Hey, since I cannot figure out whether I like this expansion or not, I dont want to continue playing.
I leveled up like 5 toons to level 20 or 15, and it is driving me crazy. I cannot focus on Warrior because either I am total noob after playing for 7+ years, and still cannot get past dying in world PvP as arms warrior.
And other classes besides Warrior, DK and Paladin just don’t work with me.
So who wants 100k gold or around that on Draenor realm.
I mean youre 211 ilvl. You dying in world pvp at this point of a tier is well…normal? Youre severely outgeared by A LOT of people. And now couple that with world pvp being rarely in ones favour.
Well, I know that much. I ain’t saying that I expect to rip and tear just purely based on my ilvl. However, I just don’t have any will to try or play anymore purely because I am lost in between of what I want from the game.
I actually came back to the game because I wanted to see and relieve awesome cool moments I had with community I was in, Zen HORDE. But in the end, the community disbanded for the most part and my friends who played long ago don’t play anymore too.
It feels lonely to play now, and I sure am not planning onto going to classic or BC.
I just don’t really know.
Caster classes aren’t mine.
Hunter class just feels like firing a nerf gun, albeit I have imagination and can imagine all cool rp scenarios for myself if needed be, but it just feels meh.
I get that. At the moment a lot of people have left because SL doesn’t appeal to them but they may be back for 10.0, who knows.
It would just be a shame for you to come back and regret giving your gold away.
Maybe there are other communities out there you could join? or you could transfer to an RP realm if that interests you? you might make new friends there and find a new way to enjoy the game.
Well actually I have only seen Machinima videos from Nixxiom and to be completely honest what got me into the wow in the first place is WoWCrendor, that guy who had Cata in his youtube name (Total Biscuits friend whom they played terraria together) and Nixxiom.
RP sounds cool, but I don’t think I am able to RP nowadays because of family. I recently moved to a house to my fiance and hence it is very limiting on how much time I can devote to game.
I also just want for someone who will have more joy or put these 100k to a better use than me making 15 alts , leveling leveling to level 15 / 20 and dropping them to just roll new class again
As an altoholic I can’t say much about rolling multiple classes, or multiple chars of the same class /warlockenthusiast lol but fair enough if you are determined and are sure you won’t regret it good luck with your endeavours whether in wow or in other games.
The alliance equivalent is still going strong. Did you ever think of sampling the other side OP seeing as your horde connections are gone? Or is horde a sticking point?
Well, I did try making a human warrior, but I couldn’t just enjoy the aesthathic.
I loved orcs and troll like races since childhood. Anything with big swords, axes and is green - is my friend
On the subject of Zen HORDE- I don’t know, but I have not seen online more than 5 or 10 people in the whole time I came back.
I stopped at the end of 8.3 and quit just before the pre patch.
Currently I think I will listen to all kind people who replied here to keep the gold, and probably just wait for 10.0, as I have kind of got what I wanted and that is the Castle Nathria set, but without helmet and gloves.
I love WoW and I love the community. Seriously, I like everyone here. People who also are very outspoken about the game and even to the point of using vulgar vocabulary care the most and I see them as an essential part of this community that is WoW.
I just hope that maybe someday I will manage the time of IRL things with actually devoting myself to the game and make friends to play with. Maybe that loneliness in regards to online play, because my friends mainly play games like FIFA, CoD or Counter Strike - I prefer fantasy, Sci-fi and RPG genre. I played ESO, GW2 and swtor , but nothing kept me as interested and gave me this nice bump to play, from a simplest LOK TAR OGAR, or sheer sounds of Burning Steppes or Hellfire Peninsula ambient soundtrack.
I love WoW and forever will love it, but what keeps gor example you going ?
At the moment I’m levelling some alts up and finishing some achievements I neglected in bfa, mainly allied races I just never got round to completing the unlocks for.
For me, I’m lucky I guess in that I like races over both factions so dabble in both. Small races tend to be my jam as well as trolls.
What keeps me going is largely love for the world/lore and enjoyment of the game base. By that I mean the very basic way the game operates, ie movement, combat, ability uses, it has a total combination that feels intuitive. So it means even on a base level, if a good deal of the content doesn’t interest me, I’ll find something to do like level an alt in an expo I haven’t done in years, or try a spec that’s really unfamiliar.
I do dabble in M+ and will be trying for KSM this upcoming season on either this rogue or my mistweaver (whom I’m going to swap back to alliance).
A big thing Is having like-minded souls to play with absolutely. It totally changes the game. I like to try harder content but I wouldn’t describe myself as the sort whom makes it my top priority. In bFA I ran keys In the 15ish range for example. But I always did it through a community to ensure I was doing it with people with a similar mindset, ie no rage, no toxic behaviour, a level headed approach to mistakes.
In SL I have come to my m+ focus very late in the expo after great faction and alt indecision, but after much swapping, and returning to the SoD community I was in during BFA, I think I’ve found my main faction this expo.
Knowing I can log in and do what I like, but also find some chilled guys and gals to do keys with whom will be more “better luck next time” if we fail, than get cross, especially because I’ve got into it so late. Makes a huge difference to me. It’s what made me enjoy BFA a lot because a whole level of content that was previously less accessible to me, and fraught with experiences that knocked my confidence and enjoyment (despite me knowing I’m not objectively terrible at the game, but not perfect) opened up and with enjoyabale company.
I would go as far as to say my experiences in BFA with Zen horde and SoD “made the expo” for me, and saved it from being nothing more than AR unlocking and the occasional M0. In SL it looks like the same will happen.
Although this game is doable alone, with randoms, its infinitely better I you do it with reliables. It removes all the artificial barriers the wider playerbase but in the way of just getting at the game. I know why they’re there, sure, but for me, getting into it and doing, learning from that, is vastly more important than developing a schedule so I only do it “the right way”.
EdIT Irrespective I hope whatever you do you find to your liking, but if you do decide to come into SL again and sample blueside, feel free to let me know. Always willing to have another on the friends list. The alliance presence on AD is pretty strong so if you were looking to re-home I could help out with gold if need be as way more than I need.
