Predictions for OC/FT Live Letter

[CidHeiral]

But the issue is at the end of the day when you tell a large chunk of your playerbase, who has paid for the expansion, and the subscription, and has not received any meaningful content since expansion launch, loved bodjza , was hyped out around it, just to be told that they were forgotten about, and that they were not given what the team had already did last time, and the raiders, who have gotten 2 raid tiers, an ultimate, and a 24 man chaotic practically every couple of months, were chosen instead of them, because "it cost too much" is just a slap in the face. Full stop.

Like, what are the casual playerbase paying for if the devs showed that they will never be prioritized when the chips are down.

If you compare the amount of difficult raids to every other type of content dropping it's clear that casual players are still getting the lion's share of content. Could the more substantive casual content have come out sooner in the expansion cycle? Sure, I think that would have been a better decision than frontloading all the raid content, but ultimately the majority of content in this game is still casual content. Saying you're getting "slapped in the face" because you ate most of the pie but someone else got the last slice seems a bit silly. Plus they just said they're going to try to prioritize a normal mode for the next one so it's a bit of a moot point either way.

I think what they do is look at the raiding content and are angry that it lasts a bit longer than say, a 24-man Alliance Raid. They don't understand that for every version of savage and extremes they also get normal versions. The only exclusive thing "hardcore raiders" have is Ultimate, Chaotic and maybe DR/BA/FT. That's it.
