“Some of the most toxic and deplorable players.” Reread what you wrote, because you are saying that the rest of the most toxic and deplorable players are the ones who do group content.

i havent really felt the healing nerf all too much. i feel like im putting in the same globals and same effort for the most part, just the numbers on the meters are higher. but then again “i feel” is the key word
It’s true, I just went to do the Black dragon keep quests and the mobs health has been vastly increased.
Like “holy cow what is going on” increased.
At 406 this was a cake walk until the patch, now it’s back to feeling like a fresh 70 again.

I am a casual. I have a main at 219, 2500 IO, 6/8 mythic and an alt at 210, 2200 IO and 2/8 mythic.
I am a casual player so no playing alts hasnt been destroyed.
Its very casual friendly. I think you mean bad at the game friendly.

Casual= normal people with a job wants to play a game as a hobby and want decent rewards. Even time gates are better then this lottery atm.
Hardcore= either twitch streamer which job is to advertise this game or total losers which sees wow as their life.
It’s not true, I went through my screenshots folder tonight and made note of the mobs where I had screenshotted their health bars. Went back and checked tonight, and they’re the same as in December.
You can also check raid logs from last week and this week, mob health is the same in both.
WoD has this too in Chromie Time. Especially Rares having far more health now for some reason.

What about the people who spend their lives on the forum and still do nothing but LFR and open world stuff. Where do they fall?

I really think people need to speak for themselves before they talk about “casual” players. Casual (and hardcore for that matter) don’t necessarily denote skill level.
These past few years, I’ve been working full time and studying in graduate school. Been doing many other things besides playing WoW. I’m talking doing 0-1 dungeons a week in M+ sometimes, no raiding, farming a few mounts and doing Darkmoon Faire.
I still did just enough to get my portals from M+ this past season, which actually exceeded my goal of just getting KSM. I was able to also level several characters to 70 and do various things in the game. I also took the time to level to 80 in Classic Wrath, something which actually was a much more annoying grind than I remember it… but I digress.
I did keys with people who did 4x the keys I did this season (not counting my Halls grind for a trinket) and still struggled with using their interrupts, for example. While playing the game for longer doesn’t necessarily make you better at it - there are players who have been playing since vanilla who still struggle with it, and that’s ok - the barrier for entry into endgame is the lowest it has ever been.
I am able to create a character from scratch and get them ready for S2. Even if I miss the early wave and get behind the “hardcore” crowd that plays the game 70 hours a week, I can achieve my goals months before the season is over. And I only play what I want to play - I will never reroll or respec to the “best” spec and will sooner just find other people to play with.
When you guys say the game isn’t casual-friendly, I really can’t relate.

Forum is nothing different then posting on twitter or reddit. Isn’t comparable as one is playing lottery and the other is conversation with an community
Tell me how many alt characters could you bring to max ilvl
Oh, okay. So they aren’t considered “total losers” to you?

Just one I am guessing. I’m not going to valor grind to get max level gear on more than one character.
But, here’s the thing: in all my time playing WoW, I’ve never come close to the max ilvl until Shadowlands (didn’t play BfA extensively). I did not mythic (heroic) raid in the past, so I never even came close to having the best gear for PvE. So, that’s another gap that’s been bridged.

Less losers I would say. I’m writing right now driving in public transport on my way to the gym. As for playing you need to sit at least 3 hours in front of the screen. One can be done causally in between other thing is bound to PC equipment
Yeah I also managed to get just one equipped. It’s just hard to do it as an regular player.
I bit more catch-up later in the season wouldn’t hurt the game I guess. But it is what it is
The day people like ion no longer work at blizzard.
They need a jack of all trades or a semi-hardcore head in there.
Someone that is good as the 1% but also enjoys messing around and wants the game to be less painful and enjoyable for people that aren’t the 1%.
Seriously, as someone that strictly pugs with a single friend that isn’t a healer.
This season was extremely unfun and painful, and im guessing season 2 will be just as bad.
Having to rely on healers this much sucked, slow dying by the lack of heals sucked.
getting 1shot by unavoidable RW damage sucks.

You have told us many times that you frequently run carry high key groups for gold and are a mythic raider. I’m thinking your highly personal definition of “casual” is very different from most people’s.

The bonus valor system is pretty good. Maybe increasing that by like 100% would be good. However, that’s just for M+ - I can’t speak for other parts of the game.

No it wasn’t… You have plenty of alt catchup gear accessible to you. You can craft every piece of gear through professions. World content has upgrade paths to make the gear better. While having new zones to do new activities in(things that non casuals do not care about because they only care about instanced content).
And a +15(which is +16 now) was never “casual” content. Idk who you’re trying to fool.
