Oh Blizzard, where did it all go wrong? The game in general is in the worst position I think I've ever seen it at the beginning of an expansion and I'm tired of paying for a game that should pretty much still be in beta at the rate things are changing.
I've had enough of your refusal to show any form of true transparency in your design philosophy. You make change after change with half-assed explanations that leave a lot of us frustrated and in the dark all while expecting us to pay for this kind of treatment. Either your design team have completely lost the plot, or you've made some major cut-backs. More likely you've moved most of the design team off of WoW to work on other projects and are just happy to let WoW continue on its own momentum until it fizzles out... So what, we've been relegated to being an after thought now...?
I feel frustrated and irritated that a company of your calibre is openly willing to treat it's customers with such pig-headedness given the resources at your disposal. And no people whining does not give a company a free pass to behave like this. Many things wrong with this game at the moment were well documented in the beta but you went ahead with them anyway against the very good advise of actual paying customers. And to this day still continue to ignore the same very good advise.
You've lost it Blizzard old boy, you really have ballsed it up. I've never seen the relationship between you and your customers in such a poor state... Don't get me wrong the new starter areas are amazing and I emensly enjoyed the new high-level zones, but they don't last forever and I'm sorry to say the end-game is in the worst position I've ever seen it... HC's, PvP, balance, progression - it's all been a complete fiasco and I for one have had enough of it.
The only thing that explains this kind of incompetence in a game of this scale is either a major lack of man power or the wrong people pulling the strings (aka Ghostcrawler & Co). So if you're not willing to put the right amount of people or right people behind it, then I'm not willing to pay for it, it's as simple as that.
Yours truly,
a very disgruntled ex-customer
