The mission table is like if archaeology increased your character’s power level and if you wanted to min-max you had better get ready to dig. If the mission table sticks around for a third expansion, can we please make it a minigame? At most it should be an alternative way to farm gold, but it shouldn’t give AP or titan residium.

I have no problem with it being made irrelevant to bleeding edge folks, but I would actually like to see it expanded upon, not removed.

I don’t think we should have to interact with a table just to send minions to do odd jobs. It should just be a window you can pull up like your mount or pet collection.

Why “remove” stuff from the game? Nothing should EVER be remove no matter how bad it is, the mission table in BFA effect nothing its so irrelevant.

It’d be up for expansion #4 if it makes it into 9.0
Personally I loved the table in WoD and Legion, but then I enjoy min/maxing and optimizing the best possible follower setup and then reaping the rewards.
The iteration in BfA is completely worthless for a lot of reasons, including the unnecessarily high cost of the follower gear and adding RNG to minion traits. I’d rather them just do away with it entirely than use this useless skeleton again.

Ive been hoping to see it gone since WOD. Its a boring piece of “content” and it adds nothing to the game. That aside, Bliz should be coming up with new ideas for expansions, not just reskinning everything with a new theme to slap it with a new expansion price tag. Its lazy and insulting.

I doubt its going anywhere. It gives some people a reason to log in. I’m no cynical about it and I use it. But it makes sense to a company that wants people to log in.
They can keep the mission table if they want, it’s pretty innocuous and you can just ignore it if you want. It’s Artifact Power and World Quests that need to go, they were fine as Legion’s “thing” but three expansions in a row with them would be too much.

You can almost completely ignore it this expansion. I don’t particularly care for it either but other people like it so no. There is no need to remove optional content just because you personally don’t like it.

It’s only purpose is a few things for the war campaign and the Worldvein Essence. Just ignore it.
I actually have no issues with the mission table in BfA. I can ignore it and don’t feel like I’m missing out on anything important. If I’m bored, the app lets me kill some time for minor bonuses.
Why? It’s right there… You don’t have to go out of your way to access it. So the archaeology comparison doesn’t really compute.
The window’s on your phone!
And having just levelled a new alt… getting to neck level 55 is now really easy (when you open up your second Essence slot)… almost a thousand AP per lvl… so I’m going to start doing the table AP missions on all my alts!
In WoD and in Legion, easy gold via the mission table was a way to keep people subscribed, or to reward people for staying subscribed. More alts you had, more gold you made. Don’t expect this to change in BFA.
I don’t mind it… but at this point other than for little pet tokens I have no use for it. Which may be why I have (logs into check) 42k resources. I will NOT spent them on that stupid necklace. I just won’t. I hate that thing and if there were a way to destroy it I would.

missions to get more flightpaths on the other continent? pretty sure those were a mission table exclusive.
The follower system in SWTOR was like that & had a bit more of an interactive feel to it than a chore.

It’d be nice to be able to hop into scenarios with your followers via the table, at least you get to do something.

lol, so much this.
That’s why I’m very leery about blizzcon and the next WoW reveal.
my horde alts are way behind on their mission table since it’s too far from the bank
