Itā€™s weird because every single thing you said you enjoyed excluding the horrific visions Iā€™ve found a burden on the game
And the damn fox people are annoying

RP servers should be split off from the rest of the forums

My problem is it feels like the devs wanna make Diablo like content when this is an MMO.

The actual World of Warcraft has taken a back seat to instances. I believe it was Metzen that said the most important character in WoW is the world.

Metzen disappears, the World of Warcraft went with him.

Also Iā€™m just sick of Blizz saying like clockwork ā€œOh we hear you. Weā€™re listeningā€

Their actions donā€™t match what they say at all. Actions speak far louder than words.

BFA is different in the same way cow manure is different from horse manure.

BFA is ā€œbadā€ because it feels like the dev team has lost touch with the game and turned it into some sort of Frankenstein ARPG with endless loot grinds, which is worlds away from what most of us liked.

Hell it feels like Legion is what started this just gets a pass for having a cool story, but legion is where this began and IMHO the game changed from an MMORPG. Warlords, despite being overall terrible, still felt closer to WoW than Legion, BFA and now maybe Shadowlands.

Things like M+, time gating and just endless grinds that get reset later or added on top of each other (artefact power and now azerite, essences and corruption) and world quests just donā€™t feel like WoW anymore to me. Iā€™d have taken Warlords over this new design any day and that says a lot. It feels like the team, in their desire to be ā€œinnovativeā€, are pushing the game away from what made it so great in the first place.

IMHO Legion is where the downfall started just everyone liked the artifacts and story so it was glossed over. Thatā€™s where the team changed their design philosophy so much that IMHO it stopped feeling like WoW.

I donā€™t think BFA is horrible. Itā€™s lacking, most definitely. The story was a mess and the conclusion as we know it, is laughable. But, like most expansions, the zones are great. The leveling is solid, the music is great. The raids are nifty, the dungeons are nifty, albeit too annoying with each trash pack having two dozen abilities.

For what its worth, I enjoy Islands. Warfronts are cool for what they are. The big issue I have with BFA is that class design is absolute poop. WoD, while lacking in basically every area except leveling, was still fun because the avenue that we experienced the content was still fun.

Classes are the vehicle in which we see the content. And all content, whether good or bad gets poisoned and diluted when class design is bad. Having amazing systems in place doesnā€™t mean a dang thing if we arenā€™t having fun while we do it. It goes the other way too, poor systems canā€™t be carried solely by good class design. Blizzard needs to find that balance again.

Lul, I should feel fortunate to pay for the privilege of beta testing their trash game? What a joke.

Yes, like I stated at the top. The game itself is solid. The rest is ā€œgameplayā€ and peopleā€™s opinions. They are trying something different to keep this game relevant. Itā€™s a hit-and-miss world in the gaming industry.

Uhhh, no. BfA IS bad.

Accurate

Itā€™s called Beta for Azeroth for a reason.

Tried this with Legion and as a result of my optimism I got BfA.

Yes, I should feel fortunate that I get to pay $15 a month to be served garbage. I could start going into why BfA is bad, but that would be a long post.
