    idk how you're finding it boring but sounds like you guys just need to move on. ive been playing since vanilla and been great so far for me

    Overall it´s a "Looks nice on the Outside, but is pretty hollow on the Inside" for now for me.
    ....man most your points are terrible lol

    ill leave the subjective things like story and zone design out but what did you think was end game? WoW end game has ALWAYS been dailies, chores, dungeons, etc. its been like that since vanilla lol only difference is that you dont have infinite systems now and the weekly caps are pretty reasonable. none of it is mandatory either. the reasoning for hating the crafting system is a joke, OMG i have to get more stuff its too much work! lol Gameplay wise you have felt weaker at every new max level since BC after leveling. Thats what happens when you were geared and you go to pleb stats. go farm gear and quit crying.

    I've been enjoying it more than I expected. I actually like Night Fae a decent amount even though they were my bottom pick for covenant choice. I also like MM a lot more than its BfA iteration so I'm enjoying that as well. The leveling was pretty decent although the stories could be summed up as: get introduced to covenant, covenant gets betrayed by another faction in the zone, everything goes to shit.

    Whilst I’m still only levelling at the moment my experience with it is very positive. It’s miles better than BFA.

    Subjective

    You fucked up. If you just do the main quest chain, you end up having to make up the difference in xp to catch up. It's also week 1, so obviously the rest of the content isn't out. If you don't raid or PvP, that's a you problem.

    -Maw is in my opinion one of the Worse zones ,if not the worse, they ever made. having to run around in that is just tilting

    The Maw is a bit shit. Hopefully it'll get patched later but I do agree with this one for the most part. Worst zone ever is probably a bit of a stretch.

    -Crafting System (at least for Smithing) is utter Garbage, having to have materials from every Zone just to Craft a Specific Ingot is tilting af

    Crafting has used materials from multiple zones for ages. How are you only finding out about this now?

    -Gameplay wise i feel alot weaker compared to Legion/Bfa Start when i hit Max Level

    Rose tinted glasses. Get some gear and when the next expansion rolls around you'll remember the start of this one wrong too and complain about exactly the same thing.

    -Covenants yeah dunno yet about those, having the Story gated behind renown tho is kinda bullshit

    I guarantee if you could play through the entire story you'd gobble that shit up and then complain that there's nothing to do.

    Overall it´s a "Looks nice on the Outside, but is pretty hollow on the Inside" for now for me.

    Again, most of the content isn't even out. Idk what to tell you, it's week 1 of every expansion ever.
    I mean, I've replied in the quote but most of this seems like a big 'ol stretch to find things to pick fault with.

    Yeah I feel like they've regressed from BFA quite a bit with transpo. Overall it's not that big of a deal, but it's a big change from BFA.

    I mean i expect to play it for a month at least, so it's well worth the money I spent. Will likely return to my main game sooner or later since WoW tend to have zero longevity.

    About as good as Legion and BFA, aside from not having asinine grinds and rng that came with Legion.

    The quests got a facelift at least

    But soon after Mr Xi secured a third term, Apple released a new version of the feature in China, limiting its scope. Now Chinese users of iPhones and other Apple devices are restricted to a 10-minute window when receiving files from people who are not listed as a contact. After 10 minutes, users can only receive files from contacts.
    Apple did not explain why the update was first introduced in China, but over the years, the tech giant has been criticised for appeasing Beijing.

    Zones look pretty good except for Bastion, bunch of tards looking like smurfs, just extremely boring stuff. I've given up on lore anyway so everything is on skip cutscenes and auto accept/turn-in.

    Wow's lore has been dead too me since wotlk.

    Wait...if everything is set to auto-skip how would you even know if it's good or not?

    The new zones are great and all. Love the new art style. They all feel very fresh. Once again its the art team that has saved WoW. However, the quests all feel similar and a "been there done that" kind of feel to them. Its almost cookie cutter at this point in time. Nothing really stands out. I get that Blizzard tried to freshen things up with side quests and a main campaign, but following the main campaign in Bastion was just terrible. It was slow and I had no idea what on earth was happening. I am also once that loves reading through quests but bastion was just terrible. It only got a bit interesting towards the end after the Maldraxxus attacked Bastion.

    I think that is the problem most people are currently having with the game. Almost the majority of the people that I've spoke to and even on the internet have found the intro and Bastion just slow.

    I'm suffering because I chose to change my realm to Draenor... take a few minutes for NPC's to talk... I'm still in Bastion I like it so far though

    It's always fun with something new atleast in the start and it beats the boring shit that was bfa but as I said we will see how long the fun lasts.
    Do you hear the voices too?

    Right, but I mentioned that in my comment. The point isn't that these questions aren't answerable -- they are all answerable. The point is that you have to ask them to begin with, because the story is so needlessly convoluted

    I didn't buy SL and have stopped playing, but I suspect the big complaint will be that WoW is boring without loot showers. Drops are going to be rare at endgame. Players haven't gotten that far yet.
    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.

    because it's common knowledge the story in modern WoW is fucking terrible

    Not really.
    You either raid or you play something else.

    Well, right now you can't play at all due to queues, server crashes and lag but after that you raid or you play something else.

    She does get asked this and answers it is because she chooses it to be as such.

It's the characters, and Blizz continues to just not give us interesting ones or even ones that we can grow to like for that matter. They're here for a couple hours then into the memory hole they go.
    the issue is that WoW's writing team is just straight up not good enough for that. They have massive egos (refer to any interview with Danuser if you want to be sure of it) and genuinely believe that they can write great and impressive stories,but when they actually try to do it....well it just doesn't work
