Youtube is bad for wow

Just cause many people bring up the same points it doesn’t mean they didn’t all copy/paste the same youtube video, especially when those points are demonstrably false.

Also regarding your post, which one do you want me to address? because they are all bad, some don’t even make sense. What does “World quest classed as content” even mean? it’s a bad thing? it shouldn’t be? as opposed to what? daily quests which weren’t classed as content? who classed them and how do you know if they were classed or not? do you ever think about the stuff you type? or because someone else said it then it’s fine to copy/paste.

And yes blizzard listens to complains, but not all feedback is equal, some is justified, most isn’t. Also not all feedback leads to positive change, just look at arcane mages, it’s terrible state is in part because of community suggestions.

World Quests should not be in the game, they use them as content just like the new zones in 8.2 few quests then spam world quests for next 4 months.
All the best(player count wise) expansions that was released never had world quests and never used them as a content.

I’m not saying all rants about class changes are good but 90% of the complaints are about how dull and depressing the classes are to play and how everyone loved it back in MOP.

I’m not going to sit here and back and forth with you about useless stuff, only blizzard can see by the sub count how good/bad the expansion is.

World quests were strongly desired by the community. They exist because blizzard listen to community feedback.

Heels also made positive videos and even said what the good parts of BfA were, it’s the simple: “He mainly is negative” thus a troll. Heck he even made videos how to improve aspects of BfA but people don’t see those. And Belluar? Most were giving negative feedback since alpha and beta stage, he held on so long to try to stay neutral and now he is a hatemonger too after he finaly cracked? They can’t win.

Yet all that feedback during alpha and beta they never acted on and just outright deleted. Posts of mine which took like a hour to format (lol one even ahd hundreds of likes) were just deleted. So why should I bother making a new one? The problem is Blizzard doesn’t act to feedback till it hurts them financially or sub wise. We got the point people were asking “Why even have alpha or beta if you don’t change/adjust anything and kepe ignoring the huge feedback about it not working (class design)? We are just wasting our time.”

Only thing I hate about MoP class design was the split between feral and guardian, I liked the both in one the best. Druid never felt the same and still not to me ever since MoP. But anything else class design wise? It’s hard to come up with critique. It was fun, engaging and treated us as long-term players. Right now it’s pruning, simplyfying (DK runes, auras paladin, stances warriors etc.) and making skills passive mostly. We get you can’t keep adding stuff but taking away so much the past 3 expansion laucnhes doesn’t feel good aswell.

I am interested how classic will be welcomed. It will be classic from a gameplay perspective, but I think people don’t miss the classic gameplay but the classic feeling. I am looking forward and I wish everybody the best time with classic, but I think there will be a lot of disappointment.

I disagree. It is still a good game. I would like some aspects to be reverted to make it a better game (in some aspects it was better in my opinion), but I don’t think previous expansions where straight up better (from a gameplay perspective).

I play mainly my priest here and as discipline I am far from a lack of active abilities despite the lack of many cooldowns and utility.
As shadow I have my core abilities (already more than 4), with some situational spells plus some cooldowns.
Maybe this is only true for some classes.

I prefer world quest over daily quests and you have to realize that you can’t create content as fast as it is consumed, so you need some repetitive content (and since you can only guarantee for yourself to play there should be solo content that is worth repeating).

I think there are too many and they are not rewarding enough to be worth exploring. But I don’t mind the attempt.

I don’t mind normal (non elite) rares, but I agree they are to abundant and they don’t feel rare in any way. This is really annoying.

I don’t mind passives, as I said I have a good bunch of core actives plus situational spells and some cooldowns. I don’t mind some effects as passive addition.
This of course depends on class and spec and your own playstyle.

I don’t know if you would like the whole talent tree consist of actives (please don’t) or if you want every row to have at least one active (I wouldn’t mind that - I think I would like it). But this is the third time you complain about not enough active abilities and as priest I simply don’t know if this is a personal issue of yours or if this is a class or spec issue or if I am just weird because I don’t feel that way.

WoW is 14 years old, that’s the reason people loose interest.
It is not a good game for new players as a lot of WoW derives of of engagement with the story/the character/the other players. So I would not expect a lot of new players and some players loosing interest seems kind of normal.
I am surprised WoW is still as successfull as it is after all those years.

Is not constructive, this sentence won’t change WoW for the better. I think honest feedback towards certain elements is a lot better for WoW.
And the mentality of people being wrong if they like aspects of current WoW really annoys me.
There are aspects I would like to change (either into a new directions or in some cases back to how it was), but I don’t think everything took a turn for the worse.

To be honest … if you think WoW is in a state that bad … yes, unsub.
Give feedback to Blizzard, why you unsub and do so and give it some time to change. As long as it makes good coin (perhaps even better than with a different approach), why would Blizzard change their concept.
I do think you supporting WoW financially, while calling it a generally bad game is, why it it does not change. The ones defending current WoW seem to like it, why would they want the path to change.

This seems like a reasonable complaint concerning pruning.
Stuffing everything into classes is not good, but if there was a previous state that should be aspired towards, I would really appreciate if Blizzard would listen.

I will listen to other people’s opinions and consider what is said, however the only opinion that means anything to me is my own.

YouTube is a terrible place to get honest opinions from as they are moietised as driven vids, this creates the need for such videos to be controversial, outrageous or bandwagony to generate the clicks.

If you’re enjoying the game as I am, that’s great. I couldn’t care less if some attention seeking div on the internet wants to convince me otherwise.

If you’re not enjoying it, then stop playing and find something you will enjoy more and leave feedback as to what you didn’t find a good experience or drove you away. Come back when this has been addressed.

TLDR, who cares what some bozo says on the internet, your thoughts and opinions are your own.

The people who make a living off of bashing WoW will continue to bash WoW untill they stop getting views. So if you don’t agree with what they’re doing - stop feeding them views.

Can you tell us which ones aren’t ‘propaganda’?

this is probably a troll post. or a blizzard shill. one of those.

nothing wrong with watching other peoples views on gaming companies, and how good or bad the state of the game has been.

the true evil people you need to keep away from are the SWJs. cause then your youtube recommendation feed will go into extreme mode.

No one is forcing you to watch Asmonbald and his lackeys, right?

Yep remove all the little things that keep people playing the game .on ur context we should also remove character creation page because it gives headaches to people choosing or making their own toons .

nah im pretty sure im able to figure out how utter trash the game has become myself.
i mean why else would i ask myself what i should do 5min after logging in? ofc there is always some m+ or whatever but all that content feels meaningless and rather boring and dont let me start about arena cuz thats unplayable.
So if i ask myself wtf am i doing here while playing a game that used to be so much fun that i have spent waaaay more then a year /played,
i am able to decide for myself, without any video or what ever ,that the game has become sht.

ps those self proclaimed youtube crictics are most of the time more honest and trustworthy then the “real journalists” that get payed etc for their views and have no clue about gaming whatsoever

A load of bullcrap… there is nothing to defend as argument are just stupid and not even close to truth.

Many enjoy exaggerating their criticism. I guess they think it packs more of a punch that way. And while it does come off as stupid there tends to be some truth to it.

yes it’s hyperbole but have you seen some specs? Arcane is even a 3 button spec, no pressing hero once every 10 minutes doesn’t count for 4th. The DPS rotation is 3 buttons.

If WQ aren’t content why do keep upping the rewards of them invalidating group current M+ and raid content? The moment the majority stops doing them they add anathor 15 ILs.

Yes the treasure chest of BfA (bwuahaha) are not even treasures but people recommend that as doing content, “Oh god! 9 war resoruces!”. People ride past them.

Rares are everywhere and they can be soloed with no problem quite the ease. Rares that respawn in 30 seconds aren’t even rares, they are glorified named easy elite mobs.

Hyperbole but yes, so where is my aura choice on paladin? My stances on warrior or precenses on DK (that’s what they were called)? Oh to make it easier they made it a passive… bad players never switched good ones did. Everybody equal again.

Yes we got no more updated to talents since WoD launched. They only took away talent choices. There should be a 110 row and a 120 row.

When was Arcane not a 3 button spec?

It’s just the msot extreme example, but frost DK joined them aswell now and fire mage is basicly there aswell (pyro for 1-3 targets and Flamestrike at 4+) since you just spam fireball and do a Fire Blast at the correct times. Scorch is only usefull fo kiting and if spec into you just replace Fireball with Scorch if the target reaches 30%. It’s has been very much simplefied.

It would have bene nice if they added the artifact abilities as leveling rewards from 101-110. Nope just scrap them, and if we preserve one we delete a talent and replace it with said artifact ability.

It’s not though.

Arcane has always been like that. Simple rotation + mana managing mechanic.
And you have to press Arcane Power - that’s a 4, PoM, thats a 5th.
So no, it’s not an example.
