First I just want to say I do not hate WoW, I’m a father of 3 boys now (6,2, and 10 months), but I remember going over to my friends when I was a kid house to watch his dad play, and he let me make a druid on a trial account, which blew my little mind! I didn’t really get to play the game until I was in college, because my mother never got us a computer and kicked us outside all the time. But now that I’ve been playing for a few years I made friends (none of which play anymore) and memories I’ll always keep in my screenshots. But I find with each expansion I’m having less fun, friends, and drive to keep up the grind. My server is dead and blizz can’t/won’t fix it (other than tell me to pay to transfer to a different server). I run raids sometimes for over 6 hours and get nothing. I que for Mythic+ after Mythic+ but cant get more than 3 a week because my 397 Ilvl and 1398 M+ score isn’t enough to get into +10 consistently. I have no problem with the sub because Im paid up until April just from farming gold and buying tokens, and still have almost 500k gold. I dont know, am I just playing the wrong game now. I have 3 kids so I cant play like I used too. But my wonderful and amazing Wife always manages to give me a few hours a day for me to play. Again I’m not tryin to be negative, I just really miss the sense of wonder and awe WoW used to give me I guess and want to enjoy it again, but doing what I feel like is a lot and not getting anything other than a sticker and saying " oh well maybe next time" just hurts. I know we get the primal infusions, but that takes 10+ Mythics and I can hardly get 4 done a week it takes forever to get. I don’t know, I just find myself asking why blizzard doesn’t want to give out gear. Is there a set amount they can give out or they’ll run out? Why in a group of 15 people does only 3 pieces of loot drop? What’s wrong with people getting rewarded? I found my self uninstalling classic and diablo this morning because I was frustrated, But when I went over WoW all my memories and all the fun times I had flooded back and it made me not want to uninstall, but its not the same game anymore. Ill try to see if this update helps but I feel it’ll still be the same thing in 2 months. GGs and good luck on vaults!
wall of text crits you for 100k damage
Stop it! You’re making me feel old. I was 20 when WoW launched.
The Trading Post is the last time I try to get back into WoW. I uninstalled the game before I remembered that was coming out so I’ll need to download all 90-something gigs today (bleh).
For me, it’s just burn out. I don’t blame WoW completely. People are saying DF is actually a good xpac and I’m sure they’re right, I just don’t care.
If someone can’t even put in the effort to use paragraphs, why should I put in the effort to read it?
I should also say the things I say i hate this game about is:
Ore disappearing/not able to be mined
the walls being sticky when you dragon ride
disconnecting while dragon riding
WQ be broken/un-doable
TIMEGATING.
In the WoW diary, John Staats says, “MMOs are everything to everyone.” Which I think is true with WoW in many cases but I wish more people saw it as a pass time or break from life’s stresses rather than a requirement.
…why comment
"Moo"ve along
I’ll take ore nodes disappearing on me over having to smack them 4 times for a pittance of materials. What you’re experiencing is the ore node has actually despawned, but has failed to visually disappear from the game until something forces it to update, which is usually somebody trying to mine it.
These two statements don’t add up right
3 kids to take care of but you spend more of your time on WoW than your kids
Did you not read the part where my wife gives me time
Are you sure? I feel like this expansion is downright awful. The story is bad. The reputation grinds are bad. It’s just the same old M+ / PvP grind with a subpar storyline and rep grinds that require doing hundreds of pointless quests.
Honestly, DF is a huge step backwards IMO. Dragonriding and easy PvP gearing are literally the only positive aspects of it.
That’s even worse
You got a family to take care of, this game is the absolute last thing you should be ranting over about
one day for 6 hours?
This is how I figured out that I’m in the same boat. On paper, at least from what we’ve seen so far, DF is a great expansion, and a step in the right direction. But I just can’t find it in me to care about endgame content right now. I logged into Classic and started leveling a hunter, and if the game weren’t so damn dead, I’d be sinking more time into that
I would trade all of my WoW time for a wife and kids, but alas, I have various mental diagnoses, so I’m married to Blizzard and we had to adopt some plants.
LOL so because I get 6 hours on a day my wife and I are off, to do someting for me im not taking care of my family??? What about the other 18 hours?
From BfA and SL? Lol no
Even if that were true those are two pretty big positive aspects.
Dragonriding is the best thing they’ve done for the game since original flying, and it blows that out of the water.
If you’re married with 3 kids WoW is not made for you. Stopping WoW is what you should be doing.
WoW devs shouldn’t care what you have to say. You aren’t the target audience.
When I was playing back in cataclysm the same thing happened. My friends that I grouped with dispersed and I got tired of the dailies trying to unlock the drake from Tol Barad. I finally got the drake and promptly quit right after. I was never going to return but one of my friends begged me to return for BFA. The irony of it all that I’m here now.
