It is pretty impressive how they keep actively making it worse though, you would think they would reach a point where they could just plateau on some level of mediocrity, but instead every subsequent release of the game is worse than the one before it. To be fair they seem to have a core of players that will buy and play the new expansion no matter what though, so the game will remain profitable simply off that subset of addicts.
Everyone who gave a shit was driven out by ActiBlizz corporate politics, and the people that were left needed to hire enough warm bodies to get shit done.
>Activision is one of the most virulent corporate entities on the planet that isn't literally a financier or a bank >ActiBlizz employees who question anything they say are culled on a regular basis >Activision has long been aware of how well inane deflection and pandering works to stifle criticism, because online communities will regularly latch onto the idea that their only critics are just racist/homophobic/transphobic/xphobic/yphobic/zphobic chuds and incels and that helps their lobotomized fans to convince themselves that Blizzard is still flawless and can do no wrong >Quality of games means literally nothing to them and hasn't for at minimum 12 years, so they don't hire staff to make good games, they just hire staff to make viable revenue streams and that's it
It ultimately comes down to Blizzard's fans being complete and utter morons and continuing to buy Actislop instead of playing literally anything else.
It will go on for at least 10 more years with an increasingly small amount of new content and shrinking player base so long as the handful of whales prop it up.
I am tempted to buy her game anyway. The game is pozzed to the max but it's still WoW, nobody created a better mmorpg yet and at this point nobody will
doesn't that happen like every year and they all flop? Even the ones that stick such as FF14 and ESO just can't compete with WoW's gameplay
>i'm going to keep playing a dead genre whose only gimmick is bogstandard with modern technology (many players in one place) because it's the kind of the landfill that is the MMO genre
Fun fact: recent active character data shows 2.3 million wow characters active right now and 1.3 million xiv characters. But in wow the average player has 3-5 characters on rotation per expansion, in xiv you do everything on one character and 95% of the playerbase has no alts at all.
It’s 2023, moron. Our values in the Ganker movement are more important than gameplay. Our world is literally coming apart because of trannies and homosexuals. Are you gonna stand up for the movement and play certified based and redpilled games like XIV and ESO? Or are you gonna join the libshits and play WoW? You’re on Ganker, so I assume you’re in the movement, right? Actions speak louder than words.
When the trannies come to exterminate you, you won’t have time for the “gameplay” in WoW.
>i'm going to keep playing a dead genre whose only gimmick is bogstandard with modern technology (many players in one place) because it's the kind of the landfill that is the MMO genre
People like you are the reason WoW will never die. They could replace every character you like with raimbow brigade representatives, fire whatever talent they have left, double down on the troony shit, force you to lick Kotick's butthole every time you log in and dumb down the combat to korean mmo levels and you'd still claim it's the best.
This goes beyond addiction, you are cultists.
BDO is about a hundred times more interesting to play than WoW ever was, I can't believe WoW players actually think their garbage combat is good or fun. Mind broken people that only ever play one thing and therefore don't realize how absolutely shit it is on every conceivable level, from gameplay to graphics to world building, it's all shit, and yet they keep consuming it.
BDO is only (and only) good for cooming to your loose prostitute character, nothing more. It's a boring grindfest where you have virtually no end game other than unbalanced junk pvp LOL.

You're a delusional moron and have no idea what's the actual meaning of the word "grind" (pro tip: look at BDO).

The thing about BDO is the combat is actually fun to play so you can enjoy what you're doing regardless, whereas playing WoW is equally as grindy yet the combat is 2 decades old outdated tab target garbage that is completely brain dead and dull, unengaging tripe. Play virtually any other game or better, genre outside of maybe gacha auto battlers and you'll actually have fun with the combat, but WoW players wouldn't know that since they never play anything but the stinking, rotting carcass that is their game.

Its honestly good but none of this is the problem, the problem is everything else. PVP? Not built for the players but instead built for MLG/MDI thus most no longer enjoy it. Balancing is also balanced PURELY around this. M+? Also not built for the players but instead built for MLG/MDI thus most no longer enjoy it. Raiding? Also not built for the players but instead built for MLG/MDI thus most no longer enjoy it. Its been like this forever too, Shadowlands and all that happened during Shadowlands just helped to open everyones eyes.
i do wonder if it is wow related. has the cognitive dissonance finally caught up with him? has the company he's gone to bat for despite them hitting him in the knee with a golf club finally gone too far?
he doesn't care about money. if he did he'd still be on his real channel. this situation he's in is 100% philosophical. he's questioning his own beliefs
it's been exactly that since mists of pandaria
yeah
>trans children
>and grandchildren
Huh?
grooming
Homosexuality reproduces through child abuse
I think we can go even further beyond.
it’s been that way since bfa
>"dood this game is gay and furry"
>Can't penetrate a male naga bussy
>take side quest
>it's some homosexual sending you to get something he can gift to his husband
Why is this so common in western mmos now?
It's common in every western entertainment now
>Not liking that fluoride stare
>alphabet people make up a small fraction of the population

curious
I hope you aren't implying that its the currently pushed topic to distract people and keep them divided.
Thats wrongthing bigot
>alphabet people
HOOOOOOOOOOOOLY, i’ll take that anon!
females were allowed in
>homosexuals make homosexual propaganda
>blame women for the homosexual propaganda they made
homos are such psychopaths
>ends
going to milk it for at least another expac
11.0 will be f2p with pronouns, obese options for character creation and breasts on body type 1 characters.
Screencap this and tell me im right in two years.
How were these people just allowed to ruin absolutely everything?
What did they ruin? WoW hasn’t been good in over a decade. You can’t ruin something that’s already shit.
It is pretty impressive how they keep actively making it worse though, you would think they would reach a point where they could just plateau on some level of mediocrity, but instead every subsequent release of the game is worse than the one before it. To be fair they seem to have a core of players that will buy and play the new expansion no matter what though, so the game will remain profitable simply off that subset of addicts.
They failed to do this and private servers fill the gap. The troons can't even put wow on maintenance mode successfully.

Why do these threads always use the same image?
do you see any avatargays in this thread moron? this isn't a general
Doesn't matter, MMO threads are considered generals by default.
No this is a WoW thread, Vauthry only does that with FFXIV.
No, Activision still has a couple more months to squeeze cash out of the whales before Microsoft completely neglects the game.
>wow's become so bland it's not even fun to shit on
Impressive honestly
I am tempted to buy her game anyway. The game is pozzed to the max but it's still WoW, nobody created a better mmorpg yet and at this point nobody will
there's like 3 big name MMORPGs coming out what are you talking about
doesn't that happen like every year and they all flop? Even the ones that stick such as FF14 and ESO just can't compete with WoW's gameplay
I stopped playing in BFA doe
Fun fact: recent active character data shows 2.3 million wow characters active right now and 1.3 million xiv characters. But in wow the average player has 3-5 characters on rotation per expansion, in xiv you do everything on one character and 95% of the playerbase has no alts at all.
No king rules forever my son.
they literally released a patch this week with 5 hours worth of content.
xiv is barely a videogame, it isn't even competition for WoW.
how do I buy and decorate a house in WoW

If you're going to be a coward who tolerates evil you can do that on Reddit.
>WoW combat
I like not feeling anything too, especially on the busted spec of the week.
How many of those aren't Korean and will be released before Jesus comes back?

>dumb down the combat to korean mmo levels
When was the last time you played a non-wow mmo? 90% of korean slop is way more complex than wow.
flashy auto-attack animations are not complexity
Neither is this.
That's why I play Affliction Warlock, it takes more skill than piano

what a fricking downgrade
I don't really give a shit about the lore since deathwing. The game is still super fun to play with my bros.
Everything ends like that in current year, Star Wars for example
All video game generals belong on /vg/.
sorry xivtroony, you don't have a pet janny.
How many wow tokens does it cost to get some eceleb threads deleted?

Yes, and it pains me more than you can believe.

So what are you frickers going to do when activiz disbands and sells wow for pennies to paradox to get pressure dried?
Laugh.
They'll never sell it off. They'll just have the game operate in semi-maintenance mode and start work on WoW2: The Mobile Game™
microsoft will genre swing it. warcraft the shootan. warcraft the 4x. warcraft the life sim
has there ever existed a more cucked fanbase than WoW?
DF do be bussin frfr ong
troonyflight so bad,our boy having to go to the hospital for panic attacks
He knows its over, wowsisters
i do wonder if it is wow related. has the cognitive dissonance finally caught up with him? has the company he's gone to bat for despite them hitting him in the knee with a golf club finally gone too far?
>xiv filtered him
lol
lmao even
He sees the writing on the wall and has realized that his primary source of income is drying up.
he doesn't care about money. if he did he'd still be on his real channel. this situation he's in is 100% philosophical. he's questioning his own beliefs
Dude, I cant just stay home and play WoW into my 40s?
