I have been playing World of Warcraft since the beginning, though I admit my attendance drops off and comes back as new expansions and content patches are introduced. Legion has been out for a little while now, and so far it has rectified many of those problems and while it has not been a perfect overall experience, it has been the best expansion since Wrath of the Lich King. That expansion got off to a good start but quickly lost momentum for a number of reasons. I fully expect Legion to suffer the same first month player dropoff as Warlords - and I'll be one of them.A lot of long-time fans of World of Warcraft felt burned by the last major expansion, Warlords of Draenor. World of Warcraft continues down the path of being hyper casual, with Blizzard milking the diehard fanbase as much as they can while they still can. The experiences can't carry the game any longer and the social constructs that used to keep me coming back for my friends and guildmates have long been gutted.
It would appear that after 11 years, I've finally reached the point of simply being done. If you've played for any decent amount of time, there's nothing really all that new here - just the same typical Blizzard questing design and story telling all leading to the inevitable raid, raid, raid end game. Level 103 now and I'm already deathly bored with the expansion. So far it's a mashup of Burning Crusade and Wrath of the Lich King with a constant narrative of your character being the chosen one who will save the universe from the Legion (while you're running around your class hall with everyone else who are ALSO "chosen ones" wielding the same artifact weapons). Despite the smooth launch (possibly the smoothest of ANY expansion OR content patch, and I've been here since early 2005), I simply cannot get Despite the smooth launch (possibly the smoothest of ANY expansion OR content patch, and I've been here since early 2005), I simply cannot get over how "meh" and "been there, done that" everything feels.
