Returning is pointless

I returned 2-3 days ago on my Druid, after quitting 2~ weeks into Battle for Tuesday…

On return, I no longer have any idea what to do, at all.

I can’t continue the story due to rep gating and everything giving minuscule amounts of rep in comparison to the bars you’re filling.

I got to 365+ ilvl fast, and now everything on the map is a downgrade giving me NO incentive what so ever to do world quests.

I’m SO far behind on Azewrong that farming the tiny, tiny 100-250 chunks of rewards is not even a consideration with an 8k bar.

Obviously I can’t train the traits on the 360-370 gear I’m getting.

No one will take anyone under ilvl 390 for anything in the finder.

No one is running Uldir anymore to actually catch up and no one in my 2 guilds is interested in the soul crushing, demoralizing, horrible experience that is plus modes.

LFR queues for a healer are 45+ mins, once inside, no one pays attention, dies, leaves, we wait 40+ mins for another tank, as 90% of the people who left, get put back into the team given there’s now an incredibly small number of players actually queued.

I tagged along for a few kills in the new raid with my Horde guild, nothing but Breath drops but of course.

Was this your plan, Blizzard?

is this “catch up” Blizzard?

Feels bad, man.

Like… really bad.

Well if you feel that way there really isn’t anything anyone can say is there?

I could say just do the Wqs and emisarries at a reasonable pace and you will be caught up in a few weeks. Throw in an island here or there and maybe a few warfronts. Plus the mercenary missions.

If that doesn’t seem practical to you then I guess you could go find another game to enjoy.

I wish you luck.

To sum it up: took a break and now upset that they need to catch up.

You don’t run Uldir to catch up.

Plenty of people take others below 390 ilvl in finder. This is simply not true.

An 8k bar takes very little work to hit the next level.

I dunno buddy, I was 350 a week ago, now Im 380. Play the game more? Utilise your time better?

So you quit 2 weeks into BFA and you expect to be at the same point in the expansion as people that didn’t?

Not quite sure I understand what you are annoyed about.

Are you saying that you stopped playing, when, in August/September last year? And have come back now, and expect to have now what you would have had if you had continued playing?

World Quests give you rep. You say you need rep. Then…perhaps…do World Quests?

Again, Azerite is earned in play. You were not here to play. You are now here - hence, you need to play to earn Azerite.

I do not believe for a moment that you cannot get groups. Make your own if you have finding it slow? Play with your guild? If your guild doesnt, find another guild that does?

This is an MMO. MMO’s require your to participate. Asking for something for nothing because you want to “catch up” is why this game is, frankly, going down the toilet.

So in other words.

“Blizzard hold my hand and give me stuff so I can do current content all because I don’t want to make my own groups or catch up since I took a break.”

That about right?

It’s actually much easier coming back to WoW and catching up then any other MMORPG imo. There is no time-gating on World Quests, and they award decent gear.

If you can’t do that for gear, then you just need another game. Probably not an MMO, all MMOs need you to grind and it doesn’t seem like you want to grind.

Daddy Blizzard didnt hold your hand enough in BFA? :disappointed_relieved::disappointed_relieved::disappointed_relieved::disappointed_relieved:

Start your own raid group and you can do the new raid. I even see groups recruiting for normal with 365+ players so…just keep signing up if you don’t want to make your own.

I used to be a nobody doing heroic things, now I’m a hero doing nothing

Actually, you might feel better coming back for 8.2… the horrible azerite system is being over hauled. As usual they will also employ some major catch up mechanics. I heard maybe even some profession tuning… supposably a better game experience than what you will have now

14

phhhhh… What story.
The only part of BfA I enjoyed before I bailed and went back to MoP and classic content was the witch story line in Drustvar that was really interesting.
Other than that…meh.
I’ll wait till the expansion is over…level in dungeons and hope for better in the next one.

So you are mad that you’ve played for 2 days and are behind the people who have played for 5 months. Neat.

This is easy to fix in three steps:

  1. Switch to alliance.
  2. Get a ilvl 400 weapon for free.
  3. Stop crying.

Just returned myself. Made a new toon and really enjoying it

the only story that is “rep” gated is honorbound… that by far is the easiest rep to get between the weekly island… all the incursions… the emissary plus each story portion gives a huge chunk of rep.

Pretty much i resub yesterday and regretted it so ill just let it run out until classic wow.

Nah-- The catch up comes around 8.3… You jumped the gun way too soon.
