      That has been WoW's story since WoD. People have suggested, asked, and requested things for years and they keep just ignoring it. I don't understand why, but for whatever reason it might be... it shows they haven't changed. It's really odd given, even now, they're still unable or unwilling to change really bad things about the game. It was funny to hear 'No' over and over again though. XD

      @@TheDb1t I will never understand the Blizzard dev process. They seem to actively work against their player base, respond negatively to community suggestions, have that "you think you do, but you don't" attitude where they think they know better than the players about what they want, and always make decisions that turn objectively fun game content into just another power grind. No matter how good the War Within alpha or beta are, I know that they'll change things to make them more "profitable" to the company rather than leaving them as fun - because that's what they've done for the last decade. So, I'm waiting until a few months after launch to see what the expansions really going to be like, simply because the devs consistently lie through their teeth and put on a smoke show before every expansion.

How about the storyline that got started with the Azure Span that went absolutely nowhere? How about any kind of resolution to Loamm being burned down? Or that "amazing" and "stupendous" Friendship is Magic cut scene that ended the whole Emerald Dream / World Tree arc?
      So, story is kind of scuffed. How about dungeons? Those are usually good, right? Except... no. There was, what, eight? And how many of them were just repurposed zones? Two? Three?
      How about PvP? Any new maps? Game modes? Anything?
      Raids? Raids were... fine, I guess? I don't know anyone who counts them as the top tier of WoW raiding, though. But maybe you do?
      But as for specifically what I meant, I meant the habit of the Blizzard devs to introduce an interesting and fun new feature - pick your own power for set bonuses (Azerite Armore), Torghast, whatever - and then taking away the fun elements and forcing it to become just another power grind. And from everything I've seen, they're *still* doing it with the MoP remix.

      ⁠@@Maria_Erias ok actually thanks for the effort you put on your response, at least you are someone that knows what they are taking about. First of all, I agree with the story and on some parts it was a mess. Dungeons and the mythic plus seasons were for the most part fine ( mechadungeon was pretty cool).I would argue that raids were pretty good overall with some very good fights. Professions in the game got a very good update and overhaul , gearing in the game had also and overhaul which was very good. While gearing in wow , pieces from dungeons, raids and crafting now matter and you further modify them with embellishments and enchants. PvP is forgotten however. Then to new things, plunderstorm was something completely new and actually great content, mop remix is super fun although it has bugs, dragoriding is really cool. And finally , in dragon flight they have added smaller stuff like the holiday updates and more customisation for characters including transmog from vanila, pets for warlocks etc. The game is by no means perfect, however they are doing a way better job.

      Im not sure. I get what you mean, but I paid for loser edition of the game to play early, and lorewise and story pacing/ general warcraft feeling is kinda there for me. Im enjoying it in that sense. The warbands thing respects my time a lot. Just my opinion. I understand your attitude toward blizzard. But monitor the game. I think it is on the upswing. Unfortunately, this xpac was developed mostly under Activision and not Microsoft. They said at blizzcon that midnight will ne the expansion to "have all the features players are excited about" in their exact words. It seems clear to me is because that's the first one with metzen back and full production under microsoft. So hang in there. This xpac you can absolutely skip imo, but I am really digging it.

    Regarding spawning after boss wipes and getting new players in without a Warlock: Why is there no (thematically fitting) general summoning stone in front of each encounter that activates once the trash has been killed? That location might as well be your respawn point.

    The content felt very shallow. The only time I felt like I was having fun was when I got a cool new piece of loot.
    This was sustained longer in Pandaria remix from getting the threads but unless War Within does something to go beyond simple delve and loot systems, I don't see myself coming back.

      In fairness MOP Remix is the equivalent of a "free fun" private server. It's meant to be a little event you do as an established player. It's not meant to be played for more than a few hours like event content.
      Retail as a whole is bad and bloated with half assed systems though. Story is still garbage too. I'd recommend just not coming back. WoW has been slowly dying since WoD. Shadowslands almost finally killed it but ABK isn't going to let go of their cash cow that easy. WoW will flounder and subsist from its base for another 5-6 more years before finally ending support.

      And a new player or a returning player jumping into it must be super confusing. The devs in this video talk about how important & difficult it is to teach new systems. Unfortunately I just don't think Blizz is doing that well in that regard.
      In the mean time I'm enjoying classic and I honestly recommend new players start with Cata as it's much easier to get into and honestly it's a lot better story/experience wise than retail.

Patch stories, fine but it just felt like the same thing over and over and I was tired of feeling FOMO from not always exclusively playing WoW.

Echo of Nelth was a severe outlier tbh. Smolderon orbs could be done naturally but people defaulted for consistency to save prog time out of distrust of some of their raid members(20 people its how it goes lol). I play with a base ui out of preference and I get CE every tier.

    11:26 good, I really hope it is like that. A lot of the underwater content is terrible because of the verticality. Having to swim and fight mobs not only in front, but on your sides, above and below you just feels bad. I remember when Vashj'ir came out and I thought it looked so stunning, and then I started questing and I immediately hated the entire zone and I literally never went back again and that was in 2010. I have avoided that zone in the game for 14 years because of that. Terrible design.
    22:09 YES! I don't understand the gatekeeping behind race/class combos after implementing tauren rogues. Once those got added in, any race should be able to be any class. If you can make an argument about how a 2 ton bipedal bull can 'stealth' and surprise attack people, then you ABSOLUTELY can make an argument for how a night elf can be a shaman, especially with their lore being tied so closely to nature, shamanism is not that different from druidism in the sense of this game. Gnomes have lived with dwarves for the entirety of the games life, and they can be priests so the 'light' isn't a new concept for them, and they can be warriors too, so why can they not be plate clad warriors of light or "paladins" it just doesn't make sense when you compare it to a freaking stealthy cow!

      If you are curious, you can just do it the other way around. You can do the story, the dungeons and LFR and you basically have the whole experience minus going hard on the gear grind. It's very low commitment doing it that way.

    After playing WoW for nearly 20 years I think I am finally done. Looking for a new home, may return to XIV but will see. Remix looked so amazing and they spoilt it straight away for me and the last couple of times I've had some issues or game braking bugs that I can't be bothered to even try again to get = nah I'm done. Spent an entire week trying to unlock something and the achievement was bugged and GM's wouldn't do anything, worse they didn't even acknowledge this was a bug until the 2nd reply I got from them after they tried to fob me off the first time! Still fobbed me off the 2nd time but at least they admitted the issue this time. I'm done, I can't spend a week of my life in a game where if something breaks it's just "sorry, it's a know issue, you can report this bug if you want to" as the reply.
    Good luck everyone who continues to play and this feels weird to me because this game is a huge part of my life but the time has come!

    The responses to Keystone depletion and respawning at the raid boss are so disappointing. I've never really raided before outside of LFR because I simply don't have time but I have always wanted to. Even in MoP remix where people blast through the content I've found doing SoO and ToT take too long for me with only a few wipes so I can't even bare the thought of doing the current retail raids. LFR works for me because you can do them wing by wing on your own time. I've no issue getting into groups for Normal or higher Raids, it's just the time wasted within a raid that turns me off. VERY disappointing to hear that these things are not changing.
