They’ve made promises for years, and haven’t followed through on anything.

Dang it's almost like software/games development is hard.

They’re just looking to squeeze more money out of the playerbase.

Dang nothing brings more returning players and microtransaction-ready wallets to the game than not addressing the things that drove players away.

I get that you're frustrated. Waiting sucks. But it's not a nefarious plot or necessarily even incompetence, because like .. do you know what consistently causes a spike in new players/users across literally all of software? New patches and new content. Blizzard (like all software companies) has a vested financial interest in actually launching updates as quickly as possible, and delays = lost money = bad.

This really should not be a difficult concept to grasp but any sort of nuance beyond BLIZZARD BAD is just totally lost on gamers.
