Thank God you started this thread and could tell us what video games are for!

You gotta stop thinking about leveling as the obstacle to you playing the game. It is as much part of the game as the end-game youâre rushing towards.
Yes! This 100%.

Games are in their nature compettive entertiment. Footbal, Tennis, Board games, chess, video games. Even if you dont have goal to be top chess players you still play in order to win. But if oppoment in this case world(pve) content is just too easy you wont enyoj that enncounter. It is like playing chess vs 8y kid with 15y of experience. You will beat him easly but satisfaction from it is exactly 0. Just like facerolling bfa content in LFR or rare mobs in the world. It doesnt have to be super hardcore just make mobs actual threat. You know there is something wrong when you pull rare nd that mob casts spell for 3 sec and when it finishes cast it hits you for like 2% hp. It not engaging it is not fun.
Is it just me or is everyone posting these kind of posts a demon hunter main?
Anyways,
No wonder you donât like the game because you are a 12-year old brainwashed by the mobilephone Hack and Slash, constant action type of games. Can you even focus on a thing for more than 6 seconds? I really doubt.
What you should do is:
-
Turn off/uninstall Questie
-
Turn off the Fortnite stream
-
Turn off your 2nd, 3rd, 4th monitors
-
Turn on In-game sounds and music
-
Read quest texts. Try to understand why you are doing something in a quest. (Stop doing quests for XP, do them for the story).
-
Try not to look up any guides on what you should put your talent points into, itâs much more fun to read what your talents do and make your own builds.
-
Relax and enjoy the experince, once you hit 60 you can start looking up guides on what you should actually be doing.
The game is meant to be an adventure, not a Hack and Slash dps simulator.
People have this crazy mindset that you have to be 60 as soon as possible so you donât miss out on things. Let me tell you something⌠you will have plenty of time to enjoy the end game content once you reach 60. Donât worry about it.

Retail feels like much more work than this. All trivially easy worldquests you have to spam on your main⌠right, who could possibly have the time to do dailies and mythics on multiple alts every day? I mean thatâs work if you ask me.

What class are you leveling its easier with a warlock or a mage im leveling a priest only level 23 I forgot just how bad it having to wand everything down more than one mob no chance start running.
You know whats the difference between Classic and Retail? Classic is a real MMORPG and because it is one, leveling is an adventure (i pitty those lvl 60 grinder, they miss so much) and endgame is the reward for your adventures because you grew from beeing a talentless noob and turned into a skilled adventurer but you may never be a hero BUT you can try to turn into one. Retail WoW is a singleplayer themepark MMO with playerhubs that is far from beeing a real MMORPG. It has way more in common with Diablo 3 for example. Lootsystem is literally a slotmachine simulator.
There are people who enjoy real MMORPGs and those enjoy WoW Classic and there are people that want epix thrown at them and those who enjoy slotmachines. I pitty those who enjoy instant gradification, those wo want rewards for literal 0 work done. Short term satisfaction⌠i prefer the longterm satisfaction and Classic provides it.

Diffârent strokes for diffârent folks
Itâs the marmite question
I just dinged 20 on my Lock - thatâll allow my VW to hold aggro, upgrade a DOT and Shadow Bolt, give me the Succubus quest and my first AOE
Love it

I am having fun, I do not need or wish to explain to you why I am. If YOU are not having fun feel free to return to easymode.
Brutally - because a slow, boring grind is content.
Iâve sunk about 30 hours into WoW Classic this week. Iâm sure many have done a lot more.
Thatâs about half the time it took me to go from 110-120. Its probably an understatement - but I suspect in BFA Iâd be rapidly be tooling up my character in the current patchesâs catchup gear, and could go PUG normal Azshara. And then⌠and then? Retail WoW has killed the game for the low-skilled non-casual player that frankly I am convinced was their target demographic. They have a small population willing to commit the time and resources to mythic raiding, and a big blob of people happy to do 2-3 daily quests an evening and then log off. The middle however has grown more and more alienated.
I donât know whether Classic WoW will âlastâ. But there is a long way to 60, to pre-raid BIS and then at least some time raiding. More than âyeah, I went and got the Curve achievement in 2 weeksâ.

Iâd enjoy it more if I could actually get on when I want to get on.
If you donât like it, you donât have to. I have played for years on private servers and am glad that I can finally play somewhere where I know I wonât wake up one day and all my progress will be lost forever to to the shutdown of a private server. If youâd prefer a click click win experience, there is a welcome home for you in retail.
Itâs not going to be everyoneâs cup of tea. There is no rule that you have to play

Go back to BFA so we get shorter queue times.
Progression with every level + community= Engaging gameplay.
How do you cope with the rep grinds? How do you cope with the WQ?
And no itâs not because of friends, itâs because of the multiplayer aspect. I for one am genuinely curious how people can still be interested in the treadmill of retail. Like reallyâŚ? I tried it three times with BFA, but gave up on the third attempt. I played all expension (expetion of WOD).
ITS VANILLA EXPERIENCE, DUH!
IT HAS TO BE GOOD BECAUSE IT WAS IN MY 15 YEAR OLD MEMORY!!
Thats why.
What awful boring talents with a 1% increase and no heirlooms can make out of a horrible question experience.
I donât. This is why I try to get it off my way. No, not all who play and enjoy classic like the grind and the leveling dread. But you see like with all forms of WoW, also classic offers things for different typed of players. Some enjoy the journey, others enjoy whats in the end. One might not like the other.
I can say upfront i loathe leveling with passion. In warcraft, in Skyrim, in Fallout or any other game that has levels as numbers. It is a dread. Yet I am here - playing Classic. Because I like what awaits me on 60. Things with friends, random pvp and some pve. grind, not for me. Slow leveling - god no. BOOOORING. But luckily classic has more than this.
Different people just like different things. Some people like Fallout 76 game too, which is THE worst game I have ever played in past decade. Some like GtA, which bored me already on 1st hour. Should people feel quilt on their game prefferences ? no. games are meant to be fun and what is fun for anyone is just for them to know.
I havenât had this much fun in World of Warcraft for a veeeery long time.
If you personally find it boring, then perhaps retail with your friends is the way to go. Donât force yourself to sit through something you donât enjoy.
if youâre one of those people that canât stand levelling slowly for whatever reason, get gud, you can do it in like 5 days if you learn how to, like say jokerd.
If you donât want to immerse yourself in the lore and the zones and explore, speedrun it, like they do.
Or donât play classic at all, if youâre not having fun, why play.
