So, my time, for now, in WoW is coming to an end.
On the 17th my gametime will be up and I will not be re-subbing for a while.
Probably not at least until 8.2 and maybe even later, depending on what I see and hear about the game until then.
I’m not quitting because I have nothing to do. There’s plenty I COULD do. I just don’t enjoy almost any of it. The only time when I seem to be enjoying BfA is when I get to continue doing storyline content. And this is more often than not, way too brief.
I don’t raid, so that’s off the table right away. Even LFR hasn’t lured me in because there’s only 1 mail set and it looks horrendous. Dazar’alor doesn’t seem to be changing that.
I don’t enjoy running dungeons over and over. I’ll do them once, maybe a couple of times, but that’s enough for me.
So that leaves a few other types of content in BfA:
Island Expeditions. Probably for me personally one of the biggest let downs of the expansion. It’s so boring, it’s so non-engaging. It’s so grindy. And the rewards might as well not exist. I made a fairly extensive post in the IE feedback thread, so I’ll leave it at this.
Warfronts. Not my favorite type of content, but in a ‘do them once every couple of weeks’ way, yeah, they’re fine for that. But… It’s so limited. I’m not p(l)aying to do some content once every 3 weeks. I’m just not.
WQs. I did WQs all throughout Legion. They remained interesting for a LONG time. BfA did not achieve this. At all. As soon as I got the rep I needed in 8.0 I basically stopped doing them. Then in 8.1 they became a little more interesting with the increased rewards and added paragon chests (which honestly should have been in from the start), but still it’s just not enough.
I love the new zones so much. All of them. But what interesting stuff is there for me to do there? Next to nothing.
So, I’m done for now. I am hoping 8.2 will fix the various issues I have with the expansion as it currently is, but even a few of them would be welcome.
So to all the lovely people on this forum, many of whom will miss me greatly, I’m sure; have a great time. I will see you some time in the future when I will be back here defending TF and fighting Blizzard’s narrowmindedness as they keep creating mythic-only content, while everyone knows choice of how you want to run your content is the best option. Cheers! Bye for now.
