Blizzard it is very wrong to require a raid quest in order to finish the War Campaign quest.
What made you come up with this idea? Is raid participation dropping?
People don’t want to have to get a part time job (i.e. join a raiding guild) just to finish the War Campaign questline.
Pretty sure it can be done in LFR, just like what was done in Legion.
LFR isn’t even available and it is a slap in the face to require raiding to finish these questlines in any event!
Finish it in LFR when it opens.
This is no different than the Vol’jin quest requiring a G’huun kill, or just about any non-Balance of Power raid quest post-Cata.
I’m not interested in raiding.
LFR isn’t raiding
Got some good news for you, then.
I’m not interested in mythic
I’m not interested in heroic
I’m not interested in normal
I’m not interested in LFR
NOT INTERESTED.
WoW is a MMORPG not just a game of Tetris. I like that WoW has a story that takes me on a journey. I wish I could see it this week in LFR but it’s only a week which isn’t to bad. If it wasn’t for LFR most players won’t get to see it at all.
Because Blizzard has done a terrible job with tuning raids, no one wants to do them anymore. Thus, their “participation” is down. So they are forcing us to do this quest to help boost their metrics.
Then you don’t finish your quest.
The only tuning issues they have had are with Mythic and you aren’t doing Mythic raiding.
You don’t always do things you like to get what you want.
I dislike raiding and LFR, but if I have to do it to unlock the last sets of allied races, I will do it.
The story is stupid (especially on Alliance side). Will not finish doing the “story” for the war campaign.
I’m perfectly fine with that as long as the war campaign isn’t going to gate anything important (eg: flying, followers, future patch regions, etc)
(to clarify: I’m not against raids having a meaningful participation reward and I realize that obviously whatever it is I won’t be getting it any time soon if I’m not going to participate; my anxiety comes simply from the quest log listing the raid quest as the next step of of the main war campaign and worrying about how much of the rest of the expansion that gates)
Then just watch the ending on youtube. You don’t need to finish the raid… it’s not a barrier to Zandalari/Kul Tirans and it doesn’t get you any mounts, pets or toys so if you are unable to ignore an unfinished quest in your log or you simply can’t abandon something you have no plans on doing then that’s more your own problems.
Why do you believe this raid quest is a requirement?
The war campaign ends, you get an achievement for it, and then Talanji offers you the quest to defeat Jaina – because its logical to the storyline that after being involved in the war campaign, you’d move onto defeating the Alliance.
If the raid quest was required, we wouldn’t get the achievement beforehand, we’d get it after turning in the quest to Nathanos.
Cmon, lets at least complain about important things! (and no, the weekly kill quest awarding i400 items is not important either)
You won’t get to do future war campaign stuff either.
Watching it on youtube or reading it in a book is very anti climatic.
So much for an expansion focused on war out in the world when most of it is confined into instanced content.
Everyone drink!!!
