Yesterday evening, Blizzard did their first AMA on Reddit. And the results… they are not promising for my WoW future, and make me question if it’s time to finally make my leave.
Going over the list on Wowhead, I clearly see they’re taking WoW to be more community and less solo. Not that soloing isn’t an option anymore, they’re making it for the social-starved community as their primary focus(aka, dungeons/raids). That is fine.
However… what they said about Garrisons; how it’s unlikely they’ll be doing anything major for them in 6.1.. or even the entirety of the expansion, is not fine. They even went as far as to say, that another expansion is required… SERIOUSLY.. ANOTHER FUCKING EXPANSION?!?! They couldn’t do it during the beta… after all we said?!
We don’t even know how the Garrison will fare for the next expansion! And it’s not even mentioned if it’ll be free content!
What upsets me about this, that these things will never happen;
-Changes to dailies. Not even a change to Apexis gear not being a full set.
-Faction-customized Garrisons. I’m surprised more people aren’t pissed about this.
-Tier 4 Garrison. Heard this was in the beta, but before I showed up.
-A House building for true Player Housing. …This is what made me unsub.
And unsubscribe I have. It took guts, but I did it. I also had a guarantee I’ll still be able to play ’till March 22nd, 2015.
This doesn’t make me feel any better, but I do hope that served as a slight wakeup call to Blizzard. Any type of wakeup call is all I want to see, that I’m not taking their BS anymore.
They had MONTHS… YEARS to get this right. But it seems they were busy high on Vodka while working on this. This is how they can lie through their teeth during BlizzCon, when they say they care about the community. They don’t care. If they did, they would had listened to us during the beta. It’s all bullshit.
Someone did make a thread explaining about how he’s going to EverQuest 2, and what he said really interested me. He said “it’s like WoW but better”. As in, it has player housing. But sadly, the thread got deleted by Blizzard’s crack dick team of stupid moderators, who can’t stand fun.
