Solo Players -- How Do You Feel?

Considering the devs noted the return of tier specifically in SL, it’s very clear that corruptions were absolutely not tier.

But it’s super fun watching you try to keep twisting this idea into existence rather than just admit you were wrong.

Eh, I can see where hs is coming from, it is a variation on the “rose by any other name” argument. Call it tier, call it something else, it is, for all intents or purporses, what it is being called at least for the ones calling it that

Corruptions effectively served the same purpose that tier did, it was just more chaotically available.

I run old content and world content. Id like world content to be a viable source of progression but no one else will allow that. Its why titanforgeing is gone.

It would be the smart thing to do.

This way you aren’t trying to argue with a brick wall.

sadly, that feels like 90% of the forums at times.

Should be solo versions of raids imo so solo players can still experience the story.

This is similar to my situation though…

To be honest I am getting a little jaded, though not enough to quit just yet, but I am asking myself if it’s worth it every so often…

…then again, maybe I’m getting grumpy and old :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

Powerful gear, sure. But not really in the ballpark of tier with it’s class specific perks and bonuses (and no negative effects). SL legendaries are closer to tier than corruptions.

My bike effectively serves the same purpose as my car, but they’re not the same.

In this case however, it’ll be suggested you don’t need a car since you have a bike.

Watch the Asmongold interview with Ion. If you haven’t already. In it he says point blank that they have “underserved” the largest part of the community, the solo player. So that’s why I think that they now have an entire open world team to make that content.

I’m a solo’er also brother, besides LFG Dungeons. Help is on the way. Keep the faith, brother.

Ironic because Bloody is the troll here.

I choose not to do Mythic+. When a good chunk of the game revolves around mythic+ instead of, say, the WoW equivalent of MSQ, I feel left out.

Not because I’m not being invited to Mythic+ dungeons. But because the game does not cater to my taste.

This. Make this more relevant. It’s already fun and can be done at our own pace

As for why I stepped away from SL?

Korthia and the weekly /daily capped research grind. I could not play weekly and keep up. I couldn’t do that and my soul ash farming. Since I got behind on all that I gave up hope of finding a normal raid guild. Or a mythic guild.

I’m going through some stuff. It’s taken me 12 hrs at 1 hr per day just to set up my UI and learn some rudimentary macros after coming back. Not complaining. Just back in BFA once I hit 60 and finished the chapter up I immediately was doing m+ nightly. And i didn’t have anything but my default neck to start raiding. At least everything I did powered up my neck or dropped some cool gear. And island expeditions x9000 greater than torghast.

The whole nightmare thing was cool. Annoying and stressful tho. It was well made.

I hear ZM is good and getting some legendaries isn’t that bad now at least. I’ll probably offspec LFR as disc until I see really competitive #s in my logs again meaning I actually know what I’m doing. Season 4 will probably be almost over though lol.

Hard to keep the faith when us solo players have been stiffed for a long time.

How do you feel left out of content you choose not to do?

For a time, I felt kinda bitter about being a solo player. Mostly because back in BfA and Legion, I didn’t really want to be one but I wasn’t part of the little ‘group’ in my guild that got together to run M+. Didn’t feel very good when I saw those people log on outside of raid times because I knew what they’d be doing. Definitely the closest to ‘left out’ I’ve ever felt in WoW.

Got over it eventually though. Heck, maybe my decision to not buy SL is my subconscious avoiding that happening again by ensuring I’m not even eligible for the content anymore. :joy:

But I’ve always been able to have fun by myself as well. WoW has so much to do as far as collecting, and I’ve finally learned how to level alts after not having any since I really started playing in 2008!
