would have to pass through the monkey’s paw first

Too true! That’s why all my first thoughts are always as short as I can write. I figured your post piqued my interest enough to throw a little more out there, maybe more for myself than anyone. Very perspicacious view, sir!

Preface: i’m a super casual, mostly alliance player, who started in vanilla. havent done much raiding as current content nor pvp, so i wont be touching on that aspect of the game.

How to make wow great again? well lets start with the foundation - et. al, casual and entry level environments. Observe:

GAME SIZE

Wow really should be three games (vanilla-wotlk, cata-wod, legion-shadowlands. all three games should start at level 1, go to 80 and re-establish the professions). its much too big now, even with level squish. its so big, it erases the reason to do anything but endgame, and that negatively impacts everything profession related and makes casual play perplexing and meaningless. put dev teams on each game and have them develop new content for that game. not expacs.

PROFESSIONS

Professions have been decimated by 3 things: heirlooms, reward loot bags for random LFG dungeon completes and the size of the game.

HEIRLOOMS

heirlooms: they remove the need to buy and upgrade gear, thus negatively impacting blacksmithing, tailoring, leatherworking and jewelry crafting. this also impacts other professions who provide resources for those activities, such as herbalists, alchemists, miners and skinners. heirlooms need to go.

LOOT BAGS

reward loot satchels: they double down on the damage done by heirlooms. if they must be in the game, they should be rare drops from random dungeon mobs, similar to getting a blue drop. this will re-incentivize dungeon re-que-ing.

NEW PROFESSIONS

player housing and architect. 'nuff said.

CUSTOMIZATIONS

I mean, how hard is it to turn on red eyes for belfs, beards for trolls and undead, more hairstyles for velfs, more poc hairstyles, etc ? this is such an easy way to make customers happy, its weird we dont already have tons of new customizations. /tries to peek over the wall…whats going on over there?

@Felisha-quelthalas

• MAKE GUNS SOUND LIKE GUNS AGAIN
• remodel all the other cities in Azeroth so they can be flyable and playable again (Lorderon)
• Give Guilneas back to the Worgen and have the Nightelf join so they can make a new Home City there sense theirs got burn down and they where housing Worgens sense cataclysm (i am sure Genn will want to help them)
• Give Kezan to the Goblins and make their home island playable so many people can visit that zone (also bring back the Lost Isles so players can visit it too)
• Land the Giant Turtle in Pandaria so players can revisit the turtle again and let Pandaren finish rep with that faction only found in that island)
• Give Dreanie the option to change the colors of their horn (on heartstone there is a dreanie lady that has diferent color horns and also Kil’jaden also have diferent color horns…)
• Fix this Lore Mess

ALL OF THIS.

translate plz

[Crimsonblade-darkspear (Crimsonblade)]

How about the devs stop neutering the game and make content?

[Orctang-area-52 (Orctang)]

You got some good ideas, but Blizzard needs to make the game more rewarding for all players. Otherwise the game will continue to fail.
