Is everyone else quitting the game?

Lots of big streamers quit playing. It is because LFG isn’t enough. We need an advanced queue system for rated and mythic content, or just change the gearing system from the ground up.

Quick Match is a success. I’d just add rating to that.

Stop splitting the player base.

People are quitting for a lot of reasons here are a few.

  1. No tier sets

  2. Content is uninspired

  3. Borrowed power

  4. Grinds, yes grinds are a part of mmos and a good grind can be fun. A grind with rng or grinding to grind something else is not.

  5. That lawsuit

  6. Class balance

  7. Not alt friendly

  8. Their favorite streamer left

While I do watch some streamers I don’t seem streamers important. However I do understand that they get and have a following and attract people to the game and if they leave people will follow.

Now as far as lfg for mythics and higher raiding or pvp. Sounds great but it wouldn’t be implemented correctly and you will queue for a +15 and get an undergeared character like this dk I’m posting on.

There’s too many barriers between catching up and current content.

It’s as simple as that.

Instead of a gear bloat in BFA we just got a system bloat in SLs.

Go figure.

All that, different types of currency, doesn’t help.

Unsubbed because I’m over grinding stuff being made pointless every patch cycle.

Even gear, all that work… Gone as soon as the next xpac hits. You can spend 100’s of hours making it perfect, eventually it will just be vendor trash, or an outdated enchanting crystal.

Coupled with this whole boost culture (in-game player run services) it’s just not an environment I feel like spending my time in.

The game has become too p2w for my liking.

Streamers are a tiny minority. Lots of people are quitting the game for a variety of reasons though. Wasting time waiting for a group is indeed one of them. And I would propose that Ion has no idea how to design a gearing system for any part of the playerbase.

Why I’m quitting:
I’m not quitting I’m just following whatever my boyfriend plays

Instead of mythic raiding, my boyfriend plays single player games.

Mine loved m+ but got burnt out
Now we lose our sanity in LoL instead

I’m too busy platinum’ing all the Kingdom Hearts games, you know, REAL work for gaming.

There’s not a chance in hell any boss or activity I’ve dealt with in Warcraft is as unfair as a few select bosses in Kingdom Hearts anyway.

You’re brilliant. If they combined, valor, honor, conquest, soul ash, soul cinders, stygia, and catalog research the game would be more playable.

Shadowlands is simply too alt unfriendly. That is the number one issue with the game right now.

The lawsuit is probably the 2nd biggest reason.

Seasonal content is abhorrent game design for an MMORPG in my opinion. Having all your hard work completely invalidated in the next patch just begs the question: “Why am I even wasting my time on this game right now?” That’s always in the back of your mind. Atleast until the final patch is out.

I haven’t the slightest clue as to what Blizzard can do to change this. I don’t want seasonal content, but I also don’t want to have run old raids to get caught up.

This is an interesting choice of words given you also want…

However i would like to point out that in my experience very few players are as good as they think they are and regardless of how good they might be as an individual, teams take time to build and time to gel. Gear can only do so much for a player and thus it can only be held accountable so much.

I have 1 of each class. I’m doing +8s now (on tanks), and I’m 1400 on my druid as healer and guardian.

that’s all I could accomplish with 12 characters that I catered to. They’re only 213-221 ilvl.

Yeah I’d have to agree with you and say the game is in-fact alt un-friendly, because people with 4 characters are 247 ilvl and people with 1 character are 252.

maybe Sw:kotor - I just paid a membership for that, last time I stopped playing WoW due to the game so, it can happen again. :slight_smile:

Has anyone made a new toon recently? Were the starting areas populated or completely dead?

Pretty much the turning point was the nerf to hunters.

Hunters were the most played spec last tier and after 2 months of being unplayable alot of them and their friends left.

This led to chain effect of guilds disbanding and streamers losing viewers.

I’m not quitting, just going harder into TBC at least until the smoke clears. Korthian gear is garbage and I’m not impressed with most of the daily tasks I just do weeklies and callings if it’s rep I want other than that I’m kind of down on retail but TBC is picking up the slack nicely.

Not alt friendly , m+ loot obliterated just to appease a few mythic hardcore raiders . I’ve had 2 items drop after about 15 m+ runs , both helms , so much for your “smart “ loot system .

I’m tired of having 2 jobs… WoW being the other one.
