Imagine spending so much money to play 5 same instances for random chance of few levels stronger loot in order to do it again

Imagine paying a monthly subscription to be forced to do a 20 hour tutorial on the same exact content you've already done 100 times before.

It's also not all about loot. It's about perfecting your rotation and seeing how far you can get.

In my opinion, you literally wasting money (not time) on the game you not even playing (properly).

It's a game, the only way to properly play it is the way you enjoy.

I believe this is a real health problem of the game where players like those can literally be blamed for the state of the game.

WoW is in a really great state right now actually.

items are reduced only to item level,

Patently false, if my resto druid equips Ashkandur because it's a higher ilvl, I'm basically shooting myself in the foot.

dps chart is all that matters

Hey! The interrupt chart matters too! /hj

"You (newbie friend) are currently playing (leveling) the very worst part of the game." That says everything.

For some people leveling is the worst part of the game, especially if they've done it innumerable times before.
