Account wide unlocks? Ugh. I hate people that want to play, and then complain that they actually have to play.

I hate companies that opt to monetize level boosters when you already pay a subscription & discriminate agaisnt players that use such services.
I had over 30 70+ characters 20 were at very least end-game geared or raid ready before i left in early Cataclysm with around 15k documented hours across 2 x-fire accounts.
I think I played the game a bit over that 5 year span, I could be mistaken.
This is an oft-forgotten about important point. LFR and LFG would be fine if they were just on the same server.

Uphill through the snow both ways.
People talk to one another all the time still. Have you tried going outside for a change?
And? You played the game and apparently enjoyed it. If you don’t want to play the game and no longer enjoy it, stop making alts.
So simple, even you can probably figure it out…
Combination of Death Knight and Druid doomed WoW.
When Death Knight was introduced a lot of game theory changed. Now all melee had to be able to pressure at midrange. All melee had to have a lot more mobility. All Tanks had to have aoe threat. Resource managment had to be loosened. Cooldowns had to be powerful and more frequent. Tanking had to be easy as pressing a button.(I’m oversimplifying, but it got a lot easier.) And all melee had to have self heals. (Soon everyone had to have self heals.)
DK really messed up a lot of pvp and pve real fast.
Then there’s Druid. A class that can do anything equally to all other classes in those roles totally borked the game. Homogenization killed player attachment to characters and to their feeling of a place in the greater communities. Players and the next generation of players flocked to other games like LoL for example.
At least those were the lowpoints of my experience with WoW post TBC.
I first quit in Wrath pre LFD cause the writing was on the wall.
Why? To watch people staring at their social media accounts on their phones?
Simple answer, yes.

I don’t think it did. I remember clearly how tough it was to form groups, especially later on when no one ran the lower level dungeons the correct way and folks just got their high level friends to run them through.
The LFD tool was a godsend for folks like me who struggled.
Once you throw a rabid dog a bone, you cant take it back.

I’ve been saying this for years. Lfd was a terrible idea. Lfr even more so. Yet people are so afraid to talk about it
Doesn’t invalidate what I said at all.
Still was one of the genre’s best inventions. (Take out the crossrealm and teleporting to the instances and it would be perfect.)
Two of the best things ever made.
Took the gatekeeping control out of the hands of elitists.
It may have helped you “make” a group, but it did so much damage to other parts of the game.
You couldn’t figure out how to start a group?
Sorry, sitting in a city spamming chat for hours trying to find a group isn’t my idea of a good time.
Talk about turning WoW into a chat lobby.
