>almost none of them are satisfied with the game but play it out of nostalgia even though the world is completely differentNah, I played a bunch of other MMOs and always come back to WoW cause WoW is the bst.>what was once a game designed to be played with others is now a game famous for having anti-social players??? I join guilds and they have tons of social stuff, and interact with people in game.>keeps releasing Classic versions where the game has been noticeably altered.Classic is boring and gay.
not my problem
>famous for having heavy metal aesthetics and now looks like Fortnite
>>733680487idk man I don't have that much trouble making friends in wowyou just have to be a semi-competent player and make the occasional joke
in vanilla you had night elf moms who took a full year to get to 60 and now you get to 80 in 2 seconds and they cram the maze down your throat
>>733680487>what was once a game designed to be played with others is now a game famous for having anti-social playershow can a game developer even solve the fact their player base are rude, dysfunctional and hard to actually play the game with.
it's getting verrrrry hard to ignore the story and just play the game at this point my foot is halfway out the door and in the door of a KR mmo right now anyway so fuck it
does Blizzard know that half of their player base is just men playing characters with slutmogs, they have to know right?
>>733680771heavy metal is kinda gay, I grew out of it in middle school
>Midnight a few days away>Still have 0 interest in playingWhat is wrong with me?
>>733681080stop trying to make it an e-sport
>>733680487I bought the war within on launch and I regretted it. Unless you're into collecting tmogs mounts and cheevos this game has nothing to offer. Well, I did get a lot of offers for mythic carries for real money. Disgusting game.
>>733681080less emphasis on muh hardcore esports and more emphasis on casual contentwhich, credit where it's due, they've been doing the last few expansionsat this point it just feels like too little too late, and most of the people who care about collecting transmogs and such have moved on to newer and better-looking games
watching Day9 trying out the brand new to retail experience was great, the game just expects you to have all the key binds ready, know where all the portals and trainers are, know exactly who the important people are and calls you CHAMPION at level 10 when you know 6 spells that you don't even know how to use.
>>733681143being a Disney adult is even gayer. At least heavy metal has tits.
I've never played League Of Legends, but the WoW forums are one of the most passive aggressive places on the internet.
>>733680487>>millions of players
>>733680592>tons of social stuffbankstanding?
>>733680487The fact that Classic mogs the shit out of this tells you everything you need to know about the current state of wow
>>733681897there's 4 classics right now
>>733680487>no Wrath Classic erais it really that difficult
>>733680487>what was once a game designed to be played with others is now a game famous for having anti-social playersYeah, because most of them can't move out of the fucking fire. It's frustrating, they waste my time and I can't raid without them. Fuck that, I'll keep playing solo FOREVER!!https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dTtzfGKldUk
>>733681754There are millions of them!
rune forger: millions.. in Bobby Kotick's maze... save them
>>733680487>millions of players
>>733680487Scary how WoW died. It wasn't with one big bang, just a slow fade. I imagine this is what aging is like 50+
>>733681143That's the point, heavy metal is super counter-culture, like the male version of a goth chick. It's enjoyed ironically by young based people and unironically by kind of lame but relatable old people who remember being young and based. Fortnite is androgynous Walmart art, if it was a woman she would have armpit hair and a bigger D than your dad.
>>733681183Wait, you still have to BUY the expansions? How the fuck is that still a thing?
>>733684630Yeah, new expansion every 2 years + sub to be able to play it. It would be fine if it delivered something that's worth it, but currently that's not the case.
>>733682457You know, I may make a thread later about a topic I've never heard /v/ discuss. The criminal underbelly of MMOs.What even were Chinese gold farmers? How was it a feasible business at all?
>>733680487I've always said this. Shadowlands was the time a transsexual clown killed the real thing and has been masquerading as them throughout the entire time. And the retarded thirdie audience claps, maniacally parroting about how it's just like the old times ignoring the corpse in the room.
>>733680487>Early access in 2 daysMy body is ready
>>733681158Nothing. I don't even want to play it but I've played every expansion at this point so it's just kind of a thing where I need to see how deep the rabbit hole goes
>>733686286nothing to do until like the 27th or something anyway
>>733685876They sold gold until the time a token was added to the game by botting resource gathering and flooding the auction house or by spamming dungeons. They still do it in classic where there are no tokens. You can sit outside an instance and just see a steady stream of bots run in. In retail they've transitioned to selling carries where high item level bots just clear instances for you but most of the time it's just a scam where they take the gold and log off. I think that aspect allows them to buy game time with retail gold so they can continue to bot in classic and then sell gold for real cash there.
>>733681897Too bad that classic is not beating retail in numbers. Ask any AI if you don't believe it.
