This isn’t really meant to be a complaint thread, more of just a “I don’t know what else to do anymore” thread.
Like many of you, I have been experiencing a variety of issues as a Fury warrior. Obviously, I am having issues with my DPS. I am constantly right above or below tanks. I think most of you know where this goes.
I have reached a point where I am basically stuck. I cannot further progress because my DPS is absolutely awful, despite trying everything imaginable, as well as reading these forums for advice and getting more advice in-game from other warriors who perform a bit better. Even if I am lucky enough to get into a group, I am usually swiftly removed from it (because of DPS), but even that isn’t my only issue anymore.
I am mostly regulated to running Mythic + since it’s nearly impossible to get into a raid at this point, and I already am not a fan of Mythic +. I’m a raid guy. Because I am stuck doing so many Mythic + dungeons, players are forced to put up with my awful DPS or potentially waste hours of time once somebody inevitably quits from a wipe. This causes players to constantly harass me, ridicule me, insult me, and basically tell me I shouldn’t be playing the game.
Listen, I can deal with the ridicule. I’m a big boy and I know it’s part of WoW, and MMO’s in general. However, in the 16 years I’ve played this game, I have never experienced such an enormous amount of vitriol and hate, especially over something that I, and many of us, simply cannot control. The 5% buff has done absolutely NOTHING for me and I am still doing the same DPS, at least relative to who I’m playing with.
I love this game. It has been my escape when the cruelties of the world creep up on me or if I just want to relax and actually enjoy knocking off a few bosses with people online. As it stands, I no longer enjoy playing this game, or the community. This expansion has ruined warrior for me, and I refuse to “play something else” because of things beyond my control. I even had to leave the guild I’ve been in because I couldn’t even do a raid with my GUILD MEMBERS without having shade thrown at me.
I have talked to Blizzard reps about this issue, but like with anything Customer Support related, I get the generic “we’re sorry” followed by “we can’t help”. Blizzard loves to publicly champion these very issues while quietly allowing them to happen on a daily basis.
As someone who already has PTSD, the constant “uninstall the game” and “you’re a retard” comments I get, which are almost EVERY time I’m in a dungeon or raid, have me stuck at a point where I don’t know that I can play the only game that I love. I wish Blizzard would have done more to fix Fury, so I could at least enjoy it more while being insulted, but now I’m not even getting loot most of the time. I’d gladly trade the insults for better loot, but I can’t even have that.
I only have a few days left of game time, and I’m really leaning toward just walking away, as much as I really don’t want to.
I didn’t come here looking for pity, I just genuinely have no solution at this point, and I don’t see anything improving. Blizzard certainly is in no rush to buff Fury in any way as the 5% buff basically says it all, and so I am basically regulated to running tons of dungeons while being harassed just for the CHANCE at an upgrade from the vault.
If you’re here to leave comments like “play better” or “fury doesn’t suck, it’s just you”, please refrain from commenting. I hear enough of it in-game.
I have 3-4 days of game time left. Someone convince me it’s still worth spending my money to be harassed. I’ve already expressed all this at least 3 times to Blizzard employees and they don’t seem to care at all.
