Help dinousaurs fall in love and other ridiculous shit Blizzard came up with

[Deleted]

I want Bronto luv <3 , best luv

[Silver Forte]

It's okay to be childish.

[Cosmic Janitor]

While there is ton of garbage kiddy quests, you could also look at the benjin quest as a sort of zoo keeper, and the point was not them falling in love, the two wanted them to mate (aka fuck) in order to save those two from extinction. You also find out that she isn't having any because her last batch of eggs got eaten by some wasp or serpent monster, while benjin is a limp prick male that ddin't do shit.

The shrinking part was wow being dumb and quest designers being incapable of doing side quest that don't involve some dank memes and lame jokes.

On the other side, we have Drustvar, with Pig faced people, gore, witches, sacrifices, people that make sausages out from transformed humans..... need to go on?

[Ergunk]

Try the Alliance questline on Drustvar if you think this game is too childish.

[Accendor]

Come on, which adult seriously finds such quests fun?!

I do. And to be honest if you had not written that you did not like MoP as well, I would have assumed it.
First of all: Not everything has to be dark and gritty. Quests like this are usually used as comic relief (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comic_relief)
You may not like it, that is fine, but most people do.

That being said: You do not sound like an adult yourself. I do not want to attack you or anything, but your writing and some of your post make you sound more like a angsty teenager who things he is an adult now because he just turned 19. I am pretty sure you are older than that tho (account creation 2007!) so let me just give you one advice: Relax. Even if you are 30+, not everything has to be dark and bloody ;-)

[Detheavn]

If I wanted to play an adult game, I'd do my own taxes.

[Daedius]

Size does matter, OP... did that trigger you?

[Itisamuh]

I honestly don't like that kind of nonsense either, but the fact is the game's always had those elements. Every expansion's had some silly things mixed in, so if you've truly played since classic, this shouldn't be any sort of surprise to you. People saying this is the darkest it's ever been are equally full of it though.

[Mirishka]

Giant frogs and turtles that sound like ancient Chinese martial arts masters are another ridiculous parts.
The whole game is full of quests for 8-year-olds. Seriously. I have been around since vanilla, I did skip most of MoP because I found it ridiculous (although the expansion did have its dark parts, but now 13+ game turned in a game for 6-10 year olds. Even Anduin looks like a character made for 10 year old girls to have a crush on.

I expect void lords to have huge eyes and look like baby void lords.

Escorting robot chickens, making love potions (both in vanilla) and digging through poop in literally EVERY expansion is fine, but frogs and turtles are TOO much! Stop crying.

And to answer your stupid question, lots of people enjoy these quests. Just because you're trying to live life as an edgy edgerton with your I-wish-I-was-a-badass Korn signature (lol), doesn't mean everyone else is.

[Benomatic]

Korn is my favourite band.

I'm 35.

Mists of Pandaria is my third favourite expansion.

I love Jethro Tull.

I make an amazing cheesecake.

I adore local history regarding the disused railway line.

I play games for fun.

I hope to be an amazing dad one day.

I like to have fun because it is fun.

The adults that are not stuck up enough to not care about what is perceived as "childish" and what is perceived as "mature"

WoW has always been permeated with light humor, puns, pop culture references, and overall not taking itself too seriously. I mean, just this list invalidates any idea that it's more childish than it used to be:
https://wow.gamepedia.com/Poop_quest

It's true that graphics have become more vibrant and cartoony, but apart from that, not that much has changed. To be fair I have to admit at first I also was a little taken back when MoP was announced. But after actually playing it, it was one of my favorite expansions, and quite refreshing to have some bits that are cheery and goofy.

And just like MoP, I'm quite enjoying BfA, especially after the edgyness overload of Legion.

[Blysto]

We're playing a game. In a game things can be childish because it isn't real... and it's fun. The tortollan's are quite cool imo.

[Pebrocks The Warlock]

@Strawberry So are you ever gonna come back and try to salvage your argument or have you given up?

[Whitepaw]

Oh look another person trying to validate a stupid opinion by saying "I've been around since vanilla". Like that didn't have silly quests

If a quest bothers you so much just don't do it? It's really simple and it saves us from having to read your edgy nonsense.

Exactly! Vanilla had loads of silly stuff.

In fact, the whole game oozes of silly things. Just look at the graphics, the fact that you can play as a cow (!), all the collect-turds-quests (and the outhouses), the Mage spell Polymorph (yep, that sheep is funny) - I could go on and on.

[Irian]

You sound like someone trying too hard to be an adult. It's okay, a lot of people went through that phase.

WoW is a goofy and over-the-top game. If you were expecting serious story then you should've left...well, from the beginning. Even as early as the RTS games the games were ridiculous.

[Deleted]

A lot of people in this thread on their high horses pretending that anyone that wants substance in their game with adult themes and things to think about is just someone trying to be edgy.

The problem with the vast majority of the less serious side of WoW is that it's badly done. Some of it can be entertaining (the quest helping the Tortolan ride the horse in the Norwington Estate comes to mind) but most of it is actually childish stuff of no worth or comedic value. Would be interested to see how many people actually liked the toliet quest in Grizzly Hills, for example.

Funny, the only type of people I'd know who'd complain about this stuff, are 13-15 year olds, trying to act tough and edgy. No reasonable adult would give even the tiniest of shits regarding this... But then again the KoRn image perfectly fits the "edgy teen"-theme you are going for - so kudos on that!

[Pebrocks The Warlock]

There are plenty of "adult" themes throughout BfA and past expansions. The scenery is one of the biggest contributors to that.

I'm 28, played each expansion at least a little bit, including Vanilla, and I have no issues with such stuff (inb4 "animu avatar, gtfo"). If you want dark, go and play Age of Reckoning, or its private server. Warcraft never was and never will be dark.
