Comment by Nova52691-2 hours? in which universe? it took 6h and that i considered fast. half of my guild was on the same, rest took even longer. Why is such a big problem for blizz just to include all rewards from Quests which are skipped to one last Q after skip? is it that game breaking or wtf?Comment by jax999No issues skipping, just did the questline and a big meh.Comment by Nova5269Blizzard should apology and offer missed currency to everyone who used skip. Using skip should auto offer all the rewards that skipped quests would have rewarded.Comment by MaximusPMBlizzard should apology and offer missed currency to everyone who used skip.

All these minor issues really REALLY start to add up when there are 3 or 4 literally every single day, with MAJOR issues on top of it. What is the point of PTR? Why have people test things if you ignore feedback and don't actually fix bugs before launching on live? Why does a billion dollar company seriously not have an internal QC team? HOW does this %^&* even fly in 2021? There is no excuses. I am not going to sit here and threaten to quit because what good does that do? I will say the thought crosses my mind almost daily lately, and I am sure if things keep up like this- which given their new track record- its going to; I won't be a paying customer much longer. The forums are FILLED with bug reports, customers AND employees quitting. Nothing exciting or positive at all. Like so many others, I am just not happy playing the game anymore, and the other options that I have always overlooked in the past are looking better and better every single day. After sampling a few, and seeing first hand how much other companies care about and treat their PAYING customers, it's so clear to me how much Blizzard has become a literal joke of a company. It sure seems like they are purposely running themselves into the ground going against anything and everything the community wants or asks for. Oh you guys have told us for three expansions you don't want these over complicated convoluted unnecessary 'systems'? Well, guess what, Shadowlands has SIX! Isn't that so fun! You can spend your precious valuable time doing dailies for a whole 35 anima a pop! Only 10,000 more to go for that shoulder transmog with a reused texture from four expansions ago! (But this time slightly more blue!) You don't need Azerite anymore, just anima, soul ash, soul cinders, renown, valor, and 14 other stupid things to upgrade your pants 2ilvls! Oh but don't worry we're adding domination gems too, so that 100k gold you just spent on those legendary pants can go straight to the trash and you can wear a random piece of rare ilvl 170 gear until you find a replacement! Then you can start the grind all over again for a different slot until Blizzard figures out wtf they are actually doing! FUN!

It seems like there is just nobody left at Blizzard who knows wtf they're doing. Anybody worth a ^&*! has been laid off, fired or quit. I don't think Blizzard is going to be around in 7-8 years, and honestly that is a good thing in my opinion. I wont miss WoW I'll miss the memories, and more and more I am realizing all those memories are from years ago.Comment by OnomatopoeiaWe ALSO miss out on the weapon...The Battle of ArdenwealdComment by MaximusPMJust went and did the intro quest on another alt to see how long it would take.

It was an ilvl 200 warrior, took me ~75 minutes skipping quests, though, I took a bathroom break and was talking to some guildies on disc while doing the quests, so I want 100% focused on getting through it s fast as I could.Comment by catrinastars1-2 hours? in which universe? it took 6h and that i considered fast. half of my guild was on the same, rest took even longer.

And I spent half that time complaining about having to recraft my leggos in gchat. The reason it took hours on launch night was because of the lag. It's very much worth doing if you care about the rewards on alts.Comment by TheRevenantHeroBlizzard really is doing everything they can to sink Shadowlands huh?Comment by LuthleeUhm.. the parts you skip, do not take 6-8 hours. I've done it on two characters now and I've not had time to play 12-16 hours of 9.1 yet.

I did it with two others from my guild on my second toon and I didn't play more than about 1.5 hours then.. sure, some of the quests were faster, but we also had a few short breaks for people to sort their UI and such, plus we didn't skip as the two others had not done it before.

Maybe, if you count all the faithscribe stuff, it's close to 8 hours.. but those aren't skipped.Comment by angzt"1-2 hours" Lol.

It took me 8 hours. Took most of my guildies 6-8 hours.

I'll gladly skip this on alts to save that much time.Comment by agentrock"1-2 hours" Lol.

I don't think any of the past quest skips gave players the items from the skipped quests.Comment by warlocktankKinda of trash that they have a pop up warning us this choice cant be undone but they dont tell us what we are losing by making the choice. Though i have 49 characters right now. 16 max lvl, only 5 arent in shadowlands. Yea dont think I would play through the intro again other than to get the weapon mogsComment by galbatoriuswhat you can do if you want the wep do the quest until you finish the wep quest , you can skip it afterwards , i did it for my shaman i finished the wep quest then skipped the rest , dont for get you can STILL skip at ANY TIME you want to
