Since the 8.0 version of World of Warcraft, Blizzard has very aggressively implemented mandatory personal pickup in the official uniform, removing all other distribution methods that have existed for many years and grew up with WOW, which is a huge change. This change has also caused a persistent discussion among players, from 8.0 to 9.1, players have been discussing the pros and cons of forcing individual pickup for the game. Recently, Blizzard officially put an end to this discussion.
In a recent interview with Blizzard designers by foreign media, Blizzard designers mentioned the question of pick-up methods. According to previous interviews, Blizzard designers' attitude towards pick-up methods is very firm, and ION is even more adamant that the big version of 9.0 will never change the mandatory personal pickup system.
However, in this recent interview, the designer finally relaxed, and the designer admitted that 9.0 would not change the way of picking, but the reason was not how good it was to force personal pickup, and even they had realized that forced personal pickup caused trouble for most guilds and ordinary players in World of Warcraft, but the pick-up method was a huge system change and could only be placed between expansion packs. In other words, designers have acknowledged the mistake of forcing individual pickups, and have almost made it clear that 10.0 will bring other pickup methods back!
While the Blizzard designers lightly acknowledged their mistakes and expressed a willingness to repent, the Q&A allowed players to get an official answer to an incentivizing discussion that lasted more than two years. Judging from the Blizzard designer's answer, forcing individual pickup is still more harmful than beneficial.
Probably many players really like to force personal pickup, after all, this is the most protective way to protect the income of ordinary players. However, the forced personal pickup causes trouble enough, such as how the guild retains players is a huge problem, starting from 8.0 forced personal pickup, many guilds that can rush the progress have finally lost to such a one-size-fits-all distribution method, it can be said that the forced personal pickup has greatly diluted the social system that WOW has always been proud of.
However, players who prefer personal pickup should not worry too much, because although the Blizzard designers admitted that it was wrong to force personal pickup, they did not think that personal pickup should not exist. That is to say, the future 10.0 version should be the same as the 7.0 period, which is a variety of pickup methods coexist. If it is a pure casual player, then it is completely possible to enter the team of individual pickup, and the game experience will not be lower than the current version, but will be improved by a better social atmosphere.
In addition, there is another point that is very worth mentioning, that is, the question of the 10.0 gold group. In fact, when it comes to canceling the mandatory personal pickup now, many players may subconsciously think of the gold ball that is currently making a lot of wind and fire in the nostalgic suit. And the formal suit is actually also very likely to be in 10.0 should be gold.
Some time ago, Blizzard's new president Mike had played the golden group live, and he also opened a successful gold group at the moment of forcing personal pickup. It can be seen that Blizzard officials are very much in favor of this activity of the Golden Regiment. Then there is reason to believe that Blizzard will make more changes in the 10.0 version of Yinghe Jintuan, and maybe the official auction system will really become a reality!
