I logged in, looked around ZM, said “screw it” and logged out.
This storyline and the convoluted new zone just made me give up tonight.
Anyone else feel similar?
I did the same. I got on and was like “Okay, I want to run some callings and get some dailies…you know what…nah.”
I don’t know if I will be back for 10. Even if they release the most awesome trailer ever and all their features knock it out of the park. Do I SERIOUSLY want to trust Danuser after this?

I would be, if that is the content I liked. I conquest capped both my warriors last night, and I gonna valor cap them tonight. Then do misc gold farming the rest of the week. That keep me distracted enough.

I’ve been saying screw it and logging off a lot more times than I’ve stayed in the last week.

Yes, I did the main quests and got my strange goop for the mount and quit going to the zone. Won’t be back in it until I can get flying there and get the rest of the achievements for the zone is all I care about. This whole expansion to me is so blah. It’s sad

This patch cycle will be active for quite some time with minor adjustments. Don’t worry about staying current with the crowd. If you feel burnt out just take a break. Take a look at other games on steam and maybe catch some great older titles on sale to play something different. I often look at PlayStation games for sale on the PS store for cheap. I have been able to grab up some older games released the last couple years for dirty cheap.

Big yes. They got a lot right about the zone, but it’s all too little too late. ZM is basically a cosmetic / catch up zone, very little of it is tied to any kind of real player power. Which I think is an idea they should carry into the future with ending zones. But most of everything is so heavily time gated it’s just not fun to progress in.
Also, there are major problems showing up with the new pvp trinkets. Have been hit for 60k by a trinket in random bg’s already lol

Same.
I can’t put my finger on it. Especially with it being so new. It’s not engaging at all. Prob gonna go back to working on other rep grinds.

Nope. I’ve got a timer going on my phone for when the research thing finishes and I can start making the mounts in the synthesizer. I’ve finally got a weekend coming up where I don’t have anything else going on, so I plan on hitting ZM with multiple alts to start farming up materials.
You might just need to take a break tbh.

I am there as well. I unsubed for the first time since the end of WOTLK in 9.1 and have upped for a month for 9.2. I am halfway through the MQ and just have not been able to muster up the desire to do any more of it. So, I will play other stuff for a while. Will see what happens.

this zone needs flying to be fun
a lot of that profession stuff I would enjoy if they had made it fair to all but they didn’t - when people have to switch covenants to get those treasures which contain stuff you need or classes then there is an issue.
plus all this research everything on wowhead first is ridiculous - that makes the game totally unfun.

I logged on and finished getting my bullfrog mount and then logged out. 
I’m grateful for this expansion really. I’ve had a lot more time to focus on other things, and even found a new hobby! Honestly kind of hoping 10.0 doesn’t make any improvements so I can go ahead and put my hopes the game will improve to rest.

I think the problem is that anyone who doesn’t like instanced endgame, there are other games that are light years ahead of WoW in content you like now and will always, always be way ahead of any MMO in that category.
I didn’t have time yesterday to do much outside a key, raid and the campaign and it seems like we’re going to be really saturated eventually with things to do in ZM but only if you don’t spend your entire game time there.

Yes. When I was burned out. I’m thinking you might be an elf trapped in a tree ‘bout now if’n you feeling like this. 
I was getting ready to push CE with a new guild, I rerolled Horde on Illidan (since Alliance died on my server) had fought to get my toon somewhat presentable, was getting ready to buy gold to get a ilvl 262 lego, was getting ready to spend 2 nights a week raiding and countless weeks running Mythic+…
… and like 3 hours before the raid last night, as I’m about to buy gold, I’m like:
“What am I doing?”
I’m chasing feelings that a game inspired in me 5+ years ago. That game no longer exists.
This game doesn’t respect your time - this game is genuinely bad, the story sucks, the company sucks. Everything WoW is right now is a shell of its former self.
What do I want? CE? Last time I played, AOTC nearly broke me. 9.0, the split second we got AOTC, I logged out and never logged back in - I was so done. Nothing else was fun or worthwhile to do but raid for me.
This game feels like it’s only gone downhill from there, with so many mind blowingly dumb systems.
So I said “screw it”. I quietly logged out and cancelled my sub instead. I’m right there with you OP… at some point, you just gotta wake up.

When I go to Zereth Mortis, I don’t feel like I am playing WoW. From a lore and story perspective Shadowlands is the worst expansion to date. I didn’t think we could get worse than alternative universes and timelines, but they did it.

For the moment I’m only gonna make myself do the weekly on my hunter and then whatever else I feel like doing in game. I’m mostly playing other games for the foreseeable future cuz I kinda realized i’m burnt out on this game and need something else to do for a bit. surfing the forums seems kinda counterproductive to this though.
