Just a suggestion Blizzard…
Why not go back to basics, the basics which brought the mass player base.
Tier sets, PvP vendors, no time gates, no anime redtube fox races…… etc etc
Stop creating activities nobody wants and asks for and most importantly, you aren’t staffed for…
you’re introducing all these ‘hyped’ activities in game & even if players did love it… you don’t have the maintenance to ensure it runs fine with minimal bugs.
Blizzard, do your thing and leave William hill to do there’s.

Add proper class design to your list and you have my vote.

Amen,
That’s why it’s always great to be basic… you have time to maintain aspects like class design, just my opinion but I can imagine many agree that’s it’s better to have 3 enjoyable aspects that work then 10 un enjoyable aspects that are buggy as hell.

great post man! Thanks for sharing. I do not like kids quest lines. I am bored killing crocodiles.
I am here for the pvp but I am punished every single day for that. I have to do tones of stuff for pve just to enjoy my beloved pvp.

We have had “kill x amount of y mobs” quests since vanilla though.

indeed. but once I am 120 why I should keep going over and over those again. Why for staying only for pvp (Bgs and some arenas) I have to do a long pve quest and then start doing again and again those visions.

Why do you agree with the op then ? He wants to go back to basics, and that’s wow basics.
btw guys do you also suffer from bugs and many many disconnects?

Agree to disagree here, yea we’ve always had quests to kill x y & z but in current wow, you pretty much level alone, 119 levels alone…
At least ‘Back to basics’ mixed it up, here’s a 5 man group quest to socialise, make friends, here go travel make use of some crap.
You currently see a (5) by a quest and you don’t instantly think like a pornstar requiring 4 men to climax on hogger…. in fact you just ignore the (5), it means nothing…

That’s not a design problem, that’s an age problem. Everyone still on this game has been for years and has a legion of fully leveled alts. If you were to make classic like leveling you would be alienating both new and old players, new because they wont find anyone to do the challenging stuff with them and old because they did it a thousand times and Don’t want to go through it again.
If you want to be taken seriously joining the furry hate bandwagon is just gonna make you look immature

Without “anime redtube fox races” this game would be dead long time ago. Half of Horde playerbase is made out of anime girls.

I mean… it’s not an age problem at all…
Agree that with continuously doing the same content repetitively will reduce motivation to do it again but compare retail to classic (I really am not aiming to turn this post into a ‘typical classic’ fan boy post to) but you’d level an alt as a way to enjoy passing time… not rushing to end game content and min max.
It’s the foundation that’s changed… imo for the worse and that it the core problem, the fact that the foundation is quickly changing… it was through every other expansion… now it’s through every patch.

I played a bit of classic and I disagree.
Most people have been rushing through dungeon with 3 mages, a warlock and a priest to be done leveling asap once their first char reached 60.
The fondation changed because of the Community, everyone is max level and so expect endgame content so blizz spends their resources on high level zones and raid tiers with some timegating to prevent the swarm of ants that is the informed playerbase to devor it in a Week like they did in classic with MC being downed at level 58.

You say most… if you were to lay it down on a chart & a % then that would probably disagree.
The problem with that is ‘most’ of those dungeon levellers would have been the vocal minority which everyone sees in the LFG chats etc… not the non vocal majority who gets on with playing the game, not spamming.
I guess there is an argument for everything due to us clearly having different opinions… as much as you say it’s because of the ‘community’ again I disagree with this… yea there are a lot of toxic players but are also a lot of non toxic constructive players that mention there concern… are praised by other players but ignored by blizzard.
You say community changed the foundation… I say greed changed the foundation of the game… level boosts… transmog & all other luxury aspects of the game changed it for the worse… the majority of the community only ever cared.
Why spend time when you can spend money… doesn’t work in an MMORPG.

Your time is money, you gain money by giving up some of your lifetime to a boss of a paycheck. Most players are working adults now, it just take them less time to work for 60 bucks than level to max.
And we have several indications that it is because of the Community, in the end it’s the Community who decides not to level just for fun, it’s the Community who buys heirlooms and boost, it’s the Community who powerlevel through dungeon. Blizz isn’t forcing people to do any of those things, yet they do it.
Get off your high horse…
You see something you think you can get involved in without actually understanding the main point of the conversation.
‘Back to basic’ for you should be back in a womb, only this time introduced by a large set of stone stairs.
