How is WoW nowadays?

I had a team of 4 mages and 1 priest, I enjoyed doing battlegrounds, world pvp, low level instances and raids.

I also enjoyed collecting vanity items, and also collecting heirloom items to make imba alts. My highest rating in arena 5v5 was 1600, I didnt spend much time on it.

Sounds like BGs was a pretty small part of your overall activities, apart from the /follow nerf in BGs the whole game has gotten better for boxers. At least in my opinion, although I enjoyed cata more then mop, I still have a lot of fun boxing.

It sucks that follow got nerfed in BGs, but there is plenty of other stuff to do in game.

yeah....

I wish I could agree with that.

The 5 mans in MoP sucked bad. Zero challenge. There were oodles of ground collect quests that only counted against the collector when I did 5 box. I despised questing MoP because of that. Gathering is boring. Tradeskilling is boring. Flipping the AH is boring.

I do agree as crazy as it sounds Cataclysm was more fun than MoP. I didn't think I'd ever say that. I long for the days of WotLK or BC. Back at the height of Cataclysm all I ever did was 5 man the end time runs. Those were a lot of fun!


Sometimes I want to come back just to do arena but you can only go so far in arena multiboxing. Yes, leveling/gearing up new characters is oddly the most fun thing to do but that's because the game is abysmal in every other department. Maybe challenge modes? I don't know.

What I liked in WoW was PvP.

In TBC with flying mounts world pvp went downhill, it was still possible to pvp however around meeting stones and places like azjol nerub / old kingdom. Not to mention gurubashi arena which was always fun.

Now with random raids there is no need to use meeting stones or at any point in time leave sanctuary zones where you can not be attacked.

Without battlegrounds there really is no reason for me to play the game. Get better items? And use them to do what?

Nah, I had a good time multiboxing in WoW but right now Im having more fun building a space rocket that will reach the moon
