    You are 100 % correct they neglected the world and focused on difficult raiding and awful incursions. Most people are here for nostalgia, they are not interested in that crap.
    This is not the classic plus that the fan base wanted.
    Its correct that the parsing situation put many people off, but blizzard did nothing to stop it.

    The solution to a successful SoD would have been so simple: People just wanted a classic + version, meaning maintain the classic feeling, fine tune the issues of classic with things such as mana issues / missing taunts / fix not viable specs and have new PvP and PvE content.
    SoD was a huge sucess during p1 because it felt very close to classic experience with very minor additions and improvements.
    However devs went further the wrong directions of adding too much new spells and new class playstyles that brought lot of unbalance and requires a lot of heavy maintenance that the current dev team cannot provide.

      You forgot to mention how one Dev was online on social media mocking people for not liking SoD, bitching about people bitching, blaming people for SoD being shit and just refused to take criticism seriously while trying to hide the fact that they were straight up talking shit to random people just because they were upset that those people simply didn't enjoy their work and would prefer actual Dev work being put into Cataclysm (because pre-patch Cata was fucked and then Cata launch was fucked too, there are still several bugs in Cata that have been claimed to have been fixed).

    To be fair, the only reason Phase 1 was so well received was because it was the usual "honeymoon" phase of a new game. That along with the leveling being 1-25 which was relatively quick and easy to achieve and it was around the commonly trodden beginner world is why people enjoyed it.

      Alt friendly. Fresh. Classic. Reworked Classes. Phase 1 was literally everything people wanted in the first part of a classic reboot. That and the prospect of the future changes/phase was a reason why peopled loved phase 1. The problem blizzard ALWAYS seems to have is content lasting too long, getting stale. Every real failure they have is due to stuff getting stale.

But they continued branching the other phases and leveling became slower, people tuned out to it. Even the runes where getting faster to be discovered. I recall Phase 1 runes lasted more than a week to discover and by the time Phase 3 happened I think not even a day or two passed by till every rune was discovered.
      The problem has always been a combination of the MMO honeymoon phase, the playerbase who super sweats and takes the fun out of the content and the devs themselves making big mistakes such as Nightmare Incursions.

    It's not exactly that nightmare incursions were bad imo... they were just too meta, and that killed everything else.
    I'm done with SoD because what I thought was going to be a celebration of the "fun" parts of WoW turned into a celebration of everything toxic about wow. 1st phase - me and my buddies usually had world buffs, if someone got pvped on the way to BFD we laughed a bit and still ran the dungeon... By phase 3, the world buffs were absolutely required, and if someone died on a boss they literally almost wanted to quit for the night and come back another night with fresh buffs... that's not fun to me.
    And to be fair - the raids were WAY EASIER with the world buffs and pots... so it's not even that it's the player's fault for wanting to be buffed.

    Part of my problem with SoD may just be a me thing. But it was pitched as seasonal. Most games that push "seasonal" means usually you see 2-3 seasons a year. So I kind of just didn't join in because me, personally, wasn't to interested in MMO seasonal content (like it just ends in a few months, etc). But what we really got was just a side tracked classic with changes. If they told me from the start I probably would have been in.
    What kept me away after I realized that it wasnt a traditional season type game was just wild up and down changes. This class is so OP now its scum, this class is so OP... and smash it down... these 4 classes need big help.. oh.. dont pay attention to them. It just had me kinda going meh.

    Hello!
    Nightmare’s Incursions were NOT a bad idea. They just provided too much incentive. If they provided good XP or good gold or only provided good benefits the first time one ran them, it would have been good and interesting new content. But because they provided the most XP and the most gold, folks chose to spam them. That caused the folks doing the spamming to no longer enjoy them, and the folks who didn’t do them immediately to feel bad for missing out on the gold.

    The devs just don't understand what the players want.
    Phase 1 was a banger because people felt it showed there was promise in the future, but they tried to template invention, you just can't do that.
    So every subsequent phase boils down to the same exact formule: XYZ rune added, one dungeon changed to be a raid - that you can grind on repeat for weeks, maybe one half working PVP event added.
    One word comes to mind: minimal effort.
    What the playerbase wants:
    New open world quests
    New open world events
    New areas on the map
    New open world bosses
    New dungeons/raids and interesting PVE content
    New PVP content
    Players want new systems and new content, not one system that will be repeated and slightly redesigned content that already existed.
    While personally I feel like out of any version of WoW my favorite class design and balance is cataclysm, and a lot of runes added to SoD are appropriate, just balancing a class and redesigning a dungeon and some formulaic open world event is something like a group of 3 devs on a private server would easily do. They should just hire guys from turtle wow and profit.

    You're correct about getting players out into the world but the level gating along with raids that have overtuned loot are what kept players out of the open world in the following phases. There was little to no reason to farm preraid bis for the next level band raid when the previous raid gear was your bis. If phase 4 doesnt encourage farming dungeons and open world for preraid bis then its going to be a raid logging adventure with a low playerbase.

    Each phase should have been 1 month, world buff should have been for all levels and not restricted and the fact that they wanted to make raids out of the "less visited" dungeons in vanilla just proves that they dont listen to the player base. People didnt go to Sunken Temple because they plain didnt like it.

    I think we all wanted to like it. We were in a honeymoon phase 1. As it wore down we realized all the things we didn't like. Most people wanted Classic, with more content. They turned SoD into, basically, a wrath or cata with subpar graphics. I like the idea of runes to get people out in the world, but they changed way too much and it didn't feel like vanilla classic anymore. At this point, just release a fresh classic. Keep SoD seasonal like SoM, let everyone xfer their toons, and be done with it.

    If you don't say that it takes more time to level to 50 than 25 everytime you said the raid logs have decreased in numbers as a statistic to evaluate the population, your opinion is invalid. I had 6 level 25s I have 1 level 50. But I am still one person who plays. But I cannot keep up with 6 characters at this point.

    • @nicholasmccune7949

      Leveling is literally the easiest part. Even without the discovery buff leveling a 2nd or 3rd Toon is going to be faster by knowing the routes better and knowing the quests more ect. But what u can't do is go back with your friends to get exalted for wsg doing the ashenvale event and have bis gear as soon as the phase drops. U can't feel that power spike of a new discovered rune because everyone is dungeon leveling until they can do incursions. So why would a paladin even bother to try the crusader strike rune quest to help him level when it's literally faster to run with groups get max level and then go solo farm the runes u don't have yet. Plus he'd have a mount so less traveling to level while at the end u get a mount to do all the world traveling for runes. With catch up gear waiting for u as soon as u max level. They didnt add a PVP event for P3 so after the world first race for the raid and then worlds fastest got done people have had nothing to do with their mains but help others catch up or reroll. They changed gearing so if u run 2 raids and don't have ur full armor set it's probably because ur trolling. Where as in phase 1 u could've done 25 raids seen the pants u needed 5 times always lost the roll so it kept u motivated to come back every reset. So now everyone's mains are bis, sitting on enough gold to probably gear themselves at 60 and buy the epic mounts. So we have all this help from blizzard to help level our new toons but we're all pissed because they added all these things but forgot to add something else to do at 50. So everyone power rushed to the same point and now no one knows what to do

    Here's what's wrong with season of discovery: it's still WoW. WoW used to be a great game, but over the years, the Dev team have been replaced, and the game has so much pointless content now that it becomes impossible to ignore the fact that every bit of current content will become pointless content in the next few months. None of it matters, and while the game has changed, nothing can distract you from the fact that it's all the same stuff you've been doing for 20 years, and none of it is actually novel, and Blizz keeps charging more for less.
    I played wow for 15 years, and the last 4 years of it killed my love of gaming. I didn't think I'd ever play another MMO until I found Mortal Online 2.

    ST was too hard then, fixed and then nerfed into the ground. With in a week. So what was a nice progression raid for a few week turned into a speed run with very little reward.
    As the weeks went by and the radio silence from the Devs stayed constant my guild slowly started dyeing.. till we could not fill a raid and friends just quit wow again..
    No hope and what was fun, just felt like a waste of time, with the constant "well it is just a seasonal server".
    maybe if they kept the hype about Kara crypts coming and being worked on.. but all we have is that it will be like classic 60, raids moved to 20 mans with maybe a hard mode? not much know about it really.. but MC again.

    SoD or Classic+ was about to extend the content and make more and NEW content. Not just reuse things. Making dungeons into raids ain't "new" content per say.
    I thought SoD would mean more new content. More new fresh dungeons like a new scarlet one, or that gate with the Timbermaw in Azshara zone and much more.
    The potential is there IF they would give it any love and resources behind it but they are making more money with Retail and it's monetization galore.
    SoD has about 6 months more to "live" but from this day to that, all we get is that Kara Crypt and just *maybe* scarlet raid they hinted.
    But all the work doing same raids we did in Classic 2019 and 6 months of work for just ONE more NEW content...yeah Aggrend really need to drink stronger coffee and look on the numbers in a different way. My guild is dead and even tho p4 is coming, people have lost their hype or willingness to play because of phase 3 BS. Some will return but guild is more or less dead anyway.
    EDIT: For P4 even with them giving us exp boost and do BRD/Scholomance etc, people will do the Feralas incursions to 60 so same bs as with P3. Taking the world out once again.
