How to fix WoW

I of course agree nobody is forced to do certain content.

The schedule you show is exactly what i mean. Only M0 was unlocked. Not M+. But delves 4 and higher were.
M0 is dropping 593 veteran gear, if i am correct. Delves 8 are champion 603.

So yes we smashed our 16+ coffer keys in that week :sweat_smile:

Excuse me?

I have merely read OPā€™s post, and put my own thoughts to the topic.

Whether 4 differently people have said other things in this thread, is not a matter I care about. I have said my bit, and Iā€™m going to move along and put you on ignore so you canā€™t harass me any further.

Have fun.

Oh so when faced with facts its now called being harrassed :roll_eyes:

Na you did not put your own thoughts to the topic you said:

You absolutely falsely categorised delves to be supposed to be side content when I reality they are supposed to be an endgame pillar and then you ofcourse say they should take the gear from it so itā€™s not ā€œrequiredā€.

That does sound less then an opinion and more like ā€œfactsā€ or atleast what you believe to be facts.

And I donā€™t mean to be mean if your opinion is that delve should not be real content then say it that way. Itā€™s easier to respect one opinion when it is said as an opinion and not as hard facts

Hmm, that sounds like Iā€™m putting my thoughts on the topic.

I mean, it is side content, at best. In terms of quality of content.

I appreciate that some people like them, but theyā€™re no more enthralling than Torghast or Island Expeditions were. They wonā€™t really be missed if Blizzard moved onto something else.

But Iā€™m not going to argue with people whether theyā€™re good or bad. I was just sharing my thoughts.

I think that sounds like you state facts especially saying make it the content itā€™s supposed to be.

Like when I had that opinion I would say ā€œI think delvs should be side content that doesnt give lootā€

See a ā€œI thinkā€ or ā€œin my mindā€ makes it very clear thatā€™s just what you think

You want to bet money on that? Real money?

Iā€™ll make this simple fellah. You take a piece of my content away. Iā€™ll take away a piece of yours.

The audacity of a community that is always screaming about a lack of content yet feels it has the right to take away content because itā€™s ā€œboringā€ to them.

Raids. PvP. and Mythic plus bore me to tears. Pick one you want taken away.

It may be not content that you like or the people you play with but itā€™s content that others like so why should they be changed in a way that they are less ā€œrequiredā€.

I honestly think saying any content is required is strange. If you dont like it donā€™t play it and if you really play on a lvl where even the tiniest 0,5% count then you want to be like that and that comes with certain consequences

hey, read into it what you like.

Iā€™ll write it how I want to write it.

As I say to everyone else, I donā€™t expect you to agree with me. But I donā€™t expect to receive petty responses like yours and the other guys.

If you donā€™t agree with me, thatā€™s all you need to do.

Just read these forums. Itā€™s full of people who want to change content that other people enjoy.

I just happen to think that Delves are not important enough to carry on. They donā€™t feel any more special than any other ā€œsideā€ content that we had over recent expansions.

Peoples opinions differ.

Oke we have different opinions.

Maybe you can help me understand something that I honestly donā€™t get.
Why do people want content the personally donā€™t like be changed or discontinued?

Like I really donā€™t get it. I hate m+. I would never go there again no matter what but I would never in a million years want it gone or changed.

The forums account for approximately 5 to 10% of active players.

Thats your opinion. Blizzard obviously feel that Delves suit the purpose they were designed for and judging by a lot of posts and threads Iā€™ve seen.

Delves ARE a popular feature. people (myself included) wish they were expanded upon to maximise their potential even further.

Yes we all do but I stand by what I said earlier. No one. NO ONE has the right to take content away from other people just because they donā€™t like it.

Because if that was to happenā€¦

WoW would be dead and buried by 14:00 CEST.

I am gonna take it! Here I come taking your delves. ooooOOOOOooo here I come!

Letā€™s get something straight. I donā€™t want it to be discontinued. I just couldnā€™t care if it were to be discontinued.

I would like it changed because I donā€™t really find it challenging or engaging enough. Each delve went on for too long, and were far too slow paced. There really is no excitement to running through them.

I tried Zekvir and again it was a mildly boring experience, which relied too much on trying it over and over again until RNG eventually falls in your favour and you beat it.

Again, thatā€™s just my own opinion. Iā€™m sure others have different opinions on it.

M+ was building on something that we already had and building on a way that players were already engaged in doing since Vanilla. Dungeons are a core part of the WoW experience.

Delves donā€™t really do that, nor do they feel like theyā€™re adding anything either. (again my own opinion).

I enjoy M+, but I can definitely see the negatives it has brought to WoW. Whilst I fully accept this would never happen, I would love to see WoW return to the more linear progression that it once had. Long levelling, dungeons, 1 tier raids. But those times are gone and WoW has developed around the way people play the game.

But it seems that the moment, there is a fork. Blizzard are trying to develop the game away from how people have been used to playing it, and this is making the game suffer.

And it wouldnā€™t surprise me if it is heavily skewed to represent a certain type of player. Rather than being a perfect 1:1 representation of how everyone enjoys playing WoW.

Most people I play with probably wouldnā€™t know the forums existed. Let alone agree with anything that is discussed as a ā€œpopular opinionā€ here.

Yes, thatā€™s my opinion. As I have stated all along.

Excellent. I would love to see you in some of these appauling FOMO threads. Because there seems to be alot of people in there who want to take something away from how I enjoy playing the gameā€¦ that is time limited rewards.

Sit down silly sod!

(If anyone gets that I will be very impressed)

I agree to a point, but whatā€™s important to keep in mind is the target audience for delves. This is not supposed to be a super hard, sweaty experience. And it has to be doable in a comfortable way with the gear you earn through delves for that target audience.

Delves arenā€™t made for mythic raiders as an extra side activity, for instance.

So the progression through delves has to be in line with their intended purpose and design.

Yes absolutely.

I myself havenā€™t even reached the upper levels so I donā€™t know how hard they are exactly but if people want even more challenging delv content Iā€™m all for it but it should be as you said in line with delvs and not something you only do with raid gear after you raid logged

sadly, I know how videogames work. Contrary to public opinion, FOMO has been a thing in videogames since PONG.

PAC MAN had FOMO by enticing you to pump endless 20ā€™s into it to gobble up all those pips.

Space Invaders had it when they made you pump endless 20ā€™ps into it to kill those descending aliens.

Street Fighter 2 had it when they made you pump endless 20pā€™s into it to fight a new opponent.

Sonic the hedgehog did it when they made you spend 40 quid to buy Sonic 4 to see new stuff.

Final fantasy did it when they released FFVII on da 4 disc collection and heavily marketed it with the tag line "Someone get cartridges a cigarrette.

Or if we want to move onto more modern timesā€¦

Bethesda do it with Fallout 76.
Square Ebix do it with FF14
CAPCOM do it with SF6
MIDWAY do it with MK
NINTENDO do it with Zelda.
SONY do it with God Of War.

FOMO has. And always will be. A unfortunate necessity in videogaming. because otherwise. People wouldnā€™t play the game.

Why do people raid? Fear of missing out on gear.
Why do peopleplay M+. Fear of missing out on gear.
Why do people PvP. Fear of missing out on PvP rewards.

FOMO sucks. But itā€™s what keeps you playing.

It is a necessity to keep you playing. Itā€™s necessity to create excitement. And itā€™s a necessity for the business to promote itself.

Anyway, letā€™s not go off topic, especially on this subject.

Remove mythic raiding or make it more tangible for players to finish it or maybe even farm it for rewards since one of the main problems of wow since forever is the drop out in players after a month or two.

Make no mistake about it, the dificulty, exagerated in some cases, will drive people away.

Player housing is a meh concept for me perosnally, but iā€™ll play around it, and collect everything put behind an achievement.

The rest is too casual oriented for me and i donā€™t care

Till next time
