I don’t see how it’s different and I don’t think the purpose of reagents etc is to be immersive but to dissuade excessive use.
RPG is role playing and immersing with the world. You roleplay as a rogue as you likely gravitated towards it - or maybe it’s the a partial meta for Wrath, I can’t remember. Those elements you mentioned are part of a RPG as to what makes it a role playing game, but there’s more to it than just stats etc. I would argue that approximately 90+% of all games have RPG elements in some way shape or form. Survival games are quite the role playing games.
I can recommend Retail if working for your gear, achiements and titles isn’t quite you.
Slowing down and immersing myself in the quest text and not thinking about hitting the next level was the best thing I ever did back in the day in Wrath.
Well it makes sense that Rogues can Pickpocket and hunters tame and maintain their beast companion but I don’t think all things are immersive or RPG-like.
Just because we don’t require a flint and wood to make a fire doesn’t mean they aren’t being used by the character.
We don’t have to take our gear to the laundromat either but our characters aren’t extremely smelly.
If you have time to level 10 characters - presumably to the point of decent gear - then I think you definitively have completed WoW as a game.
That is true, but the removal of it means the requirement isn’t there so it’s much less meaningful. I have actually accepted that flint and tinder isn’t needed now as other means could be used, but I’m carrying simple wood, and destroying one when I create a fire.
In 10 years yes.
Because i tested many servers, many way to play the game and that’s why i knew no RDF will not change the social.
This is how I mostly play. I don’t do addons, I don’t look in Wowhead. Sometimes I know what happens - even in quests I did only once Memory is surprizing sometimes
And I’ve played almost non stop since 2006
I still find new places, quests, items, jokes and so on. I stil love questing and levelling which for me IS the game.
I’ve even done the Iron man Challenge (Death=delete) since 2012, so imagine just how many times I’ve played through the starter zones
And once automated spell aquiring etc. is once again implemented (aka. Cata) back to Classic Era and Iron Man I go.
so, no “Again, lvling is only fun for those who didn’t played for a whiiiiile.” is patently not true.
There’s people who create their own rules and challenges to make it harder - I don’t personally to such an extent, just to make it fun.
I do have a rogue myself, and it’s made me use vanish and blind just whenever in Wrath so far, whereas before I would think about it because it uses a reagent. There’s probably both reasons as to why there’s reagents, but immersion is part of it.
Did you get the soap on a rope from Griftah?
What always made me wonder: You never get wet!
I’ve levelled many characters also, not quite 10, maybe 8, but I’d still go through the normal levelling process if I wanted another.
You didn’t understand my post at all did you?
I understood it just fine: you wanted your levels without working for them. And that’s fine, but it is just another game.
Yeah I knew someone back in Vanilla through to Cata and they were alt crazy, they must have levelled up at least 20 characters that I knew of. A madman if you ask me lol, but fair play he did love levelling.
But you blatantly didn’t. You’ve come to a completely stupid, ignorant conclusion which proves comprehensively that you don’t understand it.
I stated that I was dissatisfied with regards to how unengaging the questing content is when you are vastly more powerful than you should be. It has absolutely nothing to do with not wanting to “work for gear and achievements”.
Dude no, just no. 4.5h per level for me, as shadow priest. I DO agree that its too long, but you’re definately doing something wrong mate… I used 4.5 hours/level until 77, and after getting flying it went down to like 3
My biggest problem with Wrath leveling is that there is literally too many quests in every zone.
You finish so many quests and hand them in and go for round 2 in the same hub and you finish those and you’re only 20% into the zone.
To be fair, there’s only…6-7 zones total and it at least keeps you in the area to get to know it. I myself am expecting to hit 80 sometime at the start of stormpeaks or icecrown, or sooner and I’m just questing levelling other than dungeons for the q’s.

The WG and Wintergrasp exploiters must be sweating right now.
