Your #1 regret

Not dropping $20,000 on Apple Stock in 2004.

Regretting on the fact that I’ve boosted 5 alts to 110 back in Legion.

It was in Legion that I was slowly opening up about liking alts since I am (still am) very reclusive to sticking with one avatar.

Legion brought me the interests for classes & helped me to stay out of that comfort zone. The class halls were magnificent and each unique to their theme and class-related quests which enough felt immersive & intriguing altogether. The AP hardly seemed to bother & the class mission tables compensated enough for me to obtain gold and AP over time whilst enjoying the exploration.

Now here in BFA I deleted them all & still sticking with my Paladin main. This Azerite bs and essences grinding just killed me enough to not wanting to enroll on alts, let alone the lack of on-going allied race quests that I felt they were so short & scraped it left room to no immersion. So much I’d like to know about them…so much of their history and how developing they still are just like class-hall quests back in Legion.

Overall, I feel the ship sunk deeper with BfA than it did with WoD or so so I find it. Legion had it good, what happened to bfa devs?

Yup…alt boosting regret alright…won’t regret the experience I have with them though

My only regret,is that I have…

bone-itis.

I regret wasting tons of gold on leveling Inscription back in Wrath, never made any gold with it and Blizzard has significantly hurt the glyph market with the various changes they’ve made over the years.

Regret not getting the Grove Warden.

Of all the things I missed out on (like WoD and MoP challenge modes) I was fully aware of what I had to do to get it, I definitely had the gold to buy a carry at the end of the expack, just chose not to.

I also missed out on ā€˜of the Black Harvest’ but at least I tried. I failed miserably, had like 30 attempts before I determined I was (still am) no good at lock.

Reading the forums usually…

I regret having started playing world of warcraft. It sounds silly but you can’t stop thinking about what other things you could have done over the 14-15 years instead of playing the game. It’s mostly that I’m really salty about BfA.

Not being there for the drama of my guild break up. They were the top dog then.

Hahaha!! Ditto!

Missed mine during ventrilo era, the shouts, the macho players , the ā€œfemaleā€ voice everyone goes nuts, it’s like tv reality WoW dr Phil

Defining regret as something that is ongoing and gnaws at me rather than those ā€œUgh! I can’t believe I did (didn’t) do thatā€ kind of things, then there are things I wish I’d done more wisely or compassionately as well as opportunities I didn’t take or even know to take but I’ve learned from them to become a better fellow player and person, so no regrets.

Most of the ppl I’ve met. /shrug

That is a shame. I was finding so many of those during the pre-lich king event that I was destroying them and I didn’t keep one of them because of bag space at the time.

Readings these forums and seeing grow adults argue like children over small things in a video game.

It really is sad.

Not getting the original ZG raptor and tiger mounts. Though I really should blame RNG and Blizz for unnecessarily removing content, I guess I could have tried with extra characters. My saddest day in this game was when I did my last lockout before it was removed and they didn’t drop. It meant that I literally had wasted all my time and effort. I know I could get it in BMAH now, but I’m not big on raising the gold. I could regret that too.

Being a part of the reason a guild broke up.

Well honestly OP, as it’s a social game, my biggest regret is having fallout with friends, letting things get out of hand that I could have handled much better…people I might have offended/hurt, even if it wasn’t my intention. There is so much I would do differently…that’s definitely my number 1 regret.

I mean don’t get me wrong, wow has been good for being a social game, and I think it’s part of game that personalities will clash, perhaps that’s just part of life we have to accept that we are going to hurt people, even people we care about deeply even when it’s not our intention. Maybe that’s just something I need to make peace with.

In terms of gameplay, I regret never getting out of Mulgore when I first started playing all those years ago but Classic has made up for that. It’s just starting in Cata was awful as everyone at the time made me feel that I had JUST missed out on the game. In hindsight though, I will be honest, Retail wow is not really that bad, and the cata revamps aren’t that bad either, nor is the dungeon finder as it made leveling alts much easier, I honestly can’t see myself leveling too many alts on Classic lol though I may do a few.

I also regret not taking full advantage of the Gold Rush period of Warlords of Draenor. That would have solved a few financial problems for me as I get tokens to keep playing. That said, my income is a lot more under control now in real life so I should be okay.

Missing out on legion, because that honestly seemed like a really cool time to play WoW.

Softsong this is how wow works…

Ever since Cata, it’s gone like this.

Bad expansion, good expansion, bad expansion, good expansion. We are up to bad expansion again.

Next one is going to be awesome.
