 years of playing wow like I have been recently while leveling up alts in the Korrak event AV. Especially as a PVE player, I got to enjoy PVP-only abilities that added so much more enjoyment to the otherwise quick-to-get-boring rotation.
I really don't understand the logic, if anyone can explain the reasons behind such strict rules when it comes to playing a main vs an alt, please enlighten me!
It never gets old if I feel super excited to switch between specs and classes and not feel held back, it means I keep playing wow forever and never get bored because I'm playing not one rotation, but 36 different rotations ALL THE TIME. It's impossible to get bored with that.
What does Amazon have to do with anything? Well, it's a no monthly sub game costing only 40 bucks...and it is said to allow a single toon to be any "class" they want to be by simply changing their weapon...even in combat. It's classless I know. It has housing, one of a few major features WoW does not have yet. It seems to promise to be giving the players a lot more choice than WoW currently does.
