I am sick of it. I am constantly attacked EVERYWHERE. I get dismounted, dazed, slowed, get attacked by casters, charged at, knocked down, set on fire, poisoned and so on. You can’t get to an objective without this constant annoyance.
Just now i tried to do my mage class hall quest, sat on that dragon and a mob attacked me while i sat on Kalegros and he bugged out. I had to dismount and fell right into this massive valley full of demons.
In some zones you can carefully navigate through all the trash but zones like nazjatar, mechagon and the corrupted zones are the absolute worst. They even put flying enemies in the latter so you are annoyed in the air as well (i can’t fly in any zone after pandaria because i refuse to do this pathfinder bs). That’s why i did the initial quests there and never visited them again. I don’t want to fight trash 24/7 and i don’t like to have to play druid or rogue to avoid it all.
Blizzard must only have utter contempt for their players to put them through this hell. I am honestly about to quit again after my looooong break because everything added to the game reminds me of why i quit in the first place.
Edit: The only solution is to make all the trash yellow aka optional.
Edit 2: Also what’s up with the factions? Horde AND Alliance NPCs are all cowards and i hate them all. You get attacked by a bunch of mobs and noone lifts a finger !
Also hey champ you go in there clear that camp and fetch us some random crap while me and my ARMY sit here and wait. God i hate them so much.
Blizz opens up paths as time goes on and moves mobs.
I started Bfa at the start. You could not move 5 feet as a non stealth. You had to take on one mob at a time till you got to your quest objective. And this was for the whole xpac.
I left just before 8.2. When i came back about a month or so ago i noticed that they moved mobs. Made a lot of mobs yellow. Took away a lot of mobs.
I think it is blizzards intention to slow down progress in the beginning to the point that you have to fight 20 mobs individually to get to your quests objective. This is one of the many reasons i chose a druid. I like stealth. It got me loremaster of all xpacs.
But i am sick of mob density.
I can tell you right now that the new xpac will be like this:
Cant move 5 meters without having to take down one mob so you can move another 5 meters and so on and so on. They stretch out the initial zones to such a length that it will take you at least 8 hours or more just to do one single zone. And this is with stealth. They will time gate and rep gate to the point where it would under normal circumstances months an months to get them only to have them move the goal posts and introduce another gear treadmill. That is even if you reach the last one to begin with.
Crafted gear will be useless as usual by the time you can make it. If you can make it at all.
Blizz is so afraid of losing players that they prolong game play to the point of absurdity. Time gates, rep gates. What are they afraid of? That some pvper is all of a sudden goign to stop doing battlegrounds? Even though they have played them every day for the last who knows how may months? They are taking away the fun and adding more and more “chores”.
The placement is on purpose so you will play longer and their metrics get bigger. Compared to the older zones (Classic > Cata > Pandaria) this was only done so you would spend more time playing their game. Secondly, the developers also increased the leash by 100%, with other words, they will chase you as twice as long now.
This is one of the reasons i took two years off. I was sick of the treadmill and all the tricks they have and use to prolong the game. Time gating. Rep gating. Mob density. RNG on gear. Flight path time instead of giving all classes the ability t cast portals (when was the last time you asked a mage for a portal?). Crafting mats RNG and low drops rates to the point it takes you hours and hours to level your totally useless proffs
It depends on the classes you play but friends of mine quit WoW because their cloth-classes felt awful playing back then. I can’t blame them, the game really took a nosedive with BfA.
Completing loremaster is not good enough for flying so they add more and more objectives now.
So for the new xpac it will be loremaster to start with. Then they will add a few more reps to get in one or two patches later. They wont let you fly until it is totally pointless to have as you will have all the FP’s anyway and you dont have a reason to go back to old zones unless you are gathering resources. The only ones more or less req to have flying are herbalist. I am one so i got flying in all so i can get herbs when ever and where ever i want.
Many of us are choosing to play other games than being tied to an RNG skinner gated rep failed experiment.
If you have not noticed blizz stopped boasting about sub numbers a long time ago. While they were at 12 million sub they had no problems boasting. I wonder what their numbers are now?
People paying 60 euros a boost can only keep this game going for so long.
I lasted two months and i am already ready to leave again. I am sick of the never ending gear treadmill, the time gated and rep gated crap, the low drop rates, the rng of everything. Everything has rng attached and it is only there to keep you on that treadmill.
You must be really fit with all that running you do to get that 17k achieves.
Like this? Not even close. Long ago the game was simple in every aspect, now it’s RNG upon RNG upon RNG upon RNG,…nothing but needless complex, frustrating systems that only make the game worse.
The simplicty is part of why people loved classic, and expansion after that up to a point, you had goals to work for, now goals are impossible because of teh way game is designed.
I do. I only last a few months at a time in this game til i get sick of it.
When xpacs come out i do the loremaster, level up useless proffs and then move on. Have done this since cata. I have years and years between my visits and the game is always the same.
But you think with dropping sub numbers they would change? Nah. Cna’t have that. The grind is real and the treadmill that you are addicted to is just that. A never ending treadmill. You must be fit mate with all that running. They have you trained well i might add
Except draenor’s Pathfinder, all the other, Legion and BfA are … nothing
Actually nothing
You don’t need to grind godawful achivemnts to unlock pathfinder, just play the damn game!
You know? The content
Finish the Story + a few side, and explore a bit, thats 90% of the PF
The rest, the reputation - even if you don’t focus on them - eventually reach the required level
You are sick of the Game? Then don’t play it, easy
Or do something about it - in this case, doing is nothin more just playing the game! And someone with invisibility to vanish and lose the mobs and/or a panic button you are in way better position than others for it
Dropping subs same goes for Classic, and what do you know, the way of getting gear isn’t a threadmill, it’s farm your BiS once and you’re done. If you don’t like farming gear when a new Patch hits then i guess a MMORPG like wow isn’t up your ally, then you maybe should stick to RPG’s which are farm more story driven.
You have not noticed that the treadmill will never, ever, allow you, nor let you be in a “complete” state. They will move the goal posts and add new gear making all old gear obsolete before you even acquired it. Hence the treadmill.
If you are not a hardcore i play every day for a few hours a day player as well as do M+ or raid then this game is now and always was not for you. The goals move before you reach them. This is intentional. To keep you subbed.
