This is not just another trollish ‘wow is dead’ thread, I do actually want to express some serious concerns.
For the longest time leveling up through dungeons was a good way to make social friends, with people who don’t take the game too seriously, but with the level squish in Shadowlands that’s coming to an end now, as let’s face it, you can from level 1-50 in no time at all, and it’s been my observation with mythic+ and other systems, the end game of wow is pure, go, go, go, it’s not a very social experience its more of an e-sport experience.
So for me, and other chill casual players, after leveling 4 alts in covenants the question is then what is left to do? It’s not all bad, I am hopeful for the PVP side of the game that has been neglected for too long, and because I am interested in the story line of Shadowlands I have already bought it so will level in it, but I have a feeling this could very well be the last expansion for me.
Most of my original wow friends are long gone, and for the longest time wow has been the king of mmo’s but sometimes I am starting to feel like I am on a sinking ship, not all of this is Blizzard’s fault, they can only do so much to control peoples attitudes, but the biggest problem is when people they have to choose a certain covenant that gives them more optimal powers, well if it’s the case that you are going to get blasted for your dps not being optimal in a simple dungeon because you chose the wrong covenant because people care about that 0.2% percentile I think that will be really sad.
The problem is, if wow continues on its present course, I am worried that too many people will leave, what is needed is more interesting and cool things to keep casual players hooked; Guild housing, REAL player housing (not garrisons), are some fun things they could look into.
*edited the OP, as although Blizz didn’t mind what I was saying, for the sake of the forum I decided to change the title anyway so my post sounded less click bait for you all.
