I heard this was the worst exp, comparable to WoD. Haven't played since WoD. But im still getting a itching urge to resub and try this out. Can someone please call me retarded tell how shit the game really is now?

It's not shit, it's just dead and devoid of content, just like WoD.
I enjoyed it for the first week, since the dungeons are pretty fun and better than any previous expansion and the zones are neat, but once you are done, it's over and you can unsubscribe.

if you're just looking for a quick fix and don't mind playing extremely watered-down mobile-game-tier classes go for it
you'll get burned out within weeks though, the end game is the weakest it's ever been, especially with how RNG the loot system is
basically there's no rewarding progression at all when doing the easiest content can randomly drop you very high ilvl gear, making raiding / pushing m+ etc completely redundant

Im more of a pvp guy than a pve one. Hows the pvp nowadays?

End game content is redundant/boring/unrewarding or a combination of all three. Classes are all undeniably in the worst spot they've ever been. Faction war story shit is retarded. They also ruined the pace of levelling so now it's not even that fun to make a new character anymore. I don't know how a game developer can look at their product and so surgically remove all elements that made it enjoyable, but some how Blizzard did it.

Considering the game's population is at the lowest it's ever been, and only 10% of players ever engaged in PvP seriously.. It's not great.

it's not great
hope you like those shitty MOP battlegrounds and long queue times
arenas are the same as always, you either play the flavor of the month OP comp or you accept that your rating will never exceed 1800

It's not retard levels of WoD but it's up there, can't wait for them to butcher vanilla which they already did by using 1.12

BfA wishes it was WoD. Legion actually got good towards the end too, it's a mystery how they stepped back.

I want to marry and impregnate a Human

p-please sub lord brack told us that if classic subs surpass retail's at any point we'll have to eat each other for sustenance

wait for classic

>dude the company that ruined the game in the first place with their retarded casual-pandering philosophies totally won't ruin the game this time around
Fuck off and die, blizzdrone.

It really depends what you're looking for. The thing I have the most fun doing in WoW these days is high-end PvE content (mythic raids and 15 or higher Mythic+ dungeons), and for that you need a community, which can take a while to get embedded into. Once you get to that level, I really liked how complicated and rewarding a lot of the DPS spec rotations are, all the min-maxing and optimizations you can do, but I'm autistic.

As for the storyline, it's a recycled dumpster fire. Blizzard is once again showing how stupid and racist they are by reducing a mainline Horde race (Forsaken this time, instead of orcs in MoP) to brainless monsters blindly obeying fantasy Hitler, while the rest of the faction gets to be noble rebels seeking to RECLAIM THE HONOR OF THE HORDE. Blizzard is shamelessly recycling this storyline because they literally cannot think of any other way to write faction conflict into the main storyline. Make the Alliance evil this time? Unthinkable. Give both factions legitimate but conflicting agendas that tragically force them to war? That would require an average IQ higher than 75 in the writers' room. I could probably write thousands of words about the lore since WoD alone, but if you're looking for an engaging or satisfying story in BfA, you won't get one. Wait until this Sylvanas shit gets cleared up and maybe things will go in an interesting new direction during the next expansion. Maybe.

PvP is a hilariously unbalanced mini-game like it's been for over a decade, and is not worth thinking or worrying about.

Battle pets are fun.

Legion was worse than WoD.

>I heard this was the worst exp, comparable to WoD.
it's retards saying this

>As for the storyline
carrying about the storyline in wow
ever

>really liked how complicated and rewarding a lot of the DPS spec rotations are
you almost had me going for a second there

Oh yeah, forgot to add, people who say BfA is worse than WoD are either being hyperbolic, or their opinions aren't worth taking seriously. It's a completely ludicrous statement to make, nothing will ever be worse than WoD.
>Ashran
>Garrisons
>Two raid tiers
>Half a continent worth of cut content
>Worst storyline
>Awful concept execution causing incredible damage to world coherence that the writers are still frantically trying to recover from
>No characters
People got mad they couldn't easily get all the Azerite pieces they wanted and decided that was somehow worse than everything listed above. They're not exactly stupid, they're just childish. All that being said, I still wouldn't recommend getting back into WoW at this point unless you're willing to commit a LOT of time and energy.

He asked for clarification on everything about the game that's shit and retarded, so I brought up the shittiest and most retarded aspect of them all.
There are other specs in the game besides Frost DK.

You're wrong though. Warfronts are a thousand times more cancerous than Ashran on the sole fact it's a braindead zerg.
Garrisons facebook minigames have never left the game, the difference is that they're utterly pointless. But they still affect the game because rewards are replaced with the utterly worthless resources needed to send out missions.
Two raid tiers were just a side effect of them wanting to get through that trainwreck of an expansion as fast as possible.
Storyline in BfA is worse. Worse yet, it's fucking recycled.
World coherence is suffering worse than ever. They can't even fucking stay coherent throughout the same fucking expansion, with Jaina going KILL ALL ORCS and seconds later "actually we killed rastakhan we better take a break to let them mourn their king and lick their wounds or WE BECOME THE BADDIES"

>he isnt a TSG chad
aint gonna make it lad

>>There are other specs in the game besides Frost DK.
I got every class to 120 (something I never fucking do until the last patch of an xpac) within the first and only two months I was subbed, decided fuck this and quit.
I'm sorry, I just don't have the autism that grants me immunity to mind-numbing boredom like you do.

Warfronts are less time consuming than Ashran. You do one maybe every two weeks, and it only takes about ten or fifteen minutes. They might as well not be in the game at all. Maybe Ashran was different on your server, but I remember it being a braindead zerg too, just one that took more time.
I agree that Blizzard wanting to get through a trainwreck expansion as fast as possible is a good thing, but I would have preferred it if they just didn't make a trainwreck expansion in the first place.
As awful as the storyline and characters in BfA are, it's really peanuts compared to the nuclear-level retardation of the WoD setup and the parade of absolute non-entities we were presented with after they were talked up as WARLORDS. The erasure of Forsaken identity, Jaina's schizophrenia, those are big problems, arguably farther-reaching because they're not limited to the alternate Draenor lunacy chamber, but establishing that the Burning Legion (and demons overall) can somehow transcend timelines is, bar none, the single absolute dumbest thing I've ever heard from any fictional universe, and I've read every Captain Underpants book.

WoD was great if you were in the hardcore scene. Class design was still good, raids were excellent and CMS were really fun because of how retarded OP tanks were.
Probably the best time i had in wow desu.

What did Blizzard mean by this?

>playerbase in freefall
>ban tons of people for exploiting a leveling bug, giving them the push they needed to quit
Is Blizzard trying to kill WoW?

High End raiding in WoD was really fun, I can agree. Too bad the expansion had literally nothing else going for it.

You'll be back for classic.

Served me well desu. I hate all the questing and RP shit in wow, i just wanna raid log and have fun. WoD was perfect for this.

the suspention was hardly even a slap on the wrist. a handful of days of not being able to play the game compared to a couple of weeks saved in the slog that is leveling? and the levels weren't even rolled back. people agree it was completely worth the ban

>It's not shit, it's just dead and devoid of content
It's both
>since the dungeons are pretty fun and better than any previous expansion
Lawl

>don't let people cheat
>LOL ARE THEY LITERALLY TRYING TO KILL THE GAME???

Its not devoid of content. Its just shit content

I wouldn't say it's as bad as WoD but fuck me is it starved of content. I wouldn't resub right now.

>leveling up quickly reduces amount of people buying level boosts
>ruined economy increases people buying tokens because they can't make money in-game (because every profession is in the fucking shitter)
it's not rocket science

no sympathy for alchemyniggers
you profession deserves to be completely unprofitable too

>let people get away with a bug that literally ruined the economy for the rest of the expansion
What happened

there's a new tool in the patch that allows you to loot cauldrons around the world for free potions
one of them mistakenly had a very short respawn time

so what you're telling me is that you're comparing an exploit which required DELIBERATE actions by the player (separating potions from the stack before consuming them) versus a completely accidental oversight by blizzard, most likely someone who forgot to input an extra 0 on the respawn timer?
question: are you retarded?
