    WoW is dying? Yes, he's dying. And a long time ago. Blizzard just has enough resources to support his agony on artificial life support for many years. Games outside politics

    Really mixed bag. The aesthetics are great, but you get three years of the same theme of demons, black rocks, and green lava. There is a tremendous drop in the musical quality of WoW coming off of the prior expansions. For the first time, I found most of the OST to be a dud.

Some classes are 10x better in terms of mobility, damage and survival than others are. For example a demon hunter or a rogue can survive for literally 10x longer with their cooldowns than a warrior can. Warriors will just flop to the ground and die immediately in a 1v1 situation with almost any other dps class. Not to mention how bad the PvP gearing system is, you have to do PvE in order to increase your damage and viability for PvP. The new artifact system also makes it a very rigorous grind when wanting to make a new max level character and have that character actually become useful in a PvP scenario.

    This game took me by surprise. The most popular MMORPG in history with millions upon millions of players was supposed to be entertaining and shocking. This was not the case. The game is an eternal grind for useless gear and levels.

The most popular MMORPG in history with millions upon millions of players was supposed to be entertaining and shocking. This was not the case. The game is an eternal grind for useless gear and levels.

    Let me explain.

    As you level up you begin to receive less and less loot. This should be normal in any MMO. However, the PVP system is built around having all players equalized with the new "Military Priorities" perk that levels out all players on the battlefield. Yes, most could consider this only fair to keep veterans honest and help new players excel or at least try to.

    My deduction is that if you want to play a leveled out game with max characters, head to any moba. SMITE, league of legends, even heroes of the storm is like picking out a max level world of warcraft character and duking it out on an even playing field.

    World of warcraft is supposed to reward you for your grind and hard work, but all you end up getting is an even playing field where one team may or may not have healers, or decent dps. The endgame is basically luck and hoping your team has some semblence of cooperation.

    The game has lost its touch and I wouldn't be surprised if it becomes free to play by 2020 because the hype and money income from Hearthstone, Overwatch, and heroes of the storm will die down. I'm sure World of Warcraft has a negative net income.

    I give WoW a 3/10. The graphics are nice, it has unique classes, and sometimes it can be quite a joy to play. But after playing around 15 hours you will start to think: "what am I doing playing this game"? as you queue up for another useless round of PvP.    … Expand

Played as a druid and noticed why to hell i would bother playing other than resto each other specs are absolute **** specially balance. Over simplified talents also ruin game removes any flexibility. Once they tried to remove rng from this now it is just full of it every item etc.
    Zones are clearly designed for flying mounts and same **** as draenor "Before you can fly Mr Bond you need to you must get certain achievements". Achievements in this case forced content. Game has also become virtual penis jousting my gearscore is bigger than yours. Yippee finally i can run mythic **** in vanilla you actually were either good player or just piece of turd. Decent gear now is just rng gods are with me or they aren't you notice this in example leveling.
    How to get penis jousting with other guys you basically grind your fat ass off either its right legendaries or to upgrade your legendary weapon. So repeat same instances, garrison quests or weekly stuff,
    Professions have become biggest joke why the hell would you waste stuff using level 1 recipes. Some professions you get these retarded reward quests you get 5 skill points when you go cliff take of your trousers take your weenie out have right items purchased and piss all over poor lad. You should always upgrade recipes to rank 3 because it's economical same could be said about gathering. So waste of time doing items when they might with be upgrade.
    Questing and story same old boring stuff that most players are fed up. Either it's kill stuff or collect stuff. Each prof is also tied to some dungeon and zone too need to basically do whole zone to open. Dungeon profession quests was stupid idea at burning crusade and still is.
    So game offers you grinding, nothing new, copied ideas from free to play games such as GW2, toxic community and joy of getting yourself dungeons or raids with utterly retarded or otherwise speshial people. Oh joy! Luckily there are plenty of better things do like having a life. Best way to enjoy this game is never getting one or uninstalling it. Subsription is not worth it not any login rewards just endless grinding.    … Expand

    I'll try to keep it organized. I've played the game up until march 2017 since, well, release I suppose. Story wise expansion is great. That's good news. Bad news: good news end here.

I've played the game up until march 2017 since, well, release I suppose. Story wise expansion is great. That's good news. Bad news: good news end here.

    Legion has introduced new levels of RNG walls, class simplification and content recycling. Prepare to experience the wonders of grinding for AP and legendaries, doing repetitive World Quests, and visiting same dungeons over and over again, but this time forced to go there, as best AP and out-of-raids gear can only be obtained there.

    To sweeten the pot - chance to get what you actually want in those mythic+ dungeons is extremely low (instead of individual loot pools from each boss you only get 1-2 items from doing the whole thing, so chances to get particular item drop through the ground, not even to mention that most of the time you need that item to "roll high" - get a sufficient titanforged bonus for it to actually be good for you, which adds another layer of rng on top of already awful rng wall.

    Grinding for legendaries is another plague that was added with Legion. If you harbor hopes of doing any high-end content - prepare to grind day and night, unless you are one of those lucky persons who win big in casinos in first hour: getting throughput legendaries that are not junk will require you to sell your very soul to RNG gods. Out of pool of ~8 possible legendaries (for the time when I quit) normally only 2-3 are really good, rest varying from semi-decent to "burn and scatter that trash right now", really depending on class. This also not only impacts directly your chances to be taken into a good progression group (also directly linking your luck to how well you can perform - without right legendaries you will never get close to other players who have them, and so you will be quite likely turned down by many progress raiding teams). Not to mention that you should probably give up any hopes of playing your alts - if going through legendary and AP grinding hell on main wasn't enough, you can always opt to repeat it on your alt and sink another sizable chunk of your life into this frustration fueled experience.

    This expansion is totally not alt friendly for said reasons: grinding AP, grinding legendaries, and the fact that thanks to lack of weekly lockout on mythic+ time you spend on your alt is time you could spend improving your main (and potentially getting that one sweet, sweet legendary). If you are in a progression/mythic oriented guild - you will always be reminded that you should be grinding on your raiding character instead of having fun with alts.

    Definition of "Legendary" items has reached new bottom: not it's not just rather ordinary to receive a "Legendary!" item, now it also can be disappointing and frustrating!

    Players that stay for longer periods of time are the ones that are getting hurt by new Blizzard course the most. Currently game is strongly oriented towards "seasonal" players: players who come for a few weeks every time new content is released, only to abandon game until next content influx. If you are kind of player who sticks around from patch to patch.
    Prepare to be frustrated by the game, and prepare to be disappointed every time you see that one friend of yours (who doesn't even really remember what's going on plot-wise) log in for a few days when new content is out to "check it out" only to luck out and get his best in slot legendaries and high titanforged items, then snarky remark that "lol, that's all content?", and proceed with quitting until next patch, while you still don't have the legendary you want half a year after launch and doing content weekly since then.

    Prepare to grind your soul out trying to get your hidden artifact appearance (especially Combat "aka Outlaw" rogue one. Really, good luck with that, I've personally met ppl who have ran both of those dungeons over 400 times each, and I myself ran them over 150 times without getting anything). Prepare to hear how some random guildie will get one on his alt and never use it, or laugh in chat about how easy it was.

    Classes have devolved even further, under false pretense of "trimming"/"pruning"/making them "fun" to play. Instead of fun you get flashiness and instant gratification centered gameplay with little depth to it and low skill ceiling (even MoP/Cata were better in that). Some classes stay broken months into expansion without any improvement (promises that "it's coming soon™" don't count) - look up hunters ever since legion launched, or warlocks.

    Overall I would place Legion among worst expansions World of Warcraft ever had, even more so because things it did get *really good* get simply crossed out by how frustrating and grindy game has become. Yes, story is good. Yes, raiding is somewhat solid. Yes, mythic+ is fun to do, but only at first. Yes, introduction of appearance collections and sets is welcome. But all of it gets totally overshadowed by how much game has degraded in its very core aspects.    … Expand

    PVP is template based and...it's UNBALANCED.
    They sometimes introduce small class changes in order to balance things...SMALL they say.. from 7.2 to 7.2.5 they almost doubled the Warlock Chaos Bolt damage. SMALL changes. This goes to show how balanced things are... I almost feel like they never play a battleground before releasing a patch.
    Feels very stupid from their side.

    It's pretty bad. The social element and the gameplay is pure grindfest on all fronts. Every meaninful achievement is "time gated" which means you will have to wait for cooldowns to do simple quests or cooldowns to achieve any level of power. It's pretty much a "game" meant to exploit your commitment and time.

    1) Too many options of PvE. Seriously, Blizzard, previously we had 5 man normal, 5 man heroic, 10/25 normal, and, ok, 25 heroic. But in WotLK, during Crusaders' Coliseum, it was already pain in the ass. Players should complete the same content over and over, for the same items with better numbers. Now I should complete the same 5-ppl (!)    As an vanilla player, I see next problems:

But in WotLK, during Crusaders' Coliseum, it was already pain in the ass. Players should complete the same content over and over, for the same items with better numbers. Now I should complete the same 5-ppl (!) dungeons, again and again, over and over.

    2) Artifact system. Great idea, but in the end it's just a lot of farming, Moreover, EVERY player has this freaking legendary-mythic-omg items. Every paladin has Ashbringer. Nuff said.

    3) Suramar. They tell us that here we have a great story. Agree. But "great story" in Suramar - it's just ~20% of all quests / activities. Other ones - yeah, farming again.

    4) According to last two things - it's not possible to improve your offspecs or alts. Oh, ok, it's possible of course, but you should spent twice more time on it. Farming, again.

    5) Professions. WTF? Bllizzard says that they amazingly improved professions system. But I see only boring quests (2016, quests like "got this ****, go through whole map, gave it to another NPC"?), and "recipe leveling system", which is affects only amount of reagents for crafting. Yeah, it's a great feature for game, where every player can buy gold for nothing, and top players have billions. Of course minus couple of golds for additional reagents will be interesting for them.

    6) Legacy mechanics & tech core. Graphic is outdated (and still require good hardware for ultra settings :D), gameplay mechanics is bored (target system is dead, default UI still useless af).

    7) Talents & skills. Tough topic, but from my point of view - every spec is broken, some fun skills removed from game, some useless skills added. But same story for every expansion, so, nothing new.

    Overall.
    During tBC and WotLK this game had great gameplay with dozen of options for every spec, focused way for both PvE and PvP (not like "do a bulk of activities and you will recieve rng item") less amount of farming, and great stories.

    Now WoW just push you farm some stuff & spend time in game. That's it. If you complete your leveling - let's go to Suramar. If you complete normal and heroic dungeons - let's go to Mythic. You're complete Mythic? So, let's do Mythic+! And don't forget about world quests, LFR, artifact power farming, Class Hall stuff farming, professions quests, etc.

    Dear Blizzard, please, just leave WoW in peace. Your gamers already grown up, they want to play in something completely different. Focus your WoW-team on new MMORPG, seriously. WoW2, Diablo MMORPG, Titan, whatever. It will be far more better that another expansion for game which can't give anything new to players.    … Expand
