I'm gonna QUIT this GAME

Community General Discussion

Well not quit but I’m gonna not play for awhile I guess. Want to know why don’t you, you dirty boys?

Dragonflight isn’t bad by any means. I’m not gonna throw a huge fit over the same stuff repeated over and over on these forums.

Flying with dragons? Cool, it’s different, but I like it. Got used to it, no problem, I’d say it’s a huge improvement.

Class talents? I think overall a win, although I would have liked to see more new abilities or new possibilities for different playstyles. In some ways you’re still forced to pick up a lot of abilities, giving the impression of an illusion of choice rather than pure choice. It’s better than before though, it’s just that everything feels samey from SL. I wanted more cool new buttons to press, more cool new animations or updated animations for existing stuff. Or even glyphs that would let us use old animations for abilities that some of us may like better, such as green dragonhead Chaos Bolt.

One of my main issues I have is timegating. The fact that everything is so heavily timegated just means it’s the same old Blizz doing the same old tactic to keep hamsters on that treadmill. Honestly, I think I’m just at a point in my life where I refuse to be a hamster anymore. More power to you if you enjoy that, but for me, I’d rather not be limited by systems created out of greed.

Systems? Ironically we have less systems now, sure, but I feel like the rep grinds and levels are convoluted and even the crafting is convoluted and now one of my least favorite things in the game. In a way you just replaced the previous systems with these, and it STILL feels like a chore or a job.

But on to my last point and the main reason I will stop playing for awhile: the theme and overall feel.

Don’t get me wrong, I love dragons. But I just hate how Blizz is seemingly moving more and more towards Disney-level cringe. Everywhere you go in this game, it’s starting to feel like it’s marketed for a younger and younger audience, while I am only getting older and older.

I don’t WANT to go pick up ducks or tidy up some NPC’s shop

I don’t WANT to do dragon racing with an overwhelmingly corny soundtrack slapped on it

I don’t WANT to help some NPC go give flowers or whatever to some other NPC.

I could keep going for days. I don’t want to do any of those things, I want to use my character to go fight stuff, use cool spells (that we need more of) and fight. I LOVE to fight stuff. That’s why I play this game. I don’t play this game to do literal in-game chores. Combine that with the theme and… it’s just got this overwhelmingly baby-like feel like I’m playing some Y rated children’s game.

That pretty much sums it up for me. I guess I don’t find all these lame quests fun, I want to fight more but it feels like you help NPC’s through relationships now more than fight. And the art-style just feels overwhelmingly Disney. Like, ew.

Guess it’s not my cup of tea anymore.

P.S. dragons are supposed to be awesome and scary. What we got as a playable character is NOT any of those things. It’s gross.

Behind renown too. Locking main campaign quests behind renown rep grinds is ridiculous battle pass logic that just doesn’t give us any reward for our time. Plus they expect you to not only do this behind one renown rep group, they want you to max renown for 4 groups. It’s overkill.

I don’t. I left this here in hopes that this, my feedback as a player, helps someone or is seen by someone who is interested in it.

If you’re not interested in it, not sure why you’re in this thread, commenting on this post?

I think the better question is, why do YOU feel the need to reply to this post?

It’s 100% more likely that you’re a jaded old fart than it is that Blizzard is designing a game for kids, 99% of whom are gaming on a console or on their phones and think games like WoW are for lame old farts like us.

Nope, they can do whatever they want? I have no control over the direction of the game or what you like or prefer.

All I can do is move on to something I like better. Why does my opinion offend you?

I mean you seem to be complaining about a very small handful of side quests that you literally did not even have to do, but also, what do you mean WoW is “becoming” more marketed to children?

Do you not remember all the poop joke quests from vanilla/TBC? It’s always been peak silly in some of the side quests around here …

Damn, people take this game too seriously when they feel like they need to justify quitting a video game.

It’s a game; play it if you enjoy it, or don’t play if you don’t enjoy it. It’s not that complicated.

It doesn’t.
You didn’t even explain what you mean by “Disney level cringe”, I certainly don’t remember anyone bursting out into a musical bit and dancing everywhere as a crowd. Is it the art style? Have you read any dialog? WoW is a bit more mature than people think if you actually know what’s happening.

I don’t understand why you have to tell the community of this news.
