I’ve been playing on Noggenfogger EU since the launch and I’ve had a lot of fun. It’s just that the game isn’t what I thought it would be. The grindfest, the griefers, the elitists and more importantly the lack of intervention from Blizzard were the final nails in the coffin. #nochanges is just a mindless mantra. Obviously, changes were made, but not in the right direction. J. Allen Brack was right in the end. At least in my case.
Me and my gf have sold, donated and deleted everything in WoW. Take care and enjoy life, folks !
He wasn’t right. They just screwed it up. I was more happy with quality on some pservers.
That launch, overpopulated realms, transfers all the time, bugs, exploits, “dead realms”, AV… Blizzard with so much money and devs could make it better…if few amateur guys from pserver can handle it better, why not Blizz?
If it’s not for you then it’s not for you, that’s fair enough. Good luck to you and hope you have a great new year!
But… I don’t see why everyone needs to make a thread saying “OMGERD I cancelled my subscription because I don’t like XX!!!”.
What’s this thread going to achieve?
The elitists and griefers you can get rid of by just joining a friendly casual guild that just wants to do dungeons and raids every once in a while. You can also put nice people on your friendslist and ask them if they want to tag along.
I did that too, but even the private, illegal servers had better systems implemented, like faction population balance, anti-botting tools and a lot of things. For some reason, Blizzard doesn’t care or is too slow to do something. I see farming bots daily, in fact my dentist is a bot user and they are all free to ruin the game for all the honest players. Reports and bans seem to take months to happen while I am paying the subscription to be cheated by others and by the company’s lack of interest.
I still enjoy it, on other criterias than 15 years ago tho, and sometimes even the same when I can disconnect my efficiency (which is rarely since time is of the essence these days).
However the way people behave, what they complain about and how they approach things has lead me to see that we, the player base, also have a big part to be blamed for how Retail is at the moment.
The worse thing Blizzard did is listen to us.
I’ve been playing since TBC. It’s not the grinding that got me, but the things I mentioned that made grinding much worse.
Sometimes you just can’t get rid of abuses and toxicity, no matter what you do.
No need for translation, less human paladins the better for alliance, never seen really worthy one. They are mostly rets or bad pve players. Cause all good ones rolled dwarfs for a very obvious reason.
What did you expect for a game that is 15 year old?
Yes there are things that got me excited and liked but playing a game that i used to play 15 years ago is not gonna be fun for a long time.
After all when you know what is going to happen next and what to do it is kinda dull. The only thing i like and expect on this game is when AB is going to release as it is the best BG with a lot of fun
I won’t run also , fck Usain Bolt elitist . Wont play football also,hate that elitist Ronaldo.
Elitist excuses don’t make sense, always someone will try to do the best what can.
To be honest? You just were super hyped and now understood its not your cup of tea.
Im casual.
