    Exactly, opinions aren't facts. And seeing how the poll went in another post most people preferred Timeless isle then any other content MoP brought(which is basically the same since TBC). No one likes to do daily quests for 5 faction each day, I was spending just over 2+ hours a day for 3 weeks back at MoP release and I was like 1-2 weeks away from exalted everywhere except Golden Lotus. Just to be able to purchase the items with points.

    Good idea, but too small a scale to work imo, not enough to do and not difficult enough.

    I went there to get the 3 mounts and 20 battle pets. Tanking SoO in full timeless isle gear and a blue weapon was a pretty fun experience lmao

    The thing is, that if the content that's put out there for you to do doesn't engage you, so you choose not to do it; you find the game somewhat lacking and you log off. I don't think that's healthy for the game if large numbers of people are choosing not to participate in that content.

    And the fact that the 'dailies and progressive story' is split amongst several different options. For example I voted 5.1, but the deciding factor between that and 5.2 was the solo scenario gating that kept my Holy Paladin from participating. :\

    Battlebeard you are so damn right.....the timeless isle is the worst bullshit i have ever seen in a game.

    Ok, dailies like MoP 5.0.....a hell too, but dailies like the Argent Tournament, the best thing ever. I have done them the 10th or 11th time with an alt only two weeks ago. Blizz should remind themselves on them. They were the best way. Same goes for Thundering Isle and Molten Front. I liked them too. They weren't as great as the Tournament, but they were very good.

    And there is another BIG BIG downside on this Timeless Horror. When something like Dailies comes out with a new patch, well you have a calculated amount of time/afford you have to do per Day. You can plan ahead. When you get up in the morning you exactly know: Today i have to spent about an hour of time for everything and after that i'm free. With Timeless Horror you can't. There are bullshit amounts of things you can do to improve or you can achieve. And if you don't want to fall behind the others you HAVE to do that. This sums up to 2-3 Weeks of hours over hours of stupid grinding and a lot of nights without sleep. I for myself was nearly burnt out after Timeless Horror and was an inch away from quitting WoW due to enormous exhaustion. I decided for myself: FUCK YOU Timeless Horror.....i stopped doing this. Completely. At first I tried only to do the weekly for my Valor Cap. I stopped that too. I can't stand to see another turtle. I dreamed of Turtles....rotating Turtles.......NEVER EVER AGAIN. I rather go 4 days a week on HC Scenario and HC Dungeon than to set one foot on this fucked up Isle.

    If WoD will be like Timeless Horror as a whole.....bye bye WoW

    You hate Isle of thunder, you hate timeless isle

    this game is not for you, no need to make a topic about how you hate the game

    Yep have to agree with the OP Timeless Island is putrid.

    Play Ride to Hell: Retribution. Then, come back and lecture us on "worst idea in any game, ever".

    Because you can't back that post title up.

    Too many "I prefer to work for my gear" comments in this thread. The stuff from Timeless Isle is 496. Equal to what people were wearing a year ago when Heart of Fear and Terrace of Endless Springs were relevant... If you're content with using that then you do not seem to grasp the concept of MMOs; that is an endless grind to get the best stuff before the new best stuff is out.

    ^This was my problem w/ Timeless Isle, I was bored w/ it w/in the fist day or two. The overall idea of it sounded great but there just wasn't enough substance to keep my attention. I like the whole exploration idea and wish Blizz would go into it much more (kinda like GW2). Overall the isle was MoP's Ruby Sanctum... just bullshit content to give ppl something to do and catch up alts until WoD!, only problem is it got boring literally on day 2.

    The one thing they should've done is have the Moss Covered chest, w/ reduced rewards ofcourse after first interaction, regenerate weekly at random locations. Give ppl sort of a weekly easter egg hunt rather than a one time hunt.
    As far as the 496 ilvl tokens, I did use them to fill in missing pieces on alts but I think they were just entirely a bad idea. If ppl can't earn that ilvl gear through the somewhat raiding and cooperative play in lfr than they have no right to it because it does just hurt the players and added more "class ignorant" players into the LFR pool and it already has more than enough.

    Overall I think Timeless Isle was a good idea just really piss poor implementation. They could've done much better w/ it and made it so much more interesting and longer lasting PVE content or atleast I think they could've.

    i disagree that its the worst idea created in any game ever. having played everquest and star wars galaxies, the timeless isle is really not even in their league.

    however, it does suck, i go there as little as possible, and i really really really hope the 'timeless isle model' is only a small portion of the next expansion.

    For a week it was fun, but now I think it is killing the game. I only go on Tuesdays now, in hopes of a better drop from Celestials.

    The only good thing about timeless isle is how decent epic gear is being handed out to everyone who want to participate. Aside from that i completely agree with you - Timeless is the worst and i'd take thundering isle dailies any day over constantly running past dead rares and mobs with onehit you're dead abilities...

    As a first pass at something that looks like sandbox content it was more miss than hit for me. Tastes vary.

    Worst idea ever? Not even close.
    "...money's most powerful ability is to allow bad people to continue doing bad things at the expense of those who don't have it."

    Timeless island is an invention without true content but various of grinding work. It's a perfect combination of laziness designing and cutting budget.

    Results to that poll are very similar to what they were when TI was released, with ToT a second in favor of the voters.
    The votes are actually pretty evenly split, they compare one example of TI style with 3 of dailies so the daily option is somewhat diluted.

    I went there and stopped going after the second day.
    I do thunder isle instead to fill my waiting time in queue.

    Why do you care what other people are doing in the game, seriously. Just leave them alone to play how they want to play.
