Yeah, this place is honestly just so full of vitriolic and depressive negativity that it’s no wonder nobody here seems to actually like the game.

nonsense, we do enjoy bashing it.
humor aside, I like the game. I do not like the story. I feel as though after the tomb of sargeras patch things started going way to fast and on way to big of a scale for my liking, and that’s without mentioning specific characters and just the overall themes of the expansions as of late.

Yeah I can’t even really talk about aspects of the story that I like (don’t get me wrong-- a lot of it is a mess) without somebody who doesn’t really know what they’re talking about barreling into the mentions with a meme like “zombie woman bad” and it getting 27 likes.
Which always makes me think “if you don’t like the game, why are you still here? I promise there are fun things to do elsewhere. Try Elden Ring. It’s great.”

i took a long break from the forums and from the game. didn’t announce anything. got the urge to come back and was talking with my in game bff and it was literally the day before the patch dropped and i had no idea cuz wow doesn’t exist to me when i need a break. (i don’t like to stay upset with things for no reason. just walk away and take the space i need) came back and finished some mogs, leveled some alts, got one of the mounts from the maw. having a great time atm! would be miserable rn if i didn’t take the break when i needed it.

Yeap. It really seems a lot of these people spend more time and energy being constantly pissed at the game than finding something they enjoy spending their free time playing. The forums are like a porta potty at an outdoor event. Everyone swings by to take a crap on the game.

Yes, they aren’t very good at their job any more!, grind for flying oh how fun that is 
I’m only sticking around long enough to do the raid and I’m out until next expansion and it better deliver for casuals in both group and solo play! I’m not buying until that’s confirmed either!

I have mixed feelings about the new zone…
On the one hand I TOTALLY get all the complaints about the lack of content out there especially with the tiny amount of only 3 WQs to pick from.
On the other hand, as an alt-o-holic I’m… somewhat relieved that there’s “nothing to do” out there since it means that much less busywork/chores for me 
Compared to Korthia it’s definitely waaay less grindy. Not really any gold-making opportunities in ZM so I get a sense of relief there as well - I don’t feel like I “have” to visit ZM on 8-9 different alts for fear of missing out on gold (like with Korthite Crystals in Korthia).
As a quick side-note, are you trying to “audition” for green MVP or something? I remember on your Rhielle forum toon you had something like 31k+ posts… that’s a ton, and also a highly unusual amount of posts for just a regular/everyday GD’er

The forums don’t get to me like that to affect my gameplay. It’s just that I’ve watched this game go from fun storylines to something my characters can’t connect to at all on any level. As a roleplayer, that feels like a huge disconnect.
But even when I disliked BfA’s storyline, I still was enjoying some of the gameplay. This time, the systems are so convoluted that I’m looking them up constantly on Wowhead to remind myself of what I’m doing.
I would like to enjoy ZM. But I need to figure it all out first.
Because you can’t understand the difference between story criticism and the game as a whole. That type of dismissiveness is why there’s no constructive conversation to be had with someone who does that.
People can dislike part of a storyline and still have reasons they enjoy playing the game.

Your criticisms are usually “it sux, hate it,” so yeah, there’s not a whole lot to talk about there.
I’ve spoken to you a whole one time and all you did was defend Sylvanas. I don’t judge you based off of one conversation. You might want to think about that as you interact with others.
Being tired of having to explain what good writing is vs trying to get a character out of a hole that the writers backed said character into is entirely different than “it sux, I hate it.”

Yep, and it’s not burnout. I’ve only been resubbed for a month and a half. I doubt I’ll renew.

you know i stan sylvanas and we agree on most other things generally speaking. i’ve never felt like you just think things just sux. i actually said something to you in a thread about how i agreed with all your recent posts both before i realized you muted the thread or i realized you are you.

Yeah, I don’t hate everything. I think what they did to Sylvanas was a travesty of her character all the way back to Legion. They had a great direction to go with her and really build her character. But… they went shock value route instead. Some people like it, that’s fine. But it’s still not good writing from an author’s perspective. Even Christie Golden told Danseur it didn’t make sense.
Yesterday was NOT a good day. lol

my wife is old school fer de herd, as you know. she watched the cinematic with sylvanas and uther and cried she was so happy. i went to the forums and read a bit and read about the other one (which i haven’t seen yet) but she hasn’t told me what she thought about it when she did watch it. i was expecting an elfpocalypse but there hasn’t been a mob of angry nelves taking over the forums yet so i’m happy. blizz set it up so that for one side to be happy the other would be upset. we didn’t do that to each other. they wrote themselves into this corner. i told you ages ago i didn’t think they’d try to redeem her, and while i am happy with how things seem to be going i understand not everyone is. i would’ve rather things had gone differently as well.
Give it time. I’m sure we’ll see our favorite dramatic elf who gets everything wrong just to be outraged come back to post about how we should all be offended.
