True, I already Unsubbed don’t worry.
Nothing beats escaping from the reality of the rat race to my fantasy mmo where I send out applications and wait in queues.
For me, it’s still fun. I had tons of fun yesterday when I made an alt guild. I spent a couple of hours just inviting my alts and setting everything up.
Maybe when you played WoW as a video game, you weren’t pushing end game and trying to stay maxed out on everything, you just wanted to have fun with friends. Nothing has changed except you. You can still experience that if you want to. I experience it every day when I play. I log in for the express purpose of having fun and leaving the world behind.
edit For the record, I have 6 level 60’s and 5 of them are maxed on renown, with #6 getting close. The best geared one is only 194, which to me is just perfect.
I do.
15 years, that’s what happened.

WoW isn’t really a game anymore, it’s more of a structured list of chores, copied and pasted from expansion to expansion.
Really it’s a matter of whether or not you can turn yourself into enough of a bot to enjoy doing the exact same thing, not just day after day, but month after month, year after year. It isn’t very good and it also isn’t changing.
Those of us that just walk away are much better off.
everyone who does key above 15 do it because they think its fun, be it because they actually like to challenge themselves or because they like to compete with other players.
loot isn’t that lower and its actually higher then some past xpacs, considering that during BFA a lot players complained about too much loot this is their fault.
are you being punished or am I being rewarded? if you skip a week and I didn’t I’m glad there is something that I have and you don’t, how is this different than having a week worth of gear advantage against someone who choose not to raid that week?
I never use Video game as scapism. But I am sure that people often do, there is nothing wrong on It.
I am still having fun on WoW shadowlands, I just don’t touch torghast. I enhoy the maw and the other zones
I miss when the best way to get gear for raiding was by raiding, not doing PvP or M+, neither of which I care for but both of which the game expects you to grind to maximize your chances in the weekly vault raffle.
Do you ever remember a time back in the day when someone said “There’s nothing to do”? That person is what happened to wow. I’ve always been an explorer and collector so wow always had something for me to do outside of end game progression but not everyone wants to go and do all the quests in Felwood on each armor type to collect all the transmog from them. And that’s cool, I get that, so Blizz decided to give players something to do.
One might argue that there used to be more degrees of accomplishment though… not via difficulties, but via different guilds progressing up the content ladder at their own speeds.
It wasn’t everybody’s cup of tea, but there used to be those who were perfectly happy to screw around in ZG/MC/AQ20 or in Kara without going much further, because the progression was more of a side effect than a goal. Maybe that’s supposed to the point of modern day difficulties, but in practice the masses mostly glom onto the top or the bottom with the middle being mostly barren. And not to knock on LFR or anything, but it’s a far cry from guilds of old raiding the entry level raids.

That was boring. I prefer some game modes that fits on how I like to play.
raiding to me is incredible boring/difficult, and I am ok with having alternate paths

Go play Classic.
I’m fine with the best gear for the activity coming from the activity itself. They did great with PvP this time by adding actual PvP vendors so the best way to gear for PvP is to, that’s right, PvP.
I just want raiding to have the same consideration. If players like one specific activity, let them get the best gear for that activity by doing that and that alone.
It’d be like forcing people to do pet battles to get the best PvP gear or something…
The game stagnates for a bit. I haven’t played in nearly 2 months, and it’ll probably be closer to 3 before I get back to it, and everyone that’s been running in circles doing the same end-game stuff…I’ll be caught up to them in a matter of a couple weeks.
3 months off, 2-3 weeks to catch up. Doesn’t really seem like “falling behind”
It goes back to:
You’re expecting to keep up with everyone while the content is new and fresh. But it no longer is. Things are starting to be put on farm mode, and there’s no more progression to be had, which means there’s no more of a chance to fall behind

I don’t know. I like to expend time on all Facents of the game, So I am not at all fan of having different sets to different activities.
But if blizz add a vendor type for PvE would be good

It sounds like you’re caring too much about stuff that doesn’t matter. There is nothing to ‘fall behind’ on. Even if there was, who cares? It’s just a game.
Believe me, the game becomes much more enjoyable when you stop caring about the crap that streamers/guides/general discussion tells you to care about.
Who is honestly worried about falling behind? There are multiple soft resets of progression in every expansion, leaving you with quest rewards replacing loot from normal or higher raids from the last tier.
Which is just another part of the procedural, boring, structured list of WoW chores we have now.

Yeah, I used to love PvP but just like to raid these days. Not a fan at all of M+ so I’d much rather have a PvE vendor like PvP has.
A videogame is a game that you can play virtually
