Ok, I'm not sure why people are so drawn to the pokemon battles... It sounds cheesy and obnoxious to me. I've played WoW since before the thousands nerfs. I even remember questing without the exclamation points on my map and not having flying mounts. WoW has done a bunch of things, some good, some stupid, but this overall sounds kind of dumb. There are already companion pets and several classes already one sort of minion or pet to help in combat. Adding another pet-thing to take around and level and duel against other people just sounds not fun. Honestly, WoW is becoming less and less of an RPG and more of a Facebook game. You need to collect all your friends together to be able to do raids and get the guild bonuses and now you have to raise little pets to battle them against your friends. When you start having to log daily for bonus in-game content or get x amount of people to join to unlock certain things, I'm out!
Honestly, Blizzard was at it's best when Lost Vikings was still a game.
You don't HAVE to do any of that.
Guilds? Unnecessary. You don't HAVE to have a group of people you like playing with, you don't NEED those perks to level faster or gather resources quicker, you don't NEED that fancy guild mount.
You don't NEED to raid, even though that's really the point of the game. but guess what! With the next patch, you can find a random group with which to raid, meaning you can be as antisocial as you like with complete strangers, and still get epics! Yay!
You don't NEED to play 'WoWkémon', it's just an
extra thing you can do when you're not raiding, preparing to raid, farming daily dungeons, running PvE scenarios, challenge dungeons, PvPing, arenaing, levelling a profession, levelling an alt...
You're complaining over extra content. Sure, you may not like it, but don't moan because it's
there. I don't like gnomes but I don't mount a righteous crusade to have then purged from the game as a whole.
