My reason for cancelling WoW

Oh yea well you smell. And I’m taking my ball and going home.

In all seriousness OP I understand where your coming from. Big changes are needed like the RNG slot machine and the overkill on time-gating content.

The thing with blizz is they don’t care what the cost is once they make a decision it’s set. They could lose 20% of there customers and they would not do anything and try to make it better. I’ve never seen any company not care as much and puts no effort into making the customer happy.

This is why they are in the boat they are in today. Unfortunately this attitude now comes at a price at the employee expense. It’s sad but I think we all saw this coming.

Amen, well written. Don’t let the Trolls get you down (in game and on line)

Either you are confused, or responded to the wrong person. Because your reply made no sense.

Oh look, a player with 281 item level complaining about how they don’t get into dungeon groups.

You know that there is something that groups 5 random players for a dungeon together, right? It is called the dungeon finder.

Of course no one is going to invite you to a group…I can put in 10 minutes of effort once I hit 120 and be a higher item level than you.

Catharsis is important. Well, best wishes. Maybe if/when you return, you will come to the Alliance :sunglasses:

World of Warcraft is no longer a fun game, it is more of a job, there is no place for people who only enter and complete missions for unique rewards or have fun exploring a dungeon. Since he became “competitive” he was ruining. I remember when wow was so popular that they even dedicated a chapter in South Park, I will never forget the words of one of the blizzard bosses in that episode “the game tries to complete quest” (or something similar) , well, that is forgotten.

Just to say that the WQ, at first I think it was a great idea, later I realized that it was a slave system, because every day I felt that I did not “clean” the maps was a lost day of progress and was behind with respect to my friends.

Then, I get in an “mythic core” just to see how horrible are the raid in mythic version (was in legion), I mean, are (for example) 3-4 hours of practice and practice, 1 week per boss (hopefully) and repeat and repeat the failure … it’s not fun, losing so many times is not fun, then I felt I was wasting my time (which is not free) so I decided to leave it, but blizzard insists on putting a carrot in front so they try to do it, I always get upset that the armors in mythic version are visually better than those of normal or heroic.

Anyway, I have not played for more than 2 months. I’ll wait for 8.2.0, but before I’ll review on YouTube to see if it’s worth it or not to pay again…

I think this is ending, people no longer know how to manifest it and the only thing left is to leave the game and go for another that meets their expectations. (and to make matters worse, we all know about the problems Blizzard/Activision is having, and that’s not very encouraging)

I agree with a lot of your points. For Legion I stayed 6 months straight and had to pull myself away from the game because I needed to study for my exams. BfA… I did not have to. lol A lot of things are NOT fun, but I have to attempt just to get something I want. The journey to get there is not rewarding in a fun way. I’m the opposite, I actually didn’t like Kul Tirans, and I really hated leveling multiple alts on the same storyline over and over again. The Zandalar trolls are more interesting for me, but I get what you mean about being stuck with one visual and storyline that you may not be a fan of. I feel like BfA should have been the expansion that opened doors for us players and give us options and freedom we never had before, but instead, every design choice made killed our options one by one. Players were so excited at prospect of the High Elves, and Allied Races killed it. Players loved their artifact weapons and Azerite killed it. Players were excited at the concept of Nightborne and Void Elves, and the models themselves killed them. Basically everything I wanted that I think could be fun did not happen, and yet all the things that are not so fun I have to do just t fulfill game requirements to get to end game, making the whole game a bit of a grind to play.

I also lament that I need to level my Allied Race toon to lvl110 to get the heritage armour. It’s not like old content is extremely fun. It’s a chore. I can understand getting to lvl60, so I can move on to the next race, but lvl110…zzzz How many times can I do Northernd/Outlands/Warlords/Cataclysm again!!?I have also pretty much tried all the classes, so having to level another of the same class adds to the grind. At least have some different options like Night Elf Paladins, or Void Elf Shamans, Nightborne/Lightforged Druids…something that breaks the traditional mold.

WOW caters to obsessive raiders, but they are the one’s that unsub as soon as they finish a raid tier being bored for what they say is lack of content.

I don’t have lack of content; I have lack of time to do mandatory tedious unlock mechanisms. I only have about 2 hours per night on average and am more and more spending time on repeating content I already did 50 times instead of the new content I want to do.

I pay a monthly fee, but am blocked from content every day.

Well said, took the words right off of my keyboard!
Rest assured, you are far from alone in this!

lol

WoW caters to casuals with an overflow of “content” like war fronts, island expeditions, welfare gear around every corner, and timegated jokes of content like the war campaign.

146

Sorry to burst your bubble there, friend, but that’s not content for casuals. That’s for the shareholders.

147

Really? 131 posts, a lot of them about someone leaving wow and all you people do is squabble about your opinions and how each one of you is right, and everyone else that disagrees is wrong.

OP, I completely understand. If you decide to come back - hopefully it’ll be a better experience. May the winds of fortune favor wherever you go to. May there be many loots in whatever game you decide to play :).

This rings so untrue to me. I have never met or heard of a casual who feels they need to grind world quest gear until they get bis. Casuals I know want gear that’s good enough to do their content comfortably. In my eyes this claim invalidates the entire post.

You really hit the nail on the head, it’s simply not fun.
