Well she said things are pretty stale now and will do other stuff till blizzard comes with more content and another season.
Thats not quitting at all, its pretty understanable.
Madseason did quit youtube entirely though.
I’m standing in Oribos right now and it’s completely empty.
I know it’s not primetime right now but there were always at least a couple of other alliance players in Boralus no matter what hour it was.
Oribos is alliance and horde and it’s a complete ghost town right now. Pretty sure the alliance hall of fame has taken even longer in Shadowlands as well.
BfA was bad but at least they didn’t make us wait over a whole year for the 2nd patch to come out and they only cut 8.3.5, looks like they are cutting 9.3 and 9.3.5 and maybe even 9.2.5 from shadowlands so I definitely think this expansion is a new low for Blizzard.

Bad idea to split the expansion’s story up into a “choose your own adventure.”
So I need to play through the expansion 4 times to get the whole story of it?
That’s a Scrooge McDuck version of “casual,” if you hardcore players thought you got it rough.

When did people that didn’t even participate in World First content start caring about Halls of Fame clear?

“Not primetime”? It’s 5:30 AM on the east coast, 2:30 pacific.
But in any case - so what? Judging an expansion based on how many people are standing around doing nothing seems pretty silly. I’m in Korthia & the Maw right now, and see people all over. People who are out doing things, playing the game. Instead of standing around in Oribos yourself, get out and do stuff. That’s where people will be.
What are people doing in the Maw, really though? The forums are less painful!
(The 9.1 bi-weekly, it was a rhetorical question.)
F2P gameplay, WOO WOO!

There have always been reasons to be in the Maw. I went there quite often in 9.0, ended up with all my conduits maxed out at 226. It’s why getting them to 252 at the start of 9.1 was such a breeze.
I’m not surprised in 9.0 they put the 226 conduit level challenges in the maw, because the maw was unbearable and ungrindable.
We’re finding our way back to Naguura here, as my familiarity with her was in how she broke down Torghast to get the points to get into the Adamant Vaults, which is like this patch’s way of upgrading conduits to their max.
And from my experience, maybe I’m in one of the 100 or so sleeper realms, but Torghast is pretty empty in front of the instances. The dungeons have much more traffic around them.
No, you can also buy the same upgrade items with research. Adamant Vaults is just an easy way to get the “free” version.
WoW existed before streamers on twitch were a thing, before twitch existed. It’s a ludicrous metric to look at for how this particular game is doing and I get the feel people only post about them on GD to bait angry responses.

Pretty spot on about the WoD challenges though I did actually do the AOTCs with pugs. But I’m not really asking what content I have available to me, I’m asking what content the people that have kept up with the dailies/raids have available to them at this point. Because from an outsiders pov this expansion has looked like WoD 2.0.

Well, I’ve kept up with the dailies/raids and we’re still working on Mythic Sylvanas, as are most progression guilds. Almost 4,000 guilds are 4/10M or higher, less than 700 have killed Sylvanas. Another 700 are in our boat (everything down except Sylvanas).
Then there are the M+20 teleports to unlock, which I haven’t gotten around to doing yet. I haven’t touched PvP this expansion. I still have a ton of exploration/treasures/worldrares to hit up for various achievements, pets, mounts, collectibles.
There’s so much to do this expansion I doubt I’ll get everything done that I want to. But that’s pretty normal, WoW has a ton of stuff to do. Way more than most people ever will do.
I’m only concerned with what makes me want to stay or bail. I could care less what a streamer’s opinion is, I prefer to think for myself.

Naguura is good looking. Gaming really is a boys club though, sometimes. I admit I didn’t get into her channel, even though she was a good looking and clickable girl. And I watched because she had a lot of knowledge on the subject. I wasn’t really interested in her channel, just she’s what came up when I was looking up Torghast once.
But how much of that is fresh content outside of Sanctum?
95% of rare spawns have been fundamentally the same since the end of MoP, so running around the zones and killing them in the hopes that rng will smile upon you is little different than doing the same generic daily quest each day.
PvPers haven’t gotten any new BGs since the end of Legion.
Mythic+ involvement for the average player heavily revolves around the affix rotation and in some cases they’ll opt out of them entirely for a week because they’d rather not bother.
So that leaves the new zone/dailies. Would you say that they feel much different from zones/dailies in the past?
Did she send you here to advertise her channel?
So I like to think I know a lot of the WoW content creators and I legit have never heard that name before. After clicking on the channel link I’m pretty sure I’ve never seen any of their videos either.
That aside, I don’t particularly care what WoW e-celebrities do. It’s been a few years of this whole internet gig and a lot of online performers have learned that shackling yourself to a single game becomes an albatross around your neck in the long run, whether it be because you personally burn out or because the game’s popularity fades. That’s why you see so many single-game streamers become variety streamers as they get a bigger following.
To be honest, our society as a whole could do with a little less celebrity hero worship. What Naguura does or does not play really doesn’t affect my decision-making about what I do with my free time.
At a certain point, you just have to accept that a burger joint sells burgers and you don’t want them every day.
