There’s no one out in the world unless there’s an assault.
Battle for Nazjatar is rare and when it’s up it’s just shard jumping.
No one talks during island expeditions or dungeons.
Nazjatar is empty.
Call to Arms is just ganking the same 4 people unless it’s Tuesday.
My guild which had 3 raid groups going in Legion and early BfA struggles to get 1 going now.
Premade group finder is just farm groups and spam.
Mechagon is populated but since it’s not the main focus of the patch, it’s not enough to keep people consistently active and engaged.
It genuinely grealy depressess me to think about. Maybe I’m just super burnt out.

Probably gonna be like this 'till 8.3. Possibly even 9.0. BfA was pretty… Eh. More people will likely be back for 8.3.

8.2.5 didn’t add much either. I wouldn’t expect much until the next expansion. Until then… Classic!

There’s blizzcon and the 15th anniversary and hopefully 8.3 that will revive it a bit. But yeah it’s really dead right now.
WoW is in big trouble if 9.0 disappoints.

Queue times are normal. Hopped into a PUG Heroic Eternal Palace and we wiped the floor with the bosses. No, it’s not empty. These chicken little posts used to be funny but now they’re just pathetic. Do you need attention that bad?

I just pugged Operation: Mechagon last night with a fantastic group! We were chill and all helped each other and had a great time! The tank explained everything and answered questions we had, and there was a lot of joking around as well. Fun can still be had in the right group, even this late in the expansion.

My guild is insanely active now. We lost some when classic came out but shortly after players started rushing back in droves. We had one raid team, now we’re sitting on a solid 3 with players waiting on the bench for spots. The zones are pretty active, not start of the expansion active at all times but still highly active.
Things are looking pretty good, OP!

I mean, I don’t know if less players in an MMO is a good thing, but hey, always good to find a silver lining.

I see people out in the world every time I log in - on both factions on both main islands as well as Naz and Mechagon. Maybe it’s your server(s) or shards.

Operation Mechagon was super fun when it was fresh when most people didn’t know it. But you only get to experience that once or twice.

8.2.5 is almost completely void of meaningful content once you’ve done the (surprisingly short) conclusion to the war campaign. You might as well take a break, honestly.

Nothing gained from the current patch that you couldn’t do from just watching the cinematics on youtube. Zero point to play at the moment.

I also feel it came a bit at a cost to the raid content. Blizzard usually ships really large raids with 10-14 boss encounters, and when they don’t it’s because they have an extra raid coming on the following minor patch with a few extra bosses in it.
But it looks like the 8.2.x season will have only 8 bosses in total.
And while you could say quality over quantity, I don’t think the previous raids were low quality, and also a raiding guild is bound together by their raid nights so if the raid is too short those guilds will run out of content fast and get bored.
Don’t forget, borderlands just came out and so did new destiny 2 expansion
Then on 25th, new call of duty
Some people are busy trying those out for sure
Kind of strategic of blizzard to not put out a lot while those three games are launching
Sucks but I’d say that was the thinking behind it

My guild is very active and avid in running PVE. I would love to see some PVP going but as you say the world is quite empty. And so I’ve been running battlegrounds, but that doesn’t complete call to arms for me.
if the last patch is just the raid yea it will be dead after i dont see anything they could add in 8.3 at the end of the expansion.
so from now until 9.0 unless you raid it mite be dead.
