I only resubbed 2 days ago, after largely staying absent from retail since 2016. My experience so far is quite similar. I like the new leveling style, the updated graphics, the amount of customization you have with your character. I'm a huge fan of the new talent trees. And it seems like Blizzard has taken some of the criticism of time-gated content and borrowed power to heart, and they're introducing ways to obtain old, now-obsolete items and appearances for the folks like me who love collecting stuff. _But_ my introduction after finishing Exile's Reach was really weird. I was thrown into Orgrimmar, talk to Sylvanas and no more than five minutes later I was appointed Champion and Ambassador of the Horde- like _mate,_ I'm level 10, I made this character like half an hour ago, I didn't sign up for this, what kind of drugs are you people talking? However then after returning I could select Chromie Time and level through content of my choice in my own pace. I actually chose Warlords of Draenor for leveling, because while there was a *lot* which sucked in Warlords, the questing experience was one of the best in my memory.

If you are looking for the classic experience of that not everybody looks like a super hero, you need to go into WoW Classic Era as long as there still is no Shop Services. There are decent servers and you get to enjoy the classic experience with no official way to just buy yourself what you want. Or you can try your luck at HC.

You just go back to the same NPC and drop your key back to a 2 again and repeat till your gear and farm the valor. Then you hit normal and heroic raids for tier or other gear. You can also turn M+ gear into tier pieces as well and get ur 4 piece. Good luck man.

And then came Dragonflight, and I've loved every bit of it. The professions, the raid, the dungeons, quests, outdoors content, and the very feel of the continent is just so good and full of life. I'll miss some things from Shadowlands, mainly zones like Revendreth and Maldraxxus, but Dragonflight just feels good at every point, and I don't feel like I'm doing something wrong every time I renew my sub. I'm lovin' Dragonflight, and I hope they keep going through the right path, embracing the fact the we do not want to be, lorewise, the unstoppable champions of the Horde/Alliance/Afterlife/Azeroth, but just explorers, going head first into the wonders and dangers of the unknown, fighting all kinds of things with our own characters (not through mission tables), and getting some sweet loot for it

I didn't get my AP from Maw of Souls or AoE-farming Islands, I got all of it through world quests, and that one weekly quest where you do 4 Islands and it gives you a nice juicy nugget of the stuff. And when I did those Islands, I actually explored them and had fun like God intended instead of nuking the whole thing and being done in 20 seconds. I'm pretty sure my first Legendary in Legion was Sephuz's Secret, but I didn't even know it was bad and so I didn't care. In Shadowlands when everybody was complaining about Choreghast, I only did enough of those to craft a single Lego and then I didn't go back in there for the rest of the expansion. Covenants weren't a problem as Night Fae was simultaneously my favorite and BiS for the whole expansion (I play druid of course) and I didn't change my conduits often enough for Conduit Energy to annoy me.

Completely agree on the "You Are the Chose One" stuff. While I think it's important that the player feels like they are significant and irreplaceable in certain situations, I think the whole "chosen one" vibe flies in the face of the "World" in World of Warcraft. It's much more compelling to gain fame and notoriety within your clan, group, or faction than just being "chosen" by default. And a point of clarification: there's a huge difference between this "chosen one" trope in WoW and the hero's journey, which is the arc through which nearly every story is told. You can still be the hero of your story without being a god inside the story universe. EDIT: Completely agree on enjoying waiting for the zeppelin to take you to and from the Dragon Isles. All of those small details are what made WoW stand out in the early days. The IMMERSION was what captivated people.

My biggest problem with modern WoW and why I quit in WoD and looked at Legion and BfA with disgust was because it felt the story just turned into Millennial-written, Marvel-obsessed garbage. Even the aesthetics of WoW no longer felt like the aesthetics of WC3 through Cata. The game took on a completely different identity that felt like it was made by millennials who love Marvel and nu-God of War and wanted to make something like that but were stuck within the confines of WoW. And the writing team's obsession with super hero garbage negatively affected the leveling process and gameplay because you'd always get interrupted by scripts of NPCs talking to eachother for a minute whereas in older WoW expansions you were never FORCED to read the story most of the time. If Dragonflight is like Wrath/Cata/MoP I might give it a try.

And i disagree in one thing: While Shadolands story telling, and story over all was absolute garbage, Legion had the best storytelling, story archs, and easter eggs for US big lore nerds. If you did not appreciate it, is probably because you are not into WoW lore, and if you are not, then is not quite valid to critic the story telling of an expansion that did so good... Having playing since 2004, i do appreaciate the cinematics so much. I love vanilla, i love its story and quest lines. They were the best... But man Legion was so damn good. pretty much at every step. THE PROBLEM is you needed to have played back then when it was current. Im serious, id need to explain this, but it would take too long... but the fact is, back then lvls werent squished. they removed lots of things with bfa. and several changes realy makes it as the experience is not the same. Suramar was fucking great, One of the best zones added to the games in forever. The questline, the story, the pacing, how it actualy was hard back then. anyway too much about that... BfA story telling and story was also realy good.. the leveling part i mean. Alliance side was freaking good, The Drustvar, the pirates, Azshara. Theres a quest you need to rescue Jaina that ends in a cinematic sooooo good... she is being destroyed by visions of guid... her father... Rhonin.... Arthas... man that was so good! I played through the whole thing a couple times because it was that good. Again, you need to know the lore of wow or this things won't mean anything to you... but if you do, then man! So yeah... storytelling, while leveling at least on the initial patch, has always been realy realy good... even shadowlands leveling was ok-ish even if the the lore was... well... bad...

He is talking from new character experience, which shoves your characters between expansions, never building or concluding the story in any satisfying manner. Ofcourse you're not going to enjoy a story if you don't get to see the full picture. That's just the problem with playing old WoW expansions though, there is no reason to do so and in many ways it is broken with aspects like artifact weapons disabled or garrisons neutered. The game is structured around playing latest expansion and if you miss it, you pretty much miss the experience that was intended.

Right now you'd have to read Warcraft Chronicles vol 1+2 then play Warcraft 3 then WoW Classic, and only THEN should you jump into WoW retail, but you should avoid dungeons entirely and do Cata + MoP + WoD + Legion + BfA + SL + DF solo in order, maybe having friends assist in raids to kill the end boss, walking to the dungeon on foot instead of dungeon finder. It is a disjointed mess trying to understand the story right now.

Yeah, those 4-5 bad expansions really hurt WoW. Unfortunately, the streetfighter combat of Legion has remained and its this annoying juggling of build resource - spend resource. Rather annoying you have to go through a frickin combo to kill a critter for example...and worse - Every class feels the same due to this.

The problem with WoW is the leveling experience and end game content. What made WoW so special was u had to earn your gear while leveling and each gear u got felt like an achievement. And when u hit max level, it felt like an accomplishment. Like u pointed out, some classes can solo a dungeon at their level and just face roll to max level. Gold is another thing that was precious back in vanilla and TBC. Now everyone can obtain thousands of gold without even trying much making it a useless feat. If WoW could some how make leveling like Vanilla and make the end game content progress better than vanilla, then the game would be back on track instead of trending downwards. They made soooo many unnecessary changes that pretty much killed the game. Its no coincidence that since they brought back classic servers, the popularity of the game has came back as well. And no, its not Nostalgia taking place. Vanilla is just that good and fun...until u hit max level and raid content becomes meh. This is why people have been asking for Vanilla+ or even TBC servers as TBC raid content was phenomenal.

I came back in October a month before launch and painfully got 3 characters through Shadowlands and oh my god it was worth it. I've never had this much fun in WoW, I've already sunk in 300 hours and can't put it down. I've already finished the rep grinds which I have never been able to do this early on because the expansion is now becoming more casual than before where u need to get on every single day and if u forget one day your automatically behind and won't be able to catch up. I highly recommend coming back it's soooo much more fun.

I completely agree with this video about the part with the story telling where you are hyped as the main hero of azeroth. I play MMOs to be a part of the world, not at the center of the world. I am in a very identical situation to the author of this video. I stopped playing WoW at the later part of 2019. I went back to EverQuest but eventually found a home in Black Desert Online. What I look for in an MMO is immersion where I feel I am part of a world. I didn't get that during the times of MoP through BFA where I was the "one hero of azeroth". When I returned briefly for Shadowlands, I had the EXACT same feeling as the author of this video. I don't like being in a world where every major NPC sucks up to me and hypes me up. It doesn't feel organic, immersive, or sincere. I felt it was Blizzard just thanking me for keeping my subscription. If I wanted to be the one hero, I would play a single player game.

I was first introduced to the game a few months before BWL dropped. I remember that eventhough I was just chilling around leveling, I felt like, whenever I did dungeon groups, duels or whatever, that I had a good understanding of the game, and making smart plays, which benefit me a lot, when I finally hit 60. Making my way into various guilds, ending up on top 3 realm guild at my server (Bladefist, before most migrated to Outland). At this time, I was "too young", so I kept my voicespeaking on teamspeak, to the absolute minimum, while having lied about my year, to being able to even be part of the guild. When TBC released, I became MT, and we were clearing everything with a fast progression. Always having had a big interest in pvp, I was so hooked on arenas! I remember I slowly started to show more interest in this aspect of the game, rather than clearing raids. I accelerated on the ladder, with lightning speed. Being top 10 on my realm in first season, then top 5 in second season and 2nd on third season and fourth season. Keep in mind, that this realm was very competitive and later has turned into one of the go to realms for pvp players. When WOTLK finally came, I was starting to feel the hunger leaving .. being burned out with 3 characters that I raided on, while pushing for high ladder rankings. After leveling to 80, I quit within Naxx. It took me to the last phase of MOP and actually just before prepatch, to return to the game. Almost quitting right away, due to the changes feeling so weird for me. However I stuck around, and I rediscovered my old feeling of the days, when I would mind my own business, while just doing quests and leveling (with no deeper purpose), while also discovering things such ss heirlooms, dungeon finder and what not. Once WOD dropped, I got hyped, and my competitive feeling took over. I leveled multiple toons and started joining pvp guilds. Being all hyped on both arenas and rbgs! Once again, I felt like even if I had gotten older, I find my ways around the game rather quickly, and got myself a good team for both rbg, and 3s (even with a bench player). While not trying to aim for the same goals as before, i went to 2.4k 3s, in my first season since wotlk. 2.6 in second and 2.7 in third... My team would later disband, as many did during WOD... I was still hooked, but I honestly didnt care too much about my ranking at this point... Just wanted to play and have fun.. Legion came and here I basicly just played 3s with a bunch of different people, constantly changing between my FL. It was much less competitive for me, and I think I got about 2.4-2.5 more or less during the entire expansion. I tried BFA, for like a month and called it quits... I was later talked into joining vanills classic, and boy was that a rush! Noe ive been playing that ever since, while also having had a few months of breaks every now and then. Still enjoying it, and im excited about trying out cata for the first time!

Leveling alts, I've noticed that you can get about 2-3 levels in one BC dungeon run(Which are probably the easiest and most commonly chosen ones, so the ques are fastest.) Which means that every dungeon, you get like 2-3 more talents and it makes you feel like you're actually progressing. Of course, the dungeons will feel harder if the ilvl of your gear falls behind your actual level, but with Heirlooms maxed out, that's not really an issue... Just super expensive. Even with 4/5 for your heirlooms, which all of mine were at before I came back to WoW after skipping Shadowlands, you can still use those until you get better stuff from the dungeons you're doing to level. I actually really liked Legion and BFA was 'okay', but I did quit several times in BFA and eventually didn't even wanna play Shadowlands. Like the storyline of Shadowlands was pretty interesting. The mounts and gear I've seen are also pretty awesome looking. But I can't be bothered to go back and do any of that now, because I just don't care enough lol. Getting to 70 is not that hard or tedious, but the annoying part is getting 'geared'. One thing they really did wrong imo, is that the rep for the various places isn't shared account wide. With the current state of things, by the time you get a rep to a high enough level to buy decent gear from them, you've already gotten way better gear from M+ or just killing some random Rares. Hell, even the quests and WQs give better gear than you'd get for grinding out 20-30 rep levels! It's just totally meaningless at that point.

I started in cata leveled 3 characters to 85 played some of pandaria but when warloards came around I just could not sit through the cinematic and walking from place to place with npc's absolutely killed this game for me. It's not fun, it's not engaging, it's not even remotely interesting. The people they get to do these cinematic are so far detached from the game and its gameplay it heavily shows the gap. You can totally tell when you hire someone to do something and they have absolutely 0% investment in the outcome because they don't care about the game.

My history in this game sounds almost exactly the same. I quit about the same time, have been gone for a decade, and am just now finally considering coming back. But I probably won't. If I even want to try it again, its like $65 for the expansion and first month. That seems ludicrous in 2023. I'm playing Warframe, and it was free to start and free monthly...and its great. If WoW doesn't do some kind of promotion that lets veterans come back and try the game for free (or a greatly reduced amount) I very likely won't ever play it again. It almost seems sad for a game that I've spent about 300 days /played.

I recently reactivated my account after an even longer break. I hadn’t played since the Cataclysm. I was confused for a long time and still am. The levelling is way too fast. I can’t collect gear quick enough to keep up with the levelling. The only solution is heirlooms or buying gear in the AH. For me, one of the best things about levelling was getting new gear and keeping it for quite a long time until you eventually upgrade. I have no sentimental attachment to my heirloom gear as I just clock to attain it with zero effort. Playing WOW now seems like just a conveyor belt to get to 60 where you cant slow down the levelling even if you wanted to

the thing is, you were never The Chosen One from the start, but over the many campaigns where you fought, survived and thrived, the PC was getting noticed as more than just a face in the crowd, in WoD you were a Commander and then promoted to General as the war in Draenor continued and you got your Garrison to level 3. in Legion you were considered a Champion of the Alliance or the Horde, and you became the leader of your Class Hall after retrieving a Legendary Weapon of unimaginable power, that ultimately was sacrificed to keep Azeroth from dying after she was stabbed by Sargeras' Sword. which leads to BFA, Azeroth herself called for your aid and you were asked of her to help her recover some of the energy/lifeblood that was leaking out of her due to her injuries. so you see you didnt just BECOME The Chosen One, you became the hero that everyone could call upon, when things looked hopeless, if you consider that poor writing, then whatever, but for someone like me, i'm glad that i'm not just a face in the crowd, a nameless murder hobo who just does things only for others to take the credit.

I quit after killing litch king in wrath…. Did not touch the game again until wow classic. Did all the content in classic from molten core to naxx 80 in wrath including all of tbc. Quit quickly after and decided to give retail a try. I have about 500 hours on a new priest I leveled 1-70. In those 500 hours, I got a mythic + rating of 2000, and an Arena rating of 1600 and did all but one boss in the new raid using LFG. The boss I have not done is second to last just before the final boss. The game, imo, is ok. I don’t think it’s amazing but it is entertaining. I give it a C-, barley passing grade. There are a lot of reasons why but just to name a few. 1). the crafting system is busted. I maxed jewel crafting and enchanting. I can make some of the most expensive enchants in the game with max possible inspiration but yet, I lose money on anything I try and sell from crafting. The JC designs are way too expensive for me to buy and way too rare. So I can only craft one useful ring. 2) end game feels like an E sport wana be. Arenas feel like a crappy esport, mythic + feels like a crappy esport with the added bonus of having no clue how you died even after reviewing combat logs and googling the mechanics. All gear progression is tied behind this stupid rating system be it mythic + or arenas that is a sliding scale based on your rating. 3) as you mentioned, I absolutely cannot stand the Ilvl bloat on gear!!!! My 400 Ilvl gear has line 1000+ int. All gear pre dragonflight is 30-120 Ilvl. Why? They keep invalidating old gear and I hate it! If you are level 70, the max Ilvl should be maybe double your level tops and no more! Idk, I feel like WoW just ain’t it. I’ll be back for the next season.. but I doubt I’ll sink another 500 hours in. I think I will just play guild wars 2 instead until a better mmo comes along.

100% with you on that "you are the chosen one" bs. I think it just kills imersion. I mean how many chosen ones are there besides my 8 characters on the server? It is 100 times more realistic to put the pov where you are just one of the thousands of random ppl in the world.

This pov has always confused me. I got it back when we were starting out in vanilla, but I always expected eventually to have my champion gain some recognition after years of doing epic feats. I'm aware from the lore perspective we were always mercy accompanying major heroes but I always expected that to change. Either that or for immersion's sake we would all be long dead without being rescued constantly (which would get old after real quick). When my champions were made generals in WoD i was like "finally some prestige!" Even though I hated WoD. All that to ask, what about having your champion be integral to the plot vs a stand-in or obscure figure is unenjoyable too you? Genuinely asking your perspective.

Tbh, Legion felt really fucking good when I did all the content back in the days. It was so much lore that culminated in this one epic expansion. Though I agree, the superhero status of your character is a bit overwhelming, playing Legion back in the days was a fucking blast. Dragonflight though, is probably the best expansion made. Combat is good, storytelling is better, gearing is the best it's ever been, and you have a lot of content that is optional. The ironic thing is that I have ended up doing more content this expansion because it is optional.

''Back in the days'' It's been just 4-6 years ago, how young must you be to consider that a long time ago? 😂😂

I just logged in for. the first time since Cata. I went back to the starter area just to practice and get the hand of my abilities. I got handed my ass. No more low level enemies now? And my level was bumped down to 26. I have a lot to learn I guess...

a new player at lvl 60 and 61 the diff are night and day a 20 k hp player can face even a 70-80k ho at 61.. had some char with the pre patch gear from shadowlands>dragonflight helped alot but with out it easyest way to get to 61 quick if you have 5-6k gold and buy materials on AH and craft for example blacksmith items easy way to gain 1-2 lvl so you can skip the pain :)

I just came back after years away, and it is such a headache to get anywhere. The tie between expansion packs is non existent. It is so confusing as a "new" player (I have major memory issues, so a few years away and I felt like a total noob, even though I started playing in 2005). There is a serious lack of direction in previous expanions/content.

I've seen multiple people come back to WoW and or check it out for the first time and get whiplashed by all the expansion introductions, often multiple at the same time. it would be so easy for Blizzard to streamline this. Simply keep Magni far away from the BfA quests, make the Maw optional for those that really want it or need some achievement. At least Dragonflight's intro was trivially short.

I also dislike the whole "super duper hero of the world, killer of the betrayer, slayer of lich king, destoyer of deathwing, mother of dragons" whatever crap. Like dude, lemme just help some little town in the middle of knowwhere with their kobold problem. The last few expansions made me feel like even daily quests where worded as if completeting each of them meant i directly saved the entire universe. Lemme just wander around elwynn forrest and help some dorky romeo and juliet people get a potion of invis, or help a farmer get back his pocket watch from some bandits. Or atleast, start an expansion like that and work up towards the big stuff. Going into Shadowlands and immeditely having "GO AND SAVE THE WORLD WITH THE ENTIRE HEROES OF AZEROTH" straight away, just made me wanna fly through that shit as quick as possible. To be fair, this problem has somewhat been solved in dragonflight. Just having some goofy side quests made a change, and made me want to listen and read. Like I don't want every quest to be part of a avengers chain where if i missed 1 bit of dialogue im screwed and forever confused. Just some nice goofy/funny/interesting/sad quest lines that are their own little thing without it getting all tangled into the web of the universe shit

I quit playing regularly back in 2012 at the end of Cata. I have no idea wtf a key or mythic+ is. I used to do pick up raids as a Assassination Rogue back in the day, so thats my idea of end game content, mostly on normal difficulty. That said, I've levelled some random characters well under max level at the end of Draenor and Battle for Azeroth, so I've experienced the level squish which feels nice but also like everything is too samey. On a random warlock I made 2 hours ago I literally just randomly wandered into the Wetlands because they gave me the quest for "moving on" right as I got to Loch Modan and it's hard to ignore that waypoint marker thing. Once I get through all this samey levelling, since I dare not touch my main not knowing wtf is going on anymore, what should I do??

I've just jumped into Classic again and have been enjoying it. Was curious about the state of retail so found this video. Absolutely crazy how long WoW went being absolute garbage, what the f*ck were Blizzard thinking? I swear the fact they're publicly owned makes them such a sh*t company these days. Even if you're saying that Dragonflight is good it just makes no sense to go back to retail after all the sh*t they've pulled, people out there literally have /played in hundreds of days and Blizzard basically just said to them "F you" with all the sh*tty expansions they released. Even now they're going to release Cata Classic, so people have to live through all the previous missteps they took all over again, seriously? Absolutely absurd what Blizzard has become overall.

I actually renewed, played with my rogue (60) in Dragonflight for an hour and honestly don’t feel like logging back again to continue. Too chaotic for the sake of being complicated I feel. Anyway, thats just my view.
