Why isn't fun a factor in WoW's game design?

Community General Discussion

Because a lot of the decisions Blizzard is making aren’t making the game more fun, they are just transparently making the game grindier.

Things like removing Bonus Rolls, and removing The Flightmaster’s Whistle. Neither of these things were done in the name of fun, they were done to cut us off at the knees so we consume content slower.

It’s just massively disappointing, because right now I should be hyped about the new things coming in Shadowlands, not angry about the things being removed.

If you like running around tediously on your mount, you can do that now, you don’t have to use The Flightmaster’s Whistle.

If you like being at the mercy of RNG, you don’t have to buy bonus roll tokens.

They just need to remove 2 systems which are conduits and scaling. I should be the master of killing boars by now they need to be one-shotted

Then why reply at all? Just a fanboy troll defending Blizzards honor without any thought beyond that?

Kind of goes both ways, doesn’t it?

So you currently don’t use a Flightmaster’s Whistle or Bonus Roll tokens? Ya, I don’t believe you.

I honestly think your characters damage should be tied to the amount of friends and friendship points you make in WoW

The designers know what’s fun, not us players.

Ya, they are really leaning hard into the “You think you do, but you don’t” mentality.

Because fun is never subjective.

Ya, but fun isn’t even a factor in this conversation. It’s obviously not about making the game more fun.

The real Champion of Azeroth was all the friends we made along the way!

Because there’s no metric for fun. They have metric for time played, about which they say “heh, close enough”

I’ll be having fun :man_shrugging:

Fun is subjective though, is the major issue here. There is no universal fun, even bedroom time some people don’t enjoy.
