8 days left on my sub and I’m not going to renew it for a while.^^
Pretty boring and lackluster so far.

If anything is delusional, it’s these takes.
The world of WoW felt lived-in and fleshed out in the past, with a cohesive story and style. The Warcraft style. The game was immersive, the story made sense within its own context, and everything felt rewarding and within reach. This is what people generally mean by Blizzard Polish.
Potentially surprisingly, it’s completely separate from whatever release schedule they might have had twenty years ago (aka a non-existent one, considering at the time the game just came out 
), or how stable servers may be during an active recession.
Give me a break, dude.

Take a break. I’m getting re acquainted with stardew Valley, valheim, And some new games.
The worst thing you could possibly do is to play something out of habit.

My sub runs out in roughly 2 weeks. It was fun when I started but I’m feeling the same way as I did in BFA and Shadowlands after two months. The content is just not for me anymore. M+ was the last thing keeping me going and I just got tired of the affixes and the go go go mentality. I had a 17 shadowmoon and didn’t even bother to do it this week or any M+. I hope others are enjoying the game still but I can’t bring myself to log in anymore. I played HOTS Arams more than I have WoW this month.

That is rose-tint. Or are you ignoring how that exact same “polished” content and community evaporated the minute that modern player base hit it?
So the amount of content, the pace at which it released, the balance, the stability of the game or the lack of max level content outside of raiding has no bearing on the polish of the game? Ok.
Personally, I don’t grind anything. I log in and do what I wish and log out. I don’t actually care about BIS, AOTC, or KSM. Sometimes I might not log in for a few weeks. Sometimes I log in every day.

The modern playerbase did not hand the keys to the castle to Activision. Also, who said anything about community?
Correct. A good book could be bound with tree bark and snot, but it would still be a good book.

The more you post, the more you just confirm the rose-tint. WoW won’t be “great” again because you really have just forgotten the problems that have always been here.
Yes. We need to discuss how vigor for Dragonriding needs to be disabled everywhere except for the races and how all old world flying needs to be replaced with Dragonriding.
As it stands right now, the vigor and restrictions on what mounts can be used are limiting factors that reduce fun for no reason.

Take a break and play some other games. You don’t have to play one game your entire life.

I did before. Then I realized something. This is a game and I don’t have to be here. Rolled out for 4 or 5 years,
Came back. Chilled for like (how long has it been?) 4 months now? Then I realized I play the forums more than the game.
My game time should be up any day now. Probably sometime today. or tomorrow.
Take a break, duder.
I’ve been grinding out Allied Races. It’s pretty fun.

I’m playing other games and I’d have to say I enjoy the fact that there are MMOs that do one thing better than WoW and that is custom content.
Like players making a race game for ladder stuff, gold, and achievements.
Players making custom sport events. Remember how you could make custom StarCraft and Warcraft maps like soccer, tower defense, bejeweled, and survival modes.
Add a custom dimension to the game. Release only the approved ones of course. But here’s limitless free content with no money wasted on development.
It’s no different than them approving RIO or taking addons into the game over the base mode.
Saan’s tower of Babel map (parkour), etc.
Yep. I miss the old Blizzard. “When it’s done.” And the quality we got from that mindset is missed so much.

I never get the point of these posts. Are you hoping we all cheer you on and agree so you don’t feel bad for quitting?
Are you hoping a wow dev reads your I quit post and is stricken by grief over losing your business?
Part of that is weak additions, even if they had good ideas, the implementation was poor. The other part is that players don’t give new mmorpgs time to breathe before doing a direct comparison to WoW.
Warhammer Age of Reckoning was really really good for a base game, but they listened to the playerbase instead of data for nerfs and buffs. This led to some insane power shifts. They also needed bigger areas for pvp.
Unfortunately, this philosophy doesn’t mesh with 21st Century capitalism. I’ve seen it disappear from many companies that strove for quality first.

If I had done no PvP content, and the only PvE content I had done was LFR and a +3 COS I’d be getting bored too. You get out of the game what you put into it.

I’m definitely slowing down. There’s not much to do outside of Raiding and M+ (which was the point) so I find I don’t bother logging on as much. Luckily Destiny 2’s new x-pac is coming out next week
