Nah difficulty is what judges that and has always judged that . There is no such thing as anti social content (content that teaches you hate other ppl in real life really ?) , heck you see an anti social person irl you run the other way because they are suppose to be in prison or getting help in some institution .
If you are referring to solo content which I believe you are then in that case everybody is antisocial with your definition

This has been my new mantra for at least the past month or so. âYou donât have to do it.â Cuz they donâtâŚanymore than I had to when they would tell me the same thing.
Hope that doesnât offend anyone. If it does, they âdonât have toâ read the forums.
My biggest obstacles to enjoying the game are gone now. Too little anima and no flying. Now I get to play the way I really want to play, farm things at a reasonable rate, not get frustrated by terrain, etc. etc. I realized a lot over 9.0, mostly stuff that I donât want to do, and what I will absolutely refuse to do in the future.
But, the way the game is now, Iâm enjoying it quite a bit. Iâm finally seeing all of the Covenants, grinding for cosmetics, enjoying some gear upgrades in Korthia. This really is what Iâve wanted to be doing - that is enjoying WoW. Iâm glad I finally can again.

The amount of work and time a casual player has to put in to the game to get all their welfare gear to ilvl 233 is a lot. Pretty much you have to be more than casual playerto do it timely. By the time they are able to do so, 9.2 will be out (maybe, unless it takes a whole year again). Getting upset that they can earn ilvl 233 gear is stupid.

What the heck? Amazing how people will complain that you remove or nerf their favorite content and then excuse your own elitist dreck with an outright lie. Are you being paid by the post to make blizzard look bad or something?

âSweatlordsâ. Love it haha!
There is actually nothing really to do in 9.1 outside of raiding and m+.

Itâs more that we have different goals than those who are focused on pushing content. Some people are hardcore PVPers, some are weekend warriors. There is no time limit attached to being a casual. We just move at our own pace.
I should also note, many people on the forums confuse bad players with casual players. These are not the same thing.

If by âabsolute blastâ you mean constantly being rejected from M+/Torghast/Raids, then sure.
I tried FF14 and it sucked and the only people going to it are the Asmondgold brown nosers worshiping his every move. WoW is a far better game
IMO!

The time gates are actually put in specifically to benefit people like you⌠so people who play 24/7 arenât done with the patch by Friday when your just getting to start your activitiesâŚ
People like this guy are like the Karens in my office who want everyone to be forced to come back to the office full-time as we shift back to post-pandemic work just so that they have someone trapped near them to show pictures of their grandkids and cats to. Despite the fact that some people would happily go back to the office, those people arenât enough people. They want everyone to be strongarmed into a style of working that doesnât work for them, that the company is fully able to accommodate, so that they have more options for socialization even if people are being resentfully forced into it. Itâs all about their needs over anything else, but when called out on it theyâll flail and clutch their pearls that office work was meant to be done this way, going in to the office is the entire point.
In that case, and in this one, they usually complain the loudest so theyâre the ones that get listened to.
As one of the fleets of casuals who keeps the lights on in the Warcraft division of Activision-Blizzard with their continuous subscription fees despite only doing queued content, dailies, world bosses, pet battles, collecting and RPâŚ
Youâre welcome.
Iâm happy to have my money subsidize your content, and Iâm glad that you enjoy it, as long as thereâs content for me too. As soon as thereâs not Iâll take my money and move on rather than pull on my bootstraps, âgit gudâ and develop a sudden desire to apply to raiding guilds and M+ keys, at which point I hope you have good luck with your high-end dungeon consisting of procedurally generated hallways and random copy-pasted mobs and that you get a piece of the one (maybe?) recolored armor set that will have been reused in the past few $100 expansions.
That, or for a few low microtransactions you can just purchase a +3 upgrade to your iLvl for $5.99 instead.

Ahh yes, the typical elitist raider.
Imagine the pver tears if you were all forced to get duelist in 3s to start raiding heroic. Thatâs what pvpers have to deal with in mythic+.
Cry more.

I think I took a wrong turn at Albuquerque.
I burned 40 tokens without getting a weapon or trinket and only 1 cloak with no haste.

Iâm so glad players like you are starting to speak up. I totally agree these players just want casuals to have to play with them not realizing we just wonât play the game.

Having to grind out for the ability to upgrade via the content we play in isnât âfreeâ. And in general itâs slower for us to upgrade than would be M+ or even raiding (assuming, for the sake of argument, that RNG is at least mildly forgiving to M+/Raiding players, which it usually, but not always is).
Itâs kind of overwhelming to the casual group too. Just because we arenât doing M+ and/or organized raids doesnât mean that the number of systems we deal with went down. It didnât. Weâre just as overwhelmed as you are. From Choregast to Domination gear to archive knowledge, weâre in the same boat youâre in if we want to continue on our path of progression.
What we donât get are the varied color sets higher tier raiders get, the choice of gear to farm that M+ players get, the items locked behind any of N/H/M raid tiers (Sylvanasâ bow for example), and we especially donât get any achievements to show we were up there with or ahead of the pack. We donât get KSM. We donât get AotC. We donât even get that bow, despite hunter tuning being done around having that bow, which means we lose even more because of that. Weâd have loved to have an LFR version of that bow, even if it didnât have an item we could farm for in a higher difficulty tier to upgrade it (i.e. if we got the LFR version weâd have to refarm it on Normal instead of just getting the upgrade item for it like you can get on Heroic or Mythic tiers).
Oh, and our content is locked behind a two month gate. All because the devs are worried that the 0.1% will burn out feeling like they have to farm LFR to gear up. The majority of players get to suffer because of the tiniest sliver of players might feel compelled to do more. If youâre wondering why the âcasualsâ have zero sympathy for the players doing upper echelon difficulties, now you know why. Our experience is diminished en masse for just those few.

Exactly, I was thinking the same thing. Even Legion was iffy at launch because of this.

The timegates are put in to protect the hardcore players from grinding out Renown the first week to unlock those bottom soulbind layers for a marginal increase in power.
Remember all those raiders who whined for years about having to clear the map of every last world quest for artifact / azerite power? Blizzard took that âfeedbackâ into account when designing systems in SL. They couldnât care less how quickly or slowly casual players are progressing through content, or if they are even progressing power-wise at all.
