      Purely a guess but maybe he means some of the spells you’re forced to take by certain classes’ paths for talents? For example, I hate that I need to take cyclone or soothe as a druid in order to get stampeding roar and lycara’s teaching. Both spells right there that are basically useless and I don’t even put in my action bar as a pve-focused guardian Druid. 🤷🏻‍♂️

    Frankly, as a BC-baby, I am one of those who agree that they should move the release date back. The current issues players are experiencing with pre-patch were never fixed in beta from my own delving into it. And while some may be saying there's little difference comparing War Within to previous expansion betas...I disagree. Again, comparisons on my own previous experience. I will not list everything I've had to cause me doubts, but it is enough to say for all the huge changes they're implementing, they really, realistically should push release back. Unless they intend to continue working on the expansion's problems as it goes live--which is really not a good idea imo.

    It's worth noting that testers have no context for saying that something should be delayed. Testers *report* bugs, and the design/development teams *fix* bugs. If a tester doesn't have access to design docs or code, they have no basis for saying that they think a launch, which is still 4-weeks away for early-access, _ought to be delayed._ Seems like more drama than substance to me.

    I know that a lot of people HATE lulls (I'm actually not one of them - it's when I feel like I'm as powerful as I'm going to get for awhile and can relax with alts, achievements, mount/mog hunting) and miss the days of "we're done when we're done." At some point, that "roadmap" gets in the way because it doesn't account for a LOT of stuff - technical issues, unforeseen (or just not easily expected) issues, staff turnover, etc. I wish the "roadmap" was simply a guide. Plus if this causes extreme crunch to the workers, I'm not for it. Or have the roadmap have a bit more leeway. It doesn't HAVE to move this fast. Give both players and workers more breathing space. It DOES NOT have to be this tight. It's to the point where I can't even do everything I want to do, much less the extra fun stuff I usually do at the end of xpac. Too much of this and I (and many other busy adults) could burn out. And I also don't want to dev and QA team to burn out.
    As for bugs? One of my MAIL (from one of my alts) bugged. I have to remember to NOT click on it, or it crashes the game. I can't delete it either.

    turns out Blizzard wanting to release expansions faster than they were barely able to before was a bad idea and not going to work out... how the heck is blizzard still unable to figure out the developers need TIME to develop things properly? why do they want to keep forcing crunch on the WoW devs and force them to rush things out?
    there is so little actual time to work on things that WoW devs aren't able to be creative, try new things properly (with feedback from users) and so on. They just repeat the same formula of content over and over cause they have no time to try anything else. And if they do try something new, they can't spend much resources on it so it's done half-assed and usuall abandoned when the concept itself had potential (like Torghast without player power/grind, Warfront with better AI and full pvp, etc).
    hopefully the new Union for the devs can change that, cause it's unfeasible and basically slave driving. There's a reason the recent good expansions required the previous expansion to be cut-short or abandoned, plus having delays. Cause the devs need time to develop, but Blizzard have gone years refusing to see that :/

    For me, the game is experiencing a lot more lagging, Frame drops etc since pre patch. Warbands take a loooong time to load up and the info displayed on the mouse hover has been inconsistent everytime. Sometimes it shows things like, gold, professions. Etc -- other times its missing half that info. Also i must be missing something because it changed the talents and all that, but i cant start leveling to get my hero talents. Having a new feature dangled in front of my face in game and then be gated on being able to use it, seems like a fail to me. Id rather wait for it to be in game until i can actually use it. I could also just be stupid and it will let me start leveling but so far No dice, and nothing new in the suggested content tab until radiant echos, which they decided to launch a week after they overhaul the talents? Just seems disjointed.

    Bugs aside when it comes to classes feeling wonky or some not having their updated talent trees. I think the reality of MMOs like WoW is you never get the real feel till expansion launch or sometimes endgame. I remember the Legion Pre-patch where several classes that would later become top performers in Emerald nightmare and nighthold felt like crap because they were missing Artifact powers.

    I'd rather see a delay. Let the pre patch events go as normal, allow for players to take their timerunners into the prepatch once remix ends, then put out some fixes and delay the actual launch for another month. If we've learned anything about player psychology its that people are certainly willing to come back for a good product / pay for a good product even if it's a little buggy, but players will jump ship as soon as bugs become too prevalent. Things are only going to get more complicated going forward with the unionization of development teams because crunches will likely go away and we will either see longer time periods between releases or more unfinished products than we currently are.

    The concept of borrowed power in WoW is frustrating; you grind throughout an expansion only for it to become obsolete in the next, where you start the grind anew. Moreover, with an abundance of spells and abilities, some should be modified or removed. It's perplexing why they would add more-perhaps to create confusion? Blizzard, as mentioned, is flush with funds and should invest in fixing these issues, even if it means updating or replacing the game engine. They're earning from expansions, subscription fees, tokens, and of course, microtransactions. So I really don't understand why they don't do their job? Every one of us who played the game more than 10 years know what is the problem, it's not possible that they don't. If they don't do this, someone might, and that will really be the end of the best game ever!

    Personally, I’d rather they wait the next phase until the issues are fixed. They are working with old code so I can just imagine the headaches they are dealing with. Introducing more new with outstanding issues is just asking for things to blow up … or fizzle and die. Unless they know that the new stuff will fix the issues? Hey, it could happen!
    The next thing to consider is how would a delay affect Blizzard? Monetarily of course as rep is .. well what it is. Would pushing everything a week cost? Because reputation will be affected a LOT if they release this Tuesday and things get worse.
    Everyone seems to be running around getting 480 gear, farming mounts - or at least I am seeing a lot of other players when I do these - so I think players will be ok for a week push. Oh yeah people will laugh, and some will gripe, but they will either way.
