@Warcraft I hope that Blizzard can extend its current patch cycle to something more reasonable. It's been obvious to anyone who's paying attention that the eight week cadence is not sustainable.

A twelve week cycle is still seven weeks faster than Final Fantasy XIV. Slow down.

Get rid of the VEIP! It’s a $30 fee and time wasted that doesn’t make air any cleaner. My bill to end it was defeated in the 2026 Session but I’m not going to stop going after this outdated and infuriating cash grab.
