    This game suffers from many engineering and perception problems, which I will inventory below:

    1) The method by which incremental rewards are dished out is little more than an obvious skinner box. It's clear the manufacturer is making an attempt at player psychology and data driven design, but it falls very short of the mark, leaving many frustrated and apathetic toward the game. 2)    This game suffers from many engineering and perception problems, which I will inventory below:

    1) The method by which incremental rewards are dished out is little more than an obvious skinner box. It's clear the manufacturer is making an attempt at player psychology and data driven design, but it falls very short of the mark, leaving many frustrated and apathetic toward the game.

    2) The game's developer community has grown increasingly arrogant with each of the last three expansions, becoming less human and more alien to the community with each post. The lead designer in particular is entirely disconnected with the customer experience, and refuses to take feedback to heart. The company's entire design team has taken a stance of the enlightened master, rather than as passionate creators, and the quality of all of their products suffers for it.

    3) The expansion's features feel like a step back from previous offerings in the series, most notably the artifact system. In the previous expansion, the artifact system was the cornerstone of a rich, well designed chunk of content designed around selling the game's lore and class identity fantasy. In the current iteration, the artifact is just another item to grind and has little if any bearing on the story. Even the NPCs with whom one must interact while dealing with this new artifact narrative is in an ancient zone from wow's history that has no relevance outside of needing to go there to click on this one guy and then return.

    4) Overall, this game has a very shovelware feel to it - rushed out the door for a quick buck like your average call of duty or madden yearly release. The passion and perfectionism of Blizzard as a studio has been abandoned in favor of releasing subpar content before it's ready.

    With these glaring flaws, it's difficult to see where the game is positive. Uldir, the initial raid included with the expansion, as well as the initial dungeons are all fairly well made, if a bit bland. The Uldir raid in particular is barren of lore and excitement, merely putting the heroes up against an invented villain who represents an invented threat. Uldir is a far cry from Ulduar of wow's past, but it is a serviceable raid with a few memorable moments and mechanics. The dungeons, on the other hand, appear for the most part lovingly crafted, if a bit buggy.

    The leveling experience and story, particularly for the alliance side are enjoyable, but ultimately deliver the player to an endgame that is underdeveloped, unfinished, unfun, and unrewarding. It never feels like a commitment to the game is going to yield rewards, as all reward systems of previous expansions have now been replaced with a thinly veiled algorithm based reward system that is frequently frustrating and unfun to interact with.

    Overall verdict: 2/10. The introduction to the world is great, but there is no longevity in that content. None of the 'evergreen' styled content feels meaningful or rewarding, and most dangerously - it does not feel like being a member of a community within this game yields any benefits beyond the social benefits, which other products like Discord and other games can replicate nearly effortlessly.    … Expand

    World Quest - Will NEVER replace daily quest, they are boring and way too much RNG-based.
    Warforged/Titanforged - Ok, someone needs to get fired. Bring back the Timeless Isle upgrade item and farm for Valor Point, just an example.
    Warfront/Island Expeditions - No...just no.
    Faction Assaults - Really? Where the new ideas. Nothing new.
    Azerite - Ok, this has to stop, right now.

    They made leveling take 3 times longer, implemented a GCD on all abilities, everything is tied behind boring and tedious reputation grind, even advancing in the main story, they removed active and passive abilities that were baseline and put them in the talent "tree", made 20 reskinned horses as "new" mounts. That's just 1% of all the issues and I can write a book of all of them.

    It's an expansion done on a budget with a lazy ass self-absorbed dev team who ignores all feedback and tells players to play how they tell them to play and it shows well. I was not expecting such low quality from Blizzard, but here we are. It's more important for them to scam people to give them money right away instead of thinking long term, making a good game and profit from it.

    I wouldn't play it even if it was free to play. It's a dying game with dungeon queues taking more than an hour. If it wasn't for realm sharding, you would barely see anyone in the game.

    If you're looking for an alternative mmo with fast paced combat, great gameplay and talent trees, instant queues and millions of players online, I recommend Neverwinter online. I quit BfA for that game and I won't return to wow unless they bring back mop class design, mage tower-like challenges and class specific questlines. When I miss wow, I just play on a Legion private server which is 1000% better than the current beta for azeroth crap.    … Expand

    The reason the critics gave it a 79 and it's got a 3.1 User Score is because the game is like a beautiful model you go out on a date with but underneath that flawless skin lies a nasty mean person.

Yes if this game was a single player game of 25-40 hours I'd give it a B+ as well. The lands are gorgeous the leveling activities from 110-120 are enjoyable. But once you get to level 120 (CAP) that is where you leave the CRITICS that reviewed the game behind. The Critics only stuck around to take a tour of the new game and level up. They didn't stick around to have to do hundreds of hours of boring quests on a world map, deal with endless reputation grinding, and warfronts and expeditions that after a few attempts put you to sleep and bored you to no end. Had the critics continued to play the game which few I think do. (Better to have a critic that is an avid WOW gamer) then they'd have seen that once you get past the exterior and basic quests/lands that it is monotonous, repetitive, and boring. There is NOTHING different when you go to level up other character alts. It's the same repetitive, boring, same experience over and over. I'd give this a 3 score myself but because I feel they are at least trying to fix this with patch 8.1 I will give the game a 5. It has promise and it could be a good game. But they released it with way too little content after the leveling phase. An MMO needs to have 90% of it's content available only to max level characters but this it was more like 20%. I have no interest in playing now until the new patch. But that's why the CRITICS love it and the GAMERS playing it do not love it or very few do. There are many other issues too like game balancing, the azerite armor system is broken, the classes are made boring to play compared to earlier expansions with extensive talent trees or the Legions artifact system...just zzzzz. At least in Legions there was different class quests, dozens of cool weapons to unlock with different specs and classes. So this game gets SUPER OLD SUPER FAST in it's current state.… Expand

    What would you get if Activision's financial department developed a video game? Battle for Azeroth. Everything is intended to keep you subscribing and paying for their additional services, with very little in terms of fun gameplay or design. It's a good thing "Blizzard" started selling cereal and is moving into the knock-off Chinese mobile apps because they can't produce a solid game anymore.

    Virtually the entirety of the games new content is locked behind repetitive rep grinding, much of which doesn't even take place in this expansion, so it is both unfun, unproductive, and unrewarding.

    Bugs, Imbalance, a terrible new pvp system and a general lack of polish make this by far the worst iteration of WoW.

    BfA is without doubt the worst WoW expansion ever released. I pre-ordered the deluxe edition and wish I hadn't as I am no longer subscribed to the game.

    BfA is essentially a series of frustrating chores for very little reward. Of course WoW has always been about the grind, but getting any sort of tangible reward is almost entirely dependent on RNG and not your skill or time spent in the game.
    The allied races advertised (Kul Tiran and Zandalari) are not even in the game. BfA was released in August. I am writing this review in January. Kul Tirans and Zandalari are STILL not in the game. They are also (like all other allied races) gated behind reputation grinds, another chore that no one really wants to do.

    Also, the Azerite system that was advertised as being fun and engaging is almost meaningless, with ilvl upgrades having different Azerite traits that require grinding Azerite in order to unlock. However, all traits are similarly valid, and unlike the legendary weapon system in Legion there is no personality or interesting aspects to the Azerite system. There is almost zero lore behind it, and in game the system is very confusing and makes you wonder why they added it to the game at all.
    There are a myriad of other problems with the game currently but in a nutshell:

    Unless you absolutely love Mythic+ or Uldir (the only raid released so far) there is very little reason to stay subscribed to the game in it's current state.

    Hopefully the next expansion will be better than this one, but I doubt it.    … Expand

    They say that we need to "experience" the world, so they nerf leveling hard so man has to buy leveling boosts to be done with the insanely boring and broken solo content. Why have leveling boosts if you really think leveling is fun and should be mandatory? You will get so many group quests and dungeon stuff you can't do because you are the only one playing solo in some old content. I regret buying this junk, and it even costs money per month to play this garbage... and still they have to make it as boring as possible. I only like the multiplayer aspect of MMOrpgs, but in WoW, you will be stuck playing solo for most of the time. Why is solo content even a thing in mmorpgs, still. when will this genre evolve?

So lets take EVERYTHING GOOD about Legion... and do COMPLETLY DIFFERENT" and thus we got fricking BfA. Here are the points that makes this expac pretty bad and not worth my money anymore:

    1) Global Cooldown on Everything: It only took me somewhile to realize why would they do something so dumb as to this... Global Cooldown slows gameplay mecanics, turning it into a slower process, it is uncomfortable for rotations and completly destroys the surprise factor in casual PvPing, because you actually need to do a goddamn ritual to proc your bursts (This SUCKS pretty bad). Later on I realized why they did this... it was to make tournaments last longer, giving healers and pvp comps time to manage damages and outputs, it might sound fair in a 3v3 championship, but it is not in a casual pvp system, the countereffects is that healers are now immortals and would need more than 3 damage dealers to take down one healer, this turns evidencial as to most of the tournament matches, they force a losing team because both teams can't kill each other since heals are too strong by causing healing diminishing effects to 0% - 100% accordingly to the time the match is on
    2) The complete DEAFNESS between devs and beta testers where as to many classes there were complaints about mechanics, that specific stuff needed to be changed, there was a major consense as to ele shamans and shadow priests, that was completly ignored by devs... the game was "released" (I still think its on BETA right now), the problems the community said started to appear and the devs promissed a rework (for shamans and shadow priests) and nerfs to GLOBAL COOLDOWN on some classes like Prot Warriors on patch 8.1, which didn't came, they said that THERE WASN'T ENOUGH TIME FOR FEEDBACK AND TESTING (xD IKR?) so they'd need to wait for the next EXPAC for a rework (that felt like a spit on my face, tbh), they keep on nerfing classes that could virtually solo a healer like Assassination rogues, but the number of rogues in random battle grounds keep on rising (because the pvp is so crappy that no one wants to pop out of stealth except for a kill), and generally have an idea on how bad the expac is by the number of rogues in my team in a 10vs10 match, which is usually 3 or more.

    3) This expac went out really buggy, annoyingly buggy, even though this is not a factor that would make me stop playing the game (I've been to private servers, I know how buggy it can get), but there are alot of issues about performance since they decided to migrate into Windows 10 (The daily disconnect that disconnects you from the internet for about a sec, the disconnect on dying, locking your character in a disconnection limbo... all that crap)

    4) Ilvl does matter in PvP again, so you need to gear up your alts in a grindfest so that you can pvp in a good way and that's a problem because balancing over the patches is so fragile, that in the flick of change by the devs, turns your current main pretty bad in pvp/pve content, it's not consistent

    5)The azerite neck and talents SUCKS, I won't get far into this since they said they'd do an overhaul about it... the artifact weapons talents was good, this neck, not, it sucks.

    6) This expac is about taking away from the player instead of giving, I am used to the idea of "WOW, level 80 cap??? New talents??? Omg hero class Death Knight!!!" or "Level 90?? Wow I'm eager to test this Simbiosis skill balance dudus will have!" or "Level 110 and honor talents, ARTIFACT WEAPONS??? GREATER PYROBLAST??? NO ONE WILL TOUCHA MAH SPAGHETT NOW"... BfA = "They'll take away our artifacts??? What about our weapon talents??? Why would you take away my Ele Shaman Lava Cannon Build?? Will I still be able to blink as a dudu???"

    These are the major turnoffs that made me abandon 10 years of loyalty, there are other issues that are completly overlookable... and there are things that are good in the expac, but it doesn't come on top of all these f ups Bli$$ard did... I loved this new Mythic+ season, the Warmode is a good idea but that's just it... the gameplay feels really empty.    … Expand

    No new PVP (the azerite resources map is a joke). No new spells/abilities, removal of class hall usefulness. Professions are next to useless, scrapping is an awful idea. Dalaran now not a hub, the new hub also has no AH (way to go devs). Zone monster auto ivlving ruined so there's no high level and low level zone, now they are all equal, yay! gold medals for all. Nice idea in theory, in practice it simply removes the high/low level zone areas altogether.

    The iLvl reduction from legion to this reminds me of everything having a similar feel to timewalking dungeons from the past, the players are all scaled no matter what their iLvl is making the dungeon tedious and frustrating.
    All of the fun of becoming a super iLvl killing machine was *fun*, going back and demolishing old content was *fun*, currently it feels like the fun factor has been removed from the game alltogether.

    Legion was a blast, i leveled almost every character up having fun along the way. BFA i leveled one tank and it burnt me out (tedious run after run with underpowered players by my side)

    Finally over this game, the gfx are looking dated, the games fighting mechanics are boring, world quests are the same thing over and over.
    Oh and all of that you have to PAY to play this is insulting to seasoned players (Feels more like a reboot with nerfs than an expac)

    - Pretty much everything else really.

    Would i recommend BFA to others?
    I would rather recommend people into sleeping with their sister than to invest even 5 minutes in this game at this point in time.

    Would i eventually return to WoW?
    BFA is pretty much burned toast. Blizzard cant do anything to fix it, since the things that needs to be changed is the very core of the expansion. The only hope for WoW to survive is that Blizzard find their own forums and read just a couple of Reddit posts about what is wrong with the game, and then return the game to its core values, and letting the developers do their magic to the next expansion.

    For the first time in 14 years have i unsubbed from the game, because of the game. I unsubbed before due to lack of time and real-life stuff, but this time its different. The game has been ruined and molested by KPI's and immediate shareholder profit. The thing is though, nothing about wow is short-sighted and immediate, it is long term and time consuming.

    Battle for Azeroth is the first expansion that lost all its appeal for me in less than two months time. Between the terrible class balance, the boring and repetitive reward systems and the overly simplistic class design, it was the way you collect and level up azerite gear that made me cancel my subscription.

    I thought 8.0 was the worst.
    And I thought the situation could not get any worse..

    But that was a huge mistake.
    Blizzard has created even more enormous garbage, no matter what you imagine at 8.2.

    World of Warcraft can no longer be called a game.
    It has become something that only delays users' time, and sticks to the Chinese market.

    It's not news that this is the worst expansion in the entire history of the game.

In addition, to force you to do endless daily quests, the game has nothing to offer in return. I just want to raid and play the arena, but in order to be competitive you need to sit all day and do these quests, thus you have absolutely no time for other game content. In shadowlands, they will add even more daily than in the bfa and the legion combined, and to all this, I began to notice for a long time that they have a fetish for not only not flying the mount for a long time, but now you also don't ride it. Some characters will simply have to run on foot from afar to the distance to complete quests (The Maw Worst DоgSh1t). You must finally understand, in order to keep players in your game, you don't have to make them grind these dumb quests every single day. My advice to you, return the visual designers of the Nighthold raid, as well as the boss of the fight designers of this raid, this is the best thing you have done in the entire history of the game, it's a pity that the game lost its continuation after this raid of patch 7.1.5. I hope when you return the Legion to the live servers, stop it on this version of the game and do not release either the Tomb of Sargeras or Antorus the Burning Throne. The game could have ended on the Nighthold Raid. I want, like many others, to play only in that expansion, and no new patches.… Expand

I am a hardcore world of warcraft player that has a max capacity of 50 characters and i've played this game for 10 years. I can tell you coming from both a new player experience, aka making a new character and play throughout the new expansion, this is the most consumer unfriendly expansion I've witnessed in all my years of playing world of warcaft. Okay enough complaining lets talk about the expansion, so the whole expansion is just a big ol' mess of RNG, every single thing that can possibly make your character more powerful and fun to play is completely locked behind an RNG system, basically a random chance on every single piece of armor you obtain, the only armor pieces guaranteed to have the stats and azerite traits you want, aka the BIS meaning best in slot, are all dropped from raid bosses and the funny part is you can only do this once a week, one chance a week. Same with the weekly chest once a week you get a chance to get your best item, this is horribly frustrating and just a bad experience for new players, it is just the common bait and hook strategy to make players addicted to playing the game week after week. If you want the absolute BEST gear in the game you do what's called mythic raids, the hardest content in the game, mythic raids are locked to ONE lockout per week, aka you only have one chance per week, and that one chance is a literal once chance so if enter the mythic raid with that one group you must complete it with that one group, if you fail to do so then you just lost your chance for the game, so it basically looks like blizzard hates raiders. This has been the worst expansion I've experienced in wow history and I even quit the game because of it. The real sad part is that it looks like they are doing the same exact thing with the upcoming expansion, shadowlands which will lock your character behind one covenant, the base mechanic behind the entire expansion players are going mad about this feature as it locks content for characters that just makes the expansion completely unfriendly for even new players, now before I finish this review I want to ask you a question, What happened to you blizzard?… Expand

    2) Azerite armor, which supposed to fill the emptiness that was created after turning our artifact weapons off, is garbage. It does not fill anything, it is hard to get, its perks are absolutely random and stupid. Overall - today's gearing is the worst in all 14 years we play that game (trust me, i play since 2005).
    3) The idea of the expansion, its selling point were Island expedition and warfronts. Both of these things are a joke. While Islands are ok as a levelling alt tool, warfronts are a stupid AFK scenario with 370 piece of gear reward. It just makes no sense, its ez, stupid, fast and not fun.
    4) dungeons contain way to much trash, its boring to fight. Some affixes are far more difficult than the others which makes you just skip the whole weak of doing certain dungeons (tyrannical in KR, for example).
    5) The whole game now is around gambling. Everything is a lootbox where you might get something, or you might not, maybe it will be good. And thats gambling is in everything: in gear, in cosmetic rewards, in petmount rewards. Everything is random. And we still got no pvp vendors.
    6) Professions are a joke. Skins are cheap af, you wont get any gold on em. While the flasks and pots are extremely expensive and most of the players use flasks and potions FROM THE PREVIOUS EXPANSION!!!

    Pros: The world Blizzard created in Battle for Azeroth is gorgeous. The new characters and factions are fairly interesting. Both faction cities are well designed and you feel like you are home after raiding, doing dungeons or questing.

    Cons: Artifact weapons, legendary items AND class tier sets have all been replaced with the Heart of Azeroth and Azerite armor system. The heart of Azeroth is a necklace that you use to collect azerite which in turn raises the item level and power of the necklace. Azerite armor has many passive abilities that can be unlocked as the Heart of Azerite gains power. None of these powers do anything to changes the way you play.

    I don't want to type a book here. The number of cons caused by just the Azerite system alone could fill an entire page. I think one of the biggest is that overall your character is so much less powerful feeling in BfA than in Legion. Despite the leveling zones being gorgeous and the quest pacing feeling brisk enough to not be overly grindy IMO, leveling is not enjoyable because each level you start feeling less and less powerful. If you are looking for an action MMO with a bland reward system, have at it. If you want to play an MMORPG, look elsewhere for now.    … Expand

A real downgrade from Legion. I am not at all intrigued by the story, unbelievable and hypocritical storytelling on both sides (‘Honorable’ Horde burns down the capital of the most passive faction of the Alliance and commits mass genocide; Alliance and Horde have fought together countless times, and are still waging war, even though they obviously have similar values; Tauren would've left the Horde a long time ago (death of Cairne, Garrosh, Sylvanas), Nightborne join the horde because of the unnecessairy 10.000 year old distrust of Tyrande (Who has lost all her character due to bad writing), even though they have just as much reason to join the Alliance). I'm forced to do quests which I don’t support, I am supposed to be 'the champion of Azeroth' but I can make zero decisions in this war. It has become more of a Marvel movie-type story than the story on which WoW was based on. The obligatory PvP was a terrible decision (you can switch it off, but then you miss out on 10% bonus xp, loot and rep, so you would be stupid not too turn it on, even for PvE players). This results in constant random deaths at ANY level by ANY level character (up to a point where it becomes impossible to progress in an area). Overall boring everything: Questing has become boring and dumbed down, mobs scale with your level which makes you feel like you’re not growing stronger but weaker; World quests were an interesting new addition in Legion but has become boring and old by now, grinding azerite in land expeditions should've been a battleground (What is this with azerite anyway, shouldn’t this bet he main story of the expansion? Healing Azeroth? Instead it is your new uninteresting artifact). Boralus is unimpressive. No new spells and abilities (I rather have a 100 spells, which might not be useful, but at least are fun, than to be limited to a few like Guild Wars). They’ve killed a lot of characters (either in reality or through bad writing), and there aren’t that many left that are interesting (and there used to be a bunch). To end on a positive note, dungeons are quite fun, Zul’dazar is a beautiful city, some classes are still fun to play, new races are nice (even though Void Elves’ and Nighborne’s loyalty to Alliance and Horde don’t truly make sense)). Still fun, WoW will always be fun, just the worst expansion to date.… Expand

    - Lots of bugs on Mythic+ (timed and harder versions of normal/heroic dungeons)
    - Extremely unbalanced classes, more than (The Burning Crusade) TBC. And this is coming from a rogue, one of the most op classes atm. Shaman is basically non-existant, if you play one, better reroll another class.
    - No sense of accomplishment. You main item is a NECKLACE that does nothing, nothing at all.
    - There's a kind of event every 2 weeks aprox. that you can afk for 30min and get the most op itens (Warfronts)
    - Warforge, Titanforge, Megaforge, Ultraforge, Lameforge. You can basically get 50 versions of the same item.
    - Las Vegas mode on. You don't need much effort to get the best itens, just pay your monthly fee and hope to get what you need for your character development.
    - Time-gated content. Progressing through the story, reputations, missions and character development is time-gated. You'll have access to some things only when they say you will, even though you already could but they want you subscribed for longer.
    - PvP is bad. They advertised this expansion as THE PvP expansion, but nothing was added, just "warmode". A on/off option to attack the opposite faction and ONE new battleground, NOTHING new was added. Even PvP Gear is RNG! WTF
    - They don't give a sh*t about player feedback. I've played beta and like many pointed out most of the flaws this expansion would have. Guess what? They didn't hear us.

    This game is no longer WoW, it's a warcraft themed game with slot machines being it's main core system. Blizzard has lost it's way with WoW. I might not be an expert in game mechanics or the most theorycrafter guy but some things are simple to see.    … Expand

    This expansions has way too much RNG. Nearly everything is RNG right now. The azerite gear system takes the worst parts of the previous expansion's legendary and artifact system and combines them. Weapons above 300 are hard to come by as they are often given for a specialization you dont play. Liike for example assassin rogues getting swords or axes which can only be used by outlaw rogues.This expansions has way too much RNG. Nearly everything is RNG right now.

They continuously add new elements to the game designed to prolong the time it takes to progress through the game instead of adding more game to progress through. This was to keep players from unsubscribing between large content patches. However, these systems cause player burnout at an even faster rate.… Expand

    A quite well-made expansion, but not without flaws. If they get removed by the creators, the rating will improve. However, you won’t regret buying it. [Issue#290]

    Battle for Azeroth offers everything you could expect from a World of Warcraft expansion, but its scale is visibly smaller than Legion’s and there’s no truly new quality here. All that doesn’t change the fact that the charm of this extraordinary MMORPG appeals to me almost as strongly as 13 years ago. [10/2018, p.42]

    Blizzard plays it safe, incorporating few innovations while trying to salvage the lore situation of Warcraft due to its constant escalation. Despite all this, BfA remains an entertaining expansion with a lot to offer in endgame for a casual player.
