    Murloc Monday - ask your questions here!

    Aaaaaughibbrgubugbugrguburgle! RwlRwlRwlRwl!
    That's murloc for "Welcome to Murloc Mondays" - where people can ask any type of question about WoW without getting strangled by a Death Knight.
    Questions can range from what's new in Battle for Azeroth, what class is OP, and how many Demons will it take to down Thrall?
    Questions can come from brand new players, players returning, or veteran players who never got a chance to ask the right question. Afraid of not getting an answer? Rest assured, we know that at least 90% of questions get answered!

    You may want to look at /r/wownoob (Retail), or /r/AzerothNoob (Classic) as well!

    Here are some handy guides to start your adventure in Battle for Azeroth for the first time or start World of Warcraft as a brand new player or start Classic World of Warcraft as a brand new player.

    Unless you played in the current expansion, pretty much everything has changed. If you're returning after a very long break, check out the WoW Returning Players Guide.

    If you are returning from earlier in Battle for Azeroth, check out the guides for gearing up, unlocking Nazjatar and Mechagon, and flying.

    Essences on alts only magnify and shed a light on a bigger design problem: Blizzard's insistence that we must do ALL of their content and attaching a power reward to EVERYTHING.

    Posted: 23 Feb 2020 11:31 PM PST

    I've heard more cynical voices in the past like Preach say that Blizzard doesn't trust you to do their content if it's optional, thus they must attach something to it that will make you do it. Essences are just the final form of that. Blizzard wants you to do all of their content and wants a carrot to be there for everything but that carrot always contains character power unless you're talking about pet battles or cute side things like the bee mount.

    The issue is when the content is so bad that the only reason you'd ever do it is the reward. This ends up with you doing (and RE-DOING) a lot of content you hate and really lowering the overall enjoyment of the game. Don't do it and you don't get to have all your power gains, thus again lowering your enjoyment of the game either way. It's damned if you do, damned if you don't scenario.

    This isn't a big MMO world where you can do whatever you want. It's like, do you want to do this one thing and be really good at it? Well tough, you have to do literally everything else as well. So you can't really focus and specialize while also being optimal. You don't have the freedom an MMO should have.

    Even if Blizzard is coming at this from the more innocent angle of rewarding players who do everything, power gains are not the way to do that. Mounts, titles, transmog, pets are already there. One guy can ride around on their gladiator mount with their famed slayer of Azshara title and their 3.5k raider io score that's not even included in the base game as a lasting achievement, Blizzard. He's done it all, he gets to do that. He's done rep grinds? He gets all the exalted mounts, even the paragon mounts. He gets stuff for doing everything. Essences aren't required to reward that person.

    It just seems like Blizzard is afraid of making big content they release optional. Maybe that's cynical but it sure seems that way.

    While Essences are the ultimate joke in making you do content you never wanted to do, it did not start there. Let me give you other examples.

    • Warfronts - They gave Heroic ilvl loot even though they had less challenge than LFR. How many people would do more Warfronts if that wasn't the case? I'd still probably go for the mount but that's a cosmetic. That item could be azerite, thus residuum, good for mains. And it was very good for getting alts ready. Which means I've done way way more warfronts than I ever wanted to do and that content has zero replayability.
    • Islands - Honestly I think they're fine when they are optional. Good mix of cosmetics especially with the 8.3 boxes. But when they're the best infinite source of AP, you run into issues. Mind you, endless Maw of Souls in Legion was basically that except even more dull. You'll always fall into that trap if you can't balance AP properly or put a cap. If they didn't give AP I'd argue they would be more well received.
    • The gear situation between the three pillars - Raids/M+/PvP. Chances are you don't like doing all three. Yet because they share gear you have a very solid reason to. Mostly as far as Trinkets and sort of Azerite is concerned. And with stuff like guaranteed corruption from the weekly chests, you kind of have to get both if you're missing your best corruptions.
    • Visions - While a great feature to get all the cosmetics and achievements, the fact the item that adds sockets to gear is attached to them means you're not getting away from that. It's great that item exists, but it could've just been acquired as a drop or something.
    • Uldum/Vale Dailies - Give quite a lot of more visions (1.7 per week as Alliance right now) and will be BUFFED next week. This ties into the above point. Until you have your bis gear with sockets, you are not getting rid of these.

    And with Essences we've seen another aspect added

    • Reputations - With 8.2 reputations now actually have a power gain. While the launch reps only gave gear that you outgeared by the time you could buy it, now they tied essences, thus power increases to them. Because apparently just the mount at exalted isn't enough anymore.

    All these things are way more noticeable on alts because you don't want to be re-doing everything on alts. You usually just want to play them in content. You might have done the quests and reps on main once anyway for cosmetics and achievement but you wouldn't have done them on alts.

    When content is optional you actually feel good doing it too, because it's up to you. When the game decides for me that I should be doing something instead of what I actually want to be doing, that actually sucks. And the solution is simple: trust that cosmetics are reward enough.

    "Quests per zone" 2 - more accurate version

    Posted: 23 Feb 2020 09:39 AM PST

    I've done 31 M+ keys this week, all of them over +16. I've seen 1 corrupted item this week in all of these keys.

    Posted: 23 Feb 2020 09:31 PM PST

    I love to push M+. I don't do it for the gear. I just really enjoy the format.

    But with that said.... I did a little calculating because I've done a lot of keys this week. I've seen one really awesome void ritual ring (someone else got it)... but outside of that one item, I haven't seen any other corruption pieces. In the entire group. In any keys!!!

    Here's all the keys I've completed:

    tol dagor: 20*, 18*, 16* freehold: 20*, 19*, 18*, 18*, 16* motherlode: 20* underrot: 20 temple: 20, 19, 20, 17*, 17 junkyard: 19*, 17**, 18, 17* workshop: 19*, 19*, 18 atal'dazar: 17, 19* siege: 19*, 19 waycrest: 18 *, 18* shrine: 16, 19 KR: 19

    Now, this isn't going to dissuade me from pushing keys because I enjoy it for the challenge... but this really needs to be looked at. Corruption is the entire point of this patch and it is insanely rare outside of your weekly chest/pvp box.

    I'm not expecting a corruption piece out of every key... but in 31 m+ keys I feel like I should have at least seen more than ONE

    Transmog hunting in old content always reminds me of how good WoW is outside endgame.

    Posted: 24 Feb 2020 12:52 AM PST

    Running old dungeons and raids in Outlands, Draenor or Pandaria, doing quest chains in Azeroth or Kalimdor to get some low level cool looking item, i cant not notice how lovable, beautiful and nice place to spend times in WoW is.

    Anytime i see someone criticizing the state of the game and someone calling that person out offering to quit, i think they miss that important distinction.

    Criticizing the game, most people, i think, dont mean it core, it look, feel, music, old content and old zones.

    By no means they say the WoW itself sucks.

    By no means they say they dont want to spend time in the World of Warcraft.

    WoW is amazing game. Azeroth, Kalimdor, Outland, Northrend and Pandaria are amazing place to spend time in.

    Its just that endgame content and mechanics in it sometimes... suck.
