To the Silent Majority: A Veteran’s Ode to Playing WoW Your Own Way"
TLDR: Just an old player sharing his experience. No M+ push, no raid, just chill roleplay, mount and transmog farm. Best game I’ve played in my life so far. 32-year-old dude. Sub since Vanilla end (2006).
Hello r/wow :) After years of being part of the silent majority, I’ve decided to make this post. Why? I’ve seen so many posts from new players, veterans returning, and I thought I’d just share my experience and love for WoW.
I started WoW in high school, late 2006, a few months before BC’s release. I’m French and have played 100% of my time on EU servers (no idea if this testimony applies to other regions, but I assume so). I see countless posts on r/wownoob asking what to do, how to approach "endgame," with answers often steering people toward PUG M+ pushing (which is what it is right now)..., or finding a guild,. And for what it’s worth, I wanted to give my take.
WoW’s "endgame" is freedom. Why did you level a character to 80? Because you love the universe? Because mount collecting is your thing? Because you want to be the very best… (I won’t finish that line—Nintendo’s lawyers scare me). Want to explore Azeroth’s lore? Every zone’s story? Go for Lore Master. Obsessed with mounts? Go loot them a... (Sorry got a phone call from big N.) The "endgame" in the meta sense only exists if you want it to.
My in-game profile: I’ve mained tank since 2008—Blood DK until BFA, a brief Bear Druid phase, back to DK, and now Prot Pally since TWW. Best PvE achievement: Hightmaul Mythic (a few bosses, not full clear). It was fun but too much pressure, drama, and social upkeep.
My current main is 655 ilvl. My Rio score is 0. And I couldn’t care less.
I adore WoW. I love the time spent on my toons and alts (and I’m logged in a lot!). I farm professions, transmogs, mounts; I explore zones while roleplaying with friends, and we run delves together (for "meta" endgame content). I have zero interest in raiding or tryharding M+ pushes—and that’s okay. WoW is too rich, its world too vast, to be reduced to farming the same 8 dungeons or a single raid for months.
Disclaimer: I’ve got nothing against push players (raid or M+). It’s demanding, skill-intensive, and requires commitment I neither have nor want. I’m 32, subbed to WoW for almost 20 years (next year’s the milestone!). But not caring about M+ or raids doesn’t make me a "lesser" player—and even if it did, would it matter? I’m having a blast. I log in to enjoy evenings RPing in Westfall because my pally is a woman who grew up there.
We’re lucky to play in one of gaming’s richest high-fantasy universes. Don’t let anyone dictate how you should play. WoW is, at its core, a game. Isn’t fun the whole point? Read the novels, dive into the lore, roam dungeons and old zones, farm PvE/PvP, chase achievements. The answer to "I’m level 80, what now?" is simple: "Whatever you want!"
We’re playing WoW in an era where knowledge about classes, raids, or quests is a Google search away. Craft your own experience. You pay the sub—no one gets to define your playstyle. And WoW is one of those rare games that lets you play it a thousand different ways.
To everyone I’ve met IG and those I’ll meet in the years ahead: you’re awesome. Cherish this world we share. Few games have lore as deep as WoW’s. To the WoW community—old, new, and returning—thank you. Whether you’re pushing Cutting Edge or fishing in Elwynn Forest, you’re part of what makes this universe alive. Azeroth isn’t just a game; it’s a thousand stories waiting to be lived, a canvas for your adventures. So log in, wander, collect, conquer, or just be. The only rule? Play your way.
And to every champion of the Horde and Alliance, every lore nerd, mount hoarder, and RP enthusiast: For Azeroth—and for the joy of the game! 🏹⚔️✨

Please stop telling me what to pull
Venting:
I get it, really I do. You have Tank trauma in M+. But my god if I get into another group where a mage is constantly pinging packs, the hunter is pulling what they THINK I should pull, or the lowest dps complains about how slow it is… I’m going to go crazy.
You can see that I ++d this dungeon, I know my routes and %. Please have a little faith. Most of the time I’m not pulling more because YOU are the one that will fall over. (See: shredders in floodgate)
If anything your incessant pinging and whining just makes me want to leave. I won’t, but man it makes me want to. I’ll find another group in 30 seconds. I’ve left ONE key first this season.
Okay I’m done. I’m ready to be told I’m the problem.
EDIT: Since people are asking and I didn’t think about it when writing. This is on my old main/current alt. 2200io in +8 keys. I have an easy time ++ing 8s. Just farming crests/gearing up.

It’s insane how much weight lies on tanks and heals in M+
For context, I main a tank and I am exclusively pugging around 3k io. In some pulls and on some bosses I literally wipe the group if I misplay a global. I had to use a big cd in a smaller pack because I misplayed? Now I have to adapt the whole route on the fly. I have to look up routes externally (keystone guru, watching vods etc.) because I only see my own route. As I main a paladin I also have to make up for alle the missed kicks of my dps. And there is so much more.
Now I started playing my shadow priests for the first time in 4 years and pug some 10-12s. I literally only have to play my own game. I put the key in, wait for the tank to share a route, quickly make up when I use my cds (if even that) and I follow where the tank is going. I miss a kick? Too bad now I can’t help you for 45 seconds. I pop my cds too early or on the wrong pack? We lose a few seconds but we will be fine. The only hard part is building a group, but if you’re patient you almost always find a tank with highe rio than you that brings a friend on his twink. I gladly take them, as they know what they are doing. You can literally soft boost yourself as a dps player, which is impossible as a tank. Don’t get me wrong, I love the pressure and and love leading a group, but MAN it is a different game you guys play… the skill and most importantly the effort required to reach 3k on a dps is so much lower than it is on a tank/heal.
Edit: I don’t want to hate on dps players at all!Good dps players make a huge difference and tanking is not for everyone. I just haven’t played a dps in M+ in over 4 years and I feel like I am playing a different game.

Blizzard should turn Augmentation Evoker into a tank spec – here’s why
With the 11.1 nerfs, Augmentation has fallen off hard. Let’s be honest: barely anyone plays it now in serious content.
The core issue is this: support specs are almost impossible to balance. They’re either mandatory and distort the meta, or unviable and completely ignored. There’s no real in-between.
So what’s the solution? Make Augmentation a tank.
• Mail tank = fresh gameplay: Right now, all mail users are either DPS or healers. A mail-wearing tank would be awesome for class variety.
• Black dragonflight fantasy: We’re talking about a spec descended from Neltharion – the Earth-Warder himself. A big, hulking black dragon standing on the front lines, shielding allies with obsidian scales and tanking hits with sheer will? That’s peak thematic gameplay.
• Better design fit: The “augment your allies” theme could shift into a more personal, defensive angle – protecting allies by controlling the battlefield, reinforcing them with earth magic, shielding with draconic might.
Blizzard wanted a support spec, and it was a bold move – but it’s just not working. Instead of trying to fix a broken niche, let’s pivot to something that fits WoW better and gives us a unique, needed role.
Let Blizzard know: we want Black Dragon Tank. We want Augmentation to evolve!

We have 1 rule: If a feral turns up in group search, we inv him
A bit of background: Mained a feral around shadowlands, since then ive played shadow, rogue and now elem shaman. Me and a mate are around 3k io currently finishing the rest of our 13's.
Weve been sticking to this since DF, hundreds of m+ runs and i can count the number of "bad" ferals ive played with on 1 hand.
Point of the story? Give Non meta classes a chance, you might be suprised!

WUT? Mechagon flame turret turned and agro'd me??
Check this clip. I was on the conveyer belt in a Mechagon +14, and the flame turret turned and agro'd me, then proceeded to reset to its normal position like it never happened...
