Thank you for all your content DXM, I came for the rdruid content but I stayed for your personality. I like how analytical you are while still keeping a mellow and chill vibe. Genuinely wish you the best in your future man!
Sorry if this is going to be a longer comment but i feel like i need to share this: 1. Been following you for a while already as i'm a Druid by heart since WoW got released (i'm 31 now and my parents showed me the world of MMORPGs as soon as possible with Ragnarok Online and WoW, so i feel ya on that part). I must say that over the time i cared less about if you played Druid or not, i just had fun watching you play as the person you are and whenever it fits from the Timezones i love to keep your Stream going on in the Background while i play, cook or clean up. 2. You are still young babe! Go for it, do what makes you happy and if that means you need to change something in your life , then thats 100% fine as you can only learn from experience ♥ 3. About the whole WoW Situation: I do feel a bit like that too - the Trailer had me going all hyped up for 1-2 weeks and after that i was like ...meh i guess i'll just log in and start this new add on. I'm by far not in the Raider.io best list but i feel like i hit my maximum of what i can reach since DF. I always aim to be in the 0,1% M+ reach and i got there in DF but i also know that i won't make it much further than this, as i got a set group of friends i play with and 3 of them are hardly motivated to go for 0,1% but i love to play with them and that's when i have the most fun usually, so i won't push them much and just do whatever they prefer. BUT this Season i feel like something is missing - i have fun with them, yeah and im happy with where i stand with my healers but man when i log in, i wish i was doing something else 9 out of 10 times. Right now i'm playing more FFXIV, some chill multiplayer Steam games with friends and family and some solo games, which is honestly relaxing. I'm still logging in to WoW and i do my Vault Keys and i help the Guild/Friends with whatever they need but i lost much of the passion for it and only do it when i feel like it. I did hear from several people who feel like this, so i don't know if its something with the Game or if it's just pure coincidence and i just notice it more because i'm in the "meh" zone myself. As for me i guess it's because i'm working on my bachelors at the moment and i want to enjoy every minute of my life with people i like, as i got more than enough stress already, so i think twice about if i really wanna log in a game that i don't enjoy that much anymore. So i guess it's normal and just a part of growing as person and changing as person? 4. Thanks for all the nice WoW Content! I honestly enjoyed so much of it and your vibe is just on point *chefs kiss emote*. A whole different thing and maybe just i noticed it more because i'm one of the "AH GOTTA FIX MA HAIR" gurls: Your hair got so pretty over the time! i think the way it looks now is the best it ever has, not sure if it's because of the colour or if you sneak in some other products or special care for it. Even if we don't really know each other: feel hugged!♥
this is so sweet 😭 i appreciate u so much as far as the hair goes i legit havent done anything to it except bleach it and use some purple shampoo/conditioner every couple days thats legit it I swear
I'm sorry you feel this way - it's been great to find your resto druid content, but it's normal to want to take a break and explore other things. I think a lot of people have been there - I've taken a break from wow several times since cata, explored other games, focused on other projects, sometimes for over a year, but I keep coming back! Blizzard does a great job with polished content, hype and marketing. World of Warcraft is an amazing and special game, very fun with friends. It's good to focus on other things, real life is important, goals are important, balance is important. Try not to go too hard on one thing and get burnt out. I wish you all the best and hope you have fun!
If you really want to quit be careful not to slide back into playing out of habit, sentimentality, or the very human feeling of loss after you outgrow something. Whatever you decide to do, good luck and have fun.
Don't sweat it. I'm older than you, I didn't touch mop AT ALL because I went through a very similar feeling growing up, now in my 30s I have almost more fun with the game than my younger years. I mostly assign it to the fact I believe there are not many "good" games out there right now. you buy a game, finish it, whatever. When I balance and rotate WoW between my other hobbies is how I enjoy it most. I got the Queen Ansurek ring and also found out they changed pvp rewards! I got my elite weapons at 2100 and I had a blast so far this season. Just wanted to share my experience for the positive side, maybe wow will do a patch you like in the future. I was not excited to see Undermine personally.
its kinda funny they announce all that stuff the day that I decide to upload the video but i'll say, none of the announced changes really have me foaming at the mouth.
They've turned the game into a complete grind fest that no one actually has time for anymore. Also my guild completely failed me. The people who chose to tank and heal suddenly decided they aren't gonna do keys at all. So I've basically had to abandon my DPS and go heal/tank. There is no "making friends" as I work grave yard and have a random schedule, I can barely even play with the WoW friends I already have. if I can't play with my guild, I'll prolly unsub.
I dunno if its just because of the season, how awful this entire xpac and every patch is rolled out, or just real life issues taking priority but I've been just slowly logging on less. I think I logged in 3 days last week for a few hrs each, and up until TWW I would play about 6hrs a night. Its Wed night, and I've played about 2 hrs this week. The drop off has been huge.
I struggle to see your point of view. What exactly is bad about this game or xpac? I cant get enough of it!!! There is no enough free time in my life as to how much I want to spend playing this game, its great, zones are great, great story, raiding mithic+ I can barely ever remember anything thats not great. Delves is a biggest improvement I love it. I dont hovewer expect to feel in every xpac as I did in vanilla when I started playing, even though I was 52 lvl when TBC came out I remember everything and how great it was. Still I dont expect every expansion to have the same feel as it did back then. I go into it as if its a new game. And I enjoy the hell out of it every time.
@@mudza92 I'm a key pusher. I only play this game for M+. Nothing else is interesting to me or brings value to my enjoyment . The story , zones, the raid.. all mean little to nothing to me. So things like delves are fluff content. Delves weren't interesting to begin with and as soon as they weren't an efficient power gain I've not been back. What's wrong with the game is the constant bugs, something new and exciting is always broken. Their choice for class balance has been interesting . The dungeon pool doesn't feel very good this season . Did I mention the bugs that have been there since beta? The economy is shit, the gearing has been a slog with some awful choices . The crest system is bad design. A few of these things are usually true every season. This time around though the game just isn't fun enough to tough it out. Dunno why. Maybe I'm just burnt.
@@xXanderx87 I disagree with almost everything you said. But then again I play game for completely different reasons. Pushing keys is the least important thing in wow. Why would I push keys if I dont have fun doing it. Even roleplaying seems more fun than sweating my balls to push keys and achieve what? Be nervous and agitated half the time. As for the balance, for the hundredth time, there was never balance in this game, never will be. Impossible to achieve. Why so? Because at the top tier pve, a fraction of a percent means that class is either perform very well or its practically unplayable. Thats just how it is in competitive end game. As for the 90% of players, we dont even notice it, we dont care about 3% higher dps. I have fun pushing buttons and I really couldnt care loss do I hit for 2000k or 2.080k. Minmaxing drains the fun out of everything. In the end I achieve Most things top gamers achieve without ever noticing imbalance or thinking about it. I mean everyone does as they please, I just dont get it. If I was so unsatisfied with the game, I would never log in again, nor would I waste a single comment on it. But to each their own
@@mudza92 if you disagree then move along. You seem mad i don't enjoy wow like I used to. That's wierd . And as you said, to each their own. I never had any intention of asking your opinion on it.
Blizzard made a mistake ever since mop of turning wow into a fomo game, back in mists to legion it wasnt quite as egregious as it really only impacted specific things like the ahead of the curve mount, but as time went on it moved into other content, turning it into a seasonal grind fest and trying to soft diablofy wow, and turn it into this lootfarm mess. The thing to me that is just wrong is the temporary achievements, this should imho never have happened, wow shouldnt really be about some dude being the one that got something cool while it was there, it should always be there whenever you want something. Blizzard messed up hard, and its obvious they did, and I think they know that but no longer care to fix it. The end result imho is the mess we have, aggressively throwing content at you to do but making it limited time to give you this dopamine fear that if you dont do the content now, you miss out. This burns players out and ive hit a hard wall lately where even when doing celebration events im just... tired, very tired.
Sorry if I missed this portion of the video if you addressed it, but have you given any thought to playing Hardcore or some version of Classic? Might breathe some life into you. It definitely has for me as an old player.
I have tried classic and stuff. unfortunately the gameplay is completely lacking, and up until this point that is what kept me playing at all. Now that THAT'S failing me, i think I just dont enjoy the game I used to anymore. I wouldn't really enjoy doing anything else but keys, and I've known that for the past few years, but never really thought that would catch up with me. Now I'm here, without a real reason to continue convincing myself to play.
You're becoming an adult, that's all. The only reason i play wow is to de-stress at the end of the day. i'm a roofer and work hard. i have responsibilities. video games for an hour at the end of the day help.
I've been playing WoW with my friends since the TBC days. We've all quit and come back countless times, but *we always return*. Sure, WoW was infinitely better back then, but we still get excited for a new expansion-it’s our excuse to reunite and play together, even though we're now in our 30s, spread out across different cities and countries. It's a far cry from high school when we’d race to log in first. I get it, WoW feels dull now, and I get tired of M+ keys after snagging the mount in the first few weeks. There’s just no motivation to keep grinding the same repetitive content. Take a break, and I’ll see you in the next expansion-maybe!
im playing wow since 2.4.3. wow is not the same game anymore. thats why the make classic again, and again, and again. Retail is a bunch of incomplete ideas and bugs right now. the worst M+ in TWW.
that's a bummer i really liked your content. I'm sorry to see you go but I hope whatever you move on to brings you joy :)
ME TOO

The zones and music are cool though!

its weird because I dont really WANT to quit, but I feel i moreso just kinda have to, yknow. i want to enjoy the game, I just can't anymore atm

everyone ought to quit WoW after a couple of years
seeya in 5 years
WoW is so boring right now they redo the same formula over and over again, look at the next patch which will be a recycled forbidden reach
and they will be back, always btching
is that a challenge
You're becoming an adult, that's all. The only reason i play wow is to de-stress at the end of the day. i'm a roofer and work hard. i have responsibilities. video games for an hour at the end of the day help.
