After MoP Blizz admitted that MoP daily quests were way too grindy alt felt like chores and removed that in WoD. What do they do in Legion? The biggest fucking grind of a lifetime. I don't mind the type of grinding for elitists and people with no jobs. By all means, those people need to feel some sort achievement in life, cause they don't get any IRL. Give them cosmetics or mounts that takes 6 months of 7h grinds a day, or even throw them some a ring. But artifact power grind, are u fucking kidding me? In order to play my class the way it's designed to be played, i need to spend 3 months grinding quests, and that is to play ONE specc? The classes are tuned around full artifact power, and u need to grind that even play your class fully?
Then u have pvp, so u remove gear, and disable PvE cause u want to remove the farming aspects from PvP. But what to u introduce instead? Meaningsless honor talent grind. The best ways to do is is to spam solo skirmish as Dps and hope u get another dps, u either win in 30 sec and loose 30 sec, and it matters little, cause u get honor both ways. No point in playing serious, cause some classes needs to have their honor level 46 talent to even function properly in pvp. NOT TO MENTION, the game is balanced around having full artifact power, which takes 3 months to grind, for ONE specc.
So this is your way of giving people stuff to do? Stuff to do is getting quality raids and dungeons out, or maybe epic quest lines, not a mindless daily quest farm, mind u, this grindfest is not to have BiS gear, but to freaking play your class properly.
I don't know about most people, but for me, on way to not get tired of an expansion is to play 2-3 alts, but who is going to level alts this expansion? Want to change class for a new arena season? Nvm need to farm 3 months of artifact power first.
Whoever is in charge of this game design needs to see a doctor. And in before some of the replys;
1.Yes, i've played since vanilla, and i've done grinding through all the previous expansions, nothing comes close to this level of stupidness.
2. No, grinding does not equal stuff to do, just cause u have no life.
3. I play the game cause i try to enjoy every new exp hoping blizzard learned something after 11 years.
4. MMO does not equal grind, it does not stand for Massive multiplayer online grinding game. U should do content together with other people, not grind 5h a day for 3 months BEFORE u properly can do content with other people.
/end of rant.
