I disagree.
I didn’t purchased SL.
DF has my already.
For me as a Horde player who loves Thrall, Cairne and Vol’Jin leadership style, I’m loving an expansion where there’s no faction conflict (BFA), no dark themes (SL) and no Sylvanas Windrunner on the cinematic for the 4th time in a row (Legion, BFA and SL).
I like it.
As someone who is always stressed to perform as best as I can, that means there’s less chances for screw ups on my part.
For me, a dungeon run is something I do when I’m bored of running outside and want to play with other players.
It all boils down to personal tastes.
I believe most players use their own playlists.
One player may want to listen to metal rock, while other wants to listen to Celtic songs.
Great.
That means I have more time to play Alts.
The best gear will always come from end game: Raids and Mithic+.
Anything else is just an illusion of progression.
I never liked it tbh.
This is not a single player game.
There’s so much you can do to master your character. The other part of the challenge is to know how to play in: 5 man group, 25 man group, arenas and battlegrounds.
I managed to spend the entire SL expansion grinding Visions of N’Zoth, for my HoA and Legendary Cape.
If you have infinite grinding than there’s no purpose to have an expansion.
Why purchase another expansion when you haven’t finished the other one ?
In fact the only reason I purchased DF was to show my support.
Because I could spend the next 2 years exploring SL, easily as I never played it.
The reverse side of the coin:
I hate when I want to quest and everything is being killed, looted and I have to camp a spot in order to get the quest mob I need.
I don’t play PvP.
The problems with PVP upgrades is that can be easily exploited by raiders in order to make their life easier in Raids bypassing PVE content.
They tried to introduce resilience in TBC but there was complains from the Raiding community.
Also any player that raids/PVP will always have the upper hand over the one that only plays PVP.
That depends.
There’s players that are specialized in playing the AH.
There’s others that like to focus on professions.
In the end everyone wants different things and you can’t please everyone.
For example it’s interesting to read how diverse is people’s wishes when they consider what they would do if conceded just one wish they could make reality:
Cheers.
