Man I’m gonna need the extra 830% flight speed on dragonriding to find who tf asked.
At least your irl friends hung around that long. My irl friends stopped playing this game a few months after Cata went live lol. Kind of hoped wow classic, TBC, and Wolk classic would get a few of them back to playing, but nope lol.
I haven’t an in-real-life friend since 1987. I have acquaintances now.

After all these years I have two friends left on my list.
One plays on and off, usually comes back for patches and expansions, plays until he is bored with the game and leaves until the next patch.
He lasted 2 weeks or so, hasn’t been back in 8 days.
The other left in Shadowlands, he hated the story and when he saw the LGBT stuff in DF in online forums, he stayed gone. (he left 8 months ago but still looked into what was happening with the game through other websites)
He claims he felt insulted by the pandering, he is very low key and not the “look at me look at me” type so I guess all this extra attention to his lifestyle wasn’t appreciated.
So being casual means we shouldn’t have content that appeals to us?

I have people I tolerate at work. We’re “quote unquote” friends at work but then I go home.
I don’t meet people after work.
It always amazes me how all these TV shows have all these cops and lawyers and doctors and dentists and rocket surgeons meeting at the bar afterwards.
I go home and hide. And maybe turn on Warcraft.
Like seriously I am drained after being around people all day.

I got along really well with an employer many years ago at the college.
He said they’re essentially two types of people.
Vampires and cattle. There are people who are literally emotional vampires that drain the life out of others and that’s how they survive.
Guess which type I fit into… And the first 2 guesses don’t count.
But I can socialize on Warcraft day and night without any issues.

My thing is the older I get the more I like my solitude. I have friends that I talk to regularly but I have to really psyche myself up to hang out with them. At work I do my best to avoid the people I work with.

My friends gamehop all the time too but I can’t stand doing that. They did it with wow/newworld/lostark etc where they play a month and leave to something else.
I’ve had many IRL friends quit WoW. There goes one right now. Game must be failing.
Oh look another IRL friend quit just as I started typing this.
It’s just really awkward to have conversations with people that you work with outside of work.
You relate everything to work. And when I’m off work I don’t want to be thinking about work.
Is that good logic?

Yeah there really isn’t much content if you aren’t into raiding or m+ it’s WoD 2.0

Don’t think people hate the streamers so much as the fanboys who come to the forums to parrot whatever crap they said on stream.
You have people you sort of tolerate?
I have people I allow to be at minimum 100 feet away from me.

That’s just an illustration of the fact that the game is definitely not for everybody anymore. Different experiences for different types of players.
Curious, seeing how its the hangup most people seem to have with DF: which expansion last had plenty of content for players that did not want to raid, challenge dungeons/M+ or pvp, and what was that activity that kept them coming back?
Stop having IRL friends like me and your problem is solved.
