  1. The game was rushed and not even finished, they probably didn’t even have 9.1 started yet. That explains why they didn’t show anything at blizzcon, they had nothing done and nothing to show. If 9.1 is in fact August? Game over man. Ion needs to step down.

  2. I personally don’t mind waiting for 9.1, I’m still a believer of the (old blizzard) saying “it’s ready when it’s ready”. My concerns are just with direction of certain aspects of the game… why are they devoting so many resources to torghast?

  3. The other players are so toxic I want to quit anyway. We had a bunch of people kicked from a raid last night because we started a discord up. We literally got kicked. I would have rage quit last night if I didn't have 2 more months on my sub.

  4. A little push back on Blizzards business strategy with this. I'm a business consultant, and this isn't a smart choice. They're leveraging on high emotional switching costs and low comparable competition to use this to try and increase revenues. However they're doing this without a solid PR follow up to help control the narrative, and without a large incentive for people to stay. With 9.1 delayed for so long that even normal players are losing interest in the game, changing the pricing model to make people pay more and subscribe for longer when many are already not interested, is playing chicken when they have little reason to cave. They're going to lose a lot of players over this, far more than they gain an extra month on. These players won't forget either when Wow eventually comes out with new content.

  5. There's no way I'm waiting almost 10 months for next patch and paying for it, while having nothing new in the game, I already got AOTC and KSM a while ago. The game feels less rewarding, not to mention that it stills a non friendly alt game, which makes it even harder to wanna replay it. Maybe add 1 new dungeon every 1 month or so while we wait for the next raid patch. It can be done, taking in consideration that blizzard loves using old models and mechanics for every new content.

  6. In my country wow is 8 times more expensive and I'm a student. I might aswell play League of Legends for free and pay their skins that amount for my pleasure with supporting a company who actually does something for their game every two weeks. Right when we think Blizzard got back into job they somehow throw it away.

  7. Hey now. of COURSE it's going to take till aug/nov to put it out. When you strip your dev team through paying the ones that even stay, shit wages, you can expect it takes significantly longer. Bobbie needs all that money he would pay his employees a competitive wage with to line his giant money vault. Poor bobbie doesn't have nearly enough money so he must hack wages and employee numbers to the bone so that small country he's eyeing for purchase, he'll be able to afford.

    I mean, he's MUCH more personally important than the health of the cash cows produced by his company. I'm sure everybody will keep playing when there's 2 people doing development, chained to their desks, getting paid 2 bucks an hour in a 3rd world country doing all the content creation.

  8. Blizzard had tons of time even the money to get things together even with Covid going on they had time. Meaning they not the best in the business anymore. With the sub thing seem like Wow it's going fall one day by it self slowly overtime being more shady then before.

  9. Trimming the Fat is a natural part of every Corporation as it is a business. Here is the problem, If incompetent leadership is in charge as it is then they keep those like them that spin the political and inside story around and get rid of everyone doing the work. Now you used to have an A team as in the Best expansions, then the B team goes out and ruins most of every A concept and success and people on the A team get sick of that BS and say why are we here working our ass off while this Incompetent moron keeps making more money and gives us shit and not the LAZY endless meeting unproductives?

  10. – No new content / Content draught
    – Fire employees and give CEO $200m
    – Endgame is pretty bad for things to actually do for fun
    – Sleazy new business model
    – Broken classes / no fixes
    – Broken PvP

    This company is making it VERY easy for people like me to end this abusive relationship.

  11. Many games have pushed their release dates out quite a ways. I think they need to hire more people for these teams, but feel thatd be abit challenging right now too.. most of the people who were let go weren't content creators.

  12. I think many players are willing to have a little patience for 9.1 considering the COVID effect but if it doesn’t come out until August?!?! Damn! That’s just unacceptable

  13. So can we expect the end of expansion in-game market collapse by 9.1? Prices are already falling low while the token is predictably rising. Any thoughts? There is no content so people just farm tanking prices?

  14. I lost about 4000 stygia because I was phased away from my body died in a boss fight came back the boss was dead and my body was gone. The blizzard GM's basically told me to get f*****. Blizzard's customer service is in the toilet right now.

  15. For me, I want to see Blizzard keep the one-month subscription that auto renews and I don’t have to worry about wasting money on in subbing due to financial reasons like getting laid off. A six month subscription would be nice for me if I had a secure job.
