Okay, my question is clear here. I don’t want to insult anyone and I do not want to offend anyone. WoW is a big, a very big realm. Not everyone is playing as hardcore/semi-hardcore as you or the ones you know; and please sympathize with them. I am PhD candidate, I have to spare more time on articles/books than this game (naturally), and I am playing this game nothing more than for fun. I cannot participate in raids, m+ dungeons, world/coordinated PvP events. I simply login for 2-3 hours a day (at max), do daily emissary quests, apply for a few PvP instances and that is all.
Now, many of you would recommend me not to play anything. I was not playing anything in fact, even for years, except for some on/off times; yet, we have a covid self-quarantine now. And that thing is taken very serious in my country; that means, I have to stay at home, no other options. Naturally, I am getting exhausted by doing so, and I need to relieve/comfort myself. I came back to WoW after 5-6 months (Nazjatar was a ‘thing’ when I left; do the math pls), and now we have ‘polished’ Uldum and Pandaria.
I do the stuff that is needed; killing ‘cape’ mobs, completing the WQs of the new areas, etc. I do not, simply DO NOT, do M+ or raids. I cannot spare hours on that. I am very unsure if that data-hoarding website of contemptibleness still exists but you can check my former accomplishments (Negassa on Horde, Auressa on Alliance, both in Chamber of Aspects) that I am very very shy on these. Most of my time is ‘wasted’ in random PvP.
When I came back, I did some ‘mandatory’ stuff and reached to some iLvL. I participate in PvP now; and that is random. But, I, simply cannot kill anyone and cannot survive in any, beware, any 1v1. Please remind that I am an alchemist, carrying alchemist trinket (that means getting 40% more health when using HP pots), and can make the best healing potions to use at my disposal alongside with using ‘non-CD’ healing skills like Exhilaration.
Now, at this point to be exact, many will accuse me of now being able to play the class. Strange but yes, I can be second on that one. I play WoW since vanilla (that is the attributed name to this nonsense by most of my comrades actually), I played all xp packs since then. I was hunter always, alright; yet, I was able to cope with others when I came back and if I did the ‘mandatory’ tasks. Now, in this patch, which many call as 8.3 (the patch that you kill an [another] old-god in another ‘raid’), I am unable to do anything in random PvP.
If you were patient enough to read this far, please [ingame]mail me (I have told my name above); therefore, we can be friends (as long as you want a friend in my mentality). Because I need you, and the ones in your mentality in this game; not not make a coup perhaps (wish that would be a thing someday), but to ‘enlighten’ masses. I am very, very, very (put x672176 ‘very’ next to it) casual player and I want to enjoy the game as a ‘CASUAL’ player. Daily 2-3 hours would be sufficient for me but the game (since WoD to be exact) does not allow me to do so. Yet, I still have faith in the community that I can find the right path.
Blizzard is doing bad. They banned my Overwatch account 2-3 years ago; just because I was seeking the same goal and I cannot login that one anymore. Now I have WoW account since no other games of Blizz interests me.
Here, I want you my friends, and I mean it when I call you as ‘friend’, to reply me with a benovolent manner: Shall I purchase new Shadowlands package of WoW and things will go smooth for casual players (because we exist) or look for another game? I am very very very hesitant that Blizz would care players like us in the next expansion; because it did not do anything in the former ones.
Please, and I want to tell once more that please, you are not obliged to reply this with nonsense. The world can survive without your respond. I, and truly I, want the ones who have some alternative ideas on what would they do if they were in my shoes. I, with my humblest being, thank you all for your comments.
Much love.
I just read the first row and then leave.
