Been back for about a week, finally giving TWW a shot out of curiosity… already running out of steam, and getting annoyed with how the entire endgame is structured.
Despite the promises of the plot getting better, it’s marginal. I see improved technique, but the plot itself is looking extremely thin and is disappointingly short. I saw some compilation videos on Youtube, I was shock to see they were not just highlights - they were the ENTIRE BLOODY STORY.
Delves? Having beaten the Underpin this evening and gotten the transmog set I want, I might already be done with them. I dislike the idea that they’re another bloody system rather than just locations to explore, to delve, at my leisure for the sake of exploration. Not do do a semi-randomized dungeon.
LFR is LFR. A fun little romp, but not much else to it. I guess I do it more for a shot at fun gear pieces, but that’s mostly handled by the cartel chip system; though I’m annoyed that you get three the first week and only one after that, which is annoying as hell and consistency would be better than a “door arrival bonus”.
I’ll never do another M+ dungeon again after determining the system was crap during Legion. Really don’t care for anything else in the endgame content loop, and I completely hated the Horrific Visions in BfA; probably more the farming of vessels/keys to access them, but I genuinely didn’t care for the visions themselves.
… but to give WoW some credit, the gameplay is still fun. Punchy and responsive, with lots of fun procs that can go off all over the place. Next thing I plan to work on is leveling a pally to 80 to see how many hammers the Templar hero spec can create.
Not the biggest fan of the messy encounter design, I’m much more partial to FFXIV’s dances, but I can WoW them some points for uniqueness. The kicking the bombs into adds during the Underpin fight being an easy example… but that also made dodging the attacks relatively trivial as well.
At this point… I guess I’ll just level a few alts and chip away at farming some transmog appearances. Maybe take another shot at the “do all the story of WoW on a new character” thing again, or pick up where a couple of the characters were left off.
A diversion while I take a break from other games, you could say.

I like collecting things, dressing up dollies, and creating stories in my head, so RPGs are for me. I’m here because I’m having fun. Times that I don’t have fun, I stop playing.

Still havent found a game that can match wow’s battleground pvp and combat smoothness while also including an open world and not just a faceless lobby where your opponents are just a nametag

Im retired so its just something to pass the time. And the combat system is fairly good. Nostalgia im sure also plays its part.

I have friends that are now scattered around the country. Over time life has happened, spouses kids etc. that have reduced how often we can get together.
Wow gives us a vehicle and a reason to get together each week. Without wow I’m quite sure we would have slowly drifted apart.

I play wow because they promised me that I would get a girlfriend if I get enough levels, I’m still waiting my reward.

I need something for spare time that isn’t too mindless but isn’t too time consuming. I’m not a fan of people but I like being around them. Wow gives that to me with delves, working towards mounts and transmog, pvp and raid when I feel like it, quests, achievements, things to do…

Hmmnnnn…
I like collecting stuff.Mainly mounts that I could be more dilligent on such as Invisible.Still working on clearing the 35, I’m at like 315,317 in that range.
I enjoy Delving and WQ’s and what not.
But really what keeps me going is for one, for the life of me I cannot find another game I can really get into, not for lack of trying. I mean there is Planet Coaster 2 but that’s when I upgrade my pc again and in no rush .
But I also like pushing myself with what I do.
And lastly, there’s been so many years I’ve invested as well as many ,many others .
Including also that some may counter this but honestly it helps my mental health.
If having a particularly nasty day with my head, I know I can always come and log in to the game and enjoy myself.

My wife and I play together. She doesn’t like the more tense games like Helldivers, so WoW fits that bill nicely. We don’t mess with mythics but we do delves, timewalking, transmog runs, farming and fishing trips, that kind of thing. Makes it a pleasant way to chill out together that doesn’t involve us just staring at our phones or watching TV.

This right here. The ability to get current mythic tier appearances completely solo has me hooked.
I also have to admit to a certain degree of nostalgia. Ever so often I’ll revisit zones throughout the world, the entire world (of warcraft) take in the music and the atmosphere.

Hubby and I revisit old content more than we play current. There’s something weirdly comforting questing in Silverpine.

A few of my chars (like this one) have existed for ~20 years and I’m attached to them.
It’s a game that’s reasonably fun and I can play for a bit and blow off steam after work.
I have no desire to learn a new game, and don’t really play anything else, save for some simpler nintendo games with my kids.

I’m addicted. That and the short shot of accomplishment once some mount that’s on its 2nd year of being farmed drops and seeing some Achievement pop up because I worked hard for it. When I remember that I was working on it because I’m mount farming.
Hi, I’m an addict. Send Zero Sugar Mountain Dew to help me break free. Thank you. And remember, Zero Sugar .

I love making new characters. Chromiewalking in particular renewed the game for me, even though early levels feel a bit wonky compared to SL and DF. And of course PvP is my end goal.
I still think they should’ve kept the level cap at 60 and just reverted max level characters to 50 every new expac.
