Playing this game is so boring now as an open world/solo player

It doesn’t matter what I believe about you. We’re offering you advice and you’re stamping your feet in an attempt to “win” an argument that you are never going to win in an MMO.

Look. I’ll grant that shadowlands biggest failing was that it was too damn hard. Blizzard really ought to consider toning it down going forward.

That said, access to endgame has never been better than it was in SL. Once you got there though, oh boy.

Anyway. Good luck and I hope you find something to enjoy.

Classic tbc has 280k players bruh. Less than 10% of retail WoW. If you think that RMY cesspit is doing well, it’s because you’re intentionally stupid.

“Except it’s the right response.” 🫠

Give me a break bro.

Alright guys, one sweaty nerd is absolutely right. Let’s wrap it up and stay silent /s

Still right.

No, a more apt comparison would be that GTA V consistently updates one part of the game I really like and then chooses not to.

Like so many of you are failing to see that my problem with the game isn’t the game itself, it’s the fact that 9.2.7 excluded one part of the demographic when we are still months out from the next expansion.

Do you get the problem now?

I’m not trying to win anything. I’m just telling you that you’re missing the point by not actively engaging with the issue.

You guys come in here like as if I’m attacking raiding and M+. I’m asking for one demographic to get a little something to tide us over and you guys act like I came into your home and kicked your dog.

I’m sure you’re trolling me. But, when I meet people that always think they’re right it’s such a turn off, so delusional. We’re all wrong sometimes. Anyway, I love this song for ppl with that kind of mentality.

I agree with what your saying. Heck they couldn’t even bother to give us some cool looking PvP armour on the way out from this expansion, just a rehash of last seasons ugly armour. New season=New gear. This whole expansion I think I’ve been waiting for something like this to happen.

No I don’t get the problem, because we listed a good long list of things SL has given solo players to do, and you can’t tell me whats missing.

If you’re saying you’re upset because Blizzard didn’t personally add things to what you do. That’s 100% on you. They didn’t add any new pvp sets for me, but I’m not sitting here throwing a fit about it. I’m just not pvping this season and doing other things in the game I enjoy.

Well pretty much every slot an open world solo play has can be upgrade thru LFR. Keep in mind LFR is dropping gear from 265 - 272.

Yeah I don’t feel very confident in that anymore. One I guess can hope.

And you know how? You also are directing it at me and not at the person I was mentioning I heard it from, so I hope you can call yourself stupid before you call someone else that.

I think we’re going to disagree here.

SL: Tons of quests to find.

No. There is not. Yes, there are quests there I have not done. The Maw is a fine example of quests I haven’t done and have absolutely no urge to do or reason to do for that matter, since I’m not a masochist. I have at least 2 toons in every covenant, just to give you some context of where I’m coming from.

It is barebones. This we’re going to disagree. In all my years of playing I have never been bored. Angry enough to quit for years due to game design choices, yes. Bored, no.

But I have to ask you this: What I have said in anything I’ve posted on this thread that gave you the impression that I wanted better gear than I could get in the world content?
How did you come to this conclusion? Why is this so stuck in your brain that you’re seeing things written that are simply not there? What is your hangup in this?

No where also did I say I did old world content for cosmetics (never use them, SL has the LAZIEST designs to date: change a small color and call it new!) or pets or mounts? (here, waste your time going round and round for the rarest of rare drops to maybe be able to make a mount of a slightly different color!)

As for PvP, how did that come up? PvP requires a lot of time to devote to that sort of play. I’ve done it in far better games than this, but that’s not time I have to devote, nor does it interest me here.

So, I’ll address the last question you asked, even though you still have this false belief that I’m talking about gear here.

I’ll use BFA as a reference as it’s fairly recent:

  • Story: In BFA, there was a story for Alliance and a story for Horde. Yes, there was some overlap, especially when you got to Nazjatar and Mechagon, but even then there were little things to differentiate the two, little stories, NPC interactions. So lots more to do and explore, twice over.

  • More variety. Yes, lots of kill x, fetch that but at least it felt a little changed up and reflected the local flavor (Drustvar comes to mind). There were more and varied WQ, more choices in what to do and lots of side things to do that were interesting and some were fun. Some were grindy, yes, but there was some humor in the design (Going to get that bee mount someday!) SL quests often feel down-right insulting in their design. I actually felt offended by the design choices. I had never felt that before.

  • A sense of being part of things. SL kicked that all out the window and into the lava pit outside.

  • A progressing storyline. I know a lot of people hated BFA and were about as bored with it as I am with SL (though I’m not bored per se, the feeling is more like having overeaten, that feeling that you’ll be sick if you have to eat one more bite). I took BFA at my own pace, which was slightly slower than my pacing through SL as I had less time to play. I got to Nazjatar after the rush intentionally, same with Mechagon and enjoyed the latter quite a bit.

And what you’re accusing me of (wanting gear) is about as fair as if I said all your type does is complain that you work hard for your gear so you can flaunt how much better you are than other players.

So please, just read what I actually wrote rather than see things that aren’t there?

While yes the buff is fun I agree with that but wouldn’t removing the buff and making leveling take longer be well? giving you a way to experience leveling alts longer? instead of Bam 60 bam 60 bam 60 Im for the xp boost to be back in… but just curious about that side of it?

Someone who runs or heads the dev team is determined to make E-sports raids a reality.

They are doomed to failure.

When you aren’t even worth a token effort of a tiny bump in rewards it sends a pretty clear message how much the dev’s even think about your existence.

If they ever got bots under control, I wonder how the auction houses would look in terms of gathered goods. So many people have been pushed out or walked away from the game and we all know the raid loggers aren’t out there gathering herbs, ore, etc…

Everyone take this elf’s advice :nerd_face: Some people want Azeroth to burn :rofl:

  • Story: You’ve got 4 covenants with different quests, and different companion quests to build a connection with. You’ve got The maw, that evolved into the Cov’s working together and giving a new series of Weekly quests with their own rotation of flavor and special events that they ended with.
  • Variety. You’ve got quests where you ride in robots. Quests where you fly on animals and bomb things. A flappy bird daily, Jumping puzzle dailies. Actual puzzles in ZM to do. Get turned into a waiter at a party quests. Theres a lot there. Feels like a lotta varied content. I’m not sure how you’re Insulted by quests or offended? That seems like a you specific problem.
  • Being a part of things? You’re THE MAW WALKER. The whole story is about you doing and saving all of space and time. Its perhaps the biggest reason why the story sucks so much, because the Player character. Is the center of everything. You lead the charge into the Maw with the cov forces that you rallied together. You Go to ZM a place nobody could ever find in thousands of years because -YOU- Are THE MAW WALKER. You’re pretty involved in every part of this Xpack.
  • I’m not really getting your point here for a progressing storyline. We saw the Maw chance completely after we defeated the Raid bosses and the story moved forward. We saw Torghast change completely after we defeated the raid bosses in that raid’s storyline of going in there. Thats more progression in zones than anything in BFA had. Mechagon didn’t suddenly lose all its mobs and difficult areas after we finished its storyline. It had no progression to the area. Same with Naz. Nothing changed in there after you finish the storyline.

So. We have a progressing Storyline. We have the Player character as the center of attention and Involved in everything. (Even the Alliance Maw walker gets to save the Forsaken undercity.) We’ve got the same Variety of quests we’ve always had. Silly minigame ones. Big smashy You’re a god big boss mob ones. Hide in a silly item ones. The only thing quest wise SL doesn’t have. Is another Poop joke quest. No outhouse quest. We’ve got 4 branching stories that as the story progressed all link together which is 2 more than BFA had. You still have NPCs reacting to your race and faction.

So I’m still at. What do you want? Seems more like. You just didn’t like SL’s themes, and because of that think everything in it must be bad, and it’s got nothing the old xpacks you liked had. But thats just not true. Its not a game content issue. Its all there. Everything you listed you wanted is there.

I can only login 30min tops before I get bored and annoyed…

Dear OP,
Blizzard abandoned SL long ago. They added these season 4 activities for two purposes: 1) keep people playing as long as they can and 2) see if and how long players will play old content repurposed as new.

The first reason is because they need Q3-4 revenue so they need the subs. The second reason would make their jobs much easier and would reduce costs of future xpacs/patches.
