>>724254162How do we make MMOs great again? Ban all tools? Use AI to generate the dungeons, mobs and shit to throw people off? Hide the threat meters and damage calculations?

>>724254162Garrosh got put on trial for war crimes committed against Pandaria, but escaped judgement thanks to a corrupt bronze dragon, who took him to an alternate timeline to lead the first Horde as his puppet. However, Garrosh killed him, and gave modern technology to the orcs before leading them on an invasion of the original timeline. The invasion failed, and Alliance and Horde launched a counterattack on the alternate Draenor, ending with Thrall killing Garrosh. However, the alternate Gul'dan escaped to Azeroth and the Broken Shore, where he enacted another demonic incursion, and attempted to summon Sargeras using Illidan's corpse. Alliance and Horde prevented him from doing so, returning Illidan to life, and then traveled to Argus to defeat the Legion once and for all. Though they couldn't kill Sargeras, they managed to imprison him with the help of the other titans. But before they did so, he stuck a giant sword into Azeroth, causing a new mineral to leak out and crystalize. Sylvanas, now the leader of the Horde, reignited the Aliiance/Horde conflict to seize control of this new resource, but Overlord Saurfang became increasingly convinced that her methods were too evil to support, culminating in his challenging her to Mak'gora. Though he died, her use of dark magic and her rejection of the Horde lead to her fleeing. Ultimately, she reached the Frozen Throne, where she shattered the Lich King's helmet to tear open a rift to the afterlife, in order to funnel souls to the Jailer, who wanted to remake existence in his own image. However, she later realized this was bad, and helped the Alliance and Horde defeat him. Then the Dragon Flights showed up and invited everyone to hang out at the Dragon Isles for a while. At that point, I stopped paying attention.

>>724254162>Discuss the past 13 yearsFriend recently kicked his wow habit after being sunk in since og vanilla.Everything after 2012 was a long copium trip trying to convince himself the game was still good even without friends to play it with.He finally broke when I told him "man that sounds boring as fuck, lets do a sven coop run".
>>724254162Everything that happened in the lore was part of The Jailer's plan.
>>724254851MMOs worked because it allowed for a social hub in an internet that didn't have it so easily. Nowadays, no one wants to interact, most world zones could be removed and nothing would be lost. Matchmaking and 3rd party chat services have rendered almost all social aspects of MMOs as obsolete. You never have to look for groups anymore outside of endgame raids cause you can just queue up for matchmaking. Have a shitty tank/dps/healer in your dungeon party? Well, it's only one run and you'll be rid of them afterwards (and most MMOs are designed to be beatable with the most mouth-breathing of retards). That and the mystery of MMOs are gone because datamining and other practices remove any mystery from games. Other genres now use MMO mechanics (gachas, looter shooters, etc.) so why settle on tab targeting gameplay when you can play something more action oriented and "engaging."
>>724254162i'm sick of your nostalgic threads. just accept your fucking age, wtf
