But in BFA, everyone understood Azerite armor was trash in beta and blizzard said dont worry we have fixes in shop. In Beta shamans were terrible and had many bugs and problems that weren't addressed. The initial tier comes around and TBC Classic Gold rather than them fixing shamans they state the first patch Shamans will probably be fixed. So they somehow made insect fixing shamans a content feature in the first significant patch in an effort to keep people subscribed or deliver them back into the match.
I have and never will understand why they keep shooting themselves in the foot like that. Would not expanding upon a system instead of scrapping it and doing something else be better for them? They'd spare time not having to plan a whole new system, and the majority of the time the system they are actually currently using, they've just spent a year fixing. Why go through this cycle again instead of using the fixed system.
As much as BFA was bad, the HoA wasn't a bad system when they secured it up and they could've easily done more with that going into Shadowlands.
Why not just base it in SW/ORG and expand upon it with every new xpac rather than going from Garrisons into Order Halls to this fucking boat to Covenants. Have a garrison type case in SW/ORG. Plan about it being used longer term, new expansion released and you can construct the expansion special building that'll progress the story. Or buy WOW Classic TBC Gold the NPCs just appear to advance the narrative. Having it as instance in the big cities will solve the"everyone is in their garrison" issue.
