Alright, recent discussion has inspired me to work on a video about how to actually enjoy World of Warcraft. Maximising enjoyment while minimising time investment by dealing with the 'work' content efficiently so that you have more time for life.

I pretty much content that WoW is a 80:20 of work to fun, but that the 80 can be massively reduced through slightly lowering expectations & handling content efficiency.

I'm not being sarcastic or funny in the slightest when I say this: It blows my mind you want to play a game if you genuinely don't enjoy 80% of your time playing it. Why would you do this?

Oh, I don't. I take the best bits and leave. I see torrents of comments from people who seem to have driven themselves mad grinding into oblivion.

So I would contend that the best way to enjoy WoW is to not really give a fuck about AP and all that jazz too much, and instead on doing a relatively small amount of social content each week, and then spend the rest of the time on other games.

So in a world where Frostpunk, God of War, Uncharted, (million other games) exist, why on earth would I want to do grind world quests, or Expeditions, past the point where they feel old.

Why indeed? The idea that 80% of WoW is unfun is strange statement. If you spend 80% of your time repeating a task you don't need to on any game that would be the case. Like, Spiderman is 80% unfun if I spend 80% of it jumping on the spot, right?

80% by time spent, for players to maximally engage in all it's content. I genuinely think that WoW has very weak endgame world content, middling questing & that two of BfA's major additions, Expeditions & Warfronts, are pretty middling. I do however, still enjoy playing WoW...

So maybe your concept of what makes a good, engaging video game is actually wrong? All of these things that you consider mediocre and yet here you are, playing so often that you can make a living from it. Maybe it's not bad, you just don't understand what you want or enjoy?

Not so sure I've communicated my point clearly enough then: I know what parts oft the game I do and don't like, and have modified how I play WoW to suit that. I'm worried that many have not done that & are inadvertently self sabotaging.

I'm certainly in the "self sabotaging category". I don't enjoy world quests (without flying and/or legion style WQ group finder) but I spend 4ish hours per day doing them because I want to raid and level up the new races.

That's the problem : in order to do what Blizzard offers you that you like (play a new allied race for instance), you have to spend a lot of time doing chores like rep grinding and missions, and you burn out on these.
