I don’t know how anyone else feels, and frankly, I don’t care. I don’t even care if Blizzard is reading this. I just want to vent some, and explain why, when Midnight drops in 2026, I will no longer be purchasing World of Warcraft subscriptions, and will stop playing the game.

  1. Over the years, I have become more and more frustrated with the game. It is badly designed, and most quests are badly written, badly designed and badly executed. I’ve been a gamer for more years than Blizzard has been in existence. If I ever joined a D&D game with a DM that wrote quests as bad as the quests in WoW have become, I would have quit pretty fast. I shouldn’t need to look up every quest on another site like WoWhead to figure out what I’m supposed to do, where I’m supposed to go, or how to complete quests. Looking things up in another site is for when you can’t find that one little item, or NPC. It should be a RARE occurrence. It shouldn’t happen with EVERY QUEST.
  2. I’m really, really, really tired of struggling to complete quest chains that make no sense for little to no award.
  3. There shouldn’t be dozens of “currencies” to collect.
  4. I’m tired of struggling for a “Season” to collect a currency, to get that one mount or pet or gear, only to have the currency wiped out when the next season drops and before I can spend it.
  5. I’m tired of struggling to get pets, mounts, and gear that seem impossible to get because they have such an incredibly low drop rates.
  6. Truly awful support. I don’t use support often. But, every time I do, I have to go 5 or six rounds with “staff” because people DON’T READ, and DON’T PROVIDE HELP, and more often than not say “It’s not our fault, it’s your fault” even when the problem really is Blizzard’s fault. I feel like I’m talking to a brick wall. No, actually, I take that back - brick walls are more helpful.
  7. The final insult, I suppose, is that my machine, which is less than 5 years old, does not meet the “minimum requirements” for Midnight. Look, Blizzard, I get it - you are struggling to keep up and keep relevant. You are trying to use the latest technologies for the best game. But, when the “best game” is so bad, why should I spend more money beyond the cost of the new game, to keep playing? I’m a Mac user. To buy a new machine to play Midnight, I apparently will need to shell out about $2K beyond the cost of the game. That’s far, far, far too expensive, especially in this economy, to keep playing a game that has so little value, so little enjoyment, and so much frustration. You want to keep your customers? Let them keep their equipment. Let them feel the game is worthwhile and fun to play. And don’t put so many obstacles, especially financial ones, in their way.

Okay, I’m done with my rant. As I said, I don’t care about anyone else’s opinion and I don’t care if Blizzard sees this or not. As of Midnight, Blizzard has lost this long-time World of Warcraft player.

Don’t be coy. You Would not have gone through that much typing and detail on a blizzard forum if you didnt care if we or blizzard cared. You could have just called your mom to “vent”. Second, since you posted this in the place that isnt for wow (did you miss the clues that are plastered all over these forums?), we dont care about your wow feelings.

It’s about battlenet, and purchasing items on battlenet. Or did you miss the other threads here on that subject. And YOU AND PEOPLE LIKE YOU ARE ANOTHER OF THE REASONS FOR LEAVING. You are vicious, intolerable, and unhelpful. Hope you enjoy being rude, and chasing people away.

So you do care.

… about the game.

…not about “battlenet, and purchasing items on battlenet”

Other threads? I was responding to YOU, no one else. What attempt at deflection is this?

Lol. So people telling you that youre posting in the wrong place is what drives people away? Was that all you could pull out of thin air because you were told to post in the correct place? Another attempted defelction?

Rude or intolerable, possibly, if youre unable to interpret something like this any other way. But that’s on you, not me. Based on youre behavior here, your not much better than what you accuse me of. As for chasing anyone way, well we’ve covered that. As for helpfulness, again telling you where you need to post in order to be heard… not helpful?? What?

You seem to care an awful lot despite claiming you don’t. So much, that youll fabricate nonsense just because you didn’t like what you were told.

O.o
