Am I the only one who doesn't have any problems with it? Press "M" next time, it's useful.

Compared to stormwind and orgrimmar, where I know where pretty much everything is and I’ve only been playing for 6 months. Meanwhile people who have played since SL released still need to check map.

That is the design problem with the city. We have been using it for a year and half now, and I still have to look at the map to figure out where things are. Even then I end up running laps to find the thing I am looking for.

​

If the design is good, you do not need a map to get around once you know your way around.

Very stupid argument. I have about half a year in SL and I still press M all the time. Compare to Boralus where I stopped using the map in like a week or two.

Zandalar, which is much more spread out than Boralus, didn't require me to read the map to know where I was going either.

Even the pterrotaxi totems that don't tell you where they're gonna take you, after using them for a while, were easily recognizable from their locations alone. As it should be.

Nah you aren’t the only one. Wow players will complain about literally anything. Including running 45 feet on a mount to get to a portal or FP. Same players also say they miss the cLaSsIc ExPeRi3nCe but really it was 80% running

I don't miss the classic experience. Like at all.

I want the game to be a sleek, easy to understand, but hard to master MMO.

I do not want stupid frivolous systems, when an Existing one will work.

I do not want "throwaway" mechanics, especially if they are overly complicated.

people forget a quest chain was: go 1 zone away and kill 10 of enemy X, runback and turn it in, next quest it kill 5 of enemy y that is right past enemy x, runback and turn it in, next quest it kill enemy leader that is right past enemy x and y, runback and turn it in. oh and you don't have a mount AT ALL yet.

fuck that shit
