I cannot even fathom how they came up with the salient points. Evidently the people who run the PR department do indeed believe the garbage they spin. Please do not be fooled by the PR.

PuG friendly raids. If you just want to clear a bit of trash for welfare epic cloak. Or play content 6 months old.

Faster queue times. If you want to queue as a tank or play with a person who doesn't know what they are doing becuz they queued as a tank in greens using PvP gear in their bank to bypass the iLvl reqs.

New zone. About the size of 1/2 of red ridge mountains, that takes 30 days or dedicated boring dailies to unlock, competing for the 7 mobs that spawn with 90 other people.

Just facepalm in so many ways.

Pretty much what Peo said; That ad just seems misleading in so many ways.

The fact that they changed it so you can get your entire valor point weekly limit from doing 5-man Zandalari heroics proves that they know the raids aren't PUG friendly.

Well sicne the ad isn't directed at people currently playing or people who have played recently, those are things that will draw poeple back. Even if 1000 peeps renew for a month from that ad jsut to check it out or 500 buy the game new...that ad has more than paid for itself.

The point is, the ad is a lie, a flat out lie. Just goes to show the lack of integrity that Activision has infested Blizzard with...

False advertising should be grounds for civil action.
