    Druids currently have 7 trees. (And a treeent form)

    1 class tree, 4 spec trees and 2 (or is it 3 for druids?) hero trees. Only 3 can be used at any one time though (to be clear as you don’t currently play)

    The more possible combinations, the harder it can be to balance though


  • They can’t write good stories any more, don’t expect good main story, just good side quests.

    It still feels like this expansion was too early (as usual) and many classes could have done with more time in the oven (druids and rogues)

    On the talents - they realised that they can’t just keep giving us stuff, so they have switched to having some kind of ‘borrowed power’ that gets taken away after the expansion - I think the hero talents are another example of this? Some are shit though and I imagine it’s going to be balance hell (rip boomkins too lol), as they never seem to learn with this stuff.

    It’s the endgame group content that actually sells wow for many people (me), so as long as that works and it’s ok balance wise (or alts can be leveled easily) then it’s probably ok for quite a few people though.

    Disclaimer: have not got early access, have bought the expansion, but left it really late to decide.


  • Tried to answer, but it got very convoluted, here it is anyway as I typed it out…

    Because that’s a less useful metric basically, to change their budget a government can:

    • increase existing taxes
    • add completely new taxes
    • print money (depending on the level of government)

    This means that a budget can swing quite a bit in value quite quickly if needed (or if something goes wrong). This means the % could swing quite widely.

    GDP on the other hand is effectively the value of the economy, so moves slower and is a better metric to compare different countries with different economies and tax systems (assuming they tell the truth about their GDP…)

    Ultimately, if a government needs more money, most of the time it can get it… But whatever they do will have side effects. But those side effects depend on the size of the economy, the bigger the economy (measured by GDP) the more can be done/taken without causing a large effect.

    Both of these fail to highlight countries that already have a high tax load though, so in practice a wide range of metrics will be used.
