I thought bfa was awful, but then came Shadowlands… If you are interested in a good story and nice gameplay, then don’t play Shadowlands. Play other games until Blizzard finally improve this awful game. Last time I had fun was during Legion and that is several years ago.
-Along with the cringe lore I really hate that there is no change, no development whatsoever in this game. Just the same stuff recycled in every expansion.
-We have 2021 and there is still no player housing in this game.
-There is still racial segregation in this game, meaning the playable races don’t have free will, making the whole faction choice stuff extremly stale and based on the given races, resulting in a lot of frustrating compromises and hugely worsen the player experience.
-There is still no cross faction play- seeing how bad the faction imbalance has become (costed by the Devs for neglecting one faction over several years) that means, that one faction has a much harder way to play this game since so many players left and if you are in one faction you are not allowed to play with your friends in the second faction. So basically you get punished, if you play the small faction. That is not a way to handle a playerbase and wow is the only game that activly supports such a toxic system. It’s beyond me why they do that and with that why there is still racism with the division of the races. Players are leaving wow in masses and this is definitely one of the reasons.
-Most zones have still horrendous outdated graphic and the customization options are… well… far too few. Again… not even close to what you would expect for a game in 2021.
-Might be just me, but it feels, that even the music got worse with Shadowlands.
-Along with the faction imbalance the class imbalance makes the pvp scene just awful.
