Dan lincon the real MVP all of my characters now are female
read some thing nice, Form the wrath of Bobby and all the ABK Drama, Read comment Some one pour the gas and starting flame war, I Just Pray thing get better Bobby Gone, Some one lead the game right both lore and game, And get over this "Fix" Game and have some thing nice to do keeping the fun of things as we move on In what Fighting cosmos.Just hope it won't be same thing What old Hicks want Depowerd Fighting Murloc or Koboat as We trap in " unknow" place in azeroth and Be bit players to New NPC that glory hogs every thing and leave us with ^&*!@ work, Like fetching firewood for a necromancer, Or help kill rival sorceress, Killers for hire.....
We need more of that.
I just wish more of these things were about how they're passionately developing a compelling game, where the art team doesn't have to pack the whole game on their back every tier. More devs saying I have been working hard to reinvigorate the spirit of the game that made it so popular to begin with, or saying my passion is making the majority of players happy by giving them the things most of them are asking for would be great. There's nothing wrong with most of the things they have listed, but man would I love to see some who actually said they want to make a better game with the gameplay aspects. We know the art team does a good job most of the time (new tier sets are pretty garbo I will admit, but kinda feels like they may have dumped some of the team who did that stuff in the years since they made tier sets? Idk) but the actual gameplay has pretty clearly been suffering. I'd love to have seen a dev say yes, I advocated for covenant restrictions to never exist, or I was pushing for conduit energy to be removed from day 1, or I have fought internally for new systems to respect players time, or anything to do with actual gameplay. Those are the kind of sentiments I'd like to see from devs to have hope the game can get a big boost next patch or expac instead of continuing to die a slow death but at least we have great art and cute battle pets.
There's a bit of irony in saying Wow is not a medium for politics when the entire franchise centers around two political factions who change perspectives and views about each other as well as within their own factions.
Under the cover of &*!@ and drama, you can sometimes oversee the shiny gems beneath. Glad people got to share some more publicly with us. The WoW Playerbase has been missing more interaction with the company, we've felt disconnected by impersonal videos and blue text.

I really need to stop reading comment sections. Such hateful, self-entitled people.
I am not seeing anything about pushing gameplay design to not waste players' time by removing unnecessary timegating like too much randomness in item drops or removal of acquisition of character power by doing boring and daunting tasks (Torghast, grinding research for random conduits, having to go through story etc.)Many things of what they said are cool, but won't do much unless they improve the game itself by removing chore-fest, which is currently necessary to do before being able to play the actual endgame. I can only hope it will be so in 9.2, but I cannot get rid of anxiety that they will do some BS again. As long as the game is dysfunctional by not allowing people to actually play the endgame after extensive and boring time investment, all this effort pointed elsewhere will be for nothing. The devs who design the systems and character power acquisition need to allow players to be able to play endgame earlier, not after they grinded gear in m+/bgs, Torghast or daily quests for over a month.
