I love baseless posts about people leaving or not, nobody has numbers except Blizzard, just because a vocal minority is posting about it on the forums doesn’t mean anything.

The thing is if the forums are full of angry people and new or returning player checks them before buying the game would you buy a game where on their official forums are just full of anger and complaints. I know i personally would hesitate paying the amount of money on a game that wow costs from base product and monthly fee.
Blizzards main problem is that they are constantly trying to please everybody making nobody happy.
I personally have no problem with loot as i don’t do anything above HC dungeons and LFR because i just don’t find either of those fun at all.
But i do hate all the time gating that the game has nowadays especially the story stuff.
And i really hate the renown/anima grinding and the annoyance of changing covenants.
Torghast/Maw i don’t care at all Maw is just depressing looking and without mount its more chore than grinding pre wotlk reputations and Torghast might be fun but only with right class/spec.

There is nothing that game offers of any value - it is empty content at least at the moment. Covenant Stories are really good snack at start but as soon as you go through with main story it falls short. Mainly these hubs serve as cosmetic vendors and hardly contribute to any e d level content.
Outside of it is still endless grind of bloated M+ and Raids, which today feels like a marathon, trying to distinguush yourself in the endless mess of pug pool with lowest requirements to enter the contest, when player worth is determined by the score of RIO slpped on you like a race runner.
They had a right idea of separating the end game content from each other and bring down fast looting, perfecting the old I to new, but it feels like they have missed out on immersive/fun aspect of the game and it just looks like a frankenstein monster of different expensions.
And if you are lucky to remove that marathon game off your back and enroll in guild, you will quickly find that game is empty after that 10 runs of m+ and 3 days of raiding. Good if you do PvP - can’t talk about subject since I’m not really versed there. Alts were never my thing as well so I found logging in game only 3 times a week for couple of hours until my interestj ust got drained till the end.
But then again its early in expansion.
Of course the forums are gonna be full of complaints, it’s why people come here, to complain, even some of the feedback topics are simply people complaining and disguising it as feedback.
The OW forums are exactly the same.
Probably 8 hours to write the first GDD, not for tuning and implement it.
Bruh 10 char
One of the main problems of SL to me is the gameplay i haven’t really found a class that i want to play. I liked rogue before but now that all of its specs has that S&D back i don’t want to play it anymore.
because they don’t know how to make a working game.
if they make 5 things correct this time, rest of the 15 things are flat out bad designs.
conduit swap locked with 1 change per day, punishing people for playing different content and specs.
there is literally only 1 choice for most specs as in covenant and soulbind if they want to be useful. (which is whole expansion thing)
boreghast being probably the worst thing they made in latest expansions.
you want to play with alts ? apart from boreghast having 8th layer is up for all characters, there is nothing.
they butchered loot system.
running high keys literally means nothing.
so if you are calling this good, you have no idea how “end game” content works.

That’s kinda of a actiblizzard thing, if you check other popular mmos or multiplayer games, they have a lot less ppl complaining about current state of game.
That dubious title still goes to corruption.
Member? I member!
But yes; Torghast is bad. Bottom of the barrel type content.
I’m not leaving but what I don’t like:
Loot - mythic is boring and repetitive, doesn’t really reward anything beyond the vault weekly
I cleared HC Nathria again last night, yet again, not a single drop for me or any other leather user in the raid.
Pvp - huge imbalance with some classes being god tier Mage, Holy Paladin, Warrior while others being practically unplayable Mistweaver Monk for example
Content: content is just boring repetitive Torghast and dailies which not only it’s boring but makes this expansion very alt unfriendly as well. I have 2 alts and thank god they made Torghast layers account wide now but having already done it with both of them it just put me off going to that place
Community: this is not blizzards fault but I think it’s probably the age of this game, everyone is so elitist I mean I’ve been playing since tbc so have achievements to back it up in pve and PvP but this game is so newcomer unfriendly right now it’s not even funny. People expect perfect parses in raid or perfect execution in pvP when you’re going against boosters who basically wow is their full time job

what game are you playing?
I want to play the same game as you do so i can quit wow because it’s sucks balls.
Hmm but i can kill 10 normal mobs for a world quest and sometimes get 75 anima 
I’m not leaving I just find myself logging in less and less.
This is the first expansion since I’ve been playing during end of TBC that I have lost interest and motivation to log on.
Just cant put my finger on it that SL is not doing it for me, maybe its the lack of loot or what.
Was doing lots of M+ during legion and BFA + Pugging raids and doing LFR every week to try get that big juicy TF item.
I know most players hated TF and WF but that give me some motivation to do raids and lots of M+ for the chance of a big WF item. Now its gone the opposite.
I’ve played Classic and I did like the lack of loot drops due to that when u get did win a roll in a raid u know it u will be wearing it the whole expansion well nearly, wasn’t a lot of Dps difference in terms of raid tiers.
Fact that lack of loot and when 9.1 comes out with new raid most of the loot you have will be crap anyway and world quest will properly offer 213 gear , just don’t want to waste my time really
Given up on raiding with guild so time consuming for nothing ( and I work shifts to so cant always attend) , and only doing My weekly M+ for vault, nothing else interests me.
Game is fine, but after giving it a go, the story this time around isn’t for me, can’t get into it. So playing other games that have a setting more to my liking.
Probably pop back when next expansion comes about and see if I’m into the story then. Personally just can’t get into Shadowlands at all, not my thing.
I genuinely believe four small changes could make the expansion maybe the best one yet. However just my opinion.
- Add in some sort of PVE vendor. Mythic plus and raids can drop points/badges. More the higher key. The gear you can buy from vendor ilvl is reflected on completing all dungeons at a certain key level / raid bosses. This will reflect PvP gearing. Make it so you can only earn a certain amount a week like conquest cap. Stop unlimited spam. Allows people to target gear they want and fits in with how loot currently drops. Means you have a goal to work towards and unlike me not be disappointed four weeks in a row with crap vault items.
- Allow Alts to farm soul ash, shouldn’t be a weekly minimum only a max cap for each char which is increased for everyone each week. Like conquest.
- Renown catch up is ok. But the RNG for Alts is tedious or for people wanted to swap conenants. Should be increased drop from mythic and higher. Currently best way to get renown is just spam areana which is silly.
- Remove convenient switch Hassel. People should be free to play aspects of the game how they want. If that means being one for PvP, one for pve or one for just general fun / outdoors what’s the problem. Lore wise all are the same side fighting the jailor. I would also like to play the other storylines but don’t want to have to run three extra Alts just to do that.
I think all guilds lose some players, they get so far into the expansion and decide it isn’t what they want or they’ve seen what they want to. However we’ve retained a core team. I’ve only been with this guild since June last year but they are a really nice bunch.
Last week when it was a horrible Mythic Plus week we played a lot of SMITE instead. I’d never played before. I’m very glad to be playing more WoW this week though.
