Everything feels pretty pointless

system is eaten by another system.

Look at it this way: by the time you get to 9.2, with the tier sets and the double legendary etc etc your character(s) will be so ridiculously overpowered it will be lots of fun blasting through things.

Remember the Corruption stuff tacked on at the end of BfA? It will probably be the same in the last part of the expac. By that time nobody will care about what grinds we had to do or what rabbit holes we had to scramble down to get whatever bit of bling we needed.

Just go with the flow and see how much of the game you can explode with your awesomeness. :sunglasses:

And this is why I haven’t much effort i to end game since BC.

When out of curiosity did wow not feel pointless?

Enjoy your time. Nothing lasts forever.

The more the things you do matter in the long run, the more people will cry that they need to have shortcuts to catch up on those meaningful things. It is this way because this is what the players want.

So you’re done now? Like actually done this expansion? Not logging in and playing? Are you actually saying that?

It has been this way literally for the LAST FOUR EXPANSIONS.

And you are JUST now figuring this out? :rofl:

Blizzard really should re-think that. I know we got here because some people complained they wanted everything to be easier and faster, but now those same people complain there’s “nothing to do” and periodically unsub.

Blizzard needs to get rid of catch-ups and reward their loyal customers instead of the cyclical ones. They’re so obsessed with bringing back lapsed players that they keep creating more lapsed players in the process.

Sub is due to run out in December.

No intention on renewing.

And no you can’t have my stuff.

I feel confident about this new Story Arc Warcraft is taking us that might hold the answers to why? What? & When?

But that’s just it. Everything is not as fast and easy as it should be, imo. I think many will agree with me.

Because there isn’t. And that makes no sense.

If gearing, min-maxing, and catchup etc. really were as fast as you suggest, that should give Blizzard time to put more content into each patch yeah? This is nobodies fault but Blizzard.

Whether the game is fast or slow does not matter. The content being fun and rewarding is what matters. That is not what we have now. Literally everything in SL is timegated tedium.

I mean dude you’re playing a video game here, not earning a life savings. You either have fun pushing the buttons so you keep pushing them or you don’t and you stop. This whole attitude of you’ve “earned” something lasting and meaningful is so weird these days. Video games are like any other form of entertainment. Do you watch a movie and get disappointed that you don’t have anything “lasting and meaningful” for your two hour investment?

So what is this “content” you want them to add?

Quests that people will complain about having to do because the quest chains are too long?
Invasions that people will say are annoying and a “chore”?
Raids that people who hate raids don’t want to do?
Things like Brawler’s Guild that people won’t do because it doesn’t give gear?
Open world exploration with puzzles, hidden treasures, rares, etc. that people won’t bother with?

Nobody is ever able to explain what this “content” they want is.

I’ve heard that before.

I’m most certain you’d have nothing I want.

Maybe you should wait until then.

Constantly bringing it up wont make time go faster.

The rewards that everyone actually wanted were locked behind an rng lootbox that you had to constantly grind rep for. Garbage.

The drops from raids do not stack up to the time and investment needed. Increase the drops. Mythic + is a part of the game now. Add more dungeons. I have seen your argument about tanks having to learn many routes but that’s not a big deal. They can be learned quickly.

We bothered with it in Legion, when there was Titanforging, because that made it worth the time investment. BFA made WQs bad, and Shadowlands made them even WORSE.

I’m gonna be presumptuous and speak for others here when I say this: We are not doing this trash content for the hell of it. We want a worthwhile reward. We should be getting stuff like mage tower and torghast with a bunch of cosmetics and gear EVERY major patch.

Being the “not doing it for nothing” type, is not a bad thing.

you kno wat else is pointless making decisions stop making decisions today and live the utopian life

I remember when grinding for 3 months rewarded meaningful mounts, mogs, and perhaps even a legendary… Gone are the days we get anything cool.

Now we grind for 3 months for A) Ugly Mount B) Temporary Character Power and C) A random cloak nobody will ever transmog

I dislike Shadowlands. I don’t like the systems, and for some reason I feel it is complicated. I liked BFA and Legions pretty well. Loved the intro quest at the end of BFA, that 2 week long gearing up thing In Icecrown

So I still am not renowned with my main. And I’m leveling alts in old zones.
