Comment by ClownWorldbuffing RLP(again!) and reducing timers,they really learned nothing from AA did they?

I would love to say their incompetence is staggering but they're so consistently and annoyingly terrible at their jobs it's hardly surprising when they make awful changes anymore.Comment by MoonstakerSweeping dungeon tunings 3 days from patch release is always a good, reassuring sign.Comment by Probuffthose clueless clowns will revert those timer changes week 2

The classes are not tuned properly either. Like what have YALL been doing for all these weeks bruh? Please I'm begging blizzard hire me as in a management position let me improve the process.Comment by Ribollita312Maybe buff the movement speed of the adds on last boss of Temple of Sethraliss, by like 500%, just in case it is too easy. And make them say ''Did I just catch you having fun?'' as an aggro line.Comment by SalvHonestly, I wish they'd remove Mythic+ altogether. Blizzard spends far too much development time on it, and in my experience, it breeds nothing but toxic behavior.Comment by ZouraHonestly, I wish they'd remove Mythic+ altogether.

Death of Relatable character for Zul'jan on the blue post.
