They are instancing EVERYTHING in the game. Truthfully everything. Because instancing is much easier to develop and maintain. Arenas are exactly what they want everyone to do…because there is no maintenance involved in arenas. They are a fire and forget tool.
Prove this. WoW has not released sub numbers in years.

Feeling much the same these days. The only thing to strive for is heritage armor lately.

Why dont you just search the forums and find it. Someone posted about it a while back.
Also, really tired of lazy people thinking a rebuttal is a two word reply.
But is it? I don’t know about you, but I’m well over 400 ilvl, and I haven’t stepped foot in the mythic version of the raid yet. If anything I’m able to spend less time playing and still able to keep up.
Search the forums for someones post on a streamer who is guessing? No thanks.
Why put a wall of text that is unnecessary up? Do you really need anyone to elaborate more than a question… sorry. Being more concise in a post is not a bad thing. Saves time of reading through text that is not needed.
The “Wash, Rinse and Repeat As Needed” game model is older than dirt.
Sorry, that’s a huge problem. So you’re saying you can get really good gear and not have to do anything hard to get it? And in less time? Sounds exhilarating. You are the guy that can’t get past level 30 in vanilla before saying “this game sucks”. EDIT: Not justifying this mythic dungeon BS… that’s a flawed system and I could go on about that too.
And you don’t find anything wrong with this? I know the game has to evolve, but to just throw gear at people (not saying a M+15 is easy) is not the way it should be. I personally don’t think gear outside of raiding should be the quality of a heroic raid.

I am, there’s no way I’ll be playing classic. That being said, I don’t know why you bring this up. What I said was in direct response to one of your points, yet you don’t address that.
Agreed. There’s no order to gear value anymore…
Used to be regular dungeons, heroic dungeons, and then after some crafting, you could step into the easiest raid, then the harder ones as your gear progressed.

Those are separate. The mobile Diablo thing is NOT “Diablo 4.”
As far as gear and transmog, I think it could actually fix there being no reason to “level” with max level being everything.
Do you know those earlier quest lines, the ones people do while leveling? The problem is that those are for junk you usually throw away. What if they were for some cool mogs, especially as sets? There would be real reasons to go through old zones and level (or even to just do the quests, as a higher level character, for the mogs.)
I also agree that even though there are no tier “sets” at the higher levels, in BFA, that those items should appear as “sets” on the character. They should like one way for a DK, another for a Paladin.
Your player reputation point is also interesting. Yes, no one is really accountable now in LFG/LFR. However, you also don’t mention the BAD parts of “server rep.” Though a player who was a total jerk, ninja’d or whatever, would get a bad rep it also meant that good players could be reamed by jerks. I actually remember, how on the very old forums, people would lament that a guild/people could just not like you and basically ruin you on a server; A believable scenario was the poor girl friend, who left someone in the guild(often the Guild Master), then was more or less ruined on that server. The person basically had to transfer servers, where sometimes people would actually bother to follow them and ruin them again.
What wall of text?
The Problem with BfA is that the game feels like a shell of what it once was, all for inclusion. It’s frigin BORING!!!

Interesting idea, but it still nullifies any reason to level. The goal would still be to get to max level as quick as possible, then go back for less important reasons (Like mogs etc).
The gear you get from leveling is eventually junk, yes, but if its an upgrade from what you had when you were level 15 and you’re now level 18, it feels good to get! Then the cycle continues! RPG!
Wow is losing fans?
Also I love how everyone thinks that since someone joined the game in recent xpacs that means their opinions don’t matter.
WoD was 5 years ago. If someone joined for that they have dedicated 5 years of their life to the game. That’s not a rookie. Just because you may have joined sooner doesn’t make you any more valid than them.
Heck someone who joined for BFA’s opinion matters just as much as anyone else’s.

Just stating a fact in general. How many OPs out there give us a novel when a paragraph would do? How many times do you see people asking for a summary because they couldn’t be bothered to read a wall of text.
You stated a point, I asked for proof. You tell me to find a forum post as an answer, when the fact remains, they haven’t released sub numbers in years so no one can prove what you are saying. So I answered in two sentences, not like this useless post I am making to respond to something you stated. Everything I am typing here was done in those 2 lines.
WoW belongs to Blizzard. It’s not your game. It’s theirs. They will change whatever they want no matter how long it has been in the game.
Hmmm… come to think of it, that’s probably a really good way to drive away customers…

That… That doesn’t sound right… At all…
Yeah, this is kind of the thing the more simple players dont understand when they respond with “Oh, i thought you did it because you like the sense of achievement and that’s why you raid”
And that’s true, but its only PART of why we do it. We are allowed to not be one dimensional (unlike…) and do something for multiple reasons. Along with a sense of achievement, gear can be another. Along those lines, mythic mog. Titles, cheeves, specific in-raid mounts whether CE or drops, playing with friends…
High end raiding also requires time though. Research, practice and raiding mats require either time or gold. High end raiding is a carefully considered commitment for us.
And if there aren’t enough COMBINATIONS OF motivators/rewards, a lot of us won’t put the time into raiding and will just stick to heroic and m+.
Blizzard has hit high end raiders with multitudes of low blows in BFA, I’d argue we are the heaviest hit population in the game.
And they’re seeing the consequences of such mistakes.
