Blackwing Lair Arrives November 1st

"I never farmed consumables in preparation for BWL release. Please disable all consumables from being used in raids until Emerald Sanctum so it will be fair to me!"

The whole framing of tying this argument to PvE power levels is stupid. A few pieces are a small upgrade for some classes. It’s nothing gamebreaking and that small advantage for a handful of people has been achieved by a lot of effort!
Keep in mind the many hours invested for that.


The much more important part is, delaying the release would completely destroy battlegrounds.
It will make many players quit, thus also affecting the pvpers that don’t care about the gear, because they have less people to play with.
It will create a huge unfair advantage for pve players in battlegrounds, further accelerating a death spiral for battleground population

The comments just keep getting funnier. "Wait 2.5 months," "wait a month," "wait two weeks"—what a load of nonsense. Or how about "increase the cost to 280,000 honor"? I’d love to see these people sit there grinding out 280,000 honor for this pathetic set—only for a developer to show up, claim their mood has shifted, and come up with some new excuse to deny you the reward you spent all that time earning. I’m still in shock that we’re sitting here begging for something that is rightfully ours—something that was originally created for the Blackwing Lair content phase. It’s honestly hilarious. And it’s even funnier listening to people talk about "unfair advantages" and the like. Where were all of you back when this armor set didn’t exist, and people were using the classic version—which they even wore into Naxxramas? And, believe it or not, that set also became available during the BWL phase. You people are ridiculous. Think ten times before you post anything. Personally, I’m not expecting anything anymore; I just drop by to have a good laugh at these folks. If this set doesn’t drop on the 1st, then I guess it’s not meant to be—I’ll just head over to "Forever" . If it does come out, I might play a bit more. Honestly, I’m just tired of waiting around here, hoping that someone might actually listen.

There is no "middle ground" or "compromise" to be made. Either release the gear on day 1 (the time the developers intended for it to be released) or don't. Either spit on the entire pvp community, or don't. It is your server. You get to choose whether it will have a thriving, active battleground scene or not.
