I think I am just over raiding

I tried the new raid tonight

→ Raiding is consuming too much time (3 hours a night)
→ New loot system and RNG makes you not get loot, so you have little to show for your time
→ You fight a boss for 5+ minutes, if you wipe you start over etc, it’s really repetitive
→ With M+ being fast and better for both gearing and not being bored, it feels like I am wasting my time spending hours in a raid.

I used to love raiding, I used to raid all day every day(cleared Dragon Soul on 8 toons a week). I don’t know what changed, but I just can’t do it anymore. It isn’t fun.

The only point I really resonate with is the length of boss fights. I am completely fine with 3 and a 1/2 mins to 4.

I don’t need enjoy or want multiple intermissions either

Welcome to the next phase of your wow life! I stopped raiding hardcore years ago and now only do things I find fun (which sometimes includes a one-off raid)

So much more fun not worrying about having a billion consumables or grinding pocket lint for +1 agility

I will enchant your pocket dust for 2000 gold

I will trade you a 12 minute multiphase fight complete with an “enough…!” ending for your agility dust.

u can but there will always be that one severely socially inept guy who thinks he’s funny and cracks jokes no one laughs at, keeps cracking them despite no one laughing, and it just spoils the whole experience

well I think that only happened once back during nyalotha but it remains burned in my memory and im too scared to join another discord for fear of having to endure that again

I saw that correction that’s all I want to say.

I laughed.

Also I might be that guy.

This is what people in the medical business refer to as a wake up call

You just outgrew raiding tbh. Raiding is for teenagers.

Wiping on the same boss all night? Easy pass.

I think that if a fight is going to have an intermission, just make it two fights.

I can lose 10 times in a row. and still get honor. I cna buy someting with honor.

I’d takes wins ofc. then it be 5 or 7 matches to buy it sooner lol.

Same except after attempting Halls Of Valor 9 I’m traumatized by both, might let sub expire

Not raiding anymore is the best decision I ever made. Sometimes I will pop into group finders but that’s it. I’m too old for the regularly scheduled nights.

This is why M+ is better. Low commitment. Can do one or two at a time. You get the same gear, well maybe not mythic raid level gear but haha big no thanks to that.

Wind boss is overtuned

In 2004-5 people were raiding around 5-8 hours.

There was RNG and a loot system before. I wouldn’t be surprised if you whined about that one too.

Awwww. Poor baby lost 5 minutes of his uneventful life.
Seriously, this is some pathetic trolling. Gotta up your game.

Raids are a dying breed content and mythic plus even though it’s faster but you will eventually burn out.

I like raids because there is only so much you can do to a 5 man to make it fresh. At least after a few months I get new bosses.

If they released new Mythic dungeons or swapped in entirely new bosses to current runs, that would please me greatly.
