6 reasons why I quit wow

[Lilîith-silvermoon]

@Swiftness-silvermoon

1. I HATE weekly time gates to get basic things like essences or visions
2. BFA the most unfriendly and boring xpac yet at max level
3. Constantly rep grinding at max level repeating it in an endless cycle
4. More bots playing the game than players, making gold worthless on AH
5. Everything scales ilvl/mob lvl makes extremely boring gameplay
6. Servers are total trash they can barely handle 5v5 in none instance scenarios, making the game literally unplayable for a game we spend our money on, nazjatar is still a mess

If time gating comes back in shadowlands I won’t be returning, I’m so sick of the game forcing me to log in the following week to collect a dam essence or some form of ability collector.

you forgot about most important thing though

can we have your gold ?

after that dont let door hit you on way out

Also, Pathfinder design. Withholding flying mounts for a year or so is horrific.
It’s the primary reason why i don’t play WoW until x.2 or even x.3 patches anymore.
I do the launch content such as loremaster, explorer, reps to exalted. Then I’m done. I’m not going to grind endless world quests and mythic+ dungeons without a damn flying mount available. I did quit like that in Legion and BFA. If they don’t change it in Shadowlands it won’t be any different for me.

Actully i know people who play only at start and in the end and never ever play whole expansions coz of grind and other stuff. Its not enjoyable for manys and i can understand them.

[Athulua-silvermoon]

Played 7.3 and played 8.3. Nothing in between. Flying is one of the resons.
The other being bad classes with no stats (esp haste, i hate slow GCD) and the grinding which is usually not that bad in the final patch. The worst grinding usually happens on launch which is why i never raid launch content. Last time i raided the first tier was in WOD.

[Хмв-soulflayer]

But 8.3 have much much more grind then BFA launch. Even Legion start was an easy walk.

Then don’t use your flying mounts, or mounts with wings, until after you have unlocked flying.

I don’t think that any system will be perfect or will please all of the player-base however I can totally understand why the devs don’t want flying and why the majority of the player-base do want flying. This, to me, is the current best solution to an unsolvable problem.

[Kelthrian-tarren-mill]

I don’t agree with the servers. I rarely have any lag. And the time I do it’s an known issue and they working on it.

I came to this topic expecting a song like the 12 days of Christmas about his reasons of quitting.

[Cairozh-kazzak]

Ok, noted.

[Thorwen-moonglade]

Reasons I still play WoW:

1. Freakin love this game!

Just an alternate spin on the title.

[Bjornson-nordrassil]

I find all these relatable.
I only keep playing retail right now to do the 5 masks clear once and maybe to get +15 on time on all the dungeons.

Has the OP actually been back to this thread?

My mail is still empty, I’m starting to feel they are trolling us.

Yep. It’s a cheesy way to keep players subscribed.

@Swiftness-silvermoon

If time gating comes back in shadowlands

It is not going anywhere in the first place.
But i agree with your points, they are hard to ignore.

[Celestrials-stormscale]

But bots are the future in this game. It is made for bots.

Personally I’m not into pvp at all, but they shouldn’t have abolished pvp servers - if you don’t like it, play on a pve server (which i did).

It’s literally the same, we just pretty much got an option to enable/disable pvp servers. And it’s not that simple to “just not play on one”. People started playing on pvp servers when pvp was in a decent state, and now it’s garbage. Expecting them to pay for server transfer or start a new character on a different server from lvl 1 while leaving their guild behind because of the state of the game is ridiculous.

[Nixx-ragnaros (Nixx)]

I haven’t quit but I have some points I dont like:

Time gating, specifically as this hurts new and returning players significantly. There should be increasing catch up each reset, the cloak catch up is just poor when its only 1 extra per week, so many weeks down the line it just feels frustrating.

Borrowed powers will leave classes feeling gutted (after already feeling gutted after the last expansion) while we have gained nothing of our own, since when does my character stop progressing? More levels is superficial as the content scales to me, nothing is added/gained. Not sure why some of the traits from artfifact/azerite/legendaries couldn’t be baked in after they are “disabled”. Nog asking for everything but some of them really enhanced the playstyle of some specs and made them feel more whole.
