Sorry the format of this post was so offputting I didnā€™t read it, i come to the wow forums to listen to all the latest gosā€™ not to look at an Excel spreadsheet.

Iā€™d at least respect him if he flat out said it. Go all in on making the game only for the hardcore and give them the best experience possible.

Donā€™t think Iā€™d still play, but Iā€™d respect a company doing that.

What was the response?

My biggest gripe with loot this expansion is how little anima we get :stuck_out_tongue: Seriously give me one of those mission table profession cache when 0 gear drop or something along those lines . You can keep that 35 anima that i will farm elsewhere :wink:

Im a casual ,all 8 dungeons timed 7s this week and i 97% enjoy the scarce loot in Shadowlands ā€¦So i dont know what OP is trying to do deciding whoā€™s who in all this ā€¦

Well if it takes a turn similar to WoD then theyā€™ll reverse course quick like a Benny Hill conga line chase.

This post represents me 100%
Shadowlands sucks, itā€™s just trash made to look pretty, but nothing more.
What happens when you remove the pretty? reality appears and the reality is that there is nothing else.
It doesnā€™t even look like WoW anymore, this is a weird thing with the name of World of Warcraft.

I plan on not renewing. They got the 6 monther out of me. After doing the raid on normal and seeing M0 if thatā€™s all the end game content there is to offer I think Iā€™m gonna go play 7 Days to Die. I felt like I was playing two fort and I can only imagine it gets more insane from here on up.

Iā€™ll be the first to admit it my coordination skills arenā€™t the greatest. Thatā€™s why I donā€™t play shooters or fighters.

Whether they realize it yet or not, the elitist raiders, YouTube streamers, and people who have time to play this game for 12 hours a day may have ruined the game for everyone, not just casuals. Some of them were saying that loot was hard to come by in Castle Nathria this weekā€”even with the bug that made 5 pieces of loot drop per 20 toons, instead of 3. And tomorrow when they check their Great Vault, it could be full of wrists, waists, and rings instead of the weapon or trinket they were after. You will need to pray to the RNG gods more than ever.

And how do casual activities for earning gear hurt anyone, especially now that gear canā€™t Titanforge or corrupt? The other ways of gearing up used to be there for the benefit of all who were interested.

They used a model to tell things were ok.
Hes fine with WQs and that youā€™ll eventually move off it.

He did things to reduce the feeling of needing to do it. And moreā€¦

It caters to raiders. Leaves rest open world stuff unrewarding and I hear dungeons are no better.

The systems need refining as time goes on, and there needs to be catchup for alts. Itā€™s fine for one character to have to do all the things every day but after theyā€™re done it shouldnā€™t be the exact same climb for alts.

Thereā€™s just a lot to do.

Easy argument against thisā€¦if youre so casual, you donā€™t need that much gear or anima to complete casual content.

Or I can quit. Great mentality for unrewarding slogs.

Ruined how? Iā€™ve been enjoying myself.

Then again, I quit giving a [Bunny!] three expansions ago. Just going coast along doing my thing and being happy.

You will need hundreds of thousands of anima to unlock all the appearances and other aesthetic rewards.

And the mobs in World Quests, the Maw, and Torghast are a lot tougher if you are undergeared.

I think the devs have personified a pendulum.

SLs brings in the raiders. Whatever comes next brings back casuals and the cycle continues. It could happen within the expansion though

The gear from the vault donā€™t repeat between them. If you did I content youā€™ll get 9 different pieces of loot to choose 1.
