Lfg empty since classic launch

[Potemkín-kelthuzad]

seeing as how you havent ever done a mythic raid boss or a mythic plus dungeon tells me you havent ever tried the challenging content in bfa.

you have no idea what you are talking about

[Blasco-area-52 (Blasco)]

Idk, being able to buy a boost and queue up for LFR makes the content just mind numbingly simple, as it has to be catored to the lowest common denominator.

Then that new player is like “cool I killed Azshara what next?”

“Kill her again Billy, this time on normal. Then again on heroic. Then again on mythic.”

Billy “no thanks”, unsubs, goes to play fortnite…

This is exactly the problem with retail. You couldn’t have described it better.

The game does not promote a sustainable fanbase. Instead, it promotes tourism.

[Humanìty-area-52]

Oh darling, if no one is playing then its hurting. The people who are doing high end content will be the last to leave because they have invested too much into the game and it would suck to lose that investment.

You know way back in the wall of No days I was totally against classic and predicted this outcome. At 1st classic will be super popular and blizzard will focus on it and not on retail however in about a year classic will start losing players and retail will not be able to bring them back…hurting the wow ip overall

I think people will lose interest in classic a lot sooner depending on what faction / realm they are.

Since there is no server xfer when a faction starts to die out on a server it will snowball

[Humanìty-area-52]

I’m not going to pretend that i know what guilds are like on your server, but on Area 52, guilds are spamming chat constantly. And you probably don’t want to be in a guild that requires achievements anyways? Asking for logs or proof of some sort of experience is one thing. But achieves? F that.

Go to your realms forum and let people know you’re looking for a new guild. Go to wowprogress and see who’s recruiting and send them a msg. Unless your realm is dead, you shouldn’t have a problem finding an active guild.

Guilds are spamming chat Becuase they don’t have a roster to raid with lol.

My guild fell apart and called it off the week classic launched. Not enough raiders

[Crowlay-icecrown (Crowlay)]

Based on personal experience the title of this thread is untrue. I have the mythic plus caches to prove it.

[Stupid-blackrock]

please elaborate.

Class depth is SUUUUPER boring

RPG element is dead

Constant artificial grinds like artifacts

PvP vendors non existent, a majority of arena players only play wow for pvp content, having to do 60-70 hours of m+ to q arenas is absolutely disgusting

Community is entirely dead because of things like lfg,sharding, and the fact that there’s 200 + realms when only 7 for each faction have a non singleplayer population

Elite armor sets and glad mounts this xpac were done with ZERO effort

[Echab-zuljin]

I popped into retail last night to do some emissary runs and holy cow was it dead. Both Zandalaar and Natzjatar were areas that use to be filled with people but not anymore. And this was on a friday night on Vuljin, a full server. Then I pop into classic and there is a two minute que to get into Bloodsail, a RP server. People can deny it and claim “no facts” all they want, but it doesn’t take rocket science to see whats going on with WOW

[Zeusgodofsky-thrall (Zeusgodofsky)]

I don’t know about your server but LFG has always been empty for me most players don’t do raids or dungeons anyways this means nothing at all. And with world quests and the benethic system also some world bosses and events there is no reason to ever do hard instance content out all imho.

[Sarcof-icecrown]

There is no evidence that “no one is playing”. Last night I saw people playing.

Fewer, no question. But “no one” is false.

When you have to resort to parsing words to defend your position then perhaps it is time to re-examine your initial premise.

[Grimthar-illidan (Grimthar)]

They need to merge more servers together for premade group finder.

[Tormento-goldrinn (Tormento)]

I queued for specific dungeons this weekend to unluck my kul tirans and didn’t wait more than 5 minutes.

[Cynthesia-wyrmrest-accord (Cynthesia)]

I can’t find groups any more that run old raids for transmog

[Wuzeh-wyrmrest-accord]

Provide one example, liar.

[Tetracain-area-52]

Given the context of the post i was replying to, your statement doesn’t hold water. Players can’t find guilds, but guilds can’t find raiders? Seems to me, again given the context of conversation i was having with the other poster, that the issue is more an issue of having to many dead realms and little recourse for players to move to more populated realms without paying money.

[Spiçy-area-52 (Spiçy)]

i played classic for a solid 5 years its not that good lol.

At first I thought your comments were a desperate attempt to invalidate others enjoyment in something. Almost as if you are taken back as to how popular it is

But this comment really made me laugh. Who the hell plays something for 5 years if they don’t think it’s good?

[Thornado-incendius]

retail sucks bro and there is still a year of it left…rip.

[Nelluced-proudmoore]

8+ hours making a group sounds like classic. Guess blizzard is bleeding classic design into retail.

[Nelluced-proudmoore]

It could have been the best at the time and you think retail is better (as is the case with me). I’m shocked it’s popular as well, but if people like it more power to them.

[Spiçy-area-52 (Spiçy)]

There are plenty of games I would never touch again that I put years into that I would never say are bad. I’ve just moved on. I don’t need to justify it by pretending I didn’t have fun

Also I’m not at all surprised it’s popular. It’s actually opened my eyes to how much the game has changed and how much has been removed. Some good, some bad, but it’s a lot

[Waidmann-gilneas (Waidmann)]

hmm, okay yeah i agree with these reason.

i feel like vanilla lacks any sort of end game.

currently outside of raiding, profession and rep grinds there isnt much to do.

You just described every expansion including BfA except professions which pretty much have lost all their meaning in retail.
