Give back pre-DT models back NOW

[Cheapshot]

But yall are still gonna go play with your characters right?

I haven’t. I played about 2 or 3 hours in early access before I gave up and admitted I just wasn’t feelin it. I gave it a real honest try, even tried gaslighting myself that I could get used to it. No success. My attachment to my character is gone and that was pretty integral to my enjoyment of the game. I enjoyed the story and the glams and the adventure because I felt immersed in it all through my attachment to my character. My friends are trying to get me interested again, even buying me game time. But this is the kind of game that many people will enjoy for different reasons and my foundational reason is gone now. Best I can do is try to make reasonable outreaches here and do my best to offer feedback in hopes that they will tweak my features.

But you gotta be subbed and active in game at least every other week to even post here and leave that feedback so…

And this is the first person I will take seriously.

Hey you should probably take anyone seriously who are being sincere about how they feel. Maybe I seem more palatable because I’m civil and articulate, but you don’t have to quit playing like I have so far for complaints or feedback to be valid. As long as someone truly feels and means what they say, their opinion is valuable, yours included.

No one asked or cares whose feedback you take seriously. It's not for you, it's for the devs who told us to post it.

The same goes to anyone else who is under the misconception that their opinion about someone else's character, feedback or playstyle matters.

Of course providing a counter point matters, if the other person clamors for changes that might affect me as well.

You'd have a point if the counter points were just people commenting on their own race and not a-holes gatekeeping feedback that doesn't concern them.

No one is "Gatekeeping" anything, since no one here can actually hinder another person from posting.
Spare me the Social Media nonsense buzzwords.

Fact is: I don't want the old models back. I don't want the old lighting back.
I like the new models and I am looking forward to SE actually capitalizing on their capabilities (kind of a bummer that they don't, chars even have actually rigged tongues now Oo).

SE can go ham in terms of adding more options, I'll never be against more variety but I DO NOT WANT CHANGES to what is there right just to please a few people that are obsessed. And I am certain that I am not alone with this sentiment.

You say excuses, I say applying logic. There is absolutely no reason they wouldn't take advantage of the new facial rigging if it had been available in time, especially considering how often food comes up in the MSQ.

There is another theory: SE wants to introduce things in a more gradual way.
Right now some things about the models changed, there is no denying that. By sticking to the old animations for now, SE doesn't exacerbate the perception of "everything changed OMG where is my character!"

I vividly remember being quite displeased not just with the new model of my Draenei but specifically her new animations that changed her character much more than any model could.

If people are raging about some mouth being a few mm shorter, imagine them raging against new animation work that goes completely against their imagined WOL behavior.

Not sure if SE will ever have the courage to go ham with animations for our WoL during MSQ or whether they restrict themselves to optional emotes and NPCs.

"I like my character so fuck you if you don't like yours. What I want is valid, what you want is not."

Dear, we want them to fix the faces they fucked up and ruined, stop being ridiculous.
