I quit WoW long before coming here: I logged in purely to RP and nothing else. Logging in to do WQs and grind Heart power was already not fun as it was, and that didn't count doing Emissaries, N'zoth stuff and Naz stuff. Shadowlands double downed and added even more chores in addition to The Maw and Torghast, which were two of the worst things I've ever done in WoW.

Gameplay wise WoW has been struggling for a while. What finally drove me off was mostly the narrative getting progressively worse, (While I won't say FF14 has the best story, it is, at least, ~a~ story) the playerbase as a whole getting more toxic...The straw that broke the camel's back was the lawsuit.

I'll always treasure the good times I had in WoW, but I have no interest on ever going back, barring a A Realm Reborn-tier treatment of WoW.

One thing, be good to those who are new to the game, in addition to those who still enjoy WoW! We're all looking for games to enjoy and there's no worth throwing shade at folks liking something you don't!
