So you feel that the game would be improved if the people who don’t do m+ or raid just quit? I’m not sure the game can financially survive without that population.
It’s a sign of how games are developed now. 10 years ago most AAA games were made by people who loved video games and had integrity. Now, most games are made as a live service to maximize profit first and then they build a half baked story around it.
Sounds like you just might not like video games if you are constantly taking breaks. I play golf and I never want to take a break from it. Same with video games. If it’s a hobby you truly love why would you need to take breaks?
The game I love to play just happens to be an MMO. There is no RTS game that I know of that comes close to the open world multi challenge nature of WoW.
And here is another fact. If all the solo players left, there would not be enough subscription money to keep the lights on. You wouldn’t have a game to play. At least not one with the level of support and the frequency of expansions and seasons that you are seeing now.
If you found something you enjoy, then good 
I got bored of the season a while ago, so went back to BG3 (masterpiece), space marine 2 and a couple private areas that Blizz wouldn’t like. Breaks are good.
Funny how some private devs are cooking way harder than Blizz devs tbh and with way more passion, put the joy back into WoW for me again while I wait for 11.1
Either way, have a good time

Are you being serious right now? I guess you play the same hole every day. Going to new content and games does not mean I’m bored but I have multiple tastes. Not that a person that just admitted to playing the same 18 holes forever would know about that heh.

Well, WoW is a theme park style of MMORPG, there just isn’t enough “meaningful”(heavy quotation marks here) content to keep people engaged for long stretches of time compared to a more Sandboxy approach like Runescape.
It’s objective driven, once you get your “AotCs” and/or “KSMs”, you kinda just drift out until the next Season comes out and you can do it all over again.

well, my alternative MMO was New World. Installed it, realized there were changes made like infinite ammo/ no ammo crafting. Gear is infinite and dosent require repairs/never breaks. I was going to change the name of my character and the only option I have is to start a whole new fresh character from scratch (and thats not going to happen after sinking 450 hard grinding hours into it).
I figured if im going to have pretty well infinite everything might as well go back to World of Warcraft. Uninstalled New World on the spot, now im back here looking at this game again.
Like I said, I got heavy into the Arathi storylines/quest lines, it took me about one full day off work to finish everything in the zone and now there is nothing left to do other than wait for a new daily WQ to pop up.
Yee…hawe…

and then they add a challenge and progress system and you complain about that being to hard or too long. … its people like this that are the problem with the game… i can only feel for the devs trying to figure out what to do with these people who will never be happy and have no idea what good gaming even is but still complain about it every day.
It’s as simple as that. People things this is some sort of life long contract they gotten and are heart broken when game turns not fun anymore.
I do get nostalgia but I also understand that sometimes it’s time to rip out the rose tinted glasses and move on
Like this guy over here. Live service is dying as we speak but they are stuck on the idea and got a spout their nonsense.
Because I can’t fathom paying for something I don’t like suddenly I don’t like vidja gaems. Heh no I play the game get my fun and try other stuff.
Monster hunter wilds is coming in a few weeks. Guess what I’m going to be doing?
If you guessed “ignore the new wow season and play wilds first” you thought wrong I’ll play both and once I’m done with one I’ll play the other till I’m done with that one. Amazing right? It’s like people can pick different things with time or something
Take 2 or 3 hours a day
I know how you feel
Too long hours and every days. Feeling so tired and bored.
Well until you posted that old gif I would have thought it funny too.
But he’s right about you. You are indisputably Personally offended, emotionally compromised.
Oh and hey? No, is not nostalgia, Rose glasses, or any other bull. The game and especially the genre as a while used to be so much more magnificent. Especially socially and progression wise.
I’d say you’re wrong but you wouldn’t listen, you have your mind made up and head buried in the sand.
100% is
Twenty years is a long time and the genre isn’t new anymore. Times change and people change. You’re just blinded by nostalgia.
This is why I wish I could lvl sync the whole world to 80 if I wished. There is so much content in the game that is left on the table because it is way too boring to go to old content and one shot everything.
There is a lot of lore and quest lines out there that are great but super boring to do now since I just auto attack everything to death.
I don’t have this problem in ESO, when I want to experience something in another area, I can without feeling way too OP.

if every part of the game lvl sync’d and all of the world quest rewards were at their original status and not reduced by 95% i think it would give the game a lot more playability. hell man, id love to drop back into shadowlands or BfA when things are slow and just bang out some old world quests. but right now its like 20gold reward for a world quest, the gear drops are about 200 ilvls behind and like you said, you can pretty well auto-shot everything to death.
i wouldn’t even mind and going back to those mission tables and just spinning up some work on those, but like i said, everything is nerfed to death and made irrelevant.

It’s about the game, yes the variation from course to course can be fun but you think anyone that plays Tennis, Football, heck, any sport or hobby doesn’t know what they are talking about? That’s a weird thing to say.
That just proves to me that Blizzard is in a bad way. Instead of building on group content and creating compelling open world activities they water everything down trying to make a game for everyone. If all the solo players left, the game would be far better. Less layers, more open world players and people that actually want to play an MMO.
The main concern I have is that Blizzard is making short sighted decisions to support single player content to retain subs which is having a long term effect of making the game worse.
Blizzard made participation in the MMO genre explode and they dominated the market for a decade plus precisely because they made a game for everyone, including solo players.
