I see tons and tons of ****** of people crying about how the game has been ruined and this and that. I have been playing since classic. I have run every expansion and grind the end game every time. I haven’t always loved what they did with the game but the quality of life updates are fantastic. The game is so much more accessible. Quite honestly feels like they kept up with my against curve. Nowadays I want to be able to log in and jump right into the action, which I can almost every time I log in. Sure there are tons of weekly upkeep things to do that I can never cap or maximize because I don’t play as much as I once could because I have a family and business to run, but nevertheless I am having a blast. This will probably get downvoted into oblivion because the general player base has changed dramatically, but I don’t care. I still love wow.

Gameplay around dungeons and wow carries is fine. The rest is very mediocre, and that's the core issue of the game. Instead of creating content for the player to expirence that will last for weeks, they design this stupids systems of "filling this bar during a month to increase your damage 5%, I hope you choose the right spec because if you don't, you have to fill it again. Oh, and in a year filling this bar will only take you a day. See? we are listening!"

Is wow still fun? Yes.

Was it more fun in the past? Also yes.

I think that is where a lot of the hate comes from. People remember how much fun they had in the past and see the direction the game is slowly heading and that makes them sad and angry.
