$100 for stolen horse vagina models has nothing on thirty cents for a pair of shoes that let you jump high enough to crash the game.

I missed hella-chat but there's definitely a young lady (~23) in my grad program in the south who's from new england and says "hella" occasionally without a shred of irony, so I can confirm that this is in no way limited to norcal

Hope this update was helpful in solving the riddle

Pandaria still kind of seems like an april fools joke that someone said "lets go all the way and make it real"

WoW has a bunch of chinese players and they seem to like the pandas instead of find them insulting as hell, and Blizzard has been trying for years to make a version of the pandas that the Chinese government won't get mad about because those guys are so insane they think they own the copyright on an animal. They probably thought an expansion that directly panders to China would swell the userbase massively, instead it just made all the western players gently caress right off.

Apparently a lot of people dropped off during Cata but I don't see why, it was pretty good. I guess they were old players who were mad the content they grinded back in the day was just gone now.

Personally i couldn't tell you specifically why WoW is less interesting now than it used to be, by all standards it's a better put together game with less grind and less reused content. But boy is it boring.

They've streamlined WoW so much that there's really nothing left of it. I can't point to any one specific feature and say that specific thing was better when it was more frustrating, but the net effect of all those good changes has been to produce something that feels completely bland and lifeless.

There's a variety of reasons that Cata was a failure, such as the raiding content being tuned too difficult which alienated the more casual playerbase, then they undertuned the content and scared away the other half of the playerbase, and since they were renovating the 1-80 content there was noticeably less content at max level, but the biggest problem with Cata was the fact that it wasn't Wrath of the Lich King. Wotlk was when the endgame was the most accessible and had the best designed raiding content, they didn't make anything as good as Ulduar for years. The lich king storyline was the only one that people actually cared about, and its hard to make people give a poo poo about some dragon that most players haven't heard of.

The game has been on a natural decline and always will be, because who the gently caress wants to keep playing the same game for a decade? The raiding game is legitimately at the best its ever been, but its still the same gameplay.

This is what it comes down to. The game has been out forever and it's just a matter of losing relevance because most people who would be interested in playing it have. Only so many expansions can come out before even the the weirdest die-hard fans are ready for something else. Hell, I used to have a passionate hatred for the game and genre but it's hard to really give a poo poo about it anymore.
