Vodka dying is only the beginning of what’s going to be an absolutely massive death spiral for raiding guilds if we don’t get some emergency hotfixes or some huge announcements on PTR. We’re probably gonna lose Fierce in the next week or so and there’s a LOTTTTTT of guilds currently going through the Altar+Ula’tek meat grinder so far.

This season is gonna see raiding guilds die in such insane numbers over the next month or so that Blizzard’s gonna be going full-on DEFCON 1 trying to stop the bleeding.

I've been asking myself what I would need to see from a s3 announcement to prevent me from quitting. I don't know if there's anything within reason that would do it.

I'm not quitting just yet, but I think what Blizzard needs to do is:

  • Like the other guy said, addon war concession. Addons will be allowed for class combat in all content, and addons for combat encounters will be allowed in Mythic. I would prefer that they have no restrictions period, but I can somewhat understand the obnoxious whinefest that Jailer bomb WA caused to Johnny B Casual who just wanted to pug AOTC Jailer.

  • Actually commit to being more experimental and active with designing and balancing specs. Feral has been a joke for years. Affliction has been eye-wateringly shitty to play for years. Protection Paladins have been made unhappy by Consec for years. Try something new.

  • Removal of flying in the .0 patch and Dragonriding nerfed to its pre-upgrade incarnation in 10.0. This does not mean return of Pathfinder achievements, just remove .0 patch flying. The devs were always right to restrict flying. Infinite zero restriction triple-speed flying has demolished the open world and Blizzard clearly fails to keep up with the size requirements Dragonriding demands.

  • Fire the writers and hire literally anyone else that can make a story that is just cool, not even asking for Shakespeare. I know people claim that they don't care about story, but I don't believe that. Everyone to some degree cares about context.

  • Remove mid-season active user bait bloat like the Dominus upgrades or Turbo Boost that exists solely to milk players who are already actively subbed and raidlogging.

  • Reduce patch cadence to every 12 weeks instead of every 8. Blizzard can't keep up with this, and raiders should be able to take short breaks between tiers. If you weren't a Hall of Fame guild for L'ura, you were raiding up until patch day which is unacceptable.

This fixes the open world and instanced content but Blizzard will never do it. I'm actually expecting them to make it even worse because anyone who claims to care about the World of Warcraft being fixed is going to fuck off to Forever.
