As a Casual Mom with a full time job, this content cadence is absolutely AWFUL!

Doesn’t seem like casual to me. Just saying. I have 2 80’s since release with second being this morning.

1st - I boosted a Dracthyr from creation to 70 then leveled to 80 - quickly due to early access and included boost amongst other things

2nd - I leveled by DK from 60 to 80. I watched EVERY cut-scene (never done that) to understand the lore of the current release

I am a casual player coming back after IDK 5 years to retail? I have found this release to be the most playable as a casual. I don’t raid or do mythics but just hang out, do some profs.

The game in general is very large and has a LOT of options on leveling and QoL features.

In closing, a casual is someone who plays when they can and does what they can when they play. I know casuals who raid and do the M+'s but are way behind because again, they are casual. There is nothing in your post that makes me believe you are a “casual”

Just because I am VERY efficient doesn’t make me not casual. I also watched the cutscenes when I leveled. My first toon definitely took all night. I just spammed dungeons with friends on the other toons. I guarantee you I have played less time than you have since Aug 22nd.

I…I don’t understand the post.

I’m also a grown adult with seemingly far more responsibilities than you (also have kids/dogs/family, I own and operate my own full time business, I tend to a small farm, I have several active bands, and I’m the sole person responsible for the cleaning and upkeep of the house/property, vehicles, bills, chores, errands, etc. due to the limitations of a wife with a ton of medical issues.

I also focus on M+; it’s pretty much the only game mode I play.

My time management, however, allows me an extraordinary amount of time to grind this game when I want to.

Therefore, I’ve finished the campaign, I have three level 80s, and I’m working on leveling 3-4 more (out of 20 total toons) so that I have a variety of specs to support my M+ team when that opens up. I’m also doing gathering and such to make gold while it’s still profitable because grinding to KSM/KSH on multiple toons is expensive AF.

Never have I once thought there wasn’t enough to do.

And that’s besides the blatant fact that it’s not Blizzard’s fault that you and I literally only play 1/3 of the game. There’s an insane amount of side quests, lore, professions, etc. that people can spend their time doing.

I guess I just don’t understand what the complaint is. Sure, I’m a little irked M+ was delayed so long, but it’s really not that big of a deal and I don’t expect the game to cater to a niche player like myself.

While I applaud you in also having extremely efficient time management, don’t assume that I am not busy. I run an entire household, homecook 2 meals a day (one for kid and one for my wife and I). I sit on the board of 5 nonprofits, and of course I have my career and social life. Sure, You’re probably a little busier than I am, but managing 5 nonprofits takes quite a bit of evenings each month from me. And yes it is Blizz’s fault for delaying M+ and heroic week longer than necessary. I’ve played about 25-28 hours in 2 weeks and I have nothing to do…

How many hours do you play a night/week on average?

3 - 5 per week. I may get a couple extra hours in Saturday night if my SO falls asleep early…

Since Sunday I have logged 2.3 hours in the game, so we play about the same.

A casual mom with 5 raid-ready 80s in the 580+ range?

I am sorry for being incredibly efficient and not AFK flying around the city all day…
