BFA was better than Shadowlands

They take away gear weapons and give us more crappy weapons its got to stop

Same here, Arrius. I just play old content I still enjoy and don’t care about Shadowlands. Once you’ve been to the afterlife (and a disappointing one at that) in a fictional franchise, where else are you supposed to go to top that? The after-afterlife? It was a dumb move on Blizzard’s part.

BfA had actual content. Remember 8.2? Now there was a patch.

and if you hate mythic + and raiding there is no other content. Now the grinds people speak of I have no idea.

in the world i live in my whole guild quit wow. A guild that used to be very active.

Almost NONE of the players on my friend list is playing SL, 3 players tops from around 60 people. Most of them quit the game altogether. Only a handful of them is playing TBC.

I am sorry but you sound delusional.

Good post.

Besides the crazy 2-shot “burst meta”, my other gripe with Shadowlands BGs is they’re no longer a viable gearing path for alts.

I miss being able to casually grind my way up to Heroic iLvL on alts just by playing random BGs :cry:

SL is the worst expansion ever, look how long we are waiting for the patch.

Though I like Torghast better than Islands. Islands just didnt make sense from a design point. They want you explore them but also youre in a race against the alliance so go go go! I like warfronts that was fun.

Island’s were pretty bad, luckily they were not that important. I always wondered who tested that and thought it was fun enough to make a major feature

Shadowlands Lore and Story is the worst it has been ever. Even WoD, a time-travel alternate universe, made me care more.

All the characters they’ve introduced are one-note cardboard cutouts. Every single WQ sucks, and the zone storylines are the most generic drivel they’ve given us.

The fact BFA had a more compelling storyline is amazing.

I don’t know if I agree with that lol. Grinding essences in BFA was miserable.

Well I do think so and that is why MY list was like that.

I absolutely hated azerite gear. I play the game casually now - I think simming a character just sounds silly. I get why folks do it and if I still played the game like I did “back in the day” I would probably sim my toons, but now, it’s just more effort than I want to commit to a video game. Not being able to look at two chest pieces and be able to clearly see which is the better piece killed the game for me.

Nyalotha almost brought me back, just the thought of fighting more Old Gods sounded cool, but I did not want to mess with the gearing sytstem.

That being said, I prefer the mess we have in SL slightly more than the mess we had in BFA.

And yet, I did islands maybe 20% of the available weeks. The weeks I did do islands, I did just enough to cap. Never had an issue being competitive.

This is crazy to me. So many people say this. But then will turnaround and chain farm world bosses for buffs. Grind dungeons 15 hours a day to hit max level in TBC. Then grind more of those dungeons to hit exalted for gear. Then grind bgs 14 hours a day for pvp gear.

But ask them to do 4 M+ a week for the chest and they lose their mind.
