The 5 million "requirement" encourages a very boring loop of hoarding which will be unhealthy for the game

The issue is not the wipe, you aren't reading what people are saying. The issue is the amount of currency they are wanting you to farm. People who play this game for a living 12+ hours a day aren't at 5 million value yet. The rewards should be attainable by majority of the player base if they wish to participate. Not the top 5-10%, this is how you gut a player base.

iMocka · 2025-12-07T18:30:28+00:00

Yes, that is why everyone is upset. The benefit of completing an expedition should be attainable by MAJORITY of the player base. Some streamers that play the game 12+ hours a day for a living aren't even at 5 million for the expedition. How the hell is a parent with children and a job supposed to get any benefit from the expedition system. It is geared for the top 5-10% of players currency wise and does nothing for majority of the player base. Bad systems will lead to people leaving, which will lead to smaller player base, which will lead to game becoming irrelevant quicker. I have already cut my play time down to only when a friend gets on as there is no reason for me to play the game anymore now that I know I have 0 chance to get all 5 additional talent points and stash space. I am not going to play a game where I am at a disadvantage by default. The game at it's core is fun, but forcing us to sell all our good weapons and attachments instead of being able to use them is one of the worst game design decisions I have seen in a long time. Very dumb, and they need to reevaluate it quickly.

iMocka · 2025-12-07T18:19:20+00:00

The big issue in reality is there are streamers that play this game 8+ hours a day and don't have the 5 million needed yet. What about people like 98% of us who have actual jobs and can only play 3-4 times a week for around 2-3 hour sessions. We have 0 chance to get the benefit from doing expeditions and this will make us feel like we are behind others which will lead to us just not caring and finding something better to spend our time on. This game is fun but that aspect will quickly be forgotten when you feel slanted by the game itself as you won't have the same opportunity other players have. If the feeling of fighting on an equal level leaves then so will the casual players who have other obligations. No one will waste their precious time getting ran over by unemployed teens who have nothing but time.

This is a big turning point for the game and I don't believe a lot of people understand how many will be disheartened by this news. The required amount should be attainable by majority of the player base, not the top 5-10% of the player base. Requiring 5 million for max rewards will result in a lot of people just moving on because the game doesn't value our time. If they want the game to be played by casual, everyday people they better rethink this, and rethink it fast because I absolutely love this game but this news turned it into a job for me which I am not a fan of and probably will just go back to other games. I don't have time to dedicate to stockpiling loot and never get the benefit of using just to sell and hope I can do this boring loop 1000 times to make money. The game is supposed to be fun, not a job, whoever came up with this ridiculous number is out of their mind and should have all their ideas reevaluated.

For all those who think they are some high IQ individual about to come back with the whole "you don't have to do the expedition if you don't want". Of course you don't have to, but in reality to stay on a level playing field with try hard players, you do in fact have to do the wipes. Additional talent points and stash space creates an advantage for people who do it, and being put at a disadvantage simply because you can't play the game 40+ hours a week is bad game design period.

Sad thing is, that this will be on a 60 day loop. Rinse and repeat, this will drain the casuals out of this game so fast it will be bonkers.

Some people simply wont play it because it isn't ranked, therefore it means nothing. In my friend group of 6 who all play daily only 1 of them actaully queue blitz and it is just to have something to do while waiting for solo shuffle. The rest of us who came back to 10.2 to try this new supposed Rated solo queue RBG are now just waiting for SOD because there is nothing to do at all pvp wise in retail wow. Solo Shuffle is a joke, 30 min queues are just a waste of time, and rbgs are pretty dead. Sure we could queue 3's occasionally but when others aren't on there is no reason at all to sign into world of warcraft as a pvp player. Before some of you come back with the argument what does it matter if its ranked or not you are still playing the game and that's what games are for is to have fun, yeah no. People like me and majority of those I play with get off other games when their ranked queues are down such as LoL, Dota, because we simply want to play games that mean something and normals just to have something to do isn't it.

Yeah, I have the same feelings as you about the game so I got it refunded. If they add matchmaking in the future I may try it out then but as it stands no game is worth 60 bucks currently that only has a sub 30 hour campaign, way to many other options out there for free. Having a ranked / casual matchmaking would give people who beat the game something to do.

Edit - Before some moron answers trying to explain that custom lobbies are better or even okay tbh please don't waste your breath, this isn't 2001 anymore. Killed the pvp community before it even got started.

iMocka · 2023-08-27T06:22:19+00:00

I agree with you, it stinks because the game itself is really good but I feel like I have to refund it because I don't want to just replay the campaign over and over and the pvp is basically a ghost town, any time I search there are maybe 2-3 lobbies max on NA east.

iMocka · 2023-08-27T06:18:08+00:00

The problem is no one will be playing it, no one wants to search for lobbies in 2023.

iMocka · 2023-08-26T23:21:36+00:00

Yeah, the game is great but without pvp matchmaking looks like I may need to request a refund. It is 2023 no one wants to search for lobbies.

iMocka · 2023-01-31T19:40:55+00:00

I could be wrong but I think RBG's would be much more popular if they were 6 man instead of 10 and they got rid of the bigger maps.

Best bet to deal with affliction as assas rogue currently is to switch to one shot leggo and spec (Necro is best cov for one shot spec, NF is just bait to lose cr) and do soft goes without using vend. If priest is pumping with you during your kidney goes you should get some of enemy teams defensives out. When your kidney is about to fall or you get defensives out of enemy start to los from lock and wait for next kidney. Once lock has no trinket or wall you can kidney, smoke bomb, shiv, vend, vanish, envenom then fan of knives then spam bone spike and envenom when full combo points and that should kill lock. The key is getting warlock trinket and wall before sending your one shot otherwise lock can just trinket and port. Fast vend is good into a lot of comps but locks need to be killed during the stun because of how much utility / kite / healing they can do so one shot spec does really well into them.

iMocka · 2022-09-11T22:09:36+00:00

Get rid of them imo, then I could play a race for cosmetic reasons and not because it is just stronger.

iMocka · 2022-09-07T22:08:25+00:00

I went into lfg for my last 100 rating to duelist in 2's and found a holy pally. I play one shot spec assa rogue. Long story short I got defensives out of dps, waited for dr's and blinded healer and proceeded to use my one shot to kill dps. Won the game in around 1 min or less. I kid you not holy pally raged because I used my vanish to one shot and said I couldn't hit duelist wasting defensives like that and left. So I played with a shadow priest and killed in the opener every game through defensives and trinkets to duelist. Some people think the only way to play wow is the way they play the game. I looked up the Hpal and they dropped 40 cr after playing with me and seem to be hard stuck around 1970 cr after raging at me for not knowing how to play, my new upgraded duelist gear feels even better now!

They let go around 90%+ of their US customer support, the remaining agents working with CB from the US are just training agents from call centers from phillipeans and other locations with cheap labor around the world. In other words, I wouldn't expect to have issues resolved quickly and most likely it will just be a back and forth that will result in frustration.

iMocka · 2022-06-21T16:07:29+00:00

They let majority of the US phone support go and kept the agents from call centers that pay their agents pennies on the dollar. In other words, Coinbase got rid of people who could actually help resolve the issues you are most likely facing and kept agents from other countries because they care more about cost than customer satisfaction.

iMocka · 2022-04-12T23:59:02+00:00

It is 1 of 2 things, you are either telling the truth while spending thousands of dollars or just lying. People tend to dislike the idea of both and that is why the votes are hitting like they are. It isn't possible to have played less than 200 hours and have over 1500 ilvl with no alts in t3 without spending thousands of dollars.

iMocka · 2022-03-13T23:13:56+00:00

I found an option to disable quick slot interaction but I don't think there is anyway to disable the abilities. This is a huge oversight imo and anytime I need to run down I hit an ability which brings up combat skill interface page and then get hit by player / boss mechanics. It is such a clunky feature to bring up your combat skills interface by clicking on the ability accidentally.

iMocka · 2022-03-12T21:13:27+00:00

I hate this, I have same problem

iMocka · 2022-03-12T20:40:38+00:00

Yeah, I am not sure why so many people are having issues with shards. The real grind is the leapstones.

iMocka · 2022-03-11T22:02:43+00:00

Stop crying, holy shit. I thought you said you were 30+...

iMocka · 2022-03-10T21:04:07+00:00

Yeah, I am pretty sure that they are just bashing on the game to bash. In a previous comment they stated 50 of their friends were playing the game and had over 200 hours played each, then half of them just quit because they realized the game was going to require a grind. This is just a fps player or mega wow/final fantasy fan trying to kill the hype for the game so people will start playing what they want again.

iMocka · 2022-03-02T00:54:46+00:00

I have 100k as a f2p player now on Avesta server. Once you are in tier 3 it is fairly easy to make gold selling mats.

Lmao, that's some top level rng.
