The game is often empty, except reset days its absolutely brimming with life, and then after Thursday, Wrath classic feels like a ghost town…as i sit and ponder…how could such a thing happen? Where would these people go? It dawned on me…
Blizzard wanted people to raid log since OG Wotlk release. I have proof the NPCs were trying to prepare us for this all along…
Go to Krasus Landing…think about how your life has been…and watch the NPCs randomly ride in to glorious dalaran and simply dissapear…
I mean…even the damn NPCs are just raid logging on Wrath…they were probably out doing some dailies to get their consumes and their daily hc++ and flew in to dalaran cause their hearth was on CD, then logging to go play some D4 or Classic HC until next reset.
God how did we not see this was the way it would be all along…

Newsflash for you:
You don’t have to stay in game idling or doing some tedious garbage, you can stay in touch with your wow friends through other means.
If you’re done with whatever you planned to do for the day, nobody’s holding you hostage and you can just play something fun instead of doing chores.

I think those that played legion realized how awful it became when WoW had a long list of chores to stop you from raid logging.
It’s a different kind of hell.

It’s ok to play a videogame once or twice a week for a couple of hours. Some say that it’s even healthy that you don’t feel forced to be online all the time. However as an altoholic I wouldn’t know anything about that.

Even if you only raid log, I’d say the average guild is two 3-hour raid nights. 6 hours a week for a game some people have been playing every week since vanilla. Sounds like a pretty good game.
Why would you want that game to be designed so that you had to be logged in every waking moment? Try some other games out, Wow isn’t going anywhere.

Ah, but if you’re out of things to do you can start leveling an alt! It’s faster than ever to get a fresh alt to 80 and join in on the grind through heroic dungeons with the new random dungeon fin-…oh…

Touch grass. Or play something else or level an alt.
PVE server problems… We find plenty to do on Grobb when we’re not raiding.

I played constantly during wrath. Playing through it again, I don’t even have the motivation to run a dungeon every day. Where did that energy come from? What was I working on? I honestly can’t remember.

What do you expect from a rehost of a MMO from 2008? They already added 2 extra difficulty modes that did not originally exist.

I don’t see the problem with running 8 toons through the AT dailies, that keeps my schedule pretty full…
/engage “Steve Buscemi Stare” mode
and you think that observation equals “proof”?
Not to mention retail. All these cats act like it don’t exist now that they got their precious 15 year old content back. There’s a reason it’s often dead on Classic,people are playing the real version of the game.
Had to is different than want too. No one likes boring, trivial, or annoying tasks that have to be done every day just to maintain standing in the game. But the better the game the more you want to log in for more than raid night. I like games that are so much fun that I want to log in almost every day.
for sure. Wow was that game for me back in 2008. In 2004 it was Runescape. Where the game is so good you lie in bed thinking about what you are going to do tomorrow in the game.
For me, I guess that “magic” is gone in wow, and its not very likely a patch or a hotfix is going to inspire that kind of exploration and planning again.

Yeah, it’s gone for me too. I was almost a no lifer in Vanilla to Wrath. If they added rdf I would like to play cata and MoP, mostly because I barely played them due to work issues. They would be mostly new for me. But that’s it. I don’t know how I made myself sit in my garrison day after day but I won’t do that again.
The never ending grind is a retail thing. It’s the main reason I hated retail. The reason people loved old wow is because you could play other games instead of having to dedicate your whole life to the constant grind.
Yeah, because if you actually stayed logged in and played the game for more than just 5 mins before your raid, you might actually do somrething and be surprised how easy it is to make gold and then you could join a gdkp istead of crying about gold buyers
But I don’t care about that. I raid with my guild, do dailies with my guild if needed and that’s it. Other in-game activities do not interest me so I play other games.
I have no clue what you’re stuttering about there.

What’s wrong with raid logging? There are other games out there if you have nothing to do until the next week.
