My thoughts on how to make WoW great again

[Rankin-shandris (Rankin)]

reduce the max level to 60

This never needs to be done. This will not “make WoW great again”. It will destroy any sense of progression.

Remove LFR and Mythic from the game while converting LFR to normal and heroic to mythic in terms of difficulty.

Having fewer difficulties will also not “make WoW great again”.

Remove warforging and titanforging to bring back BiS lists so we have goals to aim for.

You mean back when just getting the item you wanted was significantly harder?

Bring attunement back into the game but it should be account bound so you have account progression.

Attunements are lame and only serve as barriers of entry for new players.

Don’t you think you’d have more fun if there was a talent tree of wrath/cata? Where each level or so you got a reward and a little bit power creep. Instead of tic tac toe your talent choices are done.

We’ll never have this so long as the world scales with you. It doesn’t matter how many talents or abilities they throw at you if mobs level up right along with you.

One thing above all would fix WoW.

Putting rep tabards and/or rep banners back in the game. So people don’t have to do World Quests and Dailies.

Guarantee you do that and WoW gains a couple million subscribers by default.

Can’t help but think about this song when I see this thread

There’s a lot hurting the game right now. I mean I could go on for days about how the design choices have obliterated the population.

One of the big ones is class design and yes what you point out, that lack of incremental empowerment is one of the big problems. Leveling is absurdly boring because it’s not engaging in any context. The mobs are bland and boring, the story has been tread numerous times by anyone leveling an alt and the empowerment increments are non existent.

Class design problems at max level are numerous but that’s not the only place they exist to be sure. Good pointing that out.

By all means please do. I personally think they’ve catered to casuals far too much and its hurting the game. Nothing feels rewarding to do anymore and nothing is a challenge outside of mythic raiding and that seems wrong to me.

I was just talking about this with my fiance that leveling makes me fall asleep as its not engaging at all and just a boring tedious thing that you have to do if you want to have another max level character. I think the journey to max level is the worst experience ever there’s no carrot on a stick for me personally. I don’t want to feel like an overpowered god conquering all that stands before me. I need risk and reward.

Nothing feels particularly good to play for me at the moment. Blood dk is alright I guess and guardian druid just now became fun to play and leveling as a monk tank is so bad I abandoned it around level 50 or so.

Feral finally became playable in 8.1 or 8.1.5 but its still rejected in almost every form of content be it ranked arena’s,mythic+ or raiding and that’s because of how bad it was at launch and enhancement shaman isn’t much better.

Right , I love how the crafting gear In some professions is completely uselsss .

To be fair, wildstar wasn’t actually a bad game at the end, it just lost too many players before they managed to fix it so it just bled out.

Outside of alchemy, jc and engineering what good professions are there right now? In BoD I could craft some 415 leather gear but I couldn’t sell it. Why can’t professions be a gold generator? I don’t get it is it because you can get 415-445 gear from doing world quests.
