I’m a 10+ year player who has spent thousands of dollars on this game. Expansions, Character Transfers, items from the shop, and PC purchases or upgrades to keep playing, and I have had a ton of fun in WoW.
However, the sheer lack of effort being put into this game now is beyond mind blowing, and 8.3 is where I personally drew the line. I’m not a raider because I don’t want a full time job after I get home from my full time job. I don’t like pvp anymore. The last fun I had in pvp was Korrak’s Revenge. I played the hell out of that, but regular pvp is not for me.
I was so looking forward to seeing how the new AR DK’s would be brought into the game! The original DK starting zone was amazing! It was full of lore, and the quests were fun! The AR DK’s are brought into the game in a tiny cutscene with no voice work and a few sentences that explain nothing! There is no backstory! There is no reason given as to why more DK’s are needed. Just, “You’re my champion, so go do stuff”.
Next, the 8.3 intro is stupidly designed! Why are we going back and forth to an Cata era instance? Then you go from Uldum to the Vale and back several times! The amount of traveling back and forth is again, pointless! Then we get ANOTHER cloak. Just what everyone wanted.
Then there has been all of the bugs in this patch, a long with daily quests. Really? As if we haven’t been burned out on daily WQ’s for the past two expansions. Do they really think this patch has enough content to last till August at earliest? Blizzard has not listened to feedback, and act as if nothing we have said to them about the direction of this expansion has not mattered. It’s not like listening to your paying customers is suddenly a new concept.
So whatever. I’m out. I already pre-purchased SL, and will give it a shot. I would have hoped all of the sub losses they have had would have taught them to do quality work, but it seems like the game is on maintenance mode at this point. Being made as cheaply with as little content and effort as possible, to maximize profits. But that seems to be where the whole industry is headed now.
So they lost another long term customer. I doubt they care.

A potato could still got you through BfA… You didn’t spend $1000+ on wow alone if you think expenses on a PC is a WoW thing

This is true. You don’t even need a video card for WoW. Most on-board graphics can handle it if you play on “fair” or whatever.
I really need to make a “lm staying” post.
I guess to each their own, but I’m loving the new patch. Sure the DK AR area isn’t the OG DK area, but we have a new lich King, so may e he’s a bit more relaxed. Also the new ones don’t have to gain their self control back.

They may lose me soon too if Shadowlands bombs. We waited 9 months for this patch. 9 months. We waited less long for 8.2 and it had 1/3 the issues.

We waited 9 months for this. I am honestly very upset that we not only waited all this extra time but despite all that extra time the game is in shambles.

Did you also say the same thing with warlords of draenor?

I’ll say it again. You guys sound like beat down girlfriends who just keep going back to the guy who keeps cheating on her.
“I’m going to give this game one more chance! If he doesn’t straighten up by 8.2, I’m gone.”
“Ok, yes he failed 8.2 as well. BUT, Shadowlands is his last chance to keep me. If he doesn’t do a drastic turnaround and fix himself up, I’m leaving him!”
SL might be pretty aesthetically, but if anyone is expecting dramatic change, you’ll likely be disappointed… Pathfinder IS staying… We will have some sort o f new “rent-a-power”, a new AP… etc etc…

Agree 100% OP! I feel like doing the same! Also for the same reasons. Heck, i have not even begun the questline for the patch, because this “Corruption” crud is so lame! Made a VDK, and its sitting in OG.
Just do not ,want to deal with a system that is really only for M+, and raiding, two things i have not done since WOD! The only difference between us, im a 15+ year player thats never unsubbed, ever. As for computer prices being added in, YES that counts, WoW is the ONLY game i play, and i surf the web and watch videos, and thats ALL i have done for the last 15 years of gaming.
A potato wont play the game in ANY acceptable manner with a “Potato”, so yes upgrades WERE a must!
Just do not know when im calling it, but it is soon i would bet.

Like I said I very well might be if Shadowlands flops. This whole expansion was a disaster.

A $500 PC from Walmart can get you the minimum but don’t expect 500 fps at all times
Buying a fancy new rig is one thing but for wow you can literally be ok on a cheap set up
