I might get it, but I can hardly blame new players, even at level 70, who don't know what the hell is going on, because I've seen it happen to too many intelligent people. There aren't even reliable in-game tools to give them the information they need to be competent. Now, if you don't see that as Blizzards problem, then that's your choice. But you wouldn't make a very good game developer.



Stupid analogy. It's not a job, it's a video game. If a large proportion of your customer base isn't satisfied, then you figure out how to make them satisfied. As with any company that produces products or services. End of story. You sure as hell don't tell them why they should be satisfied with what they have, because that's just going to convince them that you don't give a shit, and make them go somewhere else.



All things considered, I see very few people explicitly calling for nerfs (although it certainly does happen). Certainly not enough to provide a basis for Blizzard to actually nerf content. If they're nerfing content, it's because they've looked at the numbers and found that not enough players are accomplishing what they want them to accomplish.

Players are complaining that there's no PvE progression path for them outside of raids, and that they don't get to participate in the major lore elements without dedicating a large amount of time to raiding, but these aren't requests for nerfs.
