WoW in 2025

[Vandamnit-moon-guard]

The game wouldn’t be a success if they brought back old school grinding now. People’s attention spans are minimal these days. In fact its giving me a headache even saying this much.

It was really the first ever game or application to truly utilize the early days of the internet

… and credibility gone. It wasn’t even the first MMO.

My main reason for this message is to put into perspective what wow needs to do in order for it to succeed for another 20 years. I really think wow needs to slowly revery back to the grindy aspect that classic wow was and include things like increasing the level at which you can get your first mount, slowing down leveling drastically, or just making it so you have to go to your class specific trainer to buy your spells. Its the little things like this that truly made WoW flourish back in the day and I think it could be what could make it flourish in today’s day in age.

A lot of players do not want that and will not put up with it. It has been tried, the numbers MASSIVELY dropped.

@Navethegreat-atiesh

I understand that people want the game to be easy but you have to understand that when you make the game easy it isn’t nearly as rewarding and really makes you question if the game is even worth it to continue playing.

No grinds make me question that, having fun alleviates that… if the game is not fun and is chore like to throws to many hurdles to interupt what I want to do, ill quit.

@Navethegreat-atiesh

really hope that every single one of you will share this message in one way or another and get this to Blizzard. Thank You.

I just disagree with you, I wont speak for others.

Wow is the best version it can be, sorry to say but your best wow is not the majorities best wow and that is why wow maintains multiple versions to play, so you can find the wow that best suits you.

No.

When Retail has extended maintenance, I will sometimes log into Classic. And I am immediately frustrated with the lack of quality of life improvements Blizz has put into the game over the years. I don’t want to have to remember to buy arrows for my hunter, or to use a whole bag slot just to store those arrows.

I don’t want to have to run back to a city to train a new spell. In fact, I used to deliberately not do that. I would just keep leveling until I had a bunch of spells to learn because I didn’t want to go back to Orgrimmar every other hour.

No, thank you.

I’m gonna start this off by saying that I really think Blizzard needs to see this.

If you think 2004 was the early days of the internet, you haven’t even lived 20 years yourself, and have no platform to comment on how something older than you should continue going.

That is absolutely not true.

Slow leveling and having to buy new spells from trainers do not make the game hard. Its just small tedious things that become irrelevant once you are leveled anyway. The only thing that going back to slow would accomplish is making it more annoying to level alts through content you’ve already done, or make new players feel like they will never be able to catch up to a level where they can play real content with other people.

Vanilla WoW was not hard, like not at all even a little bit. It was just slow and tedious, which was fine at the time when the whole concept of an online social persistent world was new and exciting, but that magic is gone now.
