Is WoW too Bloated and/or complicated?

Tree’s be tinking often dat da world needs to be less complicated. People should not be needen so many resources to do tings. Should just be able to easily understand da world, from within da world.

It is definitely bloated. They have crammed so much stuff into the game to keep you in wow and nothing else. Gone are the days where you’d finish up dailies and be able to play another game with your free time. Blizzard, how can we miss you if you won’t go away?

Imagine if you couldn’t reach max level until the expansion is over. That’s what crafting feels like right now.

I have. Took them like 10 minutes to understand the crafting system and about 2 mins to understand the vault. You would have to have the competence of a 6 yo to not understand WoW

Except that’s nonsense. People have been crafting everything in the game since the first month.

Nope, no more than it needs to be to be functional

This expansion has gotten a bit … overenthusiastic… with harvest materials.
I accept that every expansion will have new area-specific cloth/fish/ores and herbs for expansion-specific recipes.
But the quality thing. 2-3 versions of the same ore/herb … :frowning:
I think it would have been better if there were a way to refine low quality herbs/ores into better quality.
Or give us an 80-100 slot reagent bag.
reagent bags should be HUGE!

You’ve got a point there. I’m full of crap most of the time and I’m still functional. After I fill the toilet and flush, however, I’m even more functional. And relieved.

There is…

If you’re still playing the game the odds are you’re fine with how the game is running. If you talk to people who quit wow then you’ll get a very different answer.

I think the game is bloated and it’s a sign the game has been running for a long time. Blizzard release a raid then a new content patch comes out and all of the sudden everything before that is pretty obsolete. I don’t think the game is “complicated” but when it comes to raid encounters then yes, some encounters are just way over the top.

I’ve grown bored with wow since the launch of DF and I played a couple of times every week if even that. I didn’t expect much to change with 10.1 and it didn’t. I have little desire to play the game as it stands.

Perhaps legacy reps should be easier to farm, like legacy raids. Mounts, pets and other collectables should probably have a better organization system…

For example, your mount collection could have tabs for dragons, mechanical, etc. Or perhaps collections and the mats tab in our bank should be broken into sections for each expansion? No? Not sure the best way to do it, but something to make it feel like bite sized pieces again would be nice.

Then I don’t understand why we are still harvesting more than1 one quality of each resource.

Just make the refinement process cheaper or more productive to reflect improvement.

Probably because the crafting was designed in a vacuum, by somebody who’s never actually played WoW and just ran tests on a character with bags that were otherwise empty.

I’ll never understand why ppl think WoW is complicated. It’s as mainstream as MMO’s get. Try to do transmog or crafting in FF14 and then tell me with a straight face that WoW is complicated.

This game has always been bloated and overly complicated. That was part of its charm back in the beginning. Unfortunately, they’ve used that strategy (crutch) in EVERY expansion since the beginning; so, now what we have is complete chaos and garbage. Its become very exhausting.

In SLs there was stories of returning players just logging off after being told what the requirements where to getting raid ready.

We’re slowly slipping back into that curve…it isn’t as bad but Blizzard are walking that same road.

That happened to my partner. Logged in, got confused, did some old content farms, then logged off. Has barely touched most of the expansion besides the (VERY easy to understand) 10.0.7 island.

My bag contents say it’s too complicated. They’re full of garbage and cleaning them out is a regular chore, yet I still hear “your inventory is full”.

Neither the confusion was done on purpose.What better way to keep you playing than to read an instruction that make no sense and fails to give good directions.
