    What Battle for Azeroth lacks in new stuff, it makes up for in character.

    The greatest testament to Blizzard’s design in this expansion is that it’s worth wading through Battle for Azeroth’s seemingly endless and frustrating grind, all in the hopes of helping your group of four friends push their keystone up one more level than you thought was possible — at least, for now.

    Battle for Azeroth is still good. Great, even. One of the best expansions World of Warcraft has seen. Cinematics are driving the storytelling stronger than ever, and a handy apocalypse providing a nice reset for the decades-old plot. There’s a wider range of ways to play, and what missteps are taken feel more like minor nuisances.

    From Mythic crate bugs, to Warfront afk 390 gear, this expansion has everything!

    Ignoring balancing issues, the team really dropped the ball this time. The AMA was a joke, and was held specifically because things are BAD right now. All the people pretending everything is just fine, remind me of that picture where a dog is in a burning room.

    Just run a comparison of this xpacs features versus Legion or others.. If they added two new classes in BfA it would have made up for some of this nonsense.. but instead, they still don't have the existing classes finished, until 8.1... Good Lord...    … Full Review »

Between the "hotfixes" and faction based warfront rewards, you should avoid this game like the plague. They have nerfed rogue pvp into the ground so badly that I've had to reroll. Rerolling in this expac isn't easy due to the grind of rep and azerite power that severely puts you behind other players. I have had to choose to play a healer to have any chance of catching up to the current content.

    As for warfronts, they gave major rewards to the horde while alliance got nothing for two weeks. Horde guilds are now leading the world first raiding purely due to the blunders of Blizzard developers. Decisions like these are riddled throughout this game. Once again, save your money and forget that this game exists.    … Full Review »

    Really sad to say, but this is the first xpack i dont even feel like i want to login or level at all.

    Its really just Legion Gameplay (as in WQ, grind for AP,..) but more like a downgrade.
    Further Class "pruning", no new Talents or spells, you actually get weaker from leveling due to their scaling system, new GCD added on every spell so Gameplay is slower and less fluid.
    They keep removing the RPG out of this MMORPG since a while now.
