No expac has zero issues, but I’m having fun again. I am way behind most of you, having not gotten my main to max yet because I started late and play slow. I started late because I just couldn’t play after Shadowlands, which was such a disappointment.
This expac is redemptive. It recaptures the charm of earlier expacs. I am not great at dragon riding but it IS fun. I die pretty often but that is on me and my old and slow fingers; I can still play if I am patient . The world is GORGEOUS and fun to explore. The story has been interesting thus far. Most of all, I just WANT to play. I really look forward to it in a way I haven’t since MoP. And there are rewards for playing! No more grim grinding for a possible shot at maybe a reward.
I know numbers might be down but this is, I think, the result of the previous expac being bad after BfA was a very mixed bag. I hope Blizz will keep striving to make expacs this good. I think players will come back if they keep respecting player time and keep making game-play feel rewarding.
Thank you, Blizzard. I can tell you didn’t phone it in and that you wanted to make a game that rocks. After some hard times for all of us, this is a dragon-breath of fresh air.
