I recently tried it again for a month but was immediately disapointed by the fact that I had to level up just to regain talents I already had 10 years ago ... wtf?
Also rare items from normal instances now seem to be "autogenerated" ... like there is a 10 different look items but they will have exactly the same stats with maybe one switched around. Seems very lazy and boring. Didn't renew after that.
If I ever have time and motivation to properly play an MMORPG again, I'll go back to EvE Online.
I mean... It would be weird if a level one character already has all of the spells and talents. If that were the case people would complain that levelling is boring
As for the items, what would you expect differently? Crazy items with new stats? Items with special effects that you're not gonna use because you'll switch it for a higher item in a few levels anyway?
Did you play classic or retail?
I wasn't talking about a new character. They basically squashed the level, taking away talents you already had and making you level up some more just to get back the same talents on that very character.
Doesn't need to be crazy, but some unique items with some attention to detail yeah. That's also how it used to be up until at least WotLK, even for low level items you would only use for a a few hours.
But now it's all you need to know is the item level armor type and slot and you know that this item will have exactly x stamina, y int and z of <3rd stat>. No matter where it's from.
The back slot is even more boring, they don't even make them class specific anymore. They just slap all the stats on them and just let them go to waste on some classes.
They are not even pretending anymore to put in any effort or attention to detail.
The standard game.
