Topic, who else is enjoying the new expansion for what it is?

Enjoying much more then wod for sure

How are you liking the artifacts and what do you think of the D3 style keystones for the mythic dungeons?

artifacts are gay seeing as it makes playing multiple specs hard

but mythic+ is cool

you can easily keep 2 specs kinda close
I like it, I always feels like I have something to do and everything is at least a little bit valuable with the extra AP I can get from almost any content
so far so good

Expansion?

Lol, should be just an update with new content instead of forcing the players to buy it.

Blizzard for ya right there.

i think its really funny

I feel like the D3 style Grift grind is more repetitive and mundane than the feeling of progressing through m+ to get better gear to compete in a wider variety of content. Where D3 is literally pushing leaderboards as the only end game where WoW is both rewarding in different mechanics in higher instances and feeling like there is more to do from getting to a higher level than D3 has as far as raiding, then heroic raiding *SOFT SPOILERS NEXT PATCH CONTENT*, then to the ultimate mythic raiding which nowadays apparently is going to gate specific lore. Not that I don't think WoW doesn't have the same "get better gear to do harder content to get better gear to do harder ect ect" but I guess personally lore and difference in mechanics plus the ultimate ability to do different content at a higher level for completing another type of content at a high level (dungeons vs raiding vs open world content ect) feels better. A little buzzed right now so take what I say with a grain of salt lol. Definitely only addresses a small portion of your OP but overall I like the expansion in many ways I suppose (most of my complaints have to do with grinding / RNG which as far as pushing content to it's max that is available doesn't seem like too big of a factor honestly.)

i think it's bullshit for people who likes to multiclass. like let me play the spec i want, the class i want, when i want..... sure lore and rpg is good, but don't make it take like 10 months to finish a spec. maybe a month at max.

That's it. I feel pushed into playing 1 char to be able to compete in arenas
