This Game Is Deader Than Ever

Is it just me or does this game feel completely dead? I had my friends come back a couple weeks ago just to quit right after because they said, “They ruined PvP” (because PvP ilevel is now meaningless). I look at the queues for groups and there’s just a small fraction of the amount there were at this point in BFA or even SL. Not to mention the groups you do get have players whom are significantly worse at the game than they’ve ever been.

Is anybody else getting the vibe that the player numbers have dropped off a cliff? The game just feels so dead to me now… Plus the fact that they’re already offering “Free weekends” tells me they’re in desperate need of new players.

No I’m talking about live servers. This is just my classic character.

Anecdotally, I agree that there are less people around in general than there was at launch but that is to be expected since we are 4 months into the season. We will probably see an uptick on the 21st with 10.07 launch.

But with that being said, my raid has only lost 3 people this season which is a really good retention rate compared to the last 2 x-packs.

Not being funny… it is just you.

The game is pretty alive and after yesterday’s announcements alone is only going to get even more alive. This is actually one of the most exciting time for Retail since Legion.

The amount of actual feedback being listened to and implementing is insane.

When you fill your post with meaningless, inflated and even untrue fluff, I just can’t take you seriously.

It may depend on your server, but it seems quite alive to me.

I dunno. I kinda agree. Sometimes I log in, look at my character selection screen for a min and then just log out, grab a few cans of Busch and turn on Tucker. Its good to stay up on current events.

No one will ever take some alt that seriously as you hide behind it for the purpose of either trolling or being disingenuous. For all we know your opinion on PvP is from the perspective of someone who can’t past 500 rating.

Oh, man. You mean I’m doing keys with dead people?

How exactly was I hiding behind an alt? I haven’t actually used these forums in quite some time so it defaulted me to the alt. In either case, I’m still participating in PvP to a limited degree but my friends literally subscribed for a month and quit instantly. I guess the WoW forums probably aren’t the best place to post though considering the only people who can post here are the ones still hooked and subscribed. It’s okay though with people being this toxic I may be joining my friends soon anyway since I see this kind of toxicity spread all throughout this game.

I dunno Illidan seems as busy as ever

Well you posted on an alt. Most people just assume someone is trolling and not looking to have a genuine conversation.

I think the game is what you make of it. You apparently play a lot based on your Achievements, but as someone who played and done a lot in FFXIV for example and did almost everything, I stopped playing because I did everything I wanted to accomplish.

30k achievements I’d wager you’ve done a lot and rather than the game being dead, perhaps you’ve just done all that you wanted to.

okay bye

Sorry your troll thread didn’t get the bites you were hoping for.

Doesn’t seem all that dead to me? Still can find people to do m+ or do stuff in the world. why the other day the horde was grouping up to siege dragonbane keep and not letting the alliance near so a few of us started recruiting people and we ended up murderating the horde out of it. Was pretty fun! Even ended the event as an assassin!

And then i cowardly hearthed back to valdrakken before every rogue within a 50 mile radius showed up.

This is the exact type of toxicity I was referring to. It’s almost like players have so little left to do in the game all they can do now is pick on each other. It’s pretty disgusting tbh.

You made a thread with a whole bunch of deliberately provoking comments with a clickbait title.

Get off the high horse, it’s already dead.
