    💯 percent solo. Been playing since 2004. I’m in a guild with people from way back when but they know I just like to do my own thing and they let me lol. 😂 Once I get all my alts slowly to max level, I go into old raids and one-shot everything to farm transmog and mounts. Makes me happy! And no toxic players that way.

      Same in regards to runnin older content to sweep for xmogs and mounts.

      Same here ! And even when I do get to do dungeons and other more "competitive content" I don't take it too seriously or start raging over the smallest mistakes and such. I think people tend to forget that it's actually just a game and so they make it their whole personality to be the "best" at everything.

    I have been playing solo since vanilla. I have never been in a guild and have probably only done current 'dungeon/raid' content in any expansion maybe 1/2 dozen times. I go through raids when I can solo them and take my time. I like to look around, find nooks and crannies of stuff and lore. I explore a lot and try to find out of the way places in the world. For the most part I find the WoW player base/community to be beyond toxic and I don't want to bother with them at all.

    I used to raid a lot. Getting 20-40 people moving through a raid in a timely fashion is EXHAUSTING, my patience for it wore thin. The last 8 seasons I earned at least Keystone Master in M+ runs, but people became increasingly toxic as difficulty rose. Now I have an 80 of each class, all on their way to full Hero track gear. That's enough for me with my current play style, until I need (or want) to farm Gilded crests.

    Thanks for this Zouty. I’ve been playing solo pretty much my whole time in Wow since 2005. It’s great in this expansion that solo play is being respected much more. I have been able to get all my gear to a level equivalent to the HC raid just from doing delves. And in a few weeks will be able to push up the level to get a mythic tier set appearance for the first time ever. And the warlock mythic set for this season is a really sweet one 😊.

    I've been playing wow on and off for years, in multiple different servers, and I'm always playing solo. I hate when people just zoom through stuff to grind and get to the end. It's like that famous saying, you gotta enjoy the fun in the journey, so yeah, you do you. I'll always be an advocate for going at your own pace, I myself have already the characters lvl 80 in the war within and haven't started raiding just because I don't really enjoy the process that much. Sometimes I just log in to explore and fly around and that's already fulfilling as a game experience for me, I love this game!

    • @itszouty
      @itszouty  หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      Absolutely, I am an advocate for that as well. Logging in and flying around is great too, I find myself doing that for awhile before I even attempt to look at my map or quests or anything. A lot of the time if you start one of my videos it's safe to say I've been doing that for at least a bit before I hit that record button lol.

    That Obsidian Worldbreaker mount is so cool! Congrats on all your awesome stuff lately, Zouty! I'm glad you're playing WoW however you want, even if that means being solo most of the time. I've been playing since 2009 when my best friend brought a WoW CD to school and was telling me all about how cool the game was. :) After she quit, I kept playing. I've only belonged to guilds about 3 years out of all 15 years playing WoW. It's like you said... when you play solo, you can go at your own pace, make mistakes, learn and just do whatever the heck you want. I love it. :)
    Do you know what you could do? Make another character on another server and join a guild over there. Then, when you want a break, you can go back to Faydd and play alone (or do it vice versa). I enjoy low-population servers so I play on the RP server Lightninghoof a lot. It's so quiet and peaceful and I don't have to fight for resources as much, or struggle to get World Quests done with 30 other people running around in the same area on top of you, lol. Have a nice week!!

      Thanks, I'm obsessed with getting new mounts they are one of the most fun things to collect imo. It's pretty cool to me that a friend got you into the game so long ago and you are still interested in it, shows how deep this game can go! Also, I do like your idea of making another character on another server! New characters are on my mind for sure, I'm approaching that time soon I think.

    This is the most solo friendly the game has ever been, especially with the introduction of delves which has been a fantastic addition for players like me who can't play while most others are online. My work schedule is primarily closing shifts, so it wouldn't be compatible with most raiding guilds. With more delves coming in 11.1 it's clearly a new major pillar in the game and I couldn't be happier about that.

  • @RossCourtright
    @RossCourtright หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    You can really easily choose your investment level this xpac. I got my AOTC by basically gearing up in a combination of delves and the normal raid-I never stepped foot in Mythic+, which was exactly my goal. Now that I’m done with my personal progression, I’m looking forward to dialing back and doing laid back solo content on my alts, which to me is the real bread and butter.

    • @itszouty
      @itszouty  หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    Been mostly solo for the past 18 years, not totally of course you have to group for some stuff but like you said I like to go at my own pace or go do something boring for 2 months or maybe not log on for a week. My view is you bought the game you play it like you want. I read a comment from a guy who played a rogue and stealthed the whole time and if another player saw him he would delete the toon and start over. I went to northrend as a lvl 25 rogue (the area was lvl 70 to 80 at the time) so I could fish up the riding turtle, so for like 3 months thats all I did. I had a buddy that played he actually got me to play but he mostly raided and I never raided so we almost never played together but you can always chat even if you aren't playing together.

  • @JulianaBlewett
    @JulianaBlewett หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    I have been doing mostly delves and I have heroics tier sets which is 616- 619. And with being able to start in dragonflight and do follower dungeons, you absolutely can solo everything. I went back to dragonflight content on my Hunter who wasn't as geared as she is now and did regular mythics. So yes. You absolutely do not need group content to do what you want to do except for raids.

  • @W.Isarnorix.D

    I've played off and on since Burning Crusade and I'd say 99.5% of that was as a Solo Player (outside of LFR).
    I'm so casual I got kicked out of a casual guild.
    This time around I was invited to a guild, began joining with alts then noticed the character that was initially invited had already been kicked out. Not due to inaction, due to silence.
    Do not sweat the gear grind, play at your own pace and eventually the "Gear Catch-Up" Patch will hit and everyone gets a good boost.
    There's so much older content you can steamroll Solo for Xmogs and mounts.

    When I was playing WoW there was 1 player who considered himself a pacifist..! Most people knew him/her and was a great source of amusement I even think at the time there was a TH-cam clip of him/her levelling his character by non violent means 😂 brilliant made everyone smile at the time.
    Yes solo is def doable and you have shown that by the dungeon runs you have been doing. That said as much as I enjoyed the world and I really did. I REALLY enjoyed interacting with other players. I joined a guild, disc and we had lots of laughs along the way. I there were a handful of marriages 😅 from game, there was definitely a few funerals! And whilst there’s something that brings out the good in people there’s also the occasional negative with accompanying fallouts guilds going under..the temptation of shiny loot 🥶and frustration. So there’s an argument for and against actually. Guess it all depends on who you encounter along the way. Some of the best times were raiding going all night to down the,last boss all working together fail after fail to eventually for someone to land the final blow and the boss goes down…everyone cheers!! Brilliant feeling 🎉👌
    Early game - a guild used to help their warlock on the final stage of the quest for the warlock class mount that took quite a while actually the last stage was effectively a raid! The warlock had to do a significant amount of pre-questing before even that stage. Similar for Crusaders .. Palladins! Guilds had to help them get the mounts it wasn’t possible to solo at all.
    Lots of arty for both actually so if you mix with a clan or other players there’s fun, good times and also drama ahead …invariably that’s gaming 😂 some of my best times were solo and some with my clan.

    I'm glad you've been having a good time with it and i think you've been doing it right. I've read a lot of posts on different sites saying how bad the new player exp is because of "fast leveling, missed lore, not learning class, toxic community...etc" and i think all those things are a problem especially with how toxic the community can be in regard to knowing dungeons and endgame content. But in that same regard I think it's also the veteran players fault for having that goal/expectation on their new friend, even with the leveling being fast they want to get their friend to the things they like to do at end game and that new player has no idea wtf is going on so, i'd say your way is a better way without putting pressure on those things and to take their time and they'll get to that endgame point eventually. also i'd say it's on the veteran players shoulders to help their friend learn their class . rant over.

    Ive been playing wow for a long time. The majority of that time has been solo/with 1-2 irl friends. I have achieved high lvl raiding and high lvl m+ solo. Its definitely very doable. The only time guilds/consistent raid group is needed is for pushing far into mythic raiding. Although you can usually get the first 1-3 or 4 mythic bosses in a pug. Retail wow is definitely built to make this a possibility. Classic wow on the other hand is very much built around guilds/raid groups. If you ever get the chance you should check out classic wow. Would make a cool video seeing the difference between the two

    I came back after what 11 years? Can't remember - I know I played at the end of Cata and half of WoD. I came from Evony, if anyone remembers that - not the Evony that it is now but, whatever. A bunch of us came from there and some had played Everquest etc. Needless to say, all the guys really wanted to do is raid and do dungeons. So, I did that with them. Some had played WoW before so kind of knew what was going on but I didn't and kept asking questions like .. who is Thrall? And who are these guys? And, what is going on here, lol. I think I drove them crazy but there you are. When I came back, I swore to myself that I will only play solo so I can see what the story is. And, not rush through stuff. If you really think about all the people that put this game together, well, I think they deserve that respect. The story line, the quest devs, the art folks, the back end with the servers, holy moley, it's really amazing when you think about it. All the little hidden easter eggs - I bet that team has fun. My hands don't work well anymore so I don't do raiding or really even dungeons anymore. I kind of like the delves because Bran sits me down and feeds me, lol. But really, my thing is questing. My son is in that business and I keep telling him, make Mom a true questing game, lol. So far, he isn't listening. Kids. Really, Zouty, take your time, it's YOUR game and don't feel pressured to do things that you don't want to do or don't feel you are ready for. My regret, if I have one from when I played before is that I felt rushed through the game. The guild I was in, was rising through the ranks and that pressure was on. Forty man/women raids, twice a week at night after work, and then some catch up stuff on Sundays. It was fun, at the time, but exhausting. I'm super enjoying the game now, much more than I did then. I do dislike the profession system now, however, lol. Enjoy your vids and your take on things, you make me laugh :)

    I'm all for solo content but there is a reason as to why its called an MMORPG. Not wanting or feeling like its a strain to interact with other people just seems like you wanted an open world game not an MMO. Would you recommend this to a friend? And why? I think that's what the gripe is boiled down to most of the players in WoW retail. Yes its okay and perfect to add in these new ways to play wow. But it's fundamentally disregarding what the game actually is.
