It’s funny how u all want to talk on behalf of blizzard. I want to play sod on my main, not other version of wow. Phase 3 is empty and I don’t even play that much. Just add more stuff to do.
the f are you talking about, fool?
that’s totally a thing in classic, arguably moreso than it is in retail, unless you consider spamming dailies for gold “having something to do on your main”.
no bro, i am talking about actual meaningful activities. lots of that stuff at lvl 60 in classic.
honestly, saying this isn’t a thing in classic just tells me you never played classic.
Really? I was 60 in Pre-raid BiS with my professions maxed up 1 week after Classic launched back in 2019, what are these other “meaningful activities” you are refering to in Classic?
Apart from a Honor Ranking system (which is capped in SoD, unlike Classic) that came 3 months after Classic launched, there wasn’t all to much to do between phases, outside of raids and in most cases longer than 1 week after new phases launched.
Whatever things you could do in Classic, is the very same things you can do now in SoD; stock up on materials, gold, consumbles, farm (useless) reputations or PvP.
Would be interesting to hear some of these “meaningful activities” that would keep people logging in between raids in Classic. Fishing for IDs? Fighting over Tidal Charm? Camping Black Lotuses? Trying to get the chest in STV?

Farm eng stuff for pvp, farm tidal charm, farm pve bis, farm pvp bis, farm gold, farm rare patterns, farm rare eng patterns, farm firewater, duel, tournaments, do your worldbuff gathering routine, 4-5 different raids every 3/7 days, farm demonic/dark runes, herbs/arcane crystals/devilsaurs, silithus rep, hydraxian rep.
there’s a whole list of things i properly can’t think of at this given moment you could add to this list.
certainly a lot more than incursions and a single 1 hour 20 man raid on a 7 day lockout.
Out of that stuff, on SoD you can:
farm eng stuff for pvp, farm pve bis, farm pvp bis, farm gold, farm rare patterns, farm rare eng patterns, farm firewater, duel, tournaments, do your worldbuff gathering routine, farm demonic runes, herbs/arcane crystals/devilsaurs
and although I personally haven’t done it, I’d assume you can also farm tidal charm, ye?
there’s a whole list of things i properly can’t think of at this given moment you could add to this list.
So I guess the “nothing to do” on SoD is also a lie.
Double standards. Double standards everywhere.
All of these things can be done in SoD now aswell, and I would have to disagree that they are “meaningful” activities keeping people logging in.
SoD had a raid every 3 days up untill Phase 3.
Classic had about 1 year between Onyxia (which nobody ran after a while) and ZG (later AQ10).
Most of the Classic raids could be cleared in less than an hour even without speeding, closer to 30 min while speeding, so there’s little difference raid duration.
Im not saying SoD has alot to offer, but claiming Classic had much more to do simply isn’t true. It’s all the same for people racing towards a red light.

I played 2019 classic, Cleared All raids naxx, AQ 40 and previous raids.
Can tell you i was raid logging there as well outside of doing some DM east jump down to kill flowers and herb dreamfoil.
There’s not much to do.
The World buffs you do on raid night.
Ofc I did some pre-BiS stuff before MC.
Most things you said above are just ”Fluff” and not things i consider ”To-do”
Bros idc… I don’t play classic, I play sod and I want more content to keep me playing. I am sure blizzard doesn’t want their customers to leave the game cause once you are done with the grind content there is nothing else to do besides farming gold.
For example retail has mythic+ which is an endless game. I am not saying add mythic+ in sod but do something similar.
ya good luck doing those things at lvl 50.
you might be able to squeeze in some unique farms if you play shaman or hunter, such as mobs in silithus, but that’s it.
no, you literally cannot farm rare patterns or recipes because they are locked behind unavailable content such as strath and scholo. dude you can’t even do full BRD yet. its hella gated.

ok so then why are you playing if you think there’s gonna be nothing to do?
like i just listed what, 10 different activities and you flat out dismissed them because you personally cba doing those things?
i agree that content is absolutely barren at the moment, phase 3 has been the most dry phase so far.
i know for a fact that phase 4 will at least beat phase 3 in regards to meaningful things you can spend time doing, but that honestly doesn’t say much.
hopefully, on top of the things i already mentioned, they will add actual good content for phase 4, and taken the lesson about incursions being insanely unpopular and distance themselves from “content” like that in the future.
ok first of all … how important you think you are? YOU completed all the content YOU like … YOU dont want to do other content thät there is … like doing alts, farming gold, doing reps and maxing out professions, preparing for next phase…
so Blizz sux¨, and its their job to make sure that YOU got something to do in the game, because YOU dont want to play other games etc? srsly? ¨this version is not ment to be played ¨24/7 there is small team working on it, iam sure they are doing what they can so next phase isnt rushed and there is enough content for the rest of us .
Because to me… “raid logging” is content enough.
I don’t need the rest of the game to be any thing.
My best case scenario would be WoW token in SoD so i can get gold for consumes without having to click play between raid nights.
I have tons of other things to do, I don’t need to chain myself to one game
But i will ofc do whatever the “New” content for phase 4 is or the preparations that are needed for the raids, I’m just saying, I don’t “need” that content to be happy with the game.
Mooncloth Bag recipes selling for 350g+ on the AH, those are rare. And there’s plenty more examples, heck even the Runecloth Bag recipe sells for 50g+, and it comes from a vendor!
Greater Arcane Elixir recipe showed up on the AH recently, thousands of gold price. that’s a rare recipe no? Why not farm that one?
WoW SoD is like a compulsive disorder for self flagellation at this point
the vast majority of players vehemently disagree with that notion. you are part of an extreme minority.
again, extreme minority.
imagine advocating for having less things to do, like what?
are you trolling?
are you trying to ruin SOD?
tokens will be the deathknell of any version of classic. it literally just happened to wotlk (and everyone who predicted the token would kill the game when it was implemented were right).
ok casual joe, you are everything that is wrong with the game, and its people like you that killed all other versions of wow. get lost dad gamer.
don’t bother.
quit while you are behind.
Playing old skool mmmorpgs means that you create the game yourself in the open world. That’s the design philosophy. Endless quests, achievements, pings, rewards and grinds are for newer versions and we all chose not to play those.
When there’s nothing to do you either make something up or you play something else. As soon as they introduce any of the contemporary mmo systems in to classic SoD me and many others are outta here

ok? then they can disagree, I have played the 2019 Classic and the 2006 classic and every expansion in between.
I don’t need to do it all again, So it would be better with ways to circumvent the things you’ve already done in previous versions.
It’s a bad look to act like this is the first version of classic to be played
Same as above.
People are already buying gold in the hundreds of thousands, Why not allow us who don’t want to break the ToS do the same?
Kinda unfair don’t you think?
I always prefer games where i can buy ingame currency like this.
It’s very Inconvenient when you can’t.
But 3rd party gold buying is not?
Just give me the same option as all the people who break ToS with botting and 3rd party buying, that’s all i ask.
WoW is fun to play, But it’s too much of a time sink if you have any thing else going on, It would be a pleasent idea to make it so that people who don’t want to, can just jump over the worst time sinks.
Oh i will try my best to get gold in a normal way, But one can hope that they add token.
this is selfish. there are other players in the game besides you.
many play the game specifically because they have played it before.
its called nostalgia.
still doesn’t explain the logic behind actively wanting less content in a game that is already dryer than the sahara desert in regards to available meaningful content.
because that’s how you get retail.
have you seen the prices for stuff on classic era? its inflated beyond redemption, you’re forced to partake in RMT if you hope to have a chance at playing it, and this is because of GDKP which incentivizes buying gold.
makes sense that a can’t-do type of person such as yourself would rather swipe the credit card than earn your gear legitimately, and guess what; there are at least 3 other versions of the game where you can do just that!
they even include the wow token you seem to love so much.
not at all.
what’s unfair is people like you circumventing the rules (CHEATING BTW) by paying for power aka trading gold for gear, also known as pay2win.
games that operate like that are considered trash tier games by most gamers, and that’s why people prefer SOD over the other versions of wow, because GDKP and by extension pay2win is not allowed here, so even if you buy gold, you can’t use it for gear because the system will detect it and clap you with a ban, and that’s if nobody reports you for it first.
yes it is.
both are bad.
they are not mutually exclusive in regards to how awful they are. getting gold from blizzard is arguably worse than getting it from 3rd party websites because that means blizzard sanctions it and thus endorses ruining the game, which is exactly what happened and now they are struggling to earn the same amount of money as they did in the past.
corporate greed backfiring 101.
you can’t have that, sorry you’re not allowed to cheat, i guess.
then quit.
if you can’t make the time that’s your problem.
game shouldn’t conform to your 1-hour per week schedule, are you joking bro.
hopefully that never happens. the moment it does is when the game actually, absolutely, one hundred percent dies.
it happened in any other version of the game where they added the token, and apparently they haven’t learned a damn thing from their mistakes.
It wasnt until ZG came out that we had 4 raids, before that we had 2 full phases of MC and Ony, and a full phase of those plus BWL so claiming that you had loads of do all of classic is a bit wrong, and if you had been doing MC and BWL each week for as long as they had been out at most there were some side grades in ZG so calling that meaning full is a bit of a stretch. In that case gnomer is still meaning full as some people dont have their trinkets.
Well, at least you are respecting that my opinions are actual opinions and don’t go instantly to the “This is unbelievably stupid, and i think you are a troll”
So thanks for that <3
I mean, how does it change your playstyle if i want to have all gold with a click of a button and you want to farm 10-20 hrs for it? You can still play the game like that if you want.
Mongoose already cost 22g for 5, everything is already extremely expensive.
I never understood this mindset personally, There’s no “Prestige” in a video game, it’s dull to think that it matters this much.
Well, I enjoy SoD, Just not the time needed to get gold.
Which should get people banned, But since blizzard refuse to fix the gold buyers or the bots, the same option should be available to those who don’t want to give money to 3rd party and rather give to blizzard.
I keep saying that i don’t want to break the ToS or the rules, I want the blizz store token because i don’t want to give money to 3rd party.
Most people i’ve seen only consider it P2W if you can’t get something without paying, like let’s say, Pay money or you can’t make a shaman for example.
Just getting gold/items is often just seen as pay for Convenience and not winning.
You can, simply just play normally, and i get with what click what you get in a few days of farming.
How does it ruin the game tho? You can still do everything you can do now.
Does not change any thing.
Well, We can hope, You’ll probably be right in the end, same as token did not appear in Classic until wotlk, even tho i quit TBCC because i just did not have enough gold to have an enjoyable experience.
I’ll keep doing my login 1hr for raid per week and some small attempts at making AH gold and then spend a bit more time during new phase.
Hopefully token or other ways to get easy gold comes with Phase 4.
Would make the game more enjoyable, and would mean you’d be able to sell me more consumes and other stuff at even higher prices.
Still don’t get this, Why do you feel like if all your efforts become pointless makes the game bad and not worth playing any more?
