Yep I have done almost nothing this expansion. I hated Azerite from the beginning and barely got into playing the game after hitting 120. Just pugged easy content to see the story at the start which almost motivated me to quit with how boring it was compared to Legion.
I didn’t raid anything hard in Legion but I had a good set of people I ran +20 keys with on the regular which I loved. I was lucky my favourite class/spec was the best M+ tank, I got Skullflowers from the M+ cache the first day it was available, and I loved the story/setting of Legion enough to keep me motivated. I understood why my friends hated it, but I never had the same issues since I was Blood 100% of the time and had all my best Legendary items drop first.
In BFA I kept coming back to test out each new iteration of the systems with the successive patches and was never impressed. At least Mechagon was kind of fun, but overall BFA was a big disappointment after enjoying Legion.
So far from what I’ve played in SL I can say I like the dungeon content but know the systems are going to drive me crazy. I don’t even want to collect the stupid Covenant rewards because I’m going to hate playing Night Fae. Wood Armour and a backpack with asymmetrical moths hanging off it? So lame compared to the bone Wing/Arms of Necrolord, Blade Wings of Venthyr or Angel Wings of Kyrian.
When it comes to the abilities I like the utility of soulshape but hate the aesthetics of it, and I’m indifferent on Death’s Due. It’s an amazing and powerful skill but boring as hell. I hope they figure out a way to separate player power from the Covenants. I still haven’t purchased the expansion despite a few friends telling me they are returning to try it(they don’t know anything about covenants or a ripcord really) because I was hoping Blizzard would see the error of their ways. I even went and wrote this How to make Covenants other than Night Fae Appealing to all forms of Content trying to come up with my own ideas how to make the more boring/lackluster DK abilities more interesting(and probably unbalanced). Since we know there won’t ever be true balance, why not go crazy with how they function! You’ll notice I left Night Fae as is because I hate the covenant and want it to burn in a fire.
As has been pointed out by others I’ve come to the realisation they are just too close to release to do a 180 on their big Expansion feature and any changes won’t come till at least the 9.1 patch. It’s sad that a game so many of us enjoy playing keeps pushing these dumb pseudo advanced levelling systems to train us to log in daily/weekly or missing out. If the content is rewarding and fun people will log in every day without having to tie player power to a time gated grind. Gearing should be the only grind.
