Bahkteva: Greetings,  this is Game Master Bahkteva.  Thank you for taking the time to contact us.  How are you doing today?
you: I'm not bad, I'm cancelling my sub though. Your product World of Warcraft is no longer fun, all of my friends are playing less and less for the same very reason. And, I'm doing well, but i want to have hope in this franchise. Otherwise I'm going to move on to competitors and other genres
you: I already uninstalled the game
you: the PvP balance is horrid
Bahkteva: Well we are definitely interested in the feedback.  What are you finding less fun about it now that you did before, do you think?
you: Class homogenization. Talents are almost mandantory for PvP as a Hunter. I want the old talent tree back. I want to be immersed in the game. Why are battlemasters a thing of the past ? Why is the game a full ***** of what it used to be when Pardo started ?
you: http://www.raphkoster.com/2006/09/06/agc-rob-pardos-keynote/
you: I mean look at that link
you: Rob Pardo had a vision for making this game excellent...now you guys have less than you did in BC
you: like...really...what is going on @ Blizz HQ ?
Bahkteva: Well I can't really speak to design decisions, the most I can do is get what actionable constructive feedback you might have sent up. :D  I'm not a developer myself.
you: understandable, you are just the messenger
you: I don't shoot messengers, don't worry
Bahkteva: :D  I'm not worried, just making sure expectations are set correctly :D  Anything else specific beyond the class similarities.  What was important about Battlemasters?
you: 3 big things for me, PvP balance. Menus and random dungeon finders and the idea of phased garrisons are the ultimate destruction of this game
you: battlemasters, you had to go to them and queue for a battleground in Vanilla. Go to Ashenvale : I started in BC on another account but i heard those were hotspots in vanilla for wPvP
you: why take battlemasters away for convenience of a menu pane ?
you: WoW was originally trying to stay away from in game menus...that's a *****
you: random dungeon finder when it was released in Cataclysm : was HARD
you: and that was great
you: but : it made the quality of the dungeons worse when people expected to get carried
Bahkteva: Ah, well design visions do change, I imagine they felt it was an unnecessary barrier to getting to the enjoyable part of the game :D
you: so your developers team nerfed the difficulty
you: yeah...you gotta milk that cash cow don't ya !
you: so the players that don't want to get better, don't and they get spoonfed content
you: so there is little incentive to get better as a whole
Bahkteva: I mean, I can't actually answer questions.  I can send up what things you find interesting to your play time and what would improve the game. But I haven't any means to discuss the decisions developers have made in the past :D
you: my concern is this, and you can send these up the pipeline : If you guys leave what made WoW so great back in the early days of Vanilla/BC then you're only going to degrade more. Rob Pardo had a great vision for the game, and each change to make this game into a menu pane based portal phased world is for the worse. It's not a WORLD anymore.
you: the status quo of expectation has changed. And until you make WoW a WORLD again..I'm not interested in your product.
Bahkteva: Alrighty, I can definitely send that feedback up!  I appreciate it :D  Anything else on your mind that I can add?
you: that's all. I
you: well
you: I'll be back for 6.2
you: but, only if survival hunters are decent in PvP, and Beast Mastery isn't declared as the king faceroll spec
Bahkteva: Alrighty, well keep an eye on the forums and the PTR for any updates that come available!  Not sure yet on a date for the patch, but they'll announce it on the website soon as it is ready!
you: sounds good. I've been watching them. I wish i didn't fall out of love with a game that I once fell in love with, but sometimes things change
Info: Your chat transcript will be sent to sunshineandrain85@gmail.com at the end of your chat.
Bahkteva: Very true, World of Warcraft had to grow up with the expectations of it's playerbase and the time they had available as they became adults :D
