But that made it even MORE fun

Welcome to beta test on live. Did you think the pre-patch event was for players? It is for the devs to have a change to tune what they can based on real play on live servers.

Thatâs exactly what I did. Iâm choosing to not be part of this crap until they fix it. It made me immediately log off

I do as well. I guess thatâs why weâve both been playing WoW for 20 years now.

Whatâs kind of baffling is they layer some events, like the diablo one, and have done similar activities for other prepatches that went well but had the bosses spawn more than once. So how this managed to get through in this state is justâŚbizarre.

Thereâs someone whoâs job it is over at Blizz HQ to ask the question: âBy just how much can we time-gate the playerbase before they riot?â. This guy probably gets paid 150k a year to do the math on this.

This is why I skipped most of Cata, MoP and WoD and only played for the first couple weeks then bounced out.
BFA, Shadowlands and DF not much different.
Iâmma be playing more in TWW though because I like the solo content theyâve done before. The instanced solo stuff they do recently has been better than the outdoor world and for me, arguably better than the raids. The raids feel like walking simulators to me, thereâs too much traveling in between pulls and the trash doesnât drop BoPs anymore, I donât find it as fun as it used to be.
Their outdoor stuff is unplayable to me, I canât stand it. It could give Mythic track loot and I still wouldnât do it.

Itâs annoying to see the same mistakes made time and time again, when we know they can do way better because they have done just that before.

Yeah this is the worst event ever. I imagine that someone said âjust throw something togetherâ and they took that literally.

Hard disagree. I didnât see the other post(s) so this one has value. What we didnât need was your negative comment that provided nothing to this thread.

We honestly need as many posts about this as possible. They need to understand just how much the average player hates this event.

This is correct. Did the Onyxia one, soooo damn laggy. Some of my spells hit, I saw dmg on the dmg meter. No credit at all.

Yo, yes we do. And we will keep posting them until Blizzard gets off their a$$ and fixes it.

Legion prepatch was the best ever, just killing mad demons and getting loot, right outside orgrimmar back gate, I think i leveled every toon to max within 2 weeks.

Weekly Quest for a 4 week event
Gear drops ignoring Lootspec or class entirely
The 6 memory events being over before you even reach them
The Cost of catchup items vs the rewards obtained per event (500 per boss, see below as well)
The Laughably low rate of acquisition outside of the events (1 for a regular, 5 for an âeliteâ)
Initial starting window of 1.5 hours; Even if this will be reduced gradually over time itâs still absurd to choose 90 minutes as your starting point.
The weekly quests need to be daily, or at the very least a daily needs to be added & the rates for farming outside of the boss events needs to be dramatically increased.

Outdoor content feels far worse generally than it used to be to me. My favorite times in WoW are questing, gathering mats and grinding for drops, without, frankly, thinking too much about it.
Well, mobs seldom drop anything anymore, too many quests are convoluted messes, often requiring going to the web to even figure out what they mean, and even gathering has turned into bag filled messes.
And in the end, outdoor content seems designed for raiders to do whilst not raiding, and players like me are flat out of luck. Iâve seen this downward trend since BFA, so it really isnât a surprise that this prepatch features just about everything i hate about this game right now.

Itâs this part that is the most maddening. The poor decisions for this event feel arbitrary at best, and antagonistic at worst, especially when they have ALREADY LEARNED THESE LESSONS, AND RECENTLY with MoP Remix.
