The interview had major "Do you not have phones?" energy

Didn't you already post it? Talk about trying to set the narrative.

They answered many questions and had GREAT tranperancy. Especially compared to other devs. Good luck getting anything from Blizzard.

They admitted to a lot of problems and said it straight if they didn't know exactly what is the problem/solution.

I don't think we watched the same interview.

I think the real issue is that you were watching it trough a specific lens where you wanted them to give in to things that you dont like about the game and then when they disagreed with you then its all just negative.

The most significant issue I had was their reservations against active balance implementation. If skills/items need tuning, then do it ASAP and begin gathering data immediately. There is no need to wait for 'economy resets' before balancing issues get addressed.

I expected them to at least know how their own mechanics work, and to not "have no data" about literally every single question.
Since, you know, people always defend GGG with "GGG has the data, they know what they are doing".

They clearly don't, as they said themselves.

I mean the game is complex they are not going to remember every piece of data that comes through. And if they gave a bad piece of data people would be getting on to them about bad data so honestly I thank them for not giving wrong information when they arent 100% sure. That shows they dont want to miscommunicate with the audience

Also you are only talking about some of the questions not all of the questions mention every question they answered and gave a clear opinion on as well.

They didnt dismiss those either they gave their opinions and stood by it its a difference. Dismiss implies they dont care and simply said no to a question without giving viewpoints or thoughts. Which they did....

i wouldnt call their answer dismissive. just they like it that way and for them it looks like it works as intended. they didnt have time to repeat all their views on those subjects in this interview.

basically, except the crafting which is incomplete and will be improved with the uncomming crafting mechanics from future leagues, the summary was, game works as intended.

The orb droprate is balanced around having high rarity, and guts you completely early on, until & unless you invest into it.
This is a problem.
GGG was made aware of this problem.
GGG dismissed this problem.

Your absolutetly wrong about how that works.

Even if you were right then how is this a big issue?
Its not that hard to get some rarity on your gear, you can get 26% rarity just on your atlas. And after that even if you have no rarity on your gear (which isnt incredibly hard to get) you get a ton on rolling waystones and precursor tablets.

You cant just spew nonsense without providing examples or actual facts.

They seamed to be unaware of a bug that didnt let you proc bleed on es, which they immedietly conceded on and said would get fixed.

Other then that what mechanics in their game were they unaware of how worked?
Disagreeing with you that rarity is bad isnt them not understanding how the rarity mechanic works.

I never heard Blizzard devs saying "we don't know" that many times in a single interview.
I expected better of GGG but honestly this was disappointing. Totally clueless developers who still cling to their "Vision" despite many players pointing out the flaws and problems.

I think we watched the same interview, its just you made up your mind in a negative way. There were very good definitive answers, there were just a few conserning answers and some unanswered questions.

Im not gonna tell you what to do, but consider making a pause and playing something else. I know i will. Game is not even half way there, there is nothing to play right now that is worth my time so im gonna wait for new content or at least patches. I decided to not be emotionally invested in this.

Yes but thats because Blizzard just makes up some response that they will never followup on instead of just saying they dont know yet.

Ghazzy had to explain to them how Rarity works, and they still dismissed him.
