I’m happily spending time leveling my soon to be main - my Maghar Orc Outlaw Rogue. 8.1, at level cap, is just more of the same. So I find my time is entirely more useful capitalizing on the XP nerf to hopefully play a more enjoyable character in the very near future.

raid logging and playing other games

43

Old raids with friends, for some reason we still find them really fun + sick transmogs.

World quests if the emissary reward looks decent and has a chance to TF.

M+ most of the time when I log on. I have a 120 pally, druid and DK so far, so it’s pretty easy to find a group with one of them to get going.

Running around looking for alliance.

Cleaning up the story quests and actually reading the hilarious text the writers spend time putting into this game.

Exploring the new zones in all their majesty!

There are more things I have been doing, but these are the main ones.

  1. Telling myself that I should be doing things during this downtime but procrastinating anyways.
  2. When I can remember and get the energy, farming out mounts for reps/raids that I did almost 6 years ago.
  3. Thinking of ways on how to level my 110s, without suffering through the backported world quest design of questing (quests feel like they were designed after world quests, rather than the other way around) or putting myself at a disadvantage by leveling through IEs.
  4. Falling asleep in my chair while playing WoW.
  5. Scrambling for 370 gear after not playing for 2 months.
  6. Watching your Boi get schooled by even greater no-life’s.

I farmed argus rep and got my allied races, besides that I am either playing D3 with guildmates now, or playing some other games. Nothing to do now on wow until raid drops.

46

I haven’t done this in years, but back in the day… And I still get razzed about it now. But damn that chair was comfy. Was made by Samsonite and I haven’t seen one since.

Playing less. Left with a “what’s the point?” feeling when I actually log in.

My sub runs out today, last month I resubbed 'cause I admitted to myself I’m bored. But it was the wrong reason to just sub to the game 'cause none of it was a game issue, just me issue.

Would a fun/proper Guild change my perspective?

I’ll probably spend the bulk of it raiding and leveling up alchemy.

But, I’ve never leveled alts during an expansion before and usually just focus on one character the whole time. I’m having a really hard time enjoying logging into my main and doing much outside of logging in for raid nights. So I thought I’d go outside my comfort zone and level some classes I’ve never played before. :slightly_smiling_face:

Nah those people are jealous of being able to sleep on demand. A comfy chair or arm position always beats out a bed for me. Feels natural as passing out during biochemistry at university.

I will say though that the severe depreciation of secondaries in this game really has hampered my willingness to play. The damage done to haste, my most favorite stat, makes playing at times a real chore.

51

I’d do that, IF they just opened up zandalari trolls. THAT would have made this patch great - just that - missed opportunity.

52

same routine I had during Warlords. login realize there’s nothing I want to do and then I go play Skyrim.

53

I’m used to the stat cycle. Happens every other expac, basically. By the end of this expac you’ll be feeling decent and the next one will be amazing. And then will come the doldrums. However… If they would balance the classes properly instead of trying to fit the classes around the new gimmick, then it’d be a lot better.

54

I’ve been grinding warfronts for transmog, grinding faction assaults and WQs for service medals and grinding Honorbound rep for more service medals. Those service medal rewards aren’t going to buy themselves. :slight_smile: I’m at 248 medals.

55

At the moment I’m suffering WoW withdrawl because I’m visiting relatives and doing real world stuff for a week.

56

I didn’t really feel it going into WoD even though I was wearing normal 522 gear before I stopped playing a bit before 5.4 (got the heirloom staff on my mage) and few normal/heroic pieces. Constant progression the whole way even while I was losing the effects of my cloak.

Stat depreciation aka the focus on main stat which has a better correlation with ilvl is what has really soured my leveling experience. Actually makes me apprehensive and evasive about leveling a 2nd character because of the dread stat requirements that shoot up a level or two after you lose your legendaries. The gameplay at that point was terrible and didn’t want me to get involved in my character.

57

True. In this reset they went in to make 2ndary stats NOT a thing and thereby made the opposite happen. Remember, balance spec/classes FIRST then add the gimmick. When you don’t, weird and mostly bad things happen.
