No respect for players time at all. Main quests, side quests and world quests first: long cast times, tedious routes, a lot of objects aren’t shared between players. One quest even has an NPC mock you by forgetting to open a portal and uses teleport instead.
To further makes this terrible, many of the locations underground aren’t connected properly, forcing you to fly around to reach next location. Many of the WQs are pretty much a copy/paste of Dragonflight’s.
The “listening to feedback” and “we’re learning” is such a worn out excuse, it’s been 20 years.
The only expansion I felt was deliberately trying to waste my time was Shadowlands. By far the worst leveling ever. No flying, no mount in the maw. Torghast walking simulator. Character was super weak cause no more corrupted gear.
I skipped shadowlands until pathfinder unlocked which was after all the BS timegating and stubborn refusals had been repealed. Their arrogance hasn’t diminished and they get what they deserve. No respect for my time = none of my time for them.
I think I was mountless in the maw for a day at most and unlocked flying within 2 weeks.
I think they’ve done lots to respect your time in all honesty.
My only issue with the xpac is professions and again with the boring activities instead of delivering something with more umpf and grandiose in flavor in it being also the 20th year mark.
The rest is a ‘me’ issue for not socializing etc…and having friends to play with… not being used to be on voice and all that since I’ve mostly ever been a solo player.
lol! I laughed at that quest too. Muttered “typical mage” under my breath and flew back to town. It was well done and a good reference to actually mage / player interaction.
I do not understand how a person with a job and family can play this game at mythic levels, have professions capped, the new engineering mount 2-30, and 5 level 80’s on day 7…
What does this even mean in the context of this whine. WHAT ‘casts’ are we talking here; please don’t talk about flight-mode switching that would simply show how much a fail this whine is.
I’m just sick of the “Pull out of the ground” mechanic where you have to click something and walk an arbitrary distance that is nothing but a time waster. And it is used like crazy this expack.
