Never feeling anymore powerful despite getting much better gear. In fact, it’s the opposite in a lot of cases (up to a certain point). Blizzard does a poor job with this.

At this stage, it’s bugs in game. There are just more than usual in this expac. Some are still game breaking and there is no way to get around it.

The ridiculous grind. Whether its amina or renown or ash or whatever. Its just boring.

Duplicates in my weekly vault.
Loot got nerfed because of this? Seriously?

I’ve already quit.
I bought Shadowlands way back when BfA was ending but I haven’t even started it yet. Just lost interest. Found other games that I’m really enjoying. Eventually I’ll start Shadowlands but for now I’m simply not interested.

Busted balance.

This kind of talk made me quit!
Jk. It was WoD.
Flying having some crazy requirements or the maw becoming mandatory would be the likely cause of me leaving again.
This is actually an alarming issue.
Blizzard had clarified that GV would not have duplicated item. I was excited. And as it turns out it won’t have duplicates within itself, but does not take into consideration what you already have and equipped. I should’ve known better.

I can’t put my finger on it. I could do menial rep grinds in Vanilla and BC like nobody’s business and enjoy it, and have fun spamming Heroic dungeons in Wrath for hours; I’m not sure where the disconnect here is, but I just don’t feel the soul in the game anymore.

There are a bunch of little things that add up to be honest. There is not one big thing really. The biggest thing that really set up the ball rolling downhill was Horrific Visions and corruption.
When they released Visions for the first time we were literally grinding out a currency just so we could run a scenario to grind out another currency. It really showed the level of contempt they have for the player base.

That’s a big part of it. Many things feel like we’re being punished for playing.

I have a feeling endless covenant content repetition for pitifully small, random amounts of currency needed to buy anything is probably what is going to do me in this expansion.

For me, the game suddenly lost the “hook” that justified putting up with its negatives.

most of the people that actually quit wont be able to post here.
The absolute lack of ANY communication is worrying, we should be seeing what the next patch has planned… or any discussion… so far we have nothing.

In the third quarter of 2020 , Activision Blizzard’s net income amounted to 604 million U.S. dollars. In that same quarter, the company reported 1.95 billion U.S. dollars in revenue.
One person in charge of class design/balance.

I’ve found things to love about every expansion so far, but I’m really having a hard time with Shadowlands. It just feels like there’s not enough to do, like I must be missing something. What is there just feels tedious and punishing most of the time. I quit for a couple weeks and came back, mostly because I live in podunk South Dakota and there’s jack and crap to do. I stopped paying with cash though, and when I run out of gold I’ll probably just let it lapse. With the way ore prices are tanking that’s probably not going to be long!

That it is difficult to set predictably achievable goals. And what few predictable goals that do exist are timegated.
Boredom, frustration, and a terrible customer service experience clinched it for me. There are only a few days left in my sub and by this point I doubt I’ll ever resub.

Honestly it’s not one thing, but an accumulation of things
- Poor class balancing around things that aren’t raiding
- Poor gear progression for m+ players (actually, literally none. you can get 210 and then pray to jesus you win the lottery every week. this is actually probably the #1 reason I’m done Shadowlands)
- The loot changes. Seriously it doesn’t feel good. I can go 15 dungeons in a row and get nothing only to finally get a terribly stated piece of gear. And since then I’ve gotten only anime from every dungeon. I don’t care about anime.
- AoE cap. Worse than the GCD change. Stupid change for stupid reasons
- The sheer number of bugs. It’s frustrating to be in a timed key only to fail because the dungeon bugged completely out
- The time gating (whoever thought time gating player power behind player renown was a good idea should probably not be designing things)
- The entire covenant system is a mess. I should be able to freely change them based on what spec or form of content I want to play. I shouldn’t have to consider leveling 2 different shamans if I want to try different specs
Honestly, my list could go on. I try to stick around because of the people I play with and I’m a raid leader but I’m not sure I can. This expansion is not fun.

-Tedious and unrewarding content.
-WQ are bugged. Well, A LOT is bugged.
-Travel time between zones is waaaay too long after BC, Wrath, MoP, WoD, Legion and BFA (whoever thought of 5 zones unconnected should be fired today)
-One of the things that really irked me was the 2nd Vault - 7 bosses? - and I’m an LFR casual which is divided into 3/3/3/1.
-Mission table is terrible.
