It is March 2024. Plunderstorm releases, and Blizzard eases up on its grind shortly after player complaints. It is May 2024. Blizzard releases Mists of Pandaria: Remix, and adjusts its Bronze rewards after players complain about an unnecessary grind. It is August 2024. World of Warcraft players aren't pleased with the pre-patch event for The War Within, and less than a week later, Blizzard updates the event to have less stingy rewards.
It is October 2024. I am writing about how Blizzard has done this four times in a year, once more (with feeling) during the anniversary event. It is November 2024. Director Ion Hazzikostas outright says, "while playing a bit of that guessing game of trying to pick the right values, we may tend to err on the conservative side" because "we can always buff the rewards. We're never going to nerf the rewards, really, right?"
