With school winding down, and no work or ANYTHING because of lock-down things with Shadowlands would have worked out well if it wasn’t for TORGHAST.
Torghast sucks and I hate it but I’ll return once things improve.
For one, don’t make it mandatory and two at least make it enjoyable to some extent. IT IS SO BORING!
You can do other content and not do Torghast.
Thank you for the update. I was clutching pearls hoping youd find a way to make it back contingent upon improvement.
YOu Can dO OtHer coNtEnT And noT dO tOrGhaST.
How is it mandatory exactly?
You won’t get soul ash and as far as I know you can still zone into any dungeon or raid without it.
Unless you’re saying you won’t be competitive dps without your legendary but at this point if you couldn’t do just 2 l3 runs for a legendary you’re probably too casual to really care
No. Stop. Come back.
I did some BGs with my 60. I just got bored after my renown got to 4…only did like 6 missions with my followers because I don’t want to pay anima for heals. I don’t go to the maw anymore. Torghast was fun with my wife, but she stopped playing, so I stopped as well.
maybe try renown hunting.
I am not thrilled beyond measure so far. I am looking forward to Wednesday to see what renown 10 gets in the WQ loot rotations. NOt expecting or wanting mythic gear. But yeah…I’d like to lose some 151 gear RNG so far has not been giving.
I got 3 chars at renown 9. Hoping something gives starting Wednesday.
That is not a counter argument, but I will explain more since you seem need it.
Legendaries do not make or break your character. My raiding guild has no legendaries at the moment because we are holding out to see which ones get nerfed. So if you didn’t hear that correctly, we are raiding without legendaries. How are we doing this? Because legendaries are not required.
The majority of the power from the legendary comes from the ability and not the stats. If you did Torghast the previous two weeks you can make your legendary and forget about Torghast for a while. Ezpz. A 190 legendary is only slightly worse than a 210+ legendary.
Someone do me a favor: If I ever a) Write a post saying I am quitting or b) Make a post about not logging in, ask me for my home address then come slap me.
Sounds good to me! See you next week!
You never know, it might happen. I even did it a few years ago (and yes I did actually quit for a few years). I remember saying I was moving to BDO because I didn’t like the WoW grind. People said I’d be back in a couple of days because BDO is way more grindy than WoW. 3 years of playing BDO later and I now know that it’s not the simple fact that there is or is not a grind. It’s how the grind is presented and how the player can interact with the grind that makes the difference.
But back to the original statement. Sometimes people do crazy things that they normally wouldn’t do. You might just write a post when you quit.
If you’re not raiding mythic, you don’t need torghast. Move on and enjoy the parts of the game you like.
Oh I have quit many times (though I guess breaks would be more accurate). I just don’t feel the need to announce it. 
I am well past the age of angry ranting on forums. That’s not meaning to insult anyone… I am just 47 and it would be pretty ridiculous (to me) if I made an “I quit” post.
Does it feel rewarding/engaging/fun in its own merit? The rewards need to be much higher when you’re trying to convince players to repeat disagreeable content indefinitely than content they find fun.
But my other point is that you are a prime example of what happens when a player leaves over some difference they have with game mechanics. They leave for years. The “you’ll be back next week” we hear on the forums is false.
Oh. You mean Legion.
I read this… and then reread it with the sound of the villain at the end of a Scooby Doo episode… “I would have gotten away with it too if it wasn’t for those meddling kids!”
Yeah I know… doing solo content that you get multiple levels of difficulty in is just so dreadful… poor you.
Blizzard… make it mandatory only for his account. Also reduce the chances of things dropping in the Twisting setting so that he has more to complain about.
I’m not sure if I understand your question completely but I’ll do my best to answer it. The reward from grinding in BDO is different (in a good way for some, but a bad way to others) because its entirely at your pace, but it is a nearly infinite grind. You aren’t being told where to go or what to do, you’re simply doing it because of your own set goals.
Two things that made the BDO grind enjoyable to me are:
You can reach your goal as you see fit. Almost nothing is soulbound – not mounts, not armor – and so you can choose to make money (which can be done efficiently in many, many ways that fits nearly any playstyle) to achieve your goals rather than some daily grind.
It is such a long and hard grind that it feels extremely rewarding to finally reach your goal. Gearing in BDO took me multiple months of non-stop grinding to reach softcap. This achievement felt amazing because I had worked so hard for so long to achieve it. It also felt all the sweeter because it wasn’t some preset prerequisite. It was something that I wanted to achieve. No one was telling me to do it but me.
This is generally true. If people care enough about quitting to post on the forums about it then it isn’t because they’ve simply grown out of playing WoW or that their life has changed in some way that it doesn’t support WoW anymore. People post on the forums because a change happened that caused the game to no longer be enjoyable and as much as the player wants to keep playing they simply can’t until the problem is resolved in some way.
Indeed, those that have their subs lapse like mine will in about 10 days will be gone from the forums.
Eventually the sub turns into people who toe the line for blizzard.
Whether that’s preferable or not is debatable.
I haven’t played in over 15 minutes.
