There is no casual content that feels worthwhile in 9.1. Didnât even do Tazavesh like I originally thought I would because I watched a boss guide and the place looks boring as hell.
Korthia is boring. Sylvanas doesnât die. Yawn.
I think by casual content you mean unrewarding chores.

I bet normal and heroic raiders are very happy with this /s
Over the course of 12 months. Players have to be exalted with deathshead rep to be able to aquire the last two ranks, the final of which costs 10000 knowledge per piece. The dailys give you about 300 rep a day and maybe 500 knowledge if your lucky and spend a few hours grinding rares and chests. Its already way worse than the anima grind for covenant gear.

There is no welfare gear. Thanks for the hyperbole.

Itâs a pretty great tank trink for the time being. Crafting one as soon as I get to tier 4.

a lot of people enjoy gate keeping other players, its a wow tradition.
also a serious number of players make money off players by selling services.
they hate anything that allows people to have fun without paying them.
this is the first x pac where rep or basic gear is actually good and is a real effective response to the gatekeepers and boosters.
they donât like it.
kudos to Blizzard!

I guess Iâve got the mentality of a completionist, but no longer the ability to do so.
Iâm sorry, that was not my intention. I do like major components of the game. I wish I could play more and get into it more. I want people to enjoy the game; Iâm intimidated by my struggles in 9.0 and 9.1.
Honest question though. How would you define what it means to be a casual-player? I would define it as somebody who plays it in their spare time and a more leisurely pace.

Iâve always considered a casual player to be somebody who plays 2 hours or less per week.

It has transformed to mean the literal opposite, someone who spends all day playing WoW in anti-social content.

The worst part is you still have to do saving the pixels/Baine, Thrall, and Jaina in borefast before you can get the quest for Korthia. Already did that crap in Torgassfart on two characters. Alts should get the quest automatically, if you have done already on one character. Unless there is a skip for alts somewhere I missed.

That about 90,000 archar records to farm just to upgrade all pieces to 233. Forget the gating . It better to do heroic raid . Infact heroic raid gear sound more welfare epic than this crap .

Yes, thatâs kind of how WoW works. Itâs not supposed to be good for you to avoid doing social content. The anti-social content exists if youâre really adamant about not playing the game with other people (the way youâre supposed to) and Blizzard is more than happy taking your money, but WoW excels when you play social content. If you care about gearing, yes, you are absolutely supposed to want to do heroic.
So youâre saying a casual player can have fun, but thereâs so much to do that youâre unable to do because youâre a raider? Holy moly rolly polly what a bad day for you. Sorry raiding takes up so much time.
Heroic gear is more welfare epic than open world gear ?? Nah that was never the norm
Social content is meant to be more rewarding than anti-social content. Thatâs the core of WoWâs design.
