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...

...why? Well here's a line from my notes: "I don’t care about the progression systems at all. I hang out with friends, knock out some mythics or light arena. I don’t play WoW for a large number of hours a week, but it’s a meaningful and valuable part of my gaming diet."

I think that people are very susceptible to being damaged by systems without nothing, and my goal is to reinforce that you can minimise the weaker parts of WoW, focus on the best bits (socials!) and free up more from for a varied gaming life.

This is how I play WoW since cataclysm. Everytime I set goals for myself, I reflect on what I have to do for it and if it is really worth the outcome. And I don't mean only aiming for Gladiator; I also mean "I gotta farm azerit!". A lot of people must relearn how to have fun.pic.twitter.com/nQp4vxCOEb
