I mean today I did every world quest, every quest, every daily I could possibly do. Right now all I can do is wait like 24h so my missions reset.
I wasn’t playing most of last year. I was doing other stuff, idk. I wanted to but I didn’t really have any friends playing so I just didn’t.
I can’t see myself agreeing with you on that one Certezarcana. E.G; People who would put in the effort to form and complete say a Mythic raid deserve the rewards they get to the exclusion of others.
It wouldn’t be fair for me to even slowly work towards say a 475 Torment in a Jar because I didn’t clear the level of content to get it.
As it stands we already get gear that is better than the content we do due to the power buffs from legendary weapons/artifacts (500 ilvl) and weekly chest. Which anyone can do and is a pretty fair balance between accessibility and power.
Absolutely false statement. lol
If you make good quality content, you don’t need to “trap” your customers with time gates.
TBH, I think a large part of an issue as that everyone has their own ‘playstyle’, and not many people may be similar in ‘playstyles’ as the person next to you, or the other person across the street from you. Everyone’s very different in a lot of regards, and just going off and being able to adapt by all of these different playstyles people may have is a bit hard, especially when you may not even know how different someone’s playstyle may be.
As a result, I think it’s okay to have certain aspects of the game that cater to specific playstyles. Don’t get me wrong, I think if you can play how you wish with whatever playstyles you like is nice and all, but it’s also very difficult to allow and facilitate. Therefore, it’s a lot more manageable to say this content is good for people that perhaps prefer fast-paced challenging content that gets harder and harder. Or weekly content that is scripted and consistent every week you go into it, etc. and so forth.
Well the reputations you’re talking about have been out for a year, or more. You’ve had plenty of time to do them.
If you chose to do something else instead, that’s your choice. Demanding that Blizzard change the game to cater to people who don’t even subscribe… yeah, that’s not gonna happen.
Oh yes, me and every casual has ruined the game. This never gets old. Please, tell me more.
Okay, I get your point. I know how the game works. I don’t agree not even a little. A game can be whatever you design it to be and right now the game’s designed the way you said. I’ve done this post to say I don’t like the way the game is currently designed (or overly-designed I should say).
Also the type of person you are changes everything if you’re thinking about gamedesign. Introverted and shy people have everything harder in life. It’s harder to get a job, harder to get friends, harder to get into relationships. I can’t help but feel that when I get home and wanna escape this world, Azeroth should be different.
I think WoW is already super accessible to the solo player already, they are unlocking AR and stuff in SL if its that big of an issue you could wait.
I am against incentivising old content, I don’t want to be “forced” back into it. Sorry that you missed it when it was current but bribing people to do it with you isn’t the right step.
Over a year ago, Blizzard held a Q&A. They said in the Q&A that social contracts are everywhere in this game, and are intended to be part of the gaming experience. This was in specific regards to M+.
If you do not wish to be social and want an actual escape from the game, pick up a single player game like Skyrim where the entire world is tailored to you being the star of the world and absolutely nothing limits you. I’m not being sarcastic. It’s a great game for someone as you describe.
But WoW is meant to be a social experience, and the people who put forth the time to be social and involved in circles for the sake of getting things done will always be ahead of cats.
Exactly - and this is their job, after all. Make it so we don’t see the hamster wheel.
That makes absolutely no sense. They are not asking for a weeks worth of content, they are asking that the content be something they can catch up on without them having to wait 2 months for 5 daily quests per day.
If you are a fresh 120, you can power through as many mythic+ dungeons you want in a day till you are ‘caught up’, why it is so hard to believe that people would like the same thing but for reps?
But you wouldn’t be forced into old content if they just used one currency. You could do new content and then just go and buy old stuff with that currency you earned in new content. Or get new stuff. That’s up to you, it just gives the players more choice.
If the OP (and similar individuals) had remained subscribed to the game and playing, I would agree with you. However, OP abandoned the game, and is now coming back and demanding that everything from the last year and a half be doable at once.
And that’s not how Blizzard is ever going to design the game. The game is designed around paying customers, not around people who cancel their accounts.
A large part of the issue with having singular currency in my opinion is that then it creates an internal issue with the playerbase on where they should hold their currency to buy x, y, z items in any content that you want and the question then presents itself on if that currency mingles with current and old, if that is the case more often than not the player will want to hold their currency and buy current content, despite them wanting anything cosmetic for old content that could potentially be more expensive because it is cosmetic. Whatever the case may be, you’re creating a challenging question on what do you wish to spend that currency on if everything both old and new got consolidated to one currency.
Unless you got locked out of rewards people would just be expected to do both for max currency gain.
World quests are only tied to reps and some low ilvl gear, let them do it all at once. At what point do you get so invested in the game that you believe you can dictate the game for others? Let them do 2 years worth of repeatable world quests for rep.
Yeah and I use wow to practice a lot of that social thing you know. But honestly, if we’re being blunt here, whenever I do content with someone who treats me like you I just don’t feel like playing the game anymore. That’s why I usually only play with friends. Maybe I don’t have a thick enough skin? I don’t know. I still don’t think I should be punished for that. And yes, not being able to get some mount or transmog gear even though I paid the same price as people who are doing M+ feels like punishment.
I am a paying customer. I have been subscribed to BfA since day one with no interruptions. I got my Pathfinder Pt. 1, EIGHT days after release.
It is disgustingly unacceptable I had to wait 11 months for absolutely no reason, in order to be allowed to unlock Pt.2. Absolutely ZERO people remained subbed during those 11 months, because the time-gate was there. On the contrary it promoted people to quit the game until then.
You have no idea what you are talking about lol.
They took the caps off during Mists and people hated it, which is why the cap was put back on.
We’ve been through this all before.
I agree. The arbitrary 11-month wait is unacceptable. Pathfinder 1, while fine in itself, should actually give flying.
Feel free to check my post history on this for years, I’ve been one of the loudest complainers of the year-long-waiting-period for flying.
Regardless, OP would have flying. Right now. If he had been playing.
