E: Forgot that blizz is a Microsoft company, which is massively complicit in the Palestinian genocide, so I'm boycotting and encourage others to play a better game aswell 🫢

What are your thoughts? Anyone still playing/diving in again/quiting?

Ain't played since Shadowlands launch and not kept up at all with the game but I hear it's been a relatively upward trend overall?

I've literally not seen a single screenshot or read more than the sentence "it's launching soon" about the new one, but I feel the calling deep in my bones.

Absolutely under no circumstances ever support Microsoft or Blizzard. For my wow fix i selfhost azerothcore and play with friends or the bot plugin

    Not buying Microsoft games. https://bdsmovement.net/microsoft

    As a consumer, boycott Microsoft products whenever possible. Here are some examples:
    Microsoft Gaming products (Xbox, Bethesda Softworks Activision Blizzard King)

    Ugh I was really into m+ and would still be playing, but I instantly dropped my sub when bds announced microsoft as a target (tbh didn't even realize microsoft acquired activision blizzard before that)

    I played the last expansion and it was pretty enjoyable but don’t plan on jumping back in for this one

    If you’re looking for a guild to play with I’m a member of Commune, as the name implies it’s a queer leftist guild

    I do also feel the need to mention that Microsoft Gaming including Blizzard are high targets on the BDS list, which is a large part of why I won’t be playing this expansion deeper-sadness

    The guild rocks though and they do play other games besides WoW

    My application said "I've been a Hexbear member for five years without being banned" and it was good enough. It's a shame EU servers have such high latency for me. The US offerings for leftist guilds were really lacking and I can't play with 300ms ping.

    It's just being based in the US. Even right next to a major network hub, my latency on any game with servers there tends to be like 20-50ms. With European servers it's always 100-200 with spikes to 500ms, with Oceanic it's a steady 500-1000ms and constant disconnections.

    yeah that's why i suggested turtle because it's free so even if u have mildly bad latency who gives a shit you're not pvping or raiding, 100-200 isn't anything for dungeons or random questing. plus it has a bunch of custom content.

    Haven't touched it since the SH shit came out.

    Also realized I mostly hated it long before this trying to do mythic raiding and live life. Not compatible with my audhd brain at all.

    It also started to get me down how the same farming addicted guild members spent most of their waking hours in the game, while their kids were growing up, partners moving out, world burning and all of it. Realized it's the kind of escapism I don't want in my life anymore, I'd rather read theory.

    yeah that was me this last go round on anni servers; consistently over top 100 world in my class/spec and all i wanted to do was die with the amount of effort that required

    I briefly considered it, but found out feral druid has reworked into garbage.

    Not gonna reroll my main spec, and I'm not interested if it's just generic dps spec now.
