    Game has gone down the drain since its inception ranging from Blizzard people NOT going after those breaking their code of conduct.

    I played WoW for almost one year, and liked most of it.
    Until I started doing team quests and raids...
    There you are, with 24 other players, most of which have done this raid before. Some of them have done it many, many times. But for you it is a first time. And even though you watched a youtube video or two, chaos breaks loose around you. So you run around, try to do something useful,    I played WoW for almost one year, and liked most of it.

And even though you watched a youtube video or two, chaos breaks loose around you. So you run around, try to do something useful, and most likely are killed off quickly.
    Do the other players care? They certainly do: They are P***ED that you are not performing as well as they are, and they let you know it. In very harsh, vulgar language, which will not be repeated here. Use your imagination.
    Repeated complaints and reportings of some players lead to exactly nothing. No reaction whatsoever from Blizzard.
    And some raids just cannot be avoided when you follow the story line...

    So if you wish to play WoW, be prepared of this. And if your kids want to play, consider this from their point of view. I am 50+ years old, and found this a humiliating experience. This does not bid well for kids in the same situation!

    In more than 30 years of online gaming I have never met so many rude and arrogant players as in WoW. But I hasten to add that in every raid there were also people behaving in a polite and civilized way. Either a minority, or not concerned enough to speak up stronger.

    The game itself would get 8 points, but because of the behaviour of many players, and Blizzard's lack of action, it is a 4.    … Expand

    Monthly Subscription, bad graphics ,mediocre repeatable gameplay and the lore is not in game cutscenes but cinematics. This games cinematics are a misleading advertising. When you see a cinematic you want the game to be like the cinematic and not roblox with extra buttons

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. World of Warcraft (WoW) is a massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG) developed by Blizzard Entertainment. It is set in the fictional world of Azeroth, where players can create their own character and embark on quests, explore the world, and interact with other players from around the globe. WoW has been immensely popular since its release in 2004 and has since become one of the most iconic and long-standing MMORPGs in gaming history. The game has evolved over the years with various expansions, adding new areas to explore, new races to play, and new challenges to conquer. WoW's community is known for its passionate and dedicated player base, with many players forming long-lasting friendships and even romantic relationships within the game.… Expand

    The game has aged terribly. At this point the game should be free/highly discounted. There are much better more recent MMO games with a better monthly fee and lower cost of admission.

    so small indie-studio cant make it product well. Disbalance is everywhere: Pve, pvp, pet battle. Ugly one side story have a lot of hole.

    Direct violation of the user agreement. Racism towards users from Belarus and Russia. Indignity in chat against children from these countries.
    Do you really think Putin is playing your games? Or that bringing innocent children and teenagers to psychological trauma or suicide will help the stop war?

    Do you really want your child learning about racism, hard drug use, sex from guild leaders who are telling junior or juniorette that these things are cool?

    This is what WoW has become and Blizzard (Frat Boys Inc.) takes no responsibility to protect your child from these creeps. Many of us have been asking for moderators for years now, but Blizzard is too cheap to spend the money. They've literally made billions of dollars off of their customers, but refuse to spend even a single cent to make the game a safe and fun environment for players of all ages.

    World of Warcraft, including the most recent Shadowlands expansion, is a 2004 game that is today's biggest example of an outdated game that is not underdeveloped for the amount of financial income gained by Activision Blizzard from it.

    Shadowlands does not do help much, as it is a similar experience to Legion - and while the score would have not been lower than 5/10 - the 0/10 comes for the price that comes with this game.

    74,99€ for the "Epic" version, which includes every digital extra & 30 days of game time; and 54,99€ for most of the diigtal extras alone & 39,99€ for the base game.

    I won't even start by saying that the middle & base editions don't have the 30 days of game time. I will rather conclude, that this game does not deserve to run a buy-to-play (single-time, bigger price) combined with a pay-to-play (monthly, subscription-based payments) model.
    No game deserves that. You either run B2P or P2P. (eg. RuneScape, Guild Wars 2, The Elder Scrolls Online, etc.).

    Verdict? Average game with over the top price tag for the quality provided and amount of content that does not feel repetitive (because killing 30 NPCs over and over, or doing a mediocre instance (dungeon or raid) over and over for items to be able to farm for more items is in my opinion not enjoyable to a sane, working person).

    If you're a new player considering this game, do yourself a favour and pick another title that's not a combined B2P+P2P hoax.
    Your invested time into this game will eventually end up made irrelevant as level cap is always raised +10 (or +5) & previous items are made obsolete, no matter how hard you've "farmed" for them. Endless grind for items with the pretty excuse of "achievement obtaining" for a continuous price out of proportions that mentally 'forces' you to play to justify the value of the purchase.    … Expand

    The game isn't flawless, nor is it technically finished - a good many quests fall into a "kill 20 of enemy X and collect 9 of item Y" pattern, a lot of promised end-game content still isn't in, and there are still bugs being squashed - but it's easily the closest MMORPGs have yet come to perfection. If this one doesn't hook you, nothing will.
