Life, family, friends, and work should come first. Wow should always take the back seat. Please stop with the FOMO. It doesn’t feel like the game is designed to respect the player or their time. Also, it should be ok to beat all the content of a patch - which I would expect few of us actually do, considering all the mindless time sucks that are in the game.
I cant guarantee that I can log in every day or every week - and when I miss out on limited time rewards it feels bad. For example the Mastery of the Turbulent Timeway achievement only grants 1 tick in a week of the 5 required regardless of how many of your characters earn the Mastery of Timeways buff. Please give us the option to skip a week or two and still get the mount.
Blizzard are you that scared that if you don’t force us to log in every week we will stop paying a subscription? Honestly if you have good content I’ll be here month after month- I’m sure most of us will, but a certain point if the FOMO continues it will start to drive us away.
Am I alone in thinking this way or do others feel the same?
Will be back with the next TW event. It’s a permanent achievement.
I despise when people use a psychological phenomenon as a buzzword for limited time items.
BUT…
I do think a little bit of limited time is fine. Elite PvP, Challenge Mode PvE are fine.
After that, I start to get annoyed.
I also despise holiday insanely low droprates. It’s a holiday. It’s supposed to be fun. It’s not supposed to make people feel bad that they’re on year 10 without a mount they’ve been trying to get for that long.
Fair enough. And I completely agree with you about limited time drop rates. If someone completes the event a few times and doesn’t have most, if not all the rewards it feels wrong. The love is in the air rocket is a perfect example of how some folks obsess over something that should be fun and it poisons the game. One year I tried to do 10+ characters per day nearly every day of the event and it made me pretty resentful every time I looted the box without the mount. I know there are folks who did way - way more than that and I don’t think the behavior is healthy, nor is the game enjoyable at that point.
I mean I can understand wanting to keep some things rare, the whole unique snowflake argument, but honestly I don’t really care if someone has something rare unless its for doing something difficult. I’m not impressed that you did something a ton of times or you got really lucky.
Well you’re not alone, but not everyone agrees. I think time-limited anything is anti-consumer on the face of it, and is plainly a tactic used in order to maximize sub time at the expense of the consumer.
Same. I’m playing Palia right now and they’ve made sure that everyone can get their event rewards in different ways, so that no one gets left out. They even gave people the means to get the gifts they gave to us Alpha testers. Which I’m totally cool with.
WoD had gladiator Warrior, which is easily the most fun I’ve ever had in WoW, and just as easily the thing I miss the most in this game. It’s even worse because there’s no way in hell there’s going to be a WoD classic server, cause I’d be the only person on it.
I am totally cool with the season long achievements being FOMO. Sure M+ score of 2k or beating the raid when its current is a great goal, and you have MONTHS to do it, but logging in every week to do some poorly tuned cake walk five weeks in a row doesn’t really feel like it should be a thing. Just my opinion.
I also had to look it up, OP should have posted what it meant and not assumed we all know every acronym ever created.
I think its just a part of life, we all fear missing out on something, a daughters wedding, getting trash out to the curb on trash day, or a limited time mount, but know this, I could not name one mount, pet, toy or achievement anyone in my guild or on my friends list has. I have seen achievements in guild chat but I just said grats and forgot who got what 20 seconds later.
So why stress over something you may miss out on, when in the grand scheme of things, nobody really cares.
I don’t really care if I get the mount or not. Didnt even bother doing timewalking
