    Thank you all for watching! If you are new and didn't really know Preach before, i strongly recommend you check out his channel, especially now that he will start covering more variety games and i'm sure Final Fantasy 14 too.
    He is one of the pillars of the WoW community and deserves your sub: *ua-cam.com/users/mikepreachwow*

It really shows that Blizzard has been out of touch with the entire MMO market. They literally had to just look at any top 10 mmo list and one of the year prior to that and ask themselves what causes that certain MMO to drop from that list.
      9/10 times its unnecessary grind, p2w shops, or making it so easy to catch up for new players that the best way to play the game is to just not play it and wait for idiots to spend 20 hours of their day grinding every so you can get it for free a month later.

      Working from home is fantastic as a software developer. You can set up your own space, work in your own time, and you don't have people walking by constantly pestering you. In addition, its easier to get better setups at home, when we remote last March I was finally able to go from a laptop and a single monitor to a full 3 monitor setup. Working from home is not an excuse if you're an even semi-competent developer.

      theres lots of things in the game to do, maybe not for current expansion but outside of that is lots to do.

The details of this situation are especially damning though. I mean an employee committed suicide after a truly horrific situation of physical sexual exploitation by her boss and sexual abuse from a large number of her male coworkers. They shared photos of her naked in public at a holiday party and faced no consequences. Physical sexual harassment (groping, menacing advances, jabbing) seems to be happening on a mass scale too. Most companies will never have a situation like that. There are good people there too, but I really wonder which group is larger and what the exact proportions of this are.

As time went on however it became increasingly obvious that Blizzard devs think themselves superior to their fans and player base. They believed that it was up to them to tell us what we want and that actually listening to players was beneath them. And so about 2 years ago I decided enough was enough and just boycotted Blizz/Activision altogether. You want to believe yourselves superior to me Blizz? Well you can do it without my money.

    MadSeason, Swifty, Preach... just to name a few. Noticed tonight during prime time on my realm that nothing was very busy at all. Not my covenant, not Oribos, not even Korthia was all that busy. The game is dying and Blizzard is holding the smoking gun. I actually fired up my Albion Online account again tonight. Such a neat sandbox MMO. Been kinda fun to tinker around with it again. I think I'm pretty much done with WoW like so many others. Been a wild ride over the years. Started playing in late vanilla and only quit once for a year during Cata. But all good things come to an end.

      BTC hits another bearish cost as individuals expanded their offers in order to make immense addition from the ascent however as we would all be able to see now the market is truly insecure , truly you can generally make more benefit from tradn instead of just hodlin and sitting tight at the cost of BTCto soar . Surely its an extreme choice for both old and beginners whose intensions are simply to hodl and sell yet rather the possibilities of tradnBtc would permit you develop yourBtc not disapproving of the current value graph and furthermore saving your butt from any future profound that may happen . I began tradn with Daniel Wright since toward the end of last year and till date have made over 16Btc even with the high points and low points since the excursion.

    The good thing about FFXIV for instance is that when a class is unbalanced (too powerful) instead of nerfing it and frustrate the players, they buff other classes and fights to balance them

    I did see this already but good for Preach, and hope he can transition to multiple games but most importantly is happy doing it.
    I have much sympathy for people who are stuck with making WoW content as a living and are too small to move away from WoW.

    The thing with the percentage nerfs hits me so hard, look at League of Legends fine tuning, and especially look at the Cryteks video called Hunt Showdown, the patch changes, in test and live, are so miniscule but have a great impact. The changes in there are at most difference by 2-4% differences. That is fine tuning. Going into a system and be like "Here, 50%, go bash skulls" isn't.

    Actually i did always enjoy Preach's WoW content. But in the last few years, i realized how i watched him less and less, but it wasn't because i didn't like his channel anymore! The only reason was, that i didn't want to play WoW anymore and as such, didn't want to watch content about it.
    Looking forward to your new projects and ideas! Will definitely check it out.
