"Shadowlands had a major philosophical shift of "what if there were a really cool thing to chase?" Korthia sockets were supposed to be a long-term stretch goal to maximize your character, but they came to realize there's a difference between power options and exclusive power that can't be gotten anywhere else. The latter very quickly become perceived as requirements rather than options."So did they just not learn ANYTHING from benthic gear in Nazjatar or what? I swear Blizzard just dont give a rat's ass. Repeated mistakes and it's always the same "we're going to focus on listening to feedback" same bs every time. But it's cool I guess, they admitted they were wrong...again...

They need to stop giving interviews to 1% people who are trying to push the game to cater to them rather than the majority. Someone like Max should be in no position to be talking about the game as a whole since he's only focused on raiding and his approach is a fraction of a fraction of the player base. All the interviews are basically groupthink with the same type of player who represents a tiny but incredibly loud minority of players.Where's all the talk about making the journey matter again, making the world matter again, de-emphasizing M+ and raiding toxicity?
"The Creation Catalyst tries to fulfil multiple goals, but they don't want it to be the initial source of getting tier gear. They want raiding to be advantaged because competitiveness in raiding is very frontloaded, especially in progression races, while Mythic+ and PvP is very backloaded as players push higher levels over the course of the tier. Because of this, they don't feel the catalyst coming a few weeks into the season is a major disadvantage for non-raiders." - like what the hell? What a complete wrong take. The power of tier sets is not that impactful like it used to be in s3/4 SL but nonetheless it is a rlly strong powerspike. Hiding that power from a person that does not want to raid obviously decreases this players chances of succeeding in m+ especially if u do not have an organized group, people will not play with you. The earlier you get score on your character the easier/better the enviroment of players become. Imagine faker would start at a 500 gold deficit during worlds finals, sounds fair to me because his abilities are not so frontloaded but rather backloaded (kekW).
Watching the interview makes me think max put 0 effort and thought into the questions, he asked too many dumb questions and things he was just spit balling. Not a fan of these more personal stuff and want more interviews how Preach and Sloot does them, right to the point and good thought-out questions.
One day we will get rid off the C word raid.That day WoW will be GOD again.
wish we didnt have to wait for the catalyst so long. from personal experience i can say that that is 1000% the only way to get tier. before it was open i was on the short list of people who didnt have their 2pc set or even a single piece. if it wasnt for that i wouldnt have got a 4pc tier set till near the end of the patch when my token droped for people who could trade it since the druid token wasnt droping to often for my groups.
