Outdoor content and levelling is such a massive waste of time

I enjoy so-called end-game content and maybe some achievement hunting…

However every patch every expac we are forced into slogging through pointless “campaigns” - I hate it so much… I’m just figuratively “dying” doing those can’t fail quests… the writing is usually horrible so nothing really makes it enjoyable.
On the one hand we are offered challenging content like high M+ and mythic raiding or high level PvP but to prepare our characters for this we have to slog through the uber casual content with literally no point in it…
I mean, I don’t really have a good solution for this since I’m aware some players refuse to do anything than outdoor content but I just… I just hate every new patch because of the bunch of pointless quests we get. And I know many people with the same sentiment as mine so it’s nothing really outlandish what I’ve written above.

at least classic had some minor challenge in fighting NPCS and now u literally 2 shot everything and the only deaths I ever get are either war mode ganking or when I go AFK leaving my character in the middle of a spawn point and I get pinched to death.

The difference in difficulty between open world and mythic raiding is absolutely astounding.

Don’t mind this post, it’s just random rambling but I really really hate the “outdoor content” in this game because it’s too east, still takes too long for worst reasons and is just plainly uninteresting.

The peak of my last two days was a side quest in Zaralek Cavern where i had to “listen” to an unskippable tale of Hraxian… and I couldnt even click and alt tab… i had to click several times… being force fed with poor quality writing…
The only positive is that the campaign is time gated so i dont have to do all chapters at once… they have mercy xD

Sounds like WoW isn’t a game you should play. Maybe it’s time to focus more on your RL

I have always thought of WoW as a whole package.

The game isn’t just M+, PVP or Raiding. The game is all of it.

There is always someone that says this and this topic you decided to be you. It won’t help the game to improve. You do know that the game is on life support and nobody plays it and if the remaining players take this advice who will you left to play with? Just because the game works for you because you are either a tank or have a fix group and can gear easily does not mean the game is well designed.

Everything besides M+ 15+ and hc/mythic raid is completely useless and redudnat.

I wish they just would stop making garbage open world content with their current team because they are clearly incapable of making it not suck.

This was almost the only content in Vanilla. I played for six months and only made it to level 30 with around 30g back in 2005.

You need to know the story and the characters before you go kill them in a raid and the Campaign quests are pretty quick these days. You’d do the initial leveling Campaign in a week, you’d do the Forbidden Reach Campaign in half an hour, not sure about the Niffen stuff yet as it’s not all out but I imagine all in it will be a couple of hours.

I mean FF14 does the story part well without making you do garbo WQs and “events”.

Campaign quests are so bad it’s not even funny, if they weren’t named as such they wouldn’t stand out compared to the usual fetch quest.

Blizz devs in your room with a gun to your head yeah?

Sounds like it has become too easy for you and I agree. Questing, dailies, rares… theyre all too easy and not challenging at all. It is something you have to go through if you do like the endgame tho.

I was really into wow and had a lot of alts. But nowadays I cant bother leveling or gearing at all. Only content I enjoy is pvp. I only have 2 80’s. One is this priest and one is a evoker as i was curious to its healing spec.

Wow has lost its charm to me. You ranted, now I did too. Do with it as you like :yum:

Yeah, and thats basically 90% of the “world” content. FF14´s zones are extremly void of any kind of meaningfull content besides doing a few “kill x” fates or grinding a few mats.

That’s a taste thing tho, no?
Cause I did not enjoy the story or the forced MQ style of playing in FF… it kinda put me off playing.
I enjoyed bard tho and housing!

WoW has become a clusterfridge now with the lore and chromie time etc.
I was kinda hoping chromie time would give like… 4 options-ish:
1: “I’ll summarise the lore for you within your leveling time!”
2: “Choose to level however/wherever you want!”
3: “Level “the old-school” way” (No scaling)
4: “Level in “current” content.”

It’s … a mess, to say the least. :frowning:
I’ve been enjoying taking it slow on my HC toons tho and doing leveling as my main focus, rather than getting to end game. (In retail!)
… - while also playing both normal and HC on classic era! :dracthyr_love_animated:

I hate it when everything is instanced. I like doing different things in the Open world.
I am so glad the war fronts / Torghast and such things have been removed and more activity has been added to the open world.
That is the way :dracthyr_blob_dance_animated:

You enjoy your stuff and I’ll enjoy mine without removing either, okay? I like to relax when I play and do casual outdoor stuff. You can just zip through it and slog through what I consider boring end game stuff.

Aye, i think the problem is what it has always been, even if it’s way better than previous expansions…

Bliz trying to force all players through certain things.
They should do more of get X Y or Z done for X reward… doing all 3 doesnt give more rewards…

Outdoor content and the campaigns with all the quests are what keeps me playing, as soon as I run out that’s when sub ends. If you don’t actually enjoy them makes me wonder why you are even playing WoW since they are such a large part of it, sounds like you are still playing purely out of habit.

I literally said I do the meaningful, challenging end game content. Troubles with basic reading?
I just hate the outdoor content that is somewhat necessary if you play the game but is absolutely gobsmackingly easy and boring

No I can read fine I just didn’t bother to read your whining boring topic.

then you are answering into a void. pointless and stupid
