You don’t do this anyways bloody. So it doesn’t matter what they add.
I run a guild with a lot of like minded people so I can at least make the transmog runs fun
I don’t find too many issues with dragonflight. I am not a serious wow player, I won’t raid or do high M+ keys or anything serious.
I stick with pet battles, farming storms, and other non serious content. I am enjoying DF very much since I have a progression path that I can do it on my time.
This game becomes much more fun if you stop keeping up with Jones’
The trading post is a bad idea but a necessary evil in a way. Since they already cater to players like you obviously based on your complaint, they need to add more things for people who do not give a about group content. This is 1 of those things albeit a very nasty and ugly thing, if anything this is actually against any casual player who would care to keep playing.
What they need to do is add more content for all play styles and actually let solo players be viable in their own way without having to ever rely on group content. They really need to ignore GD actively(good thing they mostly do this) because people here and their dismissive attitude is exactly why the game’s player base is dying. We keep being told to group up or quit and that’s just an entirely stupid mindset to even have.
It’s more like he’s been saying “people who feel the way I do will leave on mass” for over a year now, yet he has both bought Dragonflight, and continues to sustain a sub.
So literally every expansion’s issue.
It’s the classic forum take of “My pet issue is the thing that’s single handedly going to kill the game”
it means i hope people are able to recognize when they’re being psychologically manipulated for profit
So essentially every business ever.
The subscription made sense up until they started blatantly using the store to make up for bleeding subs
The store barely has anything in it.
from somebody who played since BC, the game is a shadow of it’s former self
I’ve been playing since vanilla and think you are dead wrong.
They dont even really give new players a full sense of the story anymore
I mean, yea, it’s just the new blizzard seal of quality that looks more like trash
Thats why I said the greatness was lost and so was the sense of adventure
It’s just another tactic to make you play longer. I don’t see it offering anything other than mostly doing the same things again and again.
Oh its definitely going to be a checklist of things we’ve done a thousand times and will do a thousand more, but adding that added reason to do it entertains the brain and makes you feel like you have a reason to be doing it yet again
and that’s the great trick. I judge games based on my fun factor. Am I having fun playing this. Not will I be slightly happy at the end of playing this for 100’s of hours because I get a goody. It’s all in the skinner box experiments, I keep saying
It’s like watching an A.I. chatbot talk to itself.
Trading post should include actual gear and not transmog only. Then it will be worth it to us solo players especially.
i’m talking about people that otherwise would quit if they weren’t being held captive by fomo, sunk cost, or a hoarding disorder.
Held captive? Hoarding disorder? This feels a tad hyperbolic.
It’s just a game. Why do you care if people play or not? You act like it’s some terrible thing if someone wants to while away their spare time playing WoW.
It’s. Just. A. Game.
Why do you care if people play or not?
These people personalities have become “I don’t like wow so I have to keep paying blizzard to let everyone know they shouldn’t like wow”
Their whole life revolves around the fact they have nothing in life and they lost interest in wow so now no one can like it.
The purpose of the trading post isn’t to get people to play. It’s to get them to log in once a month to increase the MAU’s reported on the quarterly report.
Bingo!
I dont dislike wow, I dont agree with all the decisions made to the game but I still enjoy it for what it is now. Its definitely lost a lot of the joy and depth it used to have but that doesnt mean I hate it or its a bad game
Some posters in here take my post history personally.
Projecting much. Theres more than 2 people who agree on the motives for the TP. Is two people agreeing now only an artificial phenomenon?
No, youre just mad because we’re right.
The point of a post is usually to start a discussion and you will of course have people with differing opinions on both sides of the arguement
That’s the point. They don’t want you to play. They want you to be subbed and come back every month. All they care about is that 15$ a month. That’s it.
That much is clear, because the game can’t retain players by its gameplay alone, its just not that fun, so they need to make rewards people will suffer through the gameplay to get.
joy and depth
First one is subjective and the second one is just an outright lie.
And it’s weird you felt the need to defend yourself against my post. I was talking about the mentally ill posters like ard and murdercarpet who don’t actually have anything outside of wow. Their life is spiraling because they don’t like wow.
My bad I thought you were talking about Athcaelas and I
Projecting much. Theres more than 2 people who agree on the motives for the TP.
There’s no nefarious motivations outside of your own warped perspective. It’s literally an incentive program and multiple mmos have similar if not outright identical things in place.

Pretty sure this a tos violation.
