Why do people always spout that nonsense, "omg it's alpha, omg it's beta" as if they might scrap the entire concept or re-design it a couple months before launch. I've got news for the all the idiots who continually make light of areas of concern because the game isn't a few months off: most of the time this shit makes it to live unchanged.
If there's any time to complain it's now because after you can suck a cock for the rest of the expansion 110% of the time.

Garrisons was actually one of the things I liked about WoD but as always, they were TOO grindy.
You can make like 50 characters per account, there are 12 different classes but who in their right mind would want to grind everything on all of them?
Also they had a lot of boring missions with pointless rewards and the faster you sent them out, the faster you got new ones.
So if theyre getting rid of the mine and the garden and also all the boring, useless missions and limiting the amount overall, Im good.
TO FIX WOW:1. smaller server sizes & server-only LFG awarding satchels, so elite players help others. 2. "helper builds" with loom powers - talent trees so elite players cast buffs on low level players XP gain, HP/mana, regen, damage, etc. 3. "helper ilvl" scoring how much you help others. 4. observer games like in SC to watch/chat (like twitch but with MORE DETAILS & inside the wow UI) 5. guild leagues to compete with rival guilds for progression (with observer mode).6. jackpot world mobs.
So why bother with troops.
The entire garrison idea is shameful and un-immersive. If you want to succeed, you're forced to into this route. You're forced to do something else when there are other things you'd rather be doing. It's just a sad idea that was poorly thought out. Resources were pooled in WoD and they didn't want to lose out.
Bloody waste of time.
I was a Death's Demise.
Those were the good old days.
I don't always hunt things, But when I do, It's because they're things & I'm a Bear.
..and so he left, with terrible power in shaking hands.
1. Why would I wait hours (days?) to get a quest for myself from the missions? Why not just, I don't know, get the quest from an NPC?
2. Why would I go out of my way to farm resources to access missions (!!! blergh. You hate it? Guess you have to work now to access what you hate!) to access quests that are on hours/days cd?
Why not just go with daily/weekly quests if they want time gate?
3. Why have they kept the gold reward missions? Why have they kept the other "fluff" type missions? Will we have another brilliant SELFIE cam coming from the mission table? Why not from the world?
Overall: Why keep the mission table at all, it serves no purpose, no depth, no real engagement. Only for the timegate and RNG element then? That's great :/ We need more of these in the game.

Because the whole idea of standing at the same quest giver (called Garrison table or Class Hall table) every day to get and complete quests is not immersive, social, interesting or MMORPGish? I remember very well when Blizzard themself told us that they dislike the "chrismas tree light effect" in WotlK when you enter a quest hub and get showered with ~10 quests, that they planned to put the quests all over the place and breadcrumb questlines that make you visit the important places.
Many years later their solution is not to have quests all over the world, quests you find by exploring and quests and tasks that evolve naturally by interacting in the world. No, let's stay in the same place all day and get spoon feeded quests, gold and gear with no interaction with other players, the world (you visit it to complete a quest given in the class order hall, not because you explored it and found something) or as questlines that start at point a, send you to point b, c, d, e, f all over the place, maybe even enter an dungeon and finally complete it at point g with a big final reward. No, that would be too much fun and engaging. Better stay in the same place all day, play a facebook game with waiting times and only enter the world when the table tells you to (but not too long, better hurry and get back to the table soon to check for finished mission).
Atoms are liars, they make up everything!
I think it sucks why would you play wow when you can do the same thing for free on a webpage.
This makes me seriously doubt whether i will re-sub for Legion. Have they learned nothing?
