wow is shit

What made you sold on wow? Considering its been since 2010 for you? Not trolling. I'm legitimately curious? I quit wow when cataclysm came out and returned for the panda expansion, and stayed until the most recent expansion came out , but left the game roughly 2 weeks after it released.

I saw the info in regards to this new XPack but to me it just looks like more blizzard money grubbing game dulling bs. What is the appeal? New class? More lvls?

Scaling leveling zones (you got that questing ocd? need to finish every quest in an area without the fear of over leveling, then this is for you)

New transmog system (no more carrying around all your junk, just equip an item once and its saved forever)

Iconic raid bosses (biggest draw for me), personally never got back into the game because i could care less about the raids, the villains were meh at best BUT now with it being leaked that Gul'dan is the final boss of the 2nd RAID you can already tell that this expansion is going to have to have some great iconic bosses.

TLDR: first time since wotlk that i legit want to sub.

I see. Yeah I'm not very familiar with the wow universe or lore... so the iconic bosses don't do much for me. The other two elements are just 'meh' for me as well. I think I'll pass. Hopefully it's worthwhile for the people like you who are taking the plunge. The whole wow disappointment feeling sucks.

This. Im not impressed unfortunately.

WOTLK was just too good of a PvP era. The current WoW players don't realize that.

No TBC or WOTLK purist is going to return and feel good about the current game.

everything will start catering to ADHD.

its a new trend in gaming and the designers even suffer from it. industrial toxins and excitotoxicity and vaccinated brain dmg no bueno mane....

Don't you think that this has been the trend for the past 10 years? A trend that is just taking it's course to gold fish levels of ADHD. And everything too, yeah, even to walking into a Target store and seeing everyone standing zombiefied with their heads down staring into smartphone's dragging their thumb across the screen flipping from image to image. Blizzard has just been tapping into that.

That's what I was driving at.

There is no going back. Game design is a reflection of what's going on culturally. Goldfish attention spans with the ability to only focus on things that INTENSELY interest you.

There is an unpublished study done that games like LoL and DOTA2 are the perfect model of dopamine destruction. They basically get the brain use to a certain amount of pleasurable hits per millisecond that is very unnatural to our current DNA. These people "train" their brain's dopamine unknowingly while playing these MOBAs nonstop every day for several hours a day essentially causing permanent alterations in dopamine transport and dopamine reward.

The majority of hardcore MOBA players as a result cannot enjoy anything except MOBAs. Wish I had a link.

MOBAs and similar dopamine models to MOBAs such as Pokémon Go are the future of gaming.
