PVP:
>you just go to AH and buy 697-scaled gear and weapons at around ~3k a piece and you are good to start on any spec and any class
>697 is equal to 6/8 Champ gear
>you are immediately ready to start playing at minute-zero of reaching level 80
>play a day any random PVP modes, get marks, upgrade that gear to Myth PVP ilvl of 723
>you are completely done with gearing till end of season and you just play, only don't forget to grab tier set bonuses with catalysts
PVE:
>cuck humiliation ritual in gearing every single new alt you want to try in a seasonal activities
>have to do fuckton of delves, fuckton of low keys with acid retards, and pray to metzen's balls for getting other than belts and delve trinkets from vault
>warbound meme gear almost never fucking drops or it drops some vendor garbage
>muh WARBANDS cannot just share all the fucking gear you have on the account and ALL loot you get cannot be always WARBOUND because fuck you that's why

>PVP is much less popular that PVE. Participation numbers in PVP are stagnating each new season. Yet, PVP has the most humane and most alt-friendly gearing system. PVP gearing makes very close to the those quick session games, where you just log-in and play, with only remaining chore being actually reaching level 80.

The "interesting" GW2 content is "dynamic" world events. These "dynamic" world events = world quests in worlo. Blizzard already copy-pasted "live and exciting" GW2's open world since long time.
The only difference between worlo and GW2 is timegating - in GW2 you can redo those events as much as you want when they show-up on the map and still get rewards.
World bosses in GW2 also spawn on timer-basis and unlike worlo there is no weekly lockout from it - so you can also farm them all day long.
In simple words:
- If Blizzard will ever delete weekly lockout fuckery, then worlo will become GW2 even as is.

casuls enjoy them more because it is: go there ~> play the game. if you lose in delve - you lose nothing and just try again.
without soloq made similarly to arena and rbg - getting into m+ for casuls is shit tier experience. also key bricking is another stupid punishment mechanic which should cease to exist. it was copy-pasted from diablo, but in diablo it has ceased to exist with numbered keys since very long time - now you just need one generic key, which drops from pretty much anything you do in the game.

As dumb as that picture is, but being able to mog gloves separately would be kino. Why we don't have this yet?

It is past the point of no-return:
>Leveling is a pointless chore
>World mobs can be soloed by any class and any spec
>Huge zones are crossed in seconds with dragonriding
>Flying in general since TBC
>LFD
>World rewards are worse than any instanced content
>Gathering killed by bots since long time
>Game is designed in a way that 99% of the world is completely pointless to step-in besides current_expac_tier_island
There is no reason to do anything in open world, because literally anything else is much more beneficial for players of all skill levels. All those would activities and occasional events - are only there to quickly catch-up on alt gear or has some petsmountscheevos behind it - and everyone who participates in it hates doing it.

This patch sucks.

exactly. bloat with purely cosmetic purpose. talents could be easily deleted entirely and just given as passives by default. at this point probably nobody at blizzard knows why talents and leveling are still in this game, but nobody knows how to get of rid of both of these elements without causing a shitstorm.

WoW is the "esports" of choice for disabled people. think about that next time you wanna brag about your warcraftlogs or gayder.io
