I honestly still don't know what I'm doing in island expeditions

I just run around and click things and fight things until the red bar fills up. It feels like dungeon runs except less structured. I’ve never seen the other faction win either.

Sounds like you know what you’re doing then.

They certainly seem ill thought out. Both and Islands and warfronts feel as if they weren’t fully completed in terms of design - they both feel like instanced world quests.

I don’t even do those it’s like they were trying too hard to add new mechanics to make a fun game but gave up half way

People still do these? I only do them on fresh 120s to spike up the neck level really fast.

I don’t do Island Expeditions, and I don’t even pay attention to my neck.

Are you killing monsters?

You are doing it right.

I’m still trying to unlock mah’dar orcs, and you get reputation for completing the quest.

Island Expeditions can be tricky, I’ll write you a step by step guide on how to succeed in the most efficient manner possible.

Step 1: go to the table and queue for an Island Expedition

Step 2: wait for the queue to pop

Step 3: accept queue

Step 4: wait a few moments to get through the loading screen

Step 5: alt+F4 and find something better to do with your time

I honestly think Island expeditions would have been much better as a solo designed content that you could decide to do as a group if you wanted, then warfronts could have been developed as the group content (and much better designed).

Well for me the biggest problem with both Island Expeditions and Warfronts are that they have nothing to do with PvP in a thematically PvP expansion.

Think about how much more interesting Warfronts would be if there was some level of risk involved. Right now they’re simply incredibly boring ways to gain base level loot.

I thought they had PVP versions to Expeditions? Am I confused? It happens… I’m old and what were we talking about again?

So I take it, you don’t like recolored/skin pets and mounts? I thought everyone loved paying premium prices for copy/paste coding.

When I run them with my wife, we just hunt rares and look for quests. But yeah the whole point is just a race for resources.

I’ve seen the other team win on mythic difficulty, but often times we run normals because it’s less stressful and she’s not very geared.

It’s probably because there’s a lot of people who complain about being forced into pvp when they don’t want to. They wanted the theme but knew that a large portion of the player base couldn’t handle actual pvp so they get AI and NPCs.

They do but for almost all of 8.0 to 8.1 no one did them. Instead people farmed the easy mode because the loot you could get dropped at the same rate.
