Why are you guys in denial?

SL is not that popular according to social media. There are non-verifiable reports that UNDER half the player base is gone…

Fixed that for yah

As always, a lot of people get really mad if you don’t hate every aspect of WoW as much as they do.

Don’t you dare have the audacity to enjoy anything WoW related.

[Rektnova-area-52]

People defending Blizzard are seriously in denial . Look i have played WOW for years i assume so have many of you guys . The clownfiesta blizzard has pulled these last days has been the last straw for many of us. For My brother , my cousing and myself the last straw was what they did to the Argentinian accounts. You cant pay with any international method anymore so that means international students are gone so are the millitary. The silliest part is they cant even update their policy when u got to pay and they still allow you to select different billing address instead of just leaving Argentina dont believe me check yourself .

Idk … the more I see the more it’s kinda of like “There’s no way you enjoy anything about the game because these few things are terrible”

I have some MAJOR complaints about SL. But I’m pretty sure most people have major complaints about ever xpac since TBC. Does that mean we should hate the whole game because there are things about it we dont like? According to SM and GD … the answer is a resounding YES!!!

[Pringled-malganis]

The numbers are no different than BFA and Legion.

[Akston-area-52]

And I agree. There are definitely some issues of SL I would like to see changed. Definitely some decisions I do not agree with.

But there are also some decisions I liked and some forms of content I feel they did a good job on.

If I speak up about the few things I liked…then I am just a Blizzard paid employee posting on the forums.

[Toralici-thunderhorn (Toralici)]

I am by no means thrilled with certain aspects of the game. That being said, it is so much better than BfA. I find I have plenty to do to keep me occupied. Also being said, the fact that I have 5 alts at 60 and no real progression left this early worries me.
Even 9.2 seems like we are getting our ‘argus’ already. I hope they have big tricks up their sleeves.

Theres alot of people that get trapped in the “sunk cost/ sunk time” mentality where they dont want to admit something is bad because they have put years of their life into this game snd thousands of dollars.

If they admit that wow sucks all that money and time would have been for nothing. Wow was great, no doubt about it, but yes sll that time and money is gone now. So too is wows glory days. There is nothing wrong with facing the truth.

Activision is a greedy parasite that crawled into blizzard, hollowed it out from the inside, and now wears the skin suit to try and prrtend they are the great company of yesterday.

Billionaires dont need defending, and blizzard “its done when its ready” has been dead for years, please stop defending the parasite in the blizzard skin suit.

This, This, All of that, and the rest of what he said.

Reality.

good work op.

this sunday thread has got the most bites i’ve seen for a very long time.

[Khemical-smolderweb]

Its why I see Classic servers busting at the seams right now with so much going on In prep for TBC, new guilds firing up, lots of server events, Incendious Horde have a great new guild that does a ton of stuff together! “Apes together Strong” its an absolute blast …sure its classic and slow levelling and we’ve all been there and seen it but to be part of a community again that plays together is so much fun

I just wanted to point out that this game rakes in a lot of money, I don’t understand how they can fail to deliver on so many fronts. This shouldn’t be acceptable in any capacity, IMO.

This we agree on. Esp when it comes to just BALANCING classes.

It takes 5 mins to review the data to tell that, if you’re trying to get a ~5% range in DPS between best and worst… and you currently have an almost 30% range, then you need to be doing hotfixes. DAILY.

Instead, Blizz keeps with their approach: 6 weeks to do HUUUUGE, ham-fisted changes or nothing at all.

[Vhisic-caelestrasz]

not defending them, SL has major issues. but the drop on player numbers is totally normal for this point in any given xpac.

[Flexseal-thrall]

The biggest mark of the Covenant system’s failure IMO is their unwillingness to balance it properly right now, because they don’t want to ruin the feel of Covenants that players already feel locked into.

Balancing is a HUGE issue in Shadowlands, and it makes the player agency within their content nearly nonexistent. It’s just so frustrating.

I wager that you don’t necessarily care much about aesthetics or story? I believe that people who generally don’t and are only here to do some group content with friends are the remaining players that are still having a good time. I could be entirely wrong though.

I fall into this category.

@Gokusucks-sargeras

Stop defending Acti-Bliz like they are paying you free sub time to do so.

Maybe it’s just that most of the people who are still here are the ones who don’t hate SL?

[Lilithia-nagrand (Lilithia)]

Shadowlands was awesome when it first came out, but it looks like it’s going to be another WoD sadly.

[Vegetasucks-sargeras]

did not expect this post to blow up…

I’d be really interested to know how many people are left that are in the same boat I am.

I absolutely hate Shadowlands. It’s not fun for me, even leveling from 50 to 60 isn’t fun another time. Something about this entire expansion is just dull and unattractive.

And people are like “well, if you don’t like it, just leave.”

But I don’t hate WoW, I just hate Shadowlands. I’m really enjoying the leveling revamp. I just made a new Warlock and took him through the entirety of the Ghostlands story for the first time since, like, BC. I absolutely love this game, I just hate the newest part of it.

So, I mean, I’m still playing WoW, I’m just not really playing Shadowlands.

[Kissmytotéms-proudmoore]

this is the real truth and everyone knows it no one’s saying the game is dead but it sure ain’t in a good place. and as mad as some players are they might just stay tbc for awhile especially if they actually start having fun there. and ya it does matter if you do endgame content. cause big amounts of players quitting affect it greatly.
