The real problem is that blizzard keeps churning out throwaway content, I don’t see a single reason to log in to BFA quite honestly on any of my characters.
In a video game essentially everything is meaningless but it used to feel like some of it had meaning now it doesn’t even have that, the game has failed at the simple task of suspending my disbelief that I am playing a video game, the immersion aspect is completely gone despite the world design and aesthetics never before taking into accounts proper levels of geometry, nicely designed areas with lots of things to discover but then why would I go into that world if the only thing to do there is mainly throwaway content? : )
It really is sad that a lot of people will never see 99% of the quests in the game because the leveling experience is so janky and honestly awful now, where the entire thing feels like a singleplayer game that has a co-op mode rather than an MMO.
and again every single one of these quests has been worked on and developed, daily quests used to not be re-used lvling quests but specifically designed quests to be completed daily, this was also noticeable in the way they laid out where these daily quests were (usually in hubs, nice and convenient so you don’t want too much time grabbing all of them and the objectives would also usually be close by) if you wanted to do them you could, they were almost 100% optional.
World quests? they ain’t optional buddy, you want rep that you need to progress the single player game? well gotta do those quests, gotta grind out the grind, you don’t even get the option to not raid like you used to, there is simply not much to do outside of prep for raids, there used to be more to this game than just raids and rated PvP but now its mainly a singleplayer game outside of those instances and even there you barely ever interact with people.
and the biggest problem is that with buyable lvl boosts blizzard kinda lets show that they know the lvling experience and most of the quests while lvling from 1 to 120 don’t ever get any attention and this is fine for them because its content to be thrown away.
Level 1 to 110 is largely content that has been thrown away, I Guess content from 1 to 60 is making a comeback on august 27th but other than that most of the game is in fact dead, gigantic portions of content people have stories about and enjoyed doing is gone. Thrown away content if you will.
