How do you guys stay engaged in an overly easy game?

You claim WoW is too easy, and most of your parses for ilvl are in the green.

Another Onikoneko thread, much in the same vein as the last…two? Three?

Seeing as discussion ain’t on the table, I’ll throw this out there, just in general.

I keep myself engaged because I have a lot to do. I do PvE, PvP, RP, old mog hunting (namely guns), I have multiple characters, one nearly as geared as my main. I have no shortage of things to do.

My goals this season (and every season onwards) is to get AotC, beat Underpin ?? and hit 1850 PvP rating in RSS/RBGB. I’m doing RBGB this season because RSS as MM is nothing short of giga stressful.

Already got Underpin ??, I’m 6/8 in H and I haven’t pushed PvP hard yet, but that’ll be after AotC. So, yeah, plenty of work to do.

Even when I know this is, y’know, your thread, this is an absolutely wild take.

I mean.

he’s done this on other character names a lot in the past. Its just par for the course.

Pretends that WoW is easy and he is one of the best players ever, while logs are below average.

Yea, that right there leads to burn out.

Pick one, or two characters to focus on, and if there’s nothing to do, watch some TV. There’s a tone of good viewing out there. The Pitt on Max, NCIS Origins on Paramount, and a ton more.

LOL, you think those are the only other MMOs? GW2 has way more content than achievements and cosmetic grinding.

I dunno about FF14, haven’t played that game in years.

I feel bad for a lot of WoW players, you guys think only a few MMOs exist.

Not to get personal, but I think you are trying to fill a void in your real life with gaming. Maybe it is time to find a new things to do in life that will offer the ā€œchallengeā€ you are desperately seeking.

Oh, now that makes sense. I was starting to think that he’s just a masochist.

You’re not doing super easy content at 2400 io when thinking about pushing Mythic raids though. Even the Heroic raids at the high end are fairly challenging. If you find this all super easy then for you it’s simply cause you’re not challenging yourself enough.

This is basically all subjective too, cause for an MDI player perhaps a +14 is super easy but a +16 is where it’s hard, but to most of the rest of the playerbase they’ll never reach a +15.

But basically it’s always been a goofy cartoon game that most don’t take too seriously. Hell most truly competitive players completely ignore WoW and play other truly hardcore games. WoW is basically Hello Kitty Online adventures with a bit of a niche hardcore endgame for people that like number crunching, grinding, and coordinating button pushing. The only real skilled hardcore players are perhaps the pvp’ers here (even highend M+ is a joke and likely mostly about exploiting everything you can to push pve and squeeze out just a bit more dps to beat a timer).

If you want a true Hardcore game go try something like EVE Online where you’re just a peon amidst a massive war between loads of veteran hardcore gamers in super alliances that will eat you alive.

Even though this post is bait, I’ll take it for a moment

Cool. You did easy content and called it easy. Maybe try something actually difficult before you make this judgment

Parses mean so much when I’m not cheesing them, when I don’t have tier, when I’m half asleep doing them, and when I have unoptimized gear.

Go be an antagonistic troll elsewhere.

BOTW murdered Zelda as a series bro. All 3 Zelda games to come out recently are just drivel. But morons pay through the nose for it, so it will forever be this way. My childhood series is dead.

Can’t. I try, and then I just can’t even muster up the will to log in. It’s like, what am I goinna do? Pug a heroic raid and spend hours wiping because smart people can’t walk two steps to the left, cool. Pug some keys and do a rotation that I find extremely boring? Cool. AFK in Dornogal and not argue in trade chat because even the SLIGHTEST little thing gets you muted? Cool.

Like the only thing that keeps me going is the novelty of alt swapping every few days.

Not really. I’m not into hyper sexual garbage, I don’t like graphic violence, I’m not into super edgy garbage. That precludes most modern TV.

If it’s your first time playing the game, sure! But once you get to FOTM 100 and do challenge modes, there’s no reason to anymore. Once you do the raid one time, there’s no reason to.

The literal only content in that game is farming for transmogs / achievements. This is why we need a treadmill and new content.

And it’s not like you can play WvW or anything either, 'cause it’s dead 80% of the time now, and no one takes it seriously, so you have a bunch of ktrains flipping towers and that’s about it.

Name one MMO that has anything remotely similar to M+.

Nothing ever has. The only thing I didn’t pick up basically instantly was art – I suck at it. \o/

ā€œYou have to 100% a game before you can say it’s not funā€

No, you can play for an hour and say it’s not fun. Mario isn’t hard, but Mario is fun.

Soulslikes are considered the hardest games out there, yeah? I think they’re mindlessly easy, overly shallow, and ultimately just not fun – one Soulsborne was enough.

Give me a properly geared character, bring me to your guild run, I’d run circles around you.

And there it is lol.

I don’t typically play easy games. That’s why I play WoW, as it is a simple game, but not an ā€˜easy’ one (it not being ā€˜easy’ doesn’t mean it is ā€˜hard’ either, just to note that down). People conflate these all the time.

But if you are bored at the level you play at, then… play at a higher difficulty. Play on alts. Push those. Become better at even more characters. Master multiple. Push into +15s on all classes and specializations in the game!

There’s tons of ways for you to fix your predicament.


Nevermind, judging by your posts here… just another troll poster. Still though, what I said still stand for any non-trolling posters though. Just a shame the OP isn’t acting in good faith though.

I’m not triggered I’m just a little upset he devalued the greatest achievement known to gamers everywhere: Tower Ranger.

He also said souls games aren’t hard but man they kick my butt and other souls-likes and I’m not afraid to admit it. Remnant 2 kicked my butt but I beat it anyway. Do you see me bragging about beating an FRC Chalice dungeon in Bloodborne? Nah nobody cares. Completing 100% achieves on Sekiro? No one cares. Even if I were a highend WoW player but didn’t stream nobody would give a crud. Besides we’re constantly just moving goal posts here anyway so it’s not super challenging unless the hardcore mob considers it valid now lol. Even esports players get talked down to in regards to how they play games it’s wild.

And also I’m a potato

My problem is that higher keys aren’t really harder. You just get punished more for messing up.

So like, I continue doing the same mechanics I’m bored of, I continue with the same overly easy rotation that I’m bored of, but now I get one shot if I don’t interrupt a cast – and above 12s, the affix even goes away for some reason?

It’s just… not that great.

Mythic raids sound neat, but they typically don’t add a whole lot, you’re just forced to actually do mechanics you’d cheese or ignore in heroic, but I already do mechanics, and volunteer to do all the extra things anyway. So is it really any different?

I dont play it because its ā€˜hard’. The only game Ive ever found to be hard is golf…and thats only because of my constant need to change things out of boredom, while golf is a game of repetition. The game is easy enough if you can keep repeating what works. I couldnt because I constantly have to be tinkering with my swing.

Computer games arent hard. Its a memory and reflex thing. Jump, duck, move there, etc. If you know what you have to do and have the reflexes to do it, youre good. Its not like the game doesnt give you plenty of warning that something is coming in many to most cases.

How do I stay engaged? I dont play the game for the combat challenge or I would end up getting bored and moving on.
I play the game because of its vastness. All the quests to run…and run again, and again…and again.
I like any game that has good replay value and personality. WoW has both. Thats why I keep playing.
