“round 2! TROLL!”

22

What keeps someone golfing, bowling, fishing, working on cars, or woodworking? You could say the same for any of them.

Why should I keep woodworking, I’ve already made a desk? I don’t see much point in doing anything else. They should make woodworking more exciting. I go out in the shop, I pick up a saw, and then I just set it back down and go back in the house.

Sounds like you don’t like WoW. Maybe it’s time to move on if you aren’t having fun? If you enjoy something, you’re not concerned with what you’re going to get out of doing it, you do it because that’s what you enjoy doing.

I take multiple months off each expansion. Usually to play League. I don’t have a life.

Yet.

24

I find myself always seemingly waiting “for the next patch” as well.

I don’t think they are giving us enough to do between the bunch. We need to have patches coming out with so much stufff we are all like “No Blizz… we are still only halfway through the stuff added 2 patches ago”

25

You’re awesome. And I’m glad we got you to smile again. :slightly_smiling_face::blue_heart:

Because I am still having fun playing why else would I log on the game. :wolf::zap:

27

Not really.

I don’t Raid. I don’t PVP. I don’t do M+

I work on Transmog, Battle Pets, Mounts.
I RolePlay. I read up on the lore.
World Quests. Perhaps a Warfront and LFR here or there.
Old quests, reputation, etc. There is still a LOT of content to do.

Friends? Originally no, but I finally found a guild that treats me fairly.

I still have fun with the game; perhaps the way to do such is not to take it too seriously? Who knows.

29

I haven’t experienced the whole story, haven’t done professions like ever, and I’m just getting into PvP.

It’s still pretty fun ^.^

These are not replacement wheels but the reasons why I play. They are what I get enjoyment from. There is not one elusive thing but many things depending on who you talk to. Currently I am logging on more to get pets and maybe…maybe finish out the major quest lines. After that maybe I will level up my lowbie alts.

31

All I’ve been logging in for lately is to finish up Zandalari rep on my Horde character.

After that, not really sure. I may level one but I’m not really in a hurry to do that and don’t have interest in much else right now.

I do like the forums but there’s so much negativity here, not just about the game but it seems like every thread is the same few people turning it into petty arguments.

I don’t know, might be time for a break soon, maybe from the forums and the game.

32

Well, since WoD sucks…and Legion sucks…and BfA sucks…what was keeping me logged in was running characters thru classic dungeons and MoP content.
Blizzard had to ruin my mood to play with, yet again, more removing of useful things that didnt need to be removed, but just because ‘we say so’…which leaves me NOT logging in at all for wondering what useful thing I have now that they’ll be removing in their next tantrum.

33

Leveling alts is my main thing outside of getting achievs with my main ally and doing all I can on both him and my horde main. Outside of that I level a lot of alts, usually only getting bored in that 60-80 range. I love Pandaria, force myself through WoD and then love Legion and BFA enough to keep going. I don’t do raids and find IEs and Warfronts boring for the most part, and rarely touch dungeons except for mog hunts. I am enjoying myself enough and still play 1-3 hours daily when other family things aren’t going on. I feel bad for people who don’t have fun anymore, regardless of their reasons, but for now I’m ok.

34

Unfortunately that loop hole still exists. It lets in all sorts of people that want to do nothing but troll or advertise other games.

35

I really like my character. Sometimes I take breaks (more like “lapses” I guess since it’s usually not really scheduled), but after a while I start to miss my toon almost like you’d miss seeing a RL friend or acquaintance. When I’m not playing, I imagine he’s out there stomping the enemy in Ashenvale, or sitting on one of those floating rocks in Nagrand, and I want to be there too.

If I’m doing mundane things away from WoW I’ll sometimes think about my character or fantasize about doing various things, think about talent spec choices or whatever. Sometimes I’ll get home and log on but not be able to identify a specific thing I wanted to do. Sometimes I just want to be in Azeroth with my character, I guess.

Right now I’m still excited about the incursions, even though I’ve gotten pretty much everything I wanted out of them. Even after I’ve capped for the week I’m still looking at the timers, counting the hours and figuring out which ones I can participate in and which ones I’ll miss. I suspect that my interest there will wane at some point, but then I’ll just get back into something else (BG’s, dungeons, farming), or I’ll take a break and pick up the sword again later.

Things that are not keeping me logging on:

  • Lack of challenging content outside of Raid/M+.
  • No reasonably achievable upgrades outside of mythic raiding or WF/TF for both main and off specs.
  • PvP CC trains are extremely frustrating and make it unfun for me.
  • Leveling another character that I wont play is unappealing.
  • WQ are not engaging and the rewards don’t feel remotely impactful.
  • Professions are zzZZzzzZZZzzz.

Things that do get me to log on:

  • Raid nights, I enjoy challenging content that isn’t on a ticking timer.
  • Brawlers guild when I eventually get around to it.

If I didn’t have a guild of 24 people that I play with for 6 hours 2 nights a week them I wouldn’t be here currently. If they want to recapture my attention they need to rethink reward structure & pacing, and find a way to make the world less trivial.

37

After unlocking Zandalari and their heritage armor and having issues with my guild and raiding, my motivation to do much in the game is waning fast. Think it’s time I sit back and determine priories (in game and irl) and rearrange things.

38

Comparing real life things to a virtual game…No, please just no no no no.

You should have just left it at " because I enjoy it still and you don’t".

:slight_smile:

39

That’s my secret Juniorpro, I’m always leveling. I have no main.

40

This attitude has always puzzled me. The game is different things for different people. For you, it might be all about your main and what advances that main. For others, alts/achievements/professions ARE the game.

I almost feel sorry for people that believe that endgame is all there is to this game. I love playing my alts. Questing (not just leveling) is a HUGE part of my enjoyment of the game. There’s so much lore and story in the game to experience.

As for why I play my main (this character) and what motivates me to log in? I like to pop in and do my world quests. Lately, I’ve been doing a lot of pvp and having a blast. I do mount/transmog/pet farming too. Item Level means absolutely nothing to me. Next patch, everything you’re wearing becomes obsolete. Cool mounts, awesome looking weapons and armor… that stuff lasts forever and (to me) is the true reason and means to play.
