This is not the death of wow, this is some people wishing this would be the death of WoW. Again it has been repeated so many times âCANCEL CULTUREâ.
People love to see something rise and then fall.
It angers me to know , how many people that work at Blizzard and actually do all the can , put in all their effort and talent and people just crap all over it because they didnât get what they wanted or they jump on the hate train.
When I play WoW , I see amazing design, amazing music, fun gameplay, love battlegrounds and after so many years still love the Alliance vs Horde theme.
You can all hate as much as you want, it will not affect me. Not in the slightest. Donât like it ? Just leave, but let the people who enjoy it , just enjoy it.
Yâall just WANT the drama, in that way you get to create some youtube videos , get some extra attention. Just the same as Asmongold, he is also the type that just loves to create drama. For years he has been living of WoW, that is how he made is âfanbaseâ and now he is jumping over to Final Fantasy.
Itâs all just funny to me.

WoW has been âdyingâ since atleast Vanilla. Atleast the doomsayers back then were original.

The overall addition of new and bad systems is what is destroying my enjoyment of the game. Covenants, borrowed power, mandatory legendaries and even a change like removing tier sets is triggering me.
People have spoken out about the issues about most of this even before it was patched in, but all of it lands on deaf ears. Players feel ignored.
Preach just gave up on wow and I myself is about to do the same.

People have been on the bandwagon to want to see âsomething kill WoWâ since before LotRO released in 2007. Even before WoW released there used to be old MMO players who thought it wouldnât last a year or people would return to their initial MMO eventually.
Hereâs a little twist on the current âDeath of WoWâ takes: youâre unoriginal, and if youâre proven right, then you were proven right on the same grounds as me telling someone: âtoday is the day you die!â and eventually, after thirty-odd years, that eventually happens. And then Iâm standing there saying: âHah, I knew it.â
WoW has been the top dog for seventeen years. That is longer than the current MCU has been running, means WoW in itself is almost old enough to vote, has almost spanned two generations, and has generally still managed to pull in millions of players across that time. SL was even the fastest selling PC game for a while, and that was for a 16 year old game. Even if it drops to the #2 MMO spot in the coming years, it has had an incredible run.
And if FFXIV and WoW now get closer in subscriber counts and actually compete with each other, then thatâs good. Competition can drive innovation and improvement. Even Yoshida, the person everyone here seems to regard so highly, has said he thinks itâs a nonsense thing to say he âbeatâ WoW.
At this point, the surprising thing shouldnât be that eventually WoW might have been surpassed by another game, but that it took the genre 17 years to come up with something to do it.
âDeath of WoWâ takes are still unoriginal. If FFXIV really overtakes WoW, I applaud it. And truth be told, I couldnât care less since I play both. If WoW still stays on top, youâre still wrong. Nothing changes.

I donât understand why are people creating egregore to destroy game they all like to play .It doesnât make sense whatsoever.

And yet it has never truly gone through a proper phase of dying.
The game is stale.
The company is toxic.
The community sucks.
The online presence is vanishing.
And the most important aspect, there is genuine competition.
I donât and canât speak on behalf of others.
But this is the first time Iâve unsubscribed and removed my payment methods. Period.
Iâve quit before for a few months, but I still kept paying the sub ready for when I return (yes I know it doesnât make sense).
I didnât detest the game, I just naturally quit.

Either wrong or right, the game is in a bad state and I have a bad experience playing the game, quests sucks, story sucks, pvp is boring, everything is repetative, rares are not really rare, treasures arent really treasures.
In any other expansion the story was followed throughout the expansion nowadays since Legion/Bfa/SL there is a new story that feel rushed every patch.
Either way, we all problably wish the game was as fun as you remember it from the time you enjoyed the most. For me it was Wrath.
The old talent system, good balance in pvp and great story throughout the expansion.

âThis is not the death of wowâ - You are absolutely correct, but itâs up to themselves to turn this around.
âthis is some people wishing this would be the death of WoWâ - No this is paying people that are unhappy with the product they are being sold. If you KFC start selling unseasoned chicken people will stop buying it. But if they add the spice back in people will buy it again. Same goes here if Blizzard adds the fun back into the game people will comeback. They âUNSUBBEDâ, they did NOT âUNINSTALLâ. There are FF14 content creators that are saddened by Blizzards failures because itâs bad for all MMORPG games. Other MMOs were getting better because they were aspiring to be as good as WoW. If WoW dies so will all of them eventually. You need competition to remain the best. Even the game director of FF14 said "they were trying to make a WoW version of FF14. Imagine how much guts that took to say their game sucked and to make it better they had to make it like WoW. That how much of a ârole modelâ WoW is in the MMO gaming industry.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MgwliOmjHHEReally is that why the employees are walking out tomorrow because they are unhappy with the players complaining about the game?
You are right. I loved playing the game too, but I hate Battle grounds but to each his own.
Recently the fun just grinded to halt a bit because Shadowlands is not so cool when it comes to gearing an army (13) of alts.
Yes, but then donât judge them for leaving.
Now this is complete BS. The content creators like Preach and Madseason are clearly emotionally distressed by leaving. This was not an easy decision for them and none of them asked anyone to quit playing the game. I mean even content creator from other MMOs are telling people to keep supporting the good people that still work their at Blizzard.
As for Asmongold he didnât âLEAVEâ his friends dared him to play FF14 and he did it and decided to stream it so people could see that he was actually playing FF14. He was actually still raiding with his WoW guild while he was playing FF14. FF14 was not an easy ride for him either. He was hassled in the game where ever he went with people trying to block quest npcs and all kinds of crap like that. Square Enix started banning people for interfering with his gameplay. That was not done because he is âAsmongoldâ it is actually part of their âterms and conditionsâ that if you interfere with another player gameplay you get banned as simple as that. If you were playing FF14 and people tried to mess with your gameplay they would also get banned.
The game needs to âdieâ so it can be ârebornâ.

Cancel Culture can happen all it wants but it wont work. So its time to ignore these type of posts
People just taking shots cause cancel culture, a culture ran by maniacs claiming innocents and guilty alike. Just ignore people wanting the game dead and move on, people need to be ignored so the people who want wow to carry on can progress and rebuild the game, with the company after the law suit for the better.
Me too
but the negative and the bad design started to be on top of my sweet cake
Older versions of the game had their problems too
but the problems were not important that much because the game as whole was a playable and FUN experience
right now
you can have the most beautiful zones in the game
just like BFA had a gorgeous zones but the expansion failed on the SYSTEMS
blizzard is designing wow as a CHORE / JOB âŚlike the facebook game
TW: Unpopular opinion
Perhaps itâs time to halt content creation beyond the end of SL; take a leaf out of Squenix playbook; put the Blizzard house in order by removing the deadwood, passengers and toxic personalities⌠and start developing WoW 2.0

Perhaps WoW 2.0 should be a SANDBOX MMO?
- No character leveling, but you âlevelâ by upgrading your gear. So you start with a rock and wind up with a big bad world cleaving sword or world destroying staff.
- The whole world is open to you and you can go anywhere you like.
- Your class is dependent on the weapon you have fitted.
- You get gear by doing dungeons, raids and killing elite creatures, world bosses or as quest rewards. You get a specific item with a specific level for killing a specific elite creature, world boss or dungeon/raid boss. All gear are BOE and can be bought from the auction house but only items that you have already had fitted (see point 6 and 7 for the AH gear reason ).
- The better you are (meaning more skill you have) the lower the gear you require to kill a higher level creature so the faster you âlevelâ.
- The first time you die on a elite creature or world boss you get resurrected with your gear. The second time you die on the same elite/world boss however you get resurrected but you loose your equipped stuff. So the recipe goes try elite/world boss fail => do other stuff to get better gear and try then said elite/world boss again. Or to cheese it => first time try and fail => fit crap gear, fail, die, loose crap gear and reset counter to 0. For dungeons and raids you get 5 shots before you loose your equipped stuff.
- PvP works similarly PvE except if you loose your enemy get to loot your stuff. PvP is a challenge / duel system in the open world or happens in specific areas. In PvP zones players can trade gear, but only stuff that you have had fitted before to help fallen comrades get back in the fight.

Bitterness. Itâs like a toxic ex-lover. You loved them once, but after all those lies, arguments, and horrible experiences youâd love nothing better than watching that person crash and burn.
Before WoW dies it becomes free to play or gets sold to someone else and remaked, believe it or not but WoW is one of the most historic important franchises in the gaming world.
Literally marked the landscape of MMOâs.
With all the lore, books, comics and even a own movie I highly doubt that a different company wouldnât take advantage of it.
Yeah it is.
But whether itâs permanent is up to blizzard.
Weâre at WoD point, if blizzard pulls another Legion, people will be back.
But thatâs questionable.
Not the first time I see it but Steve Jobsâ analysis of monopolies is pretty damn on point.
