So to start this thread out, i would like to tell you my start in the world of warcraft.
Iam one of the players who have been here from the start, meaning i have played all the RTS games, even played war3 TFT on a high level. So when i heard about WOW, i was super hyped!. I allready loved the lore from the RTS.
So i got a beta key from blizzard, i tried it out and i was in love!. I stoped playing the rts game all together, leveled my first toon to 60 (Rogue Dwarf). Would like to say, back in the day we only had green gear, some blue gear from dungeons. There was the lucky ones who got the EPIC BOEs!!!!. Anyway way, back in the day people looked up to the people who got epic gear, epic mount and so on. So when i was leveling my rogue, my goal was to be as epic as the ppl with epic gear was. The goal was the thing that made me keep going on with wow. When i hit level 60, my first though was to farm 5mans to get full blue gear!, when i had full blue gear and some fire res gear, i was rdy to enter MC (when the raid was out). I managed to clear most raids in vanilla. Iknow that it wasn't a big % who got to clear all content in vanilla, even in TBC or warth.
But here is the thing, the GOAL keeps players going on, even if they dont get to the main goal. Lets take a great example: In TBC there was attuments, meaning you had to do every raid to get to BT. Iknow alot of people who only got to Karazan and not a step future. BUT they loved it, they knew that there was something keep working for.!
And another thing, back in the day, i was on thottbot or wowhead EVERY day when i was in school, to look up the awesome epic items i really wanted. This is a thing i dont do anymore, i think its
If we fast forward to today. Everyone can clear everything in LFR. Epics drops like crazy, now we got easy leggos aswell. Meaning the epic feeling is kinda gone?
I think wow have lost the "goal factor".
Now to my question: Do you guys/girls agree with me on this, that wow dont have as mutch to look forward to as it had in the old days?
The biggest thing i would love blizzard to change was to make it so all 5mans give blue gear only. LFR give blue gear MAX. Would love to have attument back as well, but thats kinda of a dream only ;D
What do you all think ? Iam super wrong in this or do you think the same thing ?
Thanks! Have a really nice day all of you!
