I'm not a fan of shitting on Blizzard but they should reconsider changing their approach to servicing the game.
I log in once or twice a week for a few hours at a time. Generally around three to four. I’m a father, a home owner, a husband, and a professional. I work at a school as a custodian and bus driver, 8 or more hours a day, five days a week. I don’t have time to devote to current content. I don’t enjoy a rush to level cap and though I have played WoW since vanilla (when I did have the time) I have never seen endgame content when it was current. Not once in all those years. I level slowly and most of my online time is devoted to role play or seeking out game elements that will improve my fantasy immersion as a role player. Or, as I have always said, calling a spade a spade, I like dresses for my digital doll. I say that proudly as that is the truth of the matter. That is the motivation of the casual role player, and especially for the hardcore role players, and I know a bunch of both. So yeah, I log in and I farm old content. I go and solo raids and dungeons I’ve never seen. I power through old story content because I can, and I’m not beholden to others that want to blast through a region on the race to max level. I can take my time and savor the story and the eye catching graphics of a region. At least I do this when I’m not role playing a slice of life situation in Stormwind or Moonglade or in the Exodar. And frankly all the people I play with, other role players, have been around for at least five to ten years. Oh sure, there is plenty of bitching, but we are people that have a recurring sub and always log in to role play events. We will continue to do so as long as there are servers active. We don’t really give a damn what the current content is. We care what the current story is. BfA was depressing for most of us. Shadowlands even more so… mostly for what it portends for the Dark Lady, but we keep playing. We adapt because that’s what a role player can do. The mechanics are secondary to the story and we can do what we wish with that. In that way we have a deeper and more sustainable experience. I don’t know why Bliz doesn’t cater to that demographic more often. The community is a cash cow. We pay them, we stick around, and we are more likely to use the cash shop.
I only logg in every now and then to level old toons I gave up on wow end content along time ago as so many have said it's the same repetitive stuff expansion after expansion after expansion
I've come back to WoW in Legion, and I liked to play the story, often skipping the group part. I don't have time in the evenings, between work and family life, so I stayed casual with occasionall raid/dungeon content (usually group finder). I hate grinding, and I was playing for a month and they off the game for another 6months or longer. And this year after getting my car through leveling in shadowlands and playing for month or so at 60lvl, I decided to stop paying for the time I am using like in 10% top. Fortunately YTubers like you are giving me the insides into the story changes and I don't feel a need to pay and play something that I care about and can be closed in 30 min video. There isn't enough content I like to make me invest time and money in playing. This game has ceased to be casual friendly long time ago. I am playing now SWTOR cause each class has it's tale, it mixes with the general story and you can play most of it solo, even basic "dungeons" or "+ missions" are soloable. Not to mention level scaling, if you are at level 60, in the world with 12 cap, you are 12. So you can play every side quest you want, get to know the story and not care about the hardcore stuff, but if you have time and will it's there, guilds, group content, raiding. Cheers mate.
I stopped retail in the 1st month of Cataclysm, actually playing on Classic, finished 20iest World Enhancement Sham on Naxx, just waiting TBC prepatch to release!
I still love the story, that's why I watch your channel among others since Legion, at the time the cinematic about Illidan put me right into the lore, but the game is so shitty
Resubbed a few weeks ago and regretted it about 3 days later. Similar thing happened in bfa when my old wotlk guild came back together again, half of the roster quit before mythic even came out.
I'm sorry, but Exorsus quitting hardcore is not even slightly comparable to people coming here and saying "I've quit wow but I still love the story" and to compare them is distrectufl to Exorsus and hardcore scene.
Playerbase is getting older, less time to grind.. that's just it.
They announced this a while back too i cant remember if it was legion or bfa. It's nothing new tbh.
Yeah I could not stand the world quests, the toxic nature of M+, and Torghast. You have to do chores before you can play what you like. If you have to ask "Why am I doing this," while playing a game. Then it is time to stop playing that game.
that's exactly what i'm doing right now, i'm farming appearances, farming mounts, problem for me is the inability to get the gear i need to move on, i can run instances all day, have the items i need drop for 5 ppl in the group, but nope, not for me, we need to bring back need for greed, i'm done with rng
Story is all that keeps me around. I generally enjoy the raids. Other than that the game is horse crap. Gear resets every patch, regrinding the same dungeon gear, no meaningful cross zone quests/content…. The game is an over glorified COD lobby
After a few years of playing wow, I am also going to be qutting for a while after we get done with mythic progression.
Theres so much that i can type here that i have issues with the game.
Blizz needs to listen to the community and the game will die. They already lost over 5 million subs in the last few years.
not only do i find my self trying older content but i can't even finish it because blizzard won't allow me to solo some of the legion raids for some reason …. i was looking forward to soloing that content byt this expansion but apparently im gonna have to wait until patch 9.3 for that .
Ladies and gentlemen, this is how you do a complaint video properly. Measured, considered, and concise. Well done.
I relate to a lot of the arguments concerning fun. I used to play this game religiously and obsessively every single day for nearly 18 years. Now I struggle to log in for an hour a day.
Organizations in Eve face this kind of thing all the time, and they call it cascade failure. If enough parts of the whole fail the whole will fail with remarkable alacrity once the tipping point is reached.
Seriously can't stand Bell and his clickbait whoring.
Eh i`m as casual player, what i can do?
I'm curious how much the content draught played into this decision. It's clear that negatively swells during times of low content, which has a lot to do with why Legion was so successful. Even with systems that had flaws, the steady stream of content alleviated those woes and kept players interested. BFA theoretically had content, but the truth is 8.0–>8.1 wasn't new content sans a new raid tier. So negativity swelled in that instance as well.
It boils down to this: Content draughts leaves human minds the time to weigh where they want to put effort in their life. The more time the developers give humans to think about if something is worth doing, the more likely they will lose players.
I have 13 characters that have been max level every expansion, right now I have only 6 lvl 60, and I don't feel motivated to level he rest. I log in to raid and do some m+, and many times I log in, and I don't find anything to do. They put all the effort in the "systems" and nothing on the content.
im so glad i didnt buy shadowlands. im sick of forced to do chores, dailiees, weeklies, visions ect. my favorite specs biggest iconic move… nerfed to make room for glimmer. my favorite endgame content… nerfed to a chest once a week.
honestly, at this point for the next expac, i want no raid servers. even if they are just one for each major us region, chi, NY, texas, cali. sick of this raid or die crap, sick of the chores and the forced content. i want to M+, gather herbs, pvp alt 1 patch raid alt the next at most, and not be held back in M+ because i dont want to deal with Blizzs toxic balance and the communities toxic raid scene.
I dont do any shadowland anymore. I finished one covenant and am out. The world quest grind is beyond old. I like the old lore and old content stuff. I like the nostalgia of old raids and dungeons and really enjoy just going in and solo that stuff.
Too many systems, just done with this and this company. I think there are a lot of us who simply can't take it anymore. The level of "jaded" some people are at this point is fucking off the charts
Man since December ive not stepped foot in any shadowlands zone. Ive been farming old azeroth for tmog and gold and mounts
Your channel > current wow
My wife and I cancelled our subs, took a six-month break, re-subbed for a month but let it expire. Tired of paying to stare at the screen, disappointed like others have stated, and log out. Blizzard has wrecked Warcraft so much that I'd rather listen to Accolonn discuss the lore (which I've always enjoyed) than actually log in to play the game myself.
Good vid man, I just unsubbed a couple days ago from wow. I mainly played pvp, and with over 5k arena games behind my back I can fairly say that blizzard does not care about the game's integrity any more. All existing fundamental issues with pvp were pointed out to them, and their upcoming solutions in 9.1 are mediocre at best. I'm not going to be forced to do 10-15 hours of content I'm not interested in just to finally get to the parts of the game I'd like to participate in. Sadly this trend has not changed and at this point I just lost all interest for the game. I genuinely don't understand what makes them believe people would enjoy their game less, if they weren't hold hostage.
