Blizz has ruined MMORPGs

[Snikrot-silver-hand (Snikrot)]

Blizzard ruined MMOs when they decided to emulate Everquest and the themepark format rather than UO and the sandbox format.

Get off the forums with all your grown up talk about jobs and school and “IRL” friends… You should have better things to do with your time.

Aww someone got triggered at the mention of irl friends and responsibilities. Lmao

[Psycha-moon-guard]

I dont think people have valor lvl 6-8 gear just yet even as of this comment… If you are sitting at 380-385 average ilvl today then that is top of the line until people start getting BiS raid drops through the week.

Ok, so you don’t know the definition of fact. Cool buddy, just keep it to yourself.

someone got triggered

Only person that got triggered here is you. Obviously you got triggered enough to feel you had to post on this thread with a "Lmao, I have a life. " comment.

How is even possible to have a full decked out character within two weeks of a release in a MMO?

WoW released 18 years go, idk what tf you mean by getting a fully decked out character within two weeks, when some of us have been working on these characters for 10+ years. this isn’t classic, we don’t need months to level up anymore (also people were max level and running heroic dungeons within a day back in TBC/Wrath classic launch)

Why did you even comment if you didnt get what I said? You should go back and read it again. You obviously missed something.

So you’re mad that there are multiple ways to get gear, and when you fight another player now, it comes down to skill? Welp…

Back in the old days

Yes, the old days.

The old days aren’t the new days. Life is much faster now.

Blizzards has removed core RPG elements and made it more about an esport.

Gearing is good and all, but questing, story and such should be THE core of a ROLE playing game.

Gearing is apart of a core RPG element as well. The problem fully lies in Blizzards Game Design Philosophy. I have been saying that for years. Gear dependency is extremely way too weighted and gates new players or players trying to be competitive. The problem is WoW is a single player lobby game you happen to play with others. I was recruited to work for Blizzard years ago and I would never do it. We have polar opposite design philosophies lol.

@Vivitix-dalaran

My analogy has always been, WoW is like McDonalds, serves millions but doesn’t produce the best burger.

And if that burger isnt ready by the second window they just leave.

That’s Blizzard design model conditioning players with instant gratification. It’s self inflicted wounds for them lol.

That’s just the way things are now, gotta go fast at everything.
