I think they need to up the difficulty of this game. Went from new toon to full portals/AOTC in a week

Quit playing already. Save your money and unsub!

Also, you got carried so a weird flex of sorts.

you forgot to mention the part where you don’t have a job and played 16 hours a day OP.

You want hard, there’s plenty of dumb Soulsbourne games out there.

I feel like this thread gets posted every month.

Some guy gets a new char carried by friends and than humble brags about how easy it was.

tl;dr Game is easy because I got carried.

Dude, everything is easy when you have someone else do the work for you.

Harvard President Claudine Gay, is that you?

Problem is, there are not enough of the elite super players subscribed to this game to keep the lights on at Blizzard. Do that and you will lose massive numbers of people on the bottom who if they get stuck on one quest they are dead in the water.

It would be a terrible idea.

The issue imo is largely in part to the gearing changes. WoW has always been built in such a way that as you gear up the content becomes easier. That alongside rolling nerfs over time make it so people can clear content that aren’t always directly relating to skill but instead just means you aren’t in questing greens anymore.

I much prefer Guild Wars 2’s style where you get your gear once then do the new content, but the issue with that is that a majority of players can’t do even semi challenging content due to the complexity of the combat system, so they have to make a majority of content easy mode. So both vertical and horizontal progression game styles have their unique issues.

With WoW as it is now though, making it so you can be in full near bis this easy in a vertical progression game means the challenge has shifted to higher and higher levels of content compared to in the past since power progression was timegated.

That and the tuning of the dungeons feels very weird. It goes from “everything is fine” to “well that just one shots you now” pretty sharply at a higher level key than before. I think that has to do with them trying to bring old dungeons into current design but that’s a whole other ball of thread to unravel.

Lowkey honestly I went from having never played blood to 2700 in the span of about 16 days.
Lots of the specs and content nowadays are stupid easy lol

I agree, they are all similiar once you keybind them. Also knowing the dungeons is 80% of it so if you have done the dungeons already its easy to climb fast.

There’s definitely new things you learn roughly every 5 keystone levels, whether it’s mechanics you could safely ignore or routes that favour easier trash over harder trash that you thought was easy until you got to higher keys.

I don’t think raids have really changed that much in 10 years or so, though. Heroic is still fairly easy for your above average player and mythic still throws the occasional 200-400 pull boss at you.

It’s really just keys, and this season we’re benefiting from very loose timers which on top of nerfed or removed affixes mean that any mistakes you do make in <21 keys can largely be unnoticed or not punishing, meaning players can “fail upwards” so to speak.

I think that was Sick Boy, not Begbie - Begbie was the one who got drunk and violent.

“That lassie got glassed, and no grunt leaves here til I find 'oot what grunt diddit!”

I challenge you to get bad at this game.

Lol. OP tries to sound elitist by saying the game is too easy but gets owned and called out for getting carried the entire way. Thank you for digging this up and thank you Warcraft Logs for ensuring that poor performance generally can’t be lied about.

“Games easy, ignore the fact I was carried.” More news at 11…

Usually I’m not a fan of stalking people to attack their posts, but i really do get a bit of that sweet satisfaction out of seeing someone cop it like this :joy:

Just to be clear, I’m a very average player and stalking me would definitely demonstrate this, but you’d never catch me saying anything remotely elitist or uppity here lol

yeah well the kids with short attention spans like finishing things fast.

This is fair, but replace friend with gold/paid run and you get the same effect.
