Really it sucks. It just sucks. All the time gating and boring content galore. Please fix this game

You’re not the only one. Day after patch day, there were 8 people logged into WoW on my FL. It’s better than the usual 5, but still.

I feel you, like a lot of other players, are bored because Blizzard has a game making philosophy that’s based on thinning out their content - to stretch out the gaming experience as to reel players in and keep them in, waiting, so they can make more money. What’s funny is that this same philosophy is what’s losing them money and driving players away. /moo

I’d rather do everything in a day and have a pretty great day than do something for an hour and be dissapointed that i have to wait for something that is functional and exists in game but they feel the need to gate to keep my sub active

I feel the exact same way Mordares. Back when WOW was very fun and engaging Blizzard would release multiple raids with a single installment of content. But that raid content was so tremendously hard that it would take the community months, delving into that one installment, to finally be competitive in said raids. I wish Blizzard would revert back to this game making philosophy. /moo

I miss these days too bud. Back when you had to actually CC and play your role in a dungeon. Now everything is #SpamAoE #FaceRoll

Agreed - the game used to be more tailored to the true MMORPG players. Now we are playing WOW in a time where Blizzard is not only about money but tailoring to the casuals. Not that casuals shouldn’t be kept in mind, but the game should not revolve around casual game play. It feels in BFA that, even if you’re a hardcore player, every caliber of player is at about the same power and skill level. That’s no fun. It’s the “everyone gets a trophy” mind set that hurts this game.

I just resubbed after a couple months break. I logged in, saw more time gating and a little sliver of content and I didn’t even feel like doing it. Going to just cancel again until Zandalari are out. One of the things I wanted most from this EP and it’s still not in the game. It’s ridiculous. I miss patches like 3.1.

I am literally doing the exact same thing as I was a week ago, only now my running animation looks stupid. I will play the new warfront a bit when we get it then cancel my 2 accounts. I’m not paying for 6 more weeks of the same thing I was bored of over a month ago. I think I’m about done until Classic.

I’m having quite a bit of fun, still several things I haven’t even dipped into yet, like LFR or the new pet dungeon. Hell, I never got around to going into the Deadmines PB yet.

The blood elf heritage armor scenario was a nice walk through history. I am a fancy, fancy elf now. :sunglasses:

While I am sure the heritage scenario was dope to play through, you are a minority among most wow players. We’re all burned out and this RNGfest has us all fed up.

It really would be better to speak for yourself and not claim to know what the majority (most of whom don’t use or post on the forums) feel. As a very casual player I’m having a lot of fun and haven’t come close to running out of fun things to do.

I think you think your General Discussion brethren are more numerous than reality would reflect. This is a self-selected echo chamber, most people don’t go out of their way to go to a place to sing praises, they go out of their way to complain.

My bnet friends list, and irl friends group who played wow beg to differ with you.

Because the content added wasn’t all that much, and some of it should have been included at launch.

And my BNet friends list and irl friends group that play WoW beg to differ with you. All that proves is that we tend to associate with those that have similar perspectives. Neither my friends list or yours are accurate gauges of how the majority of players feel about the game or patch.

WHY AM I BORED A DAY INTO A MAJOR PATCH?

I had a teacher that used to tell us that we were not bored we were boring. What that meant was we didn’t pursue engagement.
