And it also has its fair share of people abnormally hating on the game yet still paying for it…

My view is they are human and not a Ai. I have been faced with opposition in the forum on my opinions before on matters of design with a lot of criticism ,is it destructive? both are .In the end if it isn’t said no one would know so it’s a balance. You either take it or not ,developers should be adult enough to take the blows from the forums with consideration.

that second part of your sentence is the whole problem. way too many people here think “anybody who doesn’t agree with all my opinions is an idiot who shouldn’t have a job”

Anything that isn’t praising the game is negative talk with you.
People get tired of forum police like yourself, just constantly poking at any comment that isn’t praising the game.
WoW has some serious design issues right now, but it is almost impossible to communicate this because posters like you clog up threads with 100+ replies of snarky comments. Your goal is to disrupt, nothing more.
People who really enjoy the MMO they’re playing don’t spend all their time posting on a forum about it.
Blizzard doesn’t need you to defend them here, they’re a billion-dollar business that has been making a lot of subpar games as of late.

This is what game forums are for dude. Also, I was gifted a yearly sub, so, I’m going to use it complain, because I love WoW, but I absolutely hate this version of it.

I just started in on my coffee. Decided to mix it up… Peet’s Cinnamon Vanilla with a splash of Carmel creamer.

No I think I will blame the people who make the product for the state of the product. Who else would I blame lol myself??
The art team carries and everyone knows it but whoever is in charge of game design, like actual gameplay, deserves to walk the plank.
No other devs make such rolling changes like wow devs do lol nerfing or buffing something by like 40% tells me you never tested it to begin with and they do stuff like that ALL THE TIME

As much as I hate to admit this, as I have been a rather consistent player since a few months after vanilla had launched, this game is dying. Considering the amount of content they keep creating for the game, they are just not roping in nearly enough new players, and that’s besides the loss of older players from not enjoying development changes to just plain old moving on to something else. What we have left, besides the new few who trickle in out of curiosity and hype, is just the old school dedicated fanbase of addicts that are too stubborn to quit. It’s a sad realization, but if things keep going the way they are going, I don’t see this game having much of a future from now.

Everything ends and 20 years is pretty good for a game

They’re catering the game around a small amount of hardcore players. All the decent content in the game is centered around e-sport style systems, and then you have raiding, which has become an absolute slog to engage with.
Losing Greg Street was a huge loss for WoW. Since he has left, the game has just taken a weird direction.
The current developers are designing the game to push players into competitive content, it is no wonder these forums are full of negative threads.

There’s a place for people who complain because they love the game and wish things were better. I agree though people who spread disinformation around here should be called out though.

I have pointed this out on numerous occasions. The streamers and content creators are basically designing the game at this point, and they’re developing it into an e-sport.
To refer to an older post I made before regarding buggy and broken content.
I originally enjoyed this game because of its casual nature, and highly dislike being pushed into endgame content because all the celebrity players have already plowed through everything the month after release. That always inevitably leads to poor quality and poor design, especially if you don’t enjoy e-sports… which I don’t

Long time investment games have been on the downhill slope for awhile now. The current generation of games are short time investment games (15-30 mins on average gameplay).
Gamers now like bite sized content. That’s actually hard to do in a game genre that is designed for a full course meal. Even Square hasn’t cracked that mystery. Blizzard has tried but people who like full course meals are left unsatisfied while people who enjoy bite size crave more and more (it’s never enough) I don’t even know if there is a happy medium.
On the contrary, they’re making it more and more pointless with their constant hand-outs.
The biggest thing that’s been killing the game is that people don’t feel their time is valued because Blizzard makes everything obsolete a couple months later with endless freebies and catch-ups.

The same thing happened in Overwatch. I kind of feel bad for the developers in some ways, they’re being pushed to design the game around these elements from the top brass at the company.
E-sports have shown to be an utter failure. No one can make money off it, and trying to design casual games around e-sports just ruins the game for the bulk of the players that enjoy it.

I’m actually curious, why do you feel pushed into endgame content? Is it because of the PUG scene? Is it a guild issue?
