This might be the worst writing I've ever experienced in any form of media. What the fuck were they thinking with this?
It's not even about it being woke and shit, it feels like a thirteen year old girl wrote the whole script, it's that lame and predictable.

Warcraft? Where? This is a fucking disney film, hell even original disney films had more substance than this. You have this whole warcraft universe and lore and manage to turn it into the most lame and gay shit ever.

>>687092143
I like good stories so I'm always hoping for at least a somewhat mid story.

On the actual important side of things, there's literally nothing to do in the game other than grind renown for gear that you'll likely replace instantaneously when high tier delves unlock anyway. What were they thinking?

So just like the latest expansions, timegating is so lame
>>
>>687092279
It's always like this. You have 2 weeks to level up before Raids open so people can in comfy pace build up. Remember that the core audience of this game are 30+ yo dudes, that have families and work to do. Stop looking at the game with a nolife perspective. I am only 76, and will slowly get up to 80 in couple days. Only retarded nolife paypiggies who bought early access have nothing to do.

>>
>>687092478
Just stop playing bro, the game is a corpse.
>>
>>687092478
So when the proper content launches, you still won't have time to grind properly them and will be left behind in the overall power curve. Timegating fucking sucks and the game should not be designed for everyone.
>>
>>687091842
I feel like it's about par for the course for the past 5-7 years? (Shit)
That's not trying to excuse it, just saying it's more of the same dogshit that Shadowlands and Dragonflight was.
>>
>>687092358
I don't play this game anymore but I never understood why Blizzard doesn't just remove daily/weekly lockouts on things while simultaneously lowering the drop rates to compensate. That way everyone can grind at their own pace, the poop-sock players get their carrot on a stick, and no one has to worry about logging in on tuesday to complete chores and can just chip away towards something as they please.
When I last played a few years back, the whole game had devolved into:
>Log in on Tuesday
>Do your weekly mythic keys
>Do raid prog/farm
>Do daily rep quests if necessary
>Log off for the rest of the week until next Tuesday
Nothing to actually "grind" so much as multiple levers to pull on multiple slot machines hoping they give you what you want, but you can only pull them each once a week. I miss mindlessly killing certain mobs or farming certain dungeons for specific things.
>>
>>687092562
You think i care about the curve? I'll do the LFR, get some loot, explore, do some content and fuck off to other games. It's a game, not a job bro.

Also story is OK, waay better than dragonflight. And Xalatath is hot

It doesn't matter because the retards who play this mazed shit for a living are addicted and Blizzard figured out years ago that they can shit out anything and pay piggies with 50 000 hours /played will buy it anyway while defending every shitty half assed buggy feature WoW comes up with.

Because if you play WoW long enough you realize they design their features in a way that artificially prolongs the time you stay subscribed, which is why I fucking despise WoW, Blizzard and MMORPGs in general. They're the original gachas and dlc slop of gaming industry. They literally used nazi/commie style social engineering techniques to keep their population hooked up. Fuck them all to death. No game or dev who doesn't respect my time and treats me like a cattle that exists to extract money deserves my money, time or frankly even to exist.

>Hello!
>As mentioned in the article above, we’ve been working on a new raid experience for The War Within called Story difficulty.
>Throughout World of Warcraft’s history, many of the most epic moments in our stories have been told in dungeons and raids. With the recent introduction of Follower Dungeons, we’ve been experimenting with new ways for players to see those stories, especially for those who may not feel comfortable playing within the social expectations of group environments.
>With Story difficulty in Nerub-ar Palace, our goal is to offer players a way to see the epic conclusion of Azj-Kahet’s story who may not see the end to that story otherwise. This difficulty is intended for a private party of 1-5 players and will allow players to face off against Queen Ansurek without the assistance of other players or Followers. This encounter features reduced combat complexity and difficulty, instead focusing on the narrative elements of the encounter. Story difficulty is intended to be experienced as a one-time chapter in the game’s story, but is repeatable for players who want to revisit that part of the adventure.
>We currently plan to release this experience alongside the final wing of Looking For Raid difficulty, for players who’ve reached the appropriate point in the questing experience of The War Within. We’d love to hear your feedback on this feature once it’s released.

What was the point of making an underground expansion and not having it look like you are underground? I thought I would see some crazy journey to the center of the earth style settings but no, no it's just standard flat zone with a few trees and a blue skybox.

>>687095119
That speaks more to past talent. I think the theme park design of the game works better from the ground as it isn’t as obvious. Flying’s not as bad if the zone has good design. But now the zones look like shit and are covered in the soulless haze.

It's two problems flying inherently is a bad thing for zone design in MMOs, and zone design in general has been getting worse over the years. The problems these new zones have are not related to flying in any way, they are just poorly designed, structurally and visually.

I have a friend that plays every WoW expansion without fail. On release. Every single time. He also has all his character slots maxed and leveled up asap. I asked him to do something today and he said he can't because WoW has a new expansion and it's basically mandatory to play it. Has a job and a gf btw and he's not autistic either. I really don't get it. This is the most NPC thing I can think of.

I still keep in touch with a few relatives and old raiding buddies from back in the day that are still addicted, and they do the same.
The most amusing (or depressing) part is watching them go through the exact same rigmarole with every expansion, bad-mouthing the previous expansion (while still playing), saying blizzard dont know what they are doing (while still playing), pretending to judge the upcoming expansion objectively and claiming it "looks good, might come back for it" (even though they never stopped playing), all the while genuinely convincing themselves they're not addicted.

I don't know what it is. Must be a zoomer mental illness addiction thing. He has a rotation of adhd clicker multiplayer games. Goes back and forth between WoW, PoE, LoL, and those generic hero shooters. Doesn't play any real games ever. Always has a streamer playing in the background when he's on his PC. Being this overly social has to be a mental illness.

The skybox is a big reason, but the same is true for Shadowmoon.
But yes, I still like Hallowfall. It's a fantasy zone that kind of makes sense and I always find that cool. The vegetation grows denser the closer to the sun-crystal you get, there's little waterfalls coming from the sky to keep the farms watered, little stuff like that. The adjacent zones also feel naturally connected, not like crossing a bridge from green Elwynn to yellow Westfall which has been an issue with wow zones for a long time

>What were they thinking?
that they would sell 1/3rd of an expansion for 80 dollars, and people would still buy it.
Since they used a lot of stock music in the game and trailers, have animations that look like pic related that cost probably like 2 dollars for a Jeet to do, and used char GPT for quest text and AI voices, I assume the profit margin was quite good.
Another reason Blizzdrones are subhumans.

I'm actually looking forward to m+ unlocking, and trying the new raid. But my relationship with this game is incredibly unhealthy.

It's been turning to shit since TBC and flight. It reinforced the "fun part" by doubling down on everything facilitating raiding as end game
and the deal was sealed and wotlk with threat being rendered irrelevant, brain dead cleave everything - play through HUD elements - and most importantly LFD in it's final days.

WoW might as well be Fellowship at this point. It is utterly baffling to me that it took THIS long for a competitor to simply make a game that is nothing other than the "fun part" of wow. Not that Fellowship is going to be any good. "The fun part" of wow was never fun. It has always been a matter of exclusivity flaunting as quality. VIP club for retards. You're part of the crowd now. Having fun. Shame about all of that grinding. What's the drop rate on your BIS trinket?

I checked some video about this game and it's actually a really retarded concept. The game is pointless. Literally why would I play this unless I was retarded? You just do dungeons for loot using their heroes instead of creating your own character and then what? There's no world to explore. No story. I don't have my own character. No pvp to grind the gear for. Absolutely nothing to get attached to and dungeons aren't really fun nor difficult. There's a million other games I could spend my time on.

>>
>>687101381
I still don't know how retards keep thinking games like this without character creation is a good idea.

a good example is fortnite they make tons of cash but imagine how much more they would have made if they used the save the world silhouettes and allowed custom character creation and skins were just outfits you bought for your character.

the original classes had tons of faces, skin colors, eyes, hair etc already done and was filled with different outfits to boot it would have been easy to move it over to battle royale.
>>
>>687101567
WoW didn't use to have a shit world or lore. It never really had much of a story though
>>
>>687092143
You're correct, but if they want to emphasize the story it better be good or at least we'll delivered. It fails in all fronts, and the rest of the game is shit too

F-for the horde...where is horde?
>>
>>687101567
Yeah because of pvp but that also hasn't been the case for many expansions now. Game was only good up to wrath included. Back then at least the world for sure wasn't shit, and the story and lore weren't objectively shit like they are now. More importantly though, when the fuck has anyone said "dungeons are so fun, let's do dungeons all day"? No, you just do the dungeons to farm the gear or levels you need and once you're done you never touch them again. Why would I ever play a game revolving around just that part of an MMO?
>>687101689
Even if it didn't have character creation it would still be a pointless game though, but at least I wouldn't be forced to play some retard with a tail.

Because it's made by jaded ex-WoW players who only remember enjoying M+ when they dropped the game. Exploring a world and getting attached to your character is why people start to play and what keeps them playing.

The old guard left and trained up a new group who had different ideas, that group began training up a third group but were then all fired for sexual harassment.

stream viewer numbers doesn't fucking matter for anything except for gauging how many brainrot retarded people are watching another brainrot e-begging dumbfuck playing shitty video games

if the top e-beggar started playing barnie the dinosaur for sega genesis it's going to hit 100k+ viewers, doesn't mean the game is magically gods gift to the earth it just means a 100k retards is watching the head retarded doing something retarded

>>687102324
funny that retards liek you keep poping up further showing wowniggers are literal retards that don't even try to know their own game. And classic was just released in 2019
>raganros and molten core
you have both factions sending a giant forces to supress iron dwarves and blackrock orcs. You went into literal city to learn that not only Moira Bronzebeard is alive and mced by Thaurissian, but also that a whole nation is being mind raped by firelord. You would never leave out alive from molten core if not for the opposite elemental lord faction (Hydraxian) actively helping you out, telling you how to dispell runes of power and force summon a firelord to molten core at 1/10 of his power. Then it took another giant force from both factions to take him down. "Players" from CM are later referenced in TBC and Wotlk quest.
>BWL
same shit as MC, both factions supressing whatever Nefarian is cooking up there with chromatic dragons being highly resistant to magic. In several zones you had a dragonflight on nefarian roders fucking shit up when lvling
>AQ
lets forget gigantic storychains about war of the shifting sands and how it's getting back yet again, with bronze dragonflight guardian and nelves helping you out with their centuries old experience with silithids. You also got a prelude to whole shit in some zones like barrens, ferelas and tanatis infested with bugs and NPC researching who the fuck those bugs are. After you kill Cthun the same dragon NPC is amazed how it is even possible to do and that maybe it was a really lucky fate or some other forces are in play since mortal randoms killing an weak but still old god is night impossible
>naxx
whole crusade against undead to get that citadel down. Argent crusade working with scarlet in the same place with several npc telling each other to stop trying to start infights.

i'm a little over 2/3 in, i read the majority of quest text especially main story stuff

dalaran teleports into an unfamiliar place without any scouting and predictably gets blasted into oblivion despite supposedly being led by intelligent people. the big bad then appears and "destroys" it and khadgar
you meet a bunch of stone robot dwarves, the only interesting one gets immediately killed off like 90 minutes in
you go in a hole and meet more stone dwarves, the only one with any character is revealed to be a villain and you kill him in a dungeon 15 minutes after the reveal
then you go into an admittedly cool-looking zone that shifts between light and shadow, there's an expedition of arathi people there who got stranded there several decades back, anduin is a crybaby bitch

i ended it for the night shortly after anduin gets redeemed by muh strong black wymyn lead, like every strong wymyn lead introduced so far this expansion (and last) she has zero personality and is obviously just an insert for whatever fat rainbow hair land whale wrote her.

overall the story is bland but there's nothing so offensively bad that i would say 0/10 for, it's solidly in mediocre. there's nothing redeeming either, it's an emotional flatline. i did a random main story interlude in genshin last night after i quit playing wow for the night and i actually felt things, so at this point wow is getting mogged by random content in a f2p chink gacha game.

what worse? they don't rally behind you, you're just an opportunist offering his skills for gold and faction leaders agree to have some adventurers(mercs) in, since they're experienced in fighting if they survived for that time
you're at most some specialist force in vanilla and tbc, something like private korkron/si6 but smaller. Only in wotlk you're considered something like elite force and "big gun". The "player is the big hero" thing came around WoD after people complaining that they do all the shit and kill all the bad guys only for some big lore npc to steal the spotlight as per cata. So they made you an expedition commander in wod and then class leader in legion
untilt hen you're just a specialised, capable force you can call upon and use but after that none gives a fuck about you
>>
>>687106401
>fixed
that shit has no meaning. it's an mmo so if you put 10 retards in a room you get 20 different opinions on what a "fix" is
it mogs the fuck out of everything from cata onwards
>b-b-but legion
legion started the bing bing wahoo era of wow with mobile tier gameplay mechanics (press button, wait 20 hours), AP>azerite>anima, RNGdaries, tomb of soakgeras, shit class design where your class had 3 buttons without your artifacts and shit
fuck off. go play some cyka blyat private server until you die of dementia, fucking boomer retard

anima was literally for cosmetics and functioned nothing like AP
>shit class design where your class had 3 buttons without your artifacts
this is retarded cope, every artifact only added a single button
Legion sucked because of AP and RNG legendaries, no need to make up other nonsense
>>
>>687106760
tomb of sargeras/legion killed more mythic guilds than any prior expansion
you have no idea wtf you're talking about
>>
>>687100337
This basically.
So-called Worldsoul Saga is what normally would be just one proper expansion sold for 50-70$.
Bu since Blizzard are fucking greedy bastards they just got a brilliant idea to split it in three parts, rebrand them as standalone expansions, buy Metzen as the only veteran with good reputation left to use him as a mouthpiece for nostalgic retards and voila - three low quality, low cost, light on content 'expansions' are ready, 90$ per each.
So in fact what old Blizzard would have sell for 50-70$ would be now sold for 270$ (if they wont raise the prices for Midnight and TLT later).
Mouthbreathing normies and mazed rats would probably only realize that in a few years.
>>
>>687106605
>it mogs the fuck out of everything from cata onwards
mists was better and legion was better
>b-b-but muh mechanics
something being overall good does not necessitate every last individual thing being good. legion tried a bunch of new shit, some of it was good and some of it wasn't but that's what happens when you experiment. their problem was that they were using the wrong metrics to gauge whether something was well-received; ion had a boner for "engagement metrics" which correlate poorly with player satisfaction, so they learned the wrong lessons from it. rather than carrying forward retarded mechanics like ap grinds and borrowed power, they needed to carry forward their experimental attitude, the huge amount of class lore and fantasy, and the story being about shit people actually cared about

That has nothing to do with anything I said you retarded nig
And you cannot count EN guilds as mythic. The tier was wildly undertuned and most of those guilds wouldnt have been able to face M Imperator, Blackhand or Archimonde (without 14 months of prog and massive ring powercreep)
Mythic raiding decline is entirely because m+ shits out too much gear. The key level required for mythic loot needs to be increased massively until shitters prefer to pug the first few mythic bosses than trying to pug keys. Same for heroic. WoD was the last time there was a healthy raid pug scene
And yes I obviously know what M Raiding in legion was like

you don't remember how badly the illidan story was received by anyone with actual standards. Massive fucking TBC retcons, forums melting down when the illidan questline was going to be required to upgrade legendaries on PTR.
>>
>>687106536
There are hundreds of more capable soldiers that those factions could have sent in to clear those raids but YOU specifically got the honor of doing so and they hold down the fort while you head inside. Would make a lot more sense for the random "nameless adventurers" to hold off the forces outside while the actual heroes went up against the huge world ending threats but they play second fiddle to the player.
It's funny how they've reversed it at this point, so even though people complain about being "the chosen one" now it's the big named characters taking the credit when it was the opposite back then.

Partially yes, but I think the real reason is because Mythic raiding is too difficult and it is not actually fun to do. People do M+ instead of Mythic raiding because they don't want to do Mythic raiding and deal with constant guild drama bullshit

yes, if you were horde, you fucked around in badlands long enough for kargath expeditionary force to notice you. You know, the squad of actual elites that raids blackrock depths
Durning one of these raids you free one of your force bros and discover another prisoner that gives you info about Magni daughter being there. Then you're send as an errand boy lwoest rank to thrall to inform him about that shit because as a lowrank you're not authorized to carry the mission yourself. Then Thrall contacts alliance and sends not you, but that same kargath elite force, boosted with help from horde main forces and ally one, to go there and rescue the princess.
Rescue is done, youwere part of the expedition, but nowhere near main force. There you learn about firelord fuckery, and since you fucked around azshara, you know about that one hydraxian guy who's maybe interested in that info. Turns out you struck a goldmine and again - you're aprt of the force venturing into molten core and a specialist who happened to be on good terms with hydraxians so you were granted the item to dispell the runes and summon majordomo before ragnaros gets fully summoned into the world
Kargat elite force would free the princes with or without you anyway when discovering the prisoners
MC in result would be raided anyway too, just it would take them much longer time and more casualties to discover shit about the runes or get contacted by hydraxians via one of the shamans prolly communing with the elements for answers
so abck then, your presence was welcomed but not required. BWL would be completly clear without your interference too. AQ was a gigantic war with whole war effort and you were just one of the grunts, again, lucky enough to be in the force that managed to get past twin emps. In naxx you're again the lucky one that managed to survive the whole invasion. You're such a great hero that unless you farmed rep with argent, you were required to pay a hefty summ for a ward to enter naxx

m+1 = m+11 in old system
so +20s now are +10s, which give you myth gear in vault (highest tier)

Mythic raiding has not increased in difficulty relative to player skill. In fact in many tiers its much easier
Archimonde, KJ, Argus, there were 400+ pull bosses
Meanwhile Razsageth and Sarkareth in DF was closer to 250
But nobodys going to raid when m+ is still THAT much easier
>People do M+ instead of Mythic raiding because they don't want to do Mythic raiding and deal with constant guild drama bullshit
People dont even pug normal/heroic as often as they used to because M+ has supplanted them so massively
No matter what your skill level is, m+ is going to get you better gear than raiding. Thats an issue

Mythic would be fine if they made it 10 man. Its a logical move since theres not as many subs now, easier to get 10 friends than 20.
>>
One thing that makes me a little sad is noone builds bases anymore, even up to the beginning of BFA the first thing a faction would do on reaching a new zone was lay down some foundations and name it after someone cool. It gave the impression that somewhere someone was playing the RTS with the game world, building gold mines and barracks. Now you're lucky to see a tent laid out by some neutral explorer in Indiana Jones getup.

has nothing to do with subs, it's maintaining a roster of 20+ people. attrition is high in mythic raiding, especially when you can bang out a +10 key in 20 something minutes and get the same reward in vault

Because modern WoW community is literally insufferable and full of defensive drones, paypigs, raging sweatlords with dunning kruger syndrome, sexual deviants with xhe/zhe pronouns in their discord bio and other freaks that you wouldn't want to be friends with. I'd be surprised if 10% of people in this game are normal and if they are they already have preexisting circles of friend that you don't belong to. People avoid socialising, which includes raiding guilds, because of it

This si your greatest moment in vanilla and you're still nobody

this fr tho, the woke shit is cringe, sure. but people focusing on it so hard takes away from the real underlying problems. anduin is a white male. but he's the biggest fucking faggot ever. lets take sasuke as an example. (i use sasuke because he's from a shit show so its a easier comparison for this shit story) when sasuke leaves the hidden leafu-desu village you know why, he's angsty, he's pissed, he wants revenge for his clans genocide and so he leaves to get power by any means necessary from his pov.
now lets look at anduin.... as the player, why is anduin so sad? you dont know. but lets really dive into the lore for the benefit of the doubt. whats wrong with anduin? he saw a ghost. yup. thats it. he saw a ghost and started crying and then abandoned everyone he knows to go on a walk. he didnt leave for any specific reason. he didnt leave to obtain something. he just went on a walk for 10 years. and whats the result? did he grow? no. no growth. no power. he's just still sad. look at him. actually look at him. this fucking faggot is walking around with a blanket on 24/7. a literal fucking blanket. u cant make this shit up. peak wow design thank you blizzard. our hero, the stormwing king. is a crying like bitch playing the victim for the sake of "im a victim...." with a fucking comfort blankey on his body. get fucking real. fuck this victimizing pussy shit.

Unironically this. This is especially prominent in normie mode guilds and the aotc/failed CE guilds.

The second group has all the sociopaths who can't cope with the fact that they aren't as good as they think they are, blaming and bullying others for their own fuck ups.

the leader of those earthen dwarves is also a guy who kamikazes himself for no reason and hands leadership to a womyn right before he does

mythic raids dropping loot which can't be obtained anywhere else should only be done when there's a 10 man version of it.
as it stands, no way.

See pic. Gear is supposed to be the natural difficulty smoothing but theyve ruined it with m+

>>687110460
What were you doing in the monastery? Or a church. Weren't churches train paladins in the rts game?
Or in the case of Horde you already ongoing trials from the start, you didn't submit to that abuse.
>>
>>687110827
it should be done regardless, but at minimum M+ keys that reward loot should be as hard as raid for that same loot, including vault slots
So put mythic raid gear on 20 keys that is identical to raid, thats a lot better than the current system where a 10 key gives you mythic gear while being as easy as a normal boss
Same thing for heroic. its not okay to murder all the AotC guilds by making baby mode keys and now delves shit out the same gear

i already noticed that wowretard have big trouble of realizing comparisions. Rts grunt is literal foot soldier/city guard in wow. Player character in that case would be reflected as random neutral hero you could recruit from tavern. One of many

>>
>>687110828
see >>687110827
they have to revamp mythic raiding if you want to have mythic raids more involved in gearing/character progression
otherwise nobody will bother. the majority will still do m+
why would anyone commit to a strict raiding schedule and a 20 man roster with that many points of failure, when you can go with 4 others, whenever you want and takes half an hour max.
if they want people to mythic raid, add a 10 man option and increase rewards. now you need crests to upgrade your gear, have mythic raid bosses drop 3x the amount you get from an m+ dungeon
there really isn't a very good incentive of doing mythic raids atm. and the logistics is an issue too. 20 people is too much.

both faction funded an entire war effort to deal with AQ threat, as reflected by war effort. So not only grunt but both horde and alliance big gund went there
as for you as a players, because you fucked around
https://wowpedia.fandom.com/wiki/Mortal_Champions
bronze dragons decided to lend you a help. Since they deal fuckery, it's quite possible they picked a future for you, the one out of millions where you actually survived the encounter. And this is the greatest feat you ever get in vanilla
so great that outside bronzies, none else noticed you at all not even a staghelm
>bbut why bronzies picked just (you)
because player is the one cheeky bitch that fucks around in every zone and either kills shit or gets to talk with some guys that prove useful later. Just like hydraxians. Funny thing you need to fuck up some bugs like some grunt for bronzies to even talk with you, since they're hostile to you at first

it was more like a slightly more powered version of a shit Anub'arak and Arthas Killed in TFT. Sure Anub panicked there but the supposed old god was killed by depowered Arthas and nerubian king. Just 2 guys. The squad of 100 people that killed Cthun would also prolly easily dispose of that pair too. The problem in AQ was not Cthun being powerful alone, but mountains of bugs between you and him

>>687111195
You still have no idea how gearing works
There's no reason to farm raid bosses for Crests even at 3x droprate because that's time you should be spending progging.
Crests shouldn't drop from m+ period
You keep forgetting that progression exists. A 10m group would still spend 2-3 weeks progging one boss to get 2 pieces of loot, slapping an extra 30 Crests on that still won't compare to the week's of crests and vault loot from pugging m+ in that time

I'm not saying I want things to become edgy and grimdark, but there needs to be a better balance. WoW is supposed to be rated T for teen.

An elite squad of alliance and horde troops would kill them both, meaning by extension that they could also deal with old god there

Xal'atath said N'zoth was the weakest, but also the most patient and cunning, which was why he was the last to die.

We don't know yet what Xal exactly is, and what she wants. Since the next expansion is called Midnight and will focus a lot on the void (and light?) she might survive War Within and appear in Midnight too. Or, she dies at the end of WW, but still succeeds with her plans, which then leads to the events of Midnight.

It's intentional. Blizzard will never streamline anything because if they did then their already dogshit player retention would plummet.
I actually tried for a while because the cosmetic collecting aspect of the game looked so cool to me. I would have made multiple characters just to futz around with mounts and transmogs playing world of fashioncraft but actually trying to collect things was timegated in the most obnoxious and artifical way possible and I felt genuinely insulted that they would pull this shit.
If I am willing to run The Lair of the Cockfuck Ogre fucking 200 times just to get one shiny set of gear out of hundreds available, the fact I am willing to sit there though Blizzard's aged "cinematic" raids that stopped being relevant 10 years ago 200 times should be enough to say I "earned" the set. Having to stretch the runs out over the span of MONTHS, if not YEARS does not make the set more valuable to me. It just makes me mad I couldn't do the runs all at once.
There's also the massive fucking amount of time wasted flying with the painfully fucking slow mounts to the raid location, which could amount to dozens of hours wasted just traveling instead of being able to just do and reset the raid again until you get the drops you want or give up.

then there's something like a old god husk or something similar in one of the nelf starting zones
nzoth was said to be the weakest, with cthun little above him, both using minnions and mind fuckery to get shit done instead of fighting directly
Then you have yogg'saron imprisoned in ulduar and Y'Shaarj, both required a titan to come and deal with. Ripping Y'Shaarj out caused such damage that titans decided to imprison the rest instead of ripping them away from azeroth too.
by the way, if you think cthun being killed by a 100+ people is pathetic, check how Nzoth died in BFA

G'huun is weak as fuck as well, but I'm not sure he even counts as a full old god.

No he is right, Mythic raids has declined because you can get your gear easily in a inferior game mode called M+.
If you remove M+ i bet people would go back in raid.

I remember during BFA i managed to get insanely good ilvl by only doing one Key lvl 15 each and the scenario that occured in SW/Orgimmar, each week.

In my eyes, focusing on raids was what made the game good. M+ were a mistake and they should have keep doing what they used to call "challenge mode".
