Most of the SOD changes (and lack of changes) are negative ones when you weight the positives vs negatives

The only good things of SOD are:

  • More classes that can tank, warriors don’t monopolize tanking anymore
  • Changes to classes like Shaman and Druid that needed them

The bad things:

  • Raids that make all the other content of the game irrelevant (besides IMO raiding is an obsolete game mode that needs to disappear, nobody has the time to coordinate 10+ people anymore)
  • You couldn’t make it so prot warrior is actually the best spec to tank for warriors
  • No double specialization
  • Mounts are more expensive
  • Buffed classes that had no business being buffed like Warlock
  • As a consequence of said idiocy the damage is way too high and broke the “balance” that the game had
  • Leveling is still a dog :poop: experience, is boring and is not rewarding at all, its better to spam dungeons, there is nothing new to the leveling experience, nothing that makes the game more fun to play you could have taken a hint to what GW2 did years ago with the leveling since you like to steal their ideas soo much why not steal a bit their leveling experience
  • On release we still had to endure the Premade abuse in BG’s and it lasted the entire first phase, it was so bad I and many others unsubbed, I personally just played 1 month and cleared BFD like 10 times or more and left and wasn’t planing to come back until you announced the changes to this for phase 2 but that phase one pvp experience was unacceptable
  • No changes to add more PvP gear so PvPers can actually just gear with PvP if they chose to do so, they still need to go into trash Raids to get “better at PvP”

I litterally only find fun playing Tanking Shaman and the deserved love that the class needed as a whole because if it was boring to play I would not even be here anymore and I’m seriously questioning if I should even keep going or just call it quits and wait to see if when lvl 60 is here is worth comming back.

They said they wouldnt try to micro balance and here we are… Everyone whining and micro balances multiple times in a 30 day span

wild game mode gone wrong

Kinda sucks when people play mmorpgs want to remove anything requiring coordination with other players.

The problem is when your progress is tied to the mental capacity of others and when there aren’t alternatives for people that don’t like that content.

This is why no changes vanilla is the best game. SOD is like opening a can of worms where everyone has their own religious beliefs about what the game should be.

then dont play the game kek lmao

OP is an anti-social Andy whining about how group content is rewarding, lol.

It is a bit terrible, I am surprised they didn’t up the quest experience like how they did in Season of Mastery.

For sure, there’s a ton more viable options.

And yeah there’s some broken things lets not pretend there wasn’t in vanilla either, all it’s done is shuffle it up a bit, which is of course part of the point.

Wah wah
/10.

All the paid actos and fanboys are blocked and will be blocked on the spot, don’t even bother, you know who you are and you know you are blocked and will be blocked.

mounts are literally the same price as original classic in 2019… oh and we have 10x the gold we had then. huh?

anyone who disagrees with me is getting blocked!!!.. What a :clown_face: post from a :snowflake: tbh

Not really, people were spamming SM for the loot you can’t spam raids cus of the lockouts most people probably only have 1-2 gnomer items the rest are from bfd sm or perhaps some quests

If you have BFD gear you barely need stuff from the dungeons and people will want the Gnomer raid loot 100% and that gear outclasses every dungon gear and that is not natural, there is too much powercreep.

your premise of grouping bad changes and lack of changes together doesnt really work here.

lack of changes doesn’t make the game any worse than standard classic.

like you only listed one actual bad change which is the raid centric design trivializing the other modes.

objectively, it sounds like you just don’t like classic and should go back to retail.
