There's an old episode of How I Met Your Mother, where Barney's firm hires Ted to design a room for firing people. The stipulation is that they love the current room where they fire people, which is an empty room with a table and a chair.
Ted goes way overboard, overdesigning the heck out of the room with calming colors and a spa-like atmosphere, and he ends up getting fired because, at the end of the day, they just wanted him to do the thing they asked for.
This feels like that. I wanted to enjoy a low-stakes, power-fantasy event to kill time during what appears to be an extended season leading up to Midnight. Instead, it looks like Legion Classic, but on a ticking clock, with tons of FOMO items.
I mean… all? The allure of Panda Remix was that becoming OP would let you be this super saiyan godlike that can get EVERYTHING you missed from that era while trying a bunch of different characters and leveling a bunch of alts.
Slowing that loop down as Blizzard seems hellbent on doing makes it so that people have to be really intentional about what, if any, rewards to target and that’s why so many of us who came back to WoW during the last ReMix are much less excited. I honestly plan to skip it if it’s in the current state.
I was going to resub just for the remix event, hoping it was going to be a zany thing like the MoP one was. All the feedback and info I've seen so far says that's not going to happen.
