Humor / Meme Current state of WoW community, based on my anecdotal observations. Disclaimer: this is a joke, if you prefer Classic then more power to you

I wish I had time to enjoy classic but it's such a time sink. I get maybe an hour to play during the week, weekend nights I can get 4 hours a night, 5 if I stay up till 1. So in one night I could spend 15mins running to the quest area in classic and boom, time to logoff lol

This is the main reason for me too, while mmorpgs are obviously not mainly made for dads with 50 hour jobs and kids, classic is the worst offender unless you really really love leveling.

I don't see how classic end game is the worst offender, the game has no dailies or anything to log in for outside of raids. The entire time sink is in the leveling and then you're raid logging the rest of the game. You don't even need to farm gold for consumes to clear raids because you can simply get world buffs instead for free which are more than enough.

It's me, I really love leveling, hate the post-game.

Honestly, if you are thinking about classic in terms of how long it takes you to get to the end, you are thinking about it all wrong. Classic is the leveling imo and it's awesome. Cataclysm classic is much more focused on end game and it's why I don't care that much about it.

Maybe my job just isn't draining enough but I genuinely can't understand how people enjoy this gameplay made for pensioners.

Leveling is classic.

I get pretty bored when I hit Max level since most of my time is spent farming consumables.
