I will start by saying that I absolutely love WQs. I think that they’re the best content outside of raids. It used to be fun having a lot of stuff to do every day when I logged in. Opening that world map and seeing dozens of WQs all over the place, and knowing that later on a bunch more would spawn!
Now I log in, I see 5 world quests on my map of all the zones, and to be completely honest, this makes me sad. I feel like there isn’t stuff to do, and it’s just because some people hate WQs. You know what? I hate M+, I’m still forced to play it every week because I want to raid mythic, but I can’t have a lot of fun outdoor content because the M+ runners hate it?
The worst change you did in DF was reduce the spawn times of WQs, and you guys kept it for TWW. “boohoo if there’s a lot of WQs, people feel like they have to do them all” you know what? I have to do M+, I hate it, I complain about it all the time. I would much rather spend hours and hours and hours doing WQs than run M+. And no, I don’t want to log in on an alts and do the same WQs over and over again, I want like 20+ WQs every day on my map, wouldn’t even mind more than that. Make one batch spawn at daily reset and another one like 12 hours later, they can stay up for 24 hours, “boss mob” WQs with lots of rep can stay up a few days like they did in Legion. Like, yes, look at Legion, look at BfA, give me the “complete 4 WQs for this faction for a reward” thing again. Give me my world content dopamine, please.
Maybe add a button that hides WQs from those that don’t want to even see them on their map, so that they can pretend that WQs don’t exist at all. But please. I want more WQs. I love them so much. Best content outside of raids.
Edit: there’s currently well over 20 WQs on my Legion map (49 I think, some are on broken shore, which is later content, but just wanted to point out the amount difference. and most of these have 21 hours remaining, they will be replaced with new ones tomorrow, some get replaced later today. I miss this.). Zandalari and Kul’tiras each have over 20 WQs. 30+ in SL zones.
Also, wanted to add, somebody said to me the other day “if there was no M+, the game would be dead.” and well, to me it feels dead when I don’t have tons of WQs to do in current content every day.
