I tried retail again after playing classic for years and I can't believe anyone even likes it. If you told me most retail players were just Role players I'd believe you because it takes at least 30 minutes to find a group for anything in retail dispite its supposed high player count.
The game plays like it hates itself, everything you used to do in wow is now abridged and way faster so it feels meaningless. You mount up, jump and then rocket at super sonic speeds to the quest objective and if its mobs then you gather up as many as possible and then you spasticly sneeze and fart particle effects at them until they die then you rinse and repeat. Enemies level up with you no matter where you go and every gear drop is literally ai generated to be the perfect 1% upgrade to whatever have on.
The players that actually do play the game are obsessed with mythic+ and parsing but they all play like brainless mutes that can't do anything unless weak auras tells them to and only speak up to let someone know they did more dps then them. Mythic raiding requires sn autistic amount of focus while requiring an addon keeping track of shit you can't possibly keep track of otherwise and as you'd expect it attracts the worst kind of people imaginable. Ego centric, jobless assholes. Its one of the the worst way to spend your time night after night in complete silence, no talking or joking with the worst people ever freaking out that some one messed up.
Worst of all the world is a bore. World quests and delves are just chores. No need to group up or meet people or make friends, no one wants to talk to each other.
>>725364751 this anon is right but the only people I've ever had fun running mythic keys with were people I met on classic.
One last thing rotations stupid I don't like em you dont like em stop pretending to like them most of the playerbade plays ret pally because they don't like em I'm glad they are going away and retail is gonna be playable on controllers. Fuck you
