>inb4 casuals who sit around in Oribos all day complaining in trade chat, having done 2 bosses on normal and a +3 key, saying "this is because of bad *insert system*"
This is funny! 'Everyone' here says that the honeymoon phase of SL was that long because it's a good expansion! The only reason for this long phase is (in my opinion) the extremely stretched content aka timegating. Not only the renown-timegating but the 'ilvl-timegating' (almost no useful loot in m+) etc as well. People are now so extremely annoyed of all these 'handbrake mechanics' that they are leaving! I played SL for just a week, unsubbed and left the game after playing since the classic US beta. This game definitly doesn't 'respect' your time anymore and i think i will never come back to WoW.
I'm sure the game also got a boost after TBC Classic was announced. I know my server has been re-vitalized as of late, with people leveling all over the place as if the servers just launched. Feels pretty good. I'm excited. I hope you retail lads are enjoying your time as well.
this always happen, we see something => Get excited => then everything is broken and boring.
the game is just too boring :)not fun, not rewarding, time gated, alt unfriendly, unbalanced.....not flexible (covenant?)the maw?world quests?Just a bad game done by a bad game designer supported by a stubborn game director in conflict with a large part of its community....Way to much pride in that dev team. Blizzard and wow need new talents and game director asap!
I'd like to know where they get their data from, ATVI has released no Q1 statement so I'm really curious to how they have numbers on both players and earnings before anyone else.
Any reason why this tracks only WoW only in the west but includes games that basically only have a presence in the east? I feel like if WoW's western numbers are big enough to make it track at 5, then surely it would rank higher than some of these Chinese-demo games if you included their, you know, Chinese players?
ofc people leave... $%^& this LFG waiting/searching for HOURS to pvp. Im not paying for World of Waiting instead of playing.
A) I love how many people post here gloating about how WoW is dying, which demonstrates how much of the article they DIDN'T READ.B) Dafuq is wrong with people that hate the game SO. MUCH. that they linger on sites dedicated to the game in anticipation of opportunities to crap on it?To such folks, might I recommend learning to read and/or walking the hell away? I'm sure there are many, many other things yo could be doing with your time that is healthier for you.
I’m a little surprised by the negativity in the comments here although it seems to be increasingly common in wowhead comments. I’m still staying very busy with the expansion and my online community still seems to be having a good time and is active. All the people I know in game seem to be a lot happier with Shadowlands compared to BFA. For the people still having fun I’d just find a good guild with others still having fun and don’t let these negative comments ruin your experience.
Shadowlands is an awful expansion for everyone but pvpers. This start looks to me very similar to legion and the legendary nightmare (I knew a lot of people that quit because of them, similar to this expansion)
No surprise at all. It is the natural order of things
