What gameplay feature(s) do you miss?

For me, I miss Brawler’s Guild - which appears to have just been completely shelved for now in place of (predominantly) solo-instanced content such as Delves and, soon, Housing.

Another person recently reminisced about the dungeon Challenge Modes from MoP.

And, another feature which (for some) was controversial: reforging. Getting rid of undesirable stats for ones that were actually useful!

What feature(s) do you miss from WoW? Would you want to see them return? Or is it better left as a fond albeit distant memory?

The Mage Tower when it was released and could not be beaten with ilvl.

I wish Blizzard kept implementing challenges similar to the Mage Tower while keeping the difficulty constant. It’s not hard for Blizzard to make it so your ilvl is fixed when doing those challenges so that they would remain a challenge in the future, while also not being able to be bruteforced with ilvl.

Brawlers, Reforging (cause it made me feel better), Better Story writing & better character writing: Less IRL invovled “ideas”.

I want Covenants and Torghast back, exactly as they were, just tuned to fit future expansions, preferably make them permanent features.

Don’t @ me.

Plunderstorm, trial of style should happen more often as well, covenants as in SL, Torghast

Warfronts.

I really liked the concept of that feature and wished that Blizzard would have kept iterating and developing it. It really presented the Warcraft fantasy in its purest form I think, where you have two factions on the battlefield in all out war – and you get to be part of it. Like zooming in on the RTS games.

Your gear is scaled down in mage tower.

If anything it’s harder now as there is no borrowed power (at least I heard that)

Reforging and I miss being able to just craft where ever I want… Brawler was very cool as well but I thought it was coming back?

Good class design, before Legion.

There was talk of it returning sometime after TWW had launched but then there was no further update. It’ll be another evergreen feature “soon”.

Torghast, Warfronts, fun world content like the Pandaria Farm, world pvp features like in Nazjatar, creative content like the Suramar solo thing (I don’t remember the name but you were running around with the wreched version of Nightborne in a roguelike-ish mode). I also want the heart of azeroth to work in the old world again, same for covenant abilities(but both won’t happen), I also want the azerite armor to work in old content and timewalking. I can go on.

Still, the game is in its best state in almost every single way. I won’t complain.

Bring back the old MP5 mechanic. I miss spirit, I miss the scaling of manapools with intellect, I want my replenishment buff.
I miss the old feel of the game, everything feels so rushed now a days.

I miss the old talent trees; how you could dip into, say, shadow as a holy priest to create truly horrid, but fun, specs.

And I also miss when guardian and feral was one, sigh.

Chakra stances for Priest… Frost tank and Blood Dps as DK, a Beast Master spec that doesn’t procc a whole zoo of pets I can’t control / customize and ranged Survival… oh yes, and definitely reforging. Garrisons to do all my mining and herbing in one place.

i like your topic.
there are a lot of things in wow that i miss.
but for starter/
1 i miss the days that hunters had different kinds of arrows and bullets with different damages on them

2 resistant stats on the characters.\

3 simple but deep and mysterious contents. (even the zone itself was something else )

4 the removed enchants that you could use on a lot of your items.

5 Bags with special effects or stats (only very few people saw and used this in wow)
for example there was a bag that when rogs used it . if you were using vanish spell instead of the effect of the spell it would be like a big smoke bomb with green smoke under your character. like those in assassin creed games. but bigger.

there are more but sadly my memory is working on these for this moment.

these were the ones that i used it was in my mind from 590 Gigabyte years ago but if i can remember more ill tell

Torghast, expanded to use more environments and mobs and with an ever-increasing power list.

Glyphs.
Reforging.
Not almost every spec being a builder-spender iteration.

Also, pet battle dungeons.
