Glad to hear you're doing well and good luck with returning to studying! I feel ya on the wow stuff, I'd planned originally to take 9.2 off to enjoy it as a player and not a content creator but I have zero interest to even jump in as a player. Maybe next expansion will change my mind but i'm doubting that. Endwalker has been awesome to just play though, pugging savage is rough but overall enjoy the more relaxed process, I can play without a massive to-do list. Honestly I think the only game that might pull me back to content creation is riots MMO but thats so far away and they have to get it right
Ayyyy good hearing from you as well!!! Wow can really take some things from FF and instantly make the game better I don't understand why they don't. I am also really looking forward to Riots MMO but yah like you said thats so far away
I'm not a raider anymore, but I did end up quitting wow until 10.0 at least. I've played on and off since 2005 and I thought I'd miss it more, but it was actually really easy to adapt to not playing. Playing less grindy and frustrating games is a relief. I'm kind of thankful even that I branched out to find games that fit my playstyles better.
Let us suppose, for a moment, that you had shoulders somewhere on your body that doesn't normally have shoulders. Would you keep said shoulders or would you rather have $500,000? That being said, I didn't know you weren't going to raid in 9.2! My night is truly and utterly ruined! But you gotta do what you gotta do and I support you man!
DEAL! Yah I mentioned it to def awhile back. Personally I wanted to do it sooner but I already committed to this tier as raid leader and it didn't sit right with me just ditching you guys lol
Don’t have too much to add tbh, hit the nail right on the head with wow. People wanna play, but the devs incompetence makes to what the players want makes it impossible to even enjoy. But just wanted to let you know I do enjoy the channel and I’m sure many others along with me will agree that we will watch no matter the content. Good luck w/ your cyber security classes by the way. I know that winter break ends in just a couple more days for me until classes resume so, best of luck.
Now that the xpac has been announced, you should make a video about your thoughts an opinions on what we know so far. Ranging from the announcement, and going thru all the interviews.
Dude, your content is really great ! Everyone have life anyway so dont feel like u owe us anything ! You did pretty nice video guides so Thank you for that !
good to see you back man, missed your videos. your mount guide/solo guides helped me A LOT and you discussion based videos are also fucking amazing. easily the most underrated content creator with your unique personality/talking. hope u recover smoothly from covid and remember your physical and mental health is WAY more important than getting mad over incompetency of blizzard devs over and over. i quit in 9.1 for the first time since i started playing WoW (in legion pre patch) because i thought the game was dogshit. recently just resubbed because i missed wow after 6 month and raiding in a new raid with the guild is always fun. idk if i continue the sub after aotc with the guild or not, depends how good 9.2 is. on a more positive note since this video blizzard made 2nd legendary free from campaign and made flying a lot easier to get which is a good sign of listening to community. also microsoft bought blizzard which is huge for the game future. good luck with your classes and future youtube videos.
Good to hear you're doing well, man! Your content approached the game in a no-BS kind of way, and I really appreciate that. That said, if you're not enjoying doing it, don't torture yourself for the sake of making content. Life is short, and there are plenty of other things we're required to do that we'd rather not, so forcing yourself to toil on something you dislike when you're not required to is just self-flagellation. Selfishly, I hope to see more content here, but it shouldn't be made at the expense of your happiness. Most of all, I hope you have fun with InfoSec!
@@Rustycobra You can always spin up another channel and make videos about other games. Or shift this one to be about more than just WoW (or about anything but WoW if the next expac doesn't appeal to you). I'm sure you'll get some haters up front if you expand, but it'd settle down after awhile (being the internet, it's never going to cease). Just a thought from an internet stranger.
I dont know your opinion about classic but anytime you want you can come to cool guys club and join us on tbc killing ilidan :) welcome back dude, Good to have you back
I have taken a break from WoW myself. I will be returning for 9.2, but I am so burnt out. So I understand. Do good things for yourself, that's the most important:)
I do plan on making a video here and there just nothing to the amount I did before my break unless Blizz pulls their head out of their ass and actually makes the next expansion good. Glad you like the content :)
Do you think Microsoft acquiring Actiblizz will change your mind about playing WoW more? No matter what you do, you got my support. You always have a great no BS outlook. And good for you for going back to school. I’m a AppsSec analyst and I absolutely love my job! Get your certs! They help! :)
I think to some degree Microsoft buying ActiBlizz can have some positive effects on the game but it will be a long time before we see any of that. If the game is good Ill play which is where Im at. Also Im actually going to start working on some certifications this summer!
I quit WoW, will try Lost Ark since is F2P and has some nice reviews from people who have played it, glad to know you fine and hopefully we see some cool videos in the future no matter what game it is
Hey man huge fan, still remember your ghuun CE, ill always watch all your shit but i think its smart to keep it to wow, bigger youtube channels than yours have died by slightly branching thier content without constantly uploading the original themed stuff, and id hate to see that happen. Also miss the old intro xD
Hello from France ! Never commented your videos yet but just wanted to say how much you helped me to farm mounts these past few weeks ! Your job is amazing and I've never seen such a usefull youtube channel ! I finally was able to farm mounts that I wanted but never thought it was possible for me - a solo player - to have ! Hope you're better with that covid & hope WoW will stop deceiving you ! :)
you're bang on, i've raided vanilla, came back in bfa and sl, played every raid in bfa and sl ... but won't be raiding 9.2 ..... it just feels bad to play and i raid mythic
Mr Rusty goes missing after the release of a new Halo game I never saw this coming... Make whatever videos you want brother, I've been here since day 1 bro I watch for u. Bro I just watch ur wow guides then dont even try to do it myself. Gl in school boss
Hey man, i know I'm really late for this video but i feel like I needed to ask you specifically since you've been very vocal about the state of the game. I haven't played wow since nathria came out , but I've been desperate to play the game lately. Is it worth to at least get a 1 month sub to see if i like it or should I just..avoid the game?. Hope you're doing well and as always thank you for the amazing videos, I'll watch your content even if you stream barbie MMOs
I do actually think paying for a month to check out 9.2 is def worth it. From there you should be able to decide for yourself if you want to continue playing or just wait until the next expansion. Glad you like the content!!!
It's good to see you doing well! You don't need to apologize, sometimes shit just hits you. I missed your content, though. I understand what you feel regarding WoW, too. I haven't played in ages, since this expansion has just become actual dogwater. Make new content with the other games you've been playing! If you enjoy those, I'd be glad to see what you're doing in em.
Wonder whatever happened with that community council thing. Went they supposed to help the devs make wow fun again? BTW good to see this pop up in my notifications and good luck with everything!
Its been going with a few clown fiascos but there have actually been some interesting discussions on the community council forums. If we even see an impact from it it prob wont be till next expac though but who knows
Don't worry about us too much. You don't OWE us an explanation or anything, I guess we were just wondering where you were at and what you wanted to do after what's been going on with WoW. I guess what I'm trying to say is don't put pressure on yourself and do what you've always done aka do what you like! Btw yes XIV's a banger I fucking love it I'm now hardcore raiding on this game and it's a fucking bliss
Hey man, you lasted longer than I did. I quit just before last summer after I made gold cap, then spent it all so that I never come back. I have been thinking about FF14 when I get my new PC, but I totally understand the feeling of wanting to play Wow, but it is just sucks right now. I want a whole new expansion that doesn't suck. Would love to see some FF14 vids though.
I agree with everything you said about WOW! (Sadly ☹️). But you should feel free to make those other videos if you’d like - I don’t play those other games but I would not mind at all to see your channel branch out. I like your channel because of the variety of content (I like trying hard content but also like mount collecting or the guides for completing old raids for example) and the editing is really good - it’s to the point but also has the jokes in there 😂
I understand your frustration, especially being a mythic raider. Much better to be a casual like me, I just resubbed just for a month after quitting in wod and leveling and catchup has been fun. I even watch the cut scenes. You could make a catchup guide, the ones done by Bellular and Soulsobreezy etc are pretty crap if you're completely out of touch with the current systems like me.
I had forgotten about infinite I thought your 2 games were going to just be ff14 and halo 3. Branching out can be good; it’s the RustyCobra channel not the WoW channel, hoping you can find fulfillment doing other types of content if WoW continues this path.
I still raid in wow, just regular reclears/sales but overall the game feels lifeless… been playing tons of destiny 2. Everyone needs a break now and then, take care of yourself!
I'm pretty much over having them proving me right for next expansion. They've just disappointed again and again. It's really sad to see so many content creators revolving around WoW just outright quit because they don't enjoy any aspect of the game. I agree with all of them lol
Yeeeah I'll be honest - WoW pretty much sucks. I started teaching full time and instead of wanting to come home to play WoW with my friends, I now actively avoid logging onto WoW because it sucks so hard. It's boring and tiresome. Missed ya dude, hope all is well. :)
Ayyy good seeing another one of your comments! Yah it used to be where I wanted to spend my free time playing WoW now I dont wanna waste my free time playing it
Its always something I thought about but at this point I dont want to have something people pay for if Im not making consistent content. Doesn't sit right with me. Maybe one day if I make vids more consistently :)
Dont be mad, but i give you dislike because you like witcher XD I hope after this microsoft transaction wow will feel better for all, and you will be back!

This will probably sound stupid, but i really really want a RustyCobra video about soloing Legion raids in 9.2
im new to wow, & have been watching all of your past videos for help. I 100% would like to see you start uploading again im a big fan of your style
I'm not a raider anymore, but I did end up quitting wow until 10.0 at least. I've played on and off since 2005 and I thought I'd miss it more, but it was actually really easy to adapt to not playing. Playing less grindy and frustrating games is a relief. I'm kind of thankful even that I branched out to find games that fit my playstyles better.
We need another Legion except without legions systemic problems!

Dude, your content is really great ! Everyone have life anyway so dont feel like u owe us anything ! You did pretty nice video guides so Thank you for that !
I also watch Band of Brothers every year. One of my best purchases, ever. ❤️

@@Rustycobra Ohh i get it well let's hope u will comeback to tbc and its gonna click for you , there is a lot of fun to be have ^^
I have taken a break from WoW myself. I will be returning for 9.2, but I am so burnt out. So I understand. Do good things for yourself, that's the most important:)
also I am the only DH in my raid team so I feel ALL OF THAT on a real personal level haha XD
Good thing the Heroic Painsmith weapon was better than the glaive lol but it is such a cool transmog!
Glad you're still around rust man. Take your time, make what you want to make.
Also I warned you about shadowlands bruh
Shadowlands started so freakin good though! In classic Blizzard style though they dropped the ball on literally everything. So much potential wasted
Quit WoW, but hope to see other content from you. Have watched you for a long time now!
I do plan on making a video here and there just nothing to the amount I did before my break unless Blizz pulls their head out of their ass and actually makes the next expansion good. Glad you like the content :)
Thank you for your content, you and the content made the game more enjoyable for me.
Glad you enjoy it!
Good luck with university! I liked the view of the other wall, but this way the picture is brighter. Have you considered a greenscreen though?
I have but it goes back to the age old problem of me being a lazy sack of shit :)
Oooh the wow rant - so therapeutic :)
Do you think Microsoft acquiring Actiblizz will change your mind about playing WoW more?
No matter what you do, you got my support. You always have a great no BS outlook.

Casual is probably how Ill play it at least until next expac
@@Rustycobra It's a lot less tedious if you start late in the expansion, cheaper game faster rewards.
Really missing your energy filled videos! the content draugth of both you and Syiler is gonna be awfull if this goes on into 9.2!
Sadly it might it depends how bad the mobile game gets
I had forgotten about infinite I thought your 2 games were going to just be ff14 and halo 3. Branching out can be good; it’s the RustyCobra channel not the WoW channel, hoping you can find fulfillment doing other types of content if WoW continues this path.
I stopped playing wow. Now am just replaying fallout 4 so I hope 10.0 will be better then the current game.
Feel that

I still raid in wow, just regular reclears/sales but overall the game feels lifeless… been playing tons of destiny 2. Everyone needs a break now and then, take care of yourself!
