Technically 8.3 bfa was the least grindy thing ever, I went from boosting to 120 in week 4 of 8.3 to 470 ilvl in 6 weeks and was able to pug mythic raids shortly after (once hof was full).
If you raided in Vanilla, it was extremely grindy. Had to grind gold for repairs, gather herbs or more gold for potions/flasks, and then had to grind the actual gear that was split between 40 people.
Dumb. Just dumb.
itâs not just the end game, but everything has become a grind, vague quest objectives, respawn rates overwhelming, too many adds all the time. I thought I had completed, an object of repelling the forsworn in the sanctuary. but there were still two steps to complete. dying at the inn is not âfunâ itâs exhausting. adding steps to a quest, without knowing it, makes the game frustrating, not fun. a simple quest like surveying secrets should not take two hours, and dying 3 times and I still canât find the last report. i canât just mount and ride to get the reports without being completely overwhelmed by mobs. itâs not fun. I definitely wonât be renewing. I donât mind things that are supposed to be a grind like when I had to argent dawn rep. I knew it going in but the aggro on mobs in SL is too much, itâs exhausting, and not fun. maybe some people think it is, but not me. All i wanted is to get my flying mount so I can do quest like surveying secrets quickly, Alas just doing intro quest are monotonous.
Yup. Got my Dranei shaman to 60, started the Torghast grind and logged off. Havenât been on since.
