Hello everybody!
I left WoW for FF14 couple of years ago but recently had a big break from mmos and gaming in general. Now, that I consider returning I have a few concerns.
First of all - stagnant, toxic community. When I left nobody even talked in-game, everything was done through multiple of third party apps. No wierd people in late night groups, no fun stuff in ah/inn and when finally somebody talked it was just insults, whining and spamming "wtb boost" or "wts token".
Second matter - World of Warcarft felt rather like "bunch of disjointed systems put together" of Warcraft. A lot of systems "to give you that rewarding, trve gamur experiance" and pushing esports/timers/skins everyware instead of building a sensible, consistent world.
Third one - over reliance on add-ons and third party software. There ware soooo many addons basically required to play. One to manage your ah, one to inv people guild, one to monitor your dps, another one to tell you what to do during the encounter because game didn't give any clues, and another one for better ui, so on and on and on... People cared more about those than actually playing the game and learn mechanics.
And fourth and last one - show of a lore. Lore of this game became more anime than FF14. Pandas, time travel timelines, super-secret- big-brain plans that came to existance to retcone some previous master-plans of super evil "morally gray" villan (all of them must be gray i suppose).
So... Did any of those matters were corrected or will be in Shadowlands? Because I don't want to pour my lifetime into a game that won't render my friend that play on the same server unless i inv them to party only to witness them materializing in front of my eyes. I don't really hope for removal of in-game shop or lfr. Thank in advance for all the answers.https://100001.onl/ https://1921681254.mx/
