But the existence of entitled players isn't evidence that the debate hasn't been settled, it's evidence that these players are exceptionally resistant to the idea that their preferred game isn't the one we're playing.Your position is mystifying. The reality of the situation is probably a lot less interesting but it won't stop people like you from citing it a decade after the fact as evidence that 'we did it Reddit!' is the way the game should be designed.Ĭorrect - it's not settled for the entitled players who want the game the way they want and do not care about anybody else's opinions (especially the ones who ~gasp~ might even enjoy the status quo). I kinda dislike that Blizzard changed their mind since it gives the impression that populist movements can actually force their hands. It's why I consider game design via democracy a terrible, awful idea since it would force developers to implement 'popular' features instead of focusing on, y'know, making a good game. Game designers need to be able to discern between what a playerbase wants and what is actually longterm going to help keep their game alive.

There's a lot of stuff that the playerbase wants that is very bad for the game. I could make a thread entitled, 'you should get a full set of Mythic gear for logging into the game,' and I'd wager it'd get a lot of support from people on this forum. Its a good idea on paper, but its not like Blizzard to allow such things, unless Delves only reward gear at Vault and the rest is irrelevant WQ ilvl items, then it would make sense, since it would take like 2 months for them to catch up gear wise, which is enough extra $. Which if the case, its gonna be useless for anyone higher skilled if so.

I bet ya its braindead freebie content by second week for the same people that do 15-20s in the second week either way, and this very forum is gonna scream dear murder about gear imbalance and Delves are made for raiders again, while these 'raiders' are gonna clean them with M0 gear, something everyone has access to.Įither way, something that rewards such high gear to the masses is gonna be either blocked by something like Reputation, or timegated, you cant have the returning low skilled masses getting gear quickly at the initial launch, point is to keep them as long as possible. So they'll give as good gear as any M+ end of dungeon chest gives, though it remains to be seen if the Delve Great Vault options will extend beyond that.The highest rank of Delve will eventually reward HC Raid Item level, i think in the showcase it was +12. Delves will give up to Heroic Raid tier ilvl.
