I told them 10 years ago and they assured me…

Yea $15/mo for a few hours of entertainment a week is not bad. We will never experience the 48hour marathons or 16hrs/day for years we use to as kid. Not because we are not kids anymore, but because wow is complete and utter bad. It’s just exhausting as frick to play, when everything is instant, globals are 1 second with haste and less, no longer 1.5sec and you have to spam your buttons to top meters and beat other players. It’s actually a mind frick how exhausting it is, it should not be like this, long ago the game was about min-max movement, pulling mobs over long arched paths for proper grouping, dead zones, precision of mouse/keyboard, where getting clipped
will result in death. I told them this almost 10 years ago when wod was coming out and they ignored me so I pretty much
quit all of WoD. Quit mop too. They assured me, they were listening to my feedback pre BFA and had great changes coming. That they were reintroducing my vanilla aoe pulls with island expeditions and they assured me the game was moving back to less button spam and more controlled and about skill. It only gets worse every expansion lmao. Game has gone down the drain. But what for? Why? Guess I’m just gonna play casually now. Kinda have given up lol.

If your complaints were this vague ten years ago it’s no wonder they ignored you. Do you just not like how fast-paced the game has become? Do you think there’s too much to keep track of? Because

The game is still like this today, only faster.

This was all lost long ago, lol. Arguably when TBC came out. Vanilla was s tier for this type of play, when TBC came out, everything went to like B tier. Aside, from
The black morass all 120+ at once. Let me know when you find some raid pulls that you can run through the whole raid, gather 20-30 elites as a frost mage and cone of cold them down, otherwise they will 1 shot you. Oh there has to be reward too. Back then we had gold reward, but now gold is meaningless, as you can just get it with a token. Don’t get me started. There are a million and 1 issues wrong. Vanilla WoW was S tier. TBC was like B at best. Everything has slowly trickled down and gotten worse from there! Coming from a frost mage with over 20,000 hours played.

I have to be vague, to write it out in detail seems to do no good for the developers either. Anything you explain to them, they either don’t understand, do the opposite, or just understand it and refuse to implement any of it lol.

Proper AoE farming, with proper rewards died with TBC, as every expansion there are fewer and fewer pulls for this. The closest thing you can find is m+ where a tank has aggro and there will always be stagnant mobs hitting you from ranged, or deaggro strangely. Not hard mechanics from the mage perspective. Compared to vanilla aoe. Vanilla aoe on a frost mage was not even the best part of vanilla, just one of the better memories. Exploring the open world, making friends, kiting dragons, farming mats, leveling professions that actually meant something were the best parts. Now all lost.

You ever see gymnastics footage from the olden days? Where the vault was just a simple jump and front flip? This reminds me of that.

How did you tell them 10 years ago, if you only have 1 year worth of achievements?

It’s okay. Using grammar will not hurt you. I promise you can try grammar and it won’t mess up your life.

You are forgetting how simple can be hard. Look up fax monkey challenges lol. Oh wait, you can’t even do them anymore because that version of the game does not exist. It’s why he no longer does them, the challenges don’t exist anymore. I suggest you read my post above yours and stop trolling like you only have 5000 hours /played in wow, I literally have 20k on 1 mage with multiple mages lol. I’m done replying to replies here, clearly they have no experience at the game or just wanna troll.

The issues are multidimensional and impossible to fix at this point. Countless items that have gone unchecked or forgotten. The game is cooked.

Achievements are account wide, no you don’t.

Perma ban baby and on a phone with the worst auto correct in existence, called an iPhone, it even removed commas and letters where there should be commas and letters. Done replying to this thread. Just gonna let time do its magic.

If this is even true, then you don’t have anything with 20k hours, since perma banned.

Blizz has to love this. People who’ve been telling them for years they need to change, and who still write how much they dislike the game can’t stop paying them.

They even come back after being banned!

Oh don’t be such a baby. I wasn’t impugning the old days of wow. I was making a comparison to the way the complexity of both has increased over the years to such a crazy extent. To where if you showed the modern version to someone of the old days they wouldn’t believe that’s what the future held. There’s a reason I have been a quiet, solitary player for the last 8 years, sticking with the simple stuff.

But sure. Just call it trolling, I guess.

Just another pushing an MMO to be played during a date that is way past what is on its tombstone inscription. I suspect this thing is Audi like TT soon man. Listen up.

If it does not get emergency fixes, it will won’t make it through the next couple of expansions. It will be lucky to last 2027-2028.

$15/month for 10/hrs a month is still a good deal, but the game is dead and casual as frick now. We will never see an MMO we can play for 16/hrs a day for day after day until some company comes along with $3-5B to build a new one.

The current state of the game is good for no more than a few hours a day, it’s too exhausting to play in any other format. No way, will people play it for 48-80 hour marathons like in its golden era. The game is fried, beyond hope, too far gone, just a casual piece now.

I’m easy to please. Just glad that its been $15/mo for 20 years and hasn’t raised the price.

I wish it was $25/mo, no expansions and they just perfected vanilla wows model.

…which is still… playing? Not exactly giving up? Also, if you quit during MoP, you pre-quit WoD… since it came before? Or should I stop trying to make sense of this?

Who did you tell? The screen in front of you? No, no I’m stepping away now…
