How do we salvage the MMORPG genre?

he's not wrong
it isn't social in the same sense as it was back in vanilla, but you pretty much have to talk in everything you join that isn't baby content

I joined 4 guilds since the release of BFA and they all died.

just play eve

Ok, so how about talking that doesn't involve someone barking orders? Because that isn't social, that's a second job

Bullshit. Every single piece of world content can be done alone. No, world bosses don't count when it gives you a button to press to join a group for the 5 seconds necessary to kill the boss. You can level from 1 to 120 without ever joining a group; it doesn't matter if you pull every pack you see, you'll survive. Even if you join a group and run a dungeon, the chances you'll ever actually communicate with anyone in that group is 1/100.

I joined two, the first disbanded after killing mekka (because we took way too long on it), the second after killing nzoth (because we took way too long on it)
I really liked the raid content in bfa, BoD and EP were great raids, but it doesn't seem to work. Hardcore raiding has been in decline since like cata at the latest and I'm not sure if it's an inherent problem, a design problem or a playerbase problem.

Make an animal race that is permanently marked for death by everyone else. PVP is only possible when hunting furries including furry on furry.

as someone who has raid lead for 9 years this speaks to me
99% of my job is to corral 19 other retards into shutting the fuck up, reading their abilities, staying up to date on their class, and understanding that if they put my dick in their mouth they will do better at the game

Fuck WoW
Fuck FFXIV
Fuck GW2
Fuck every modern MMO
Fuck instances
Fuck "looking for" tools
Fuck child races
Fuck the holy trinity
Fuck the skinner box design
Fuck trannies
Fuck jannies
and
Fuck niggers

there is no worthwhile content you do with the auto-group tool and you do talk in any other group

That fox... I kinda want to...

ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm hello

dangerously based

You're an asshole. All you have to do is make sure new people know what to do on each fight, and who their class leaders are so they can ask questions on how to get better

You don't need to make them silent and miserable because you are a cunt. WoW's raids have always been a joke, they are just gear checks and anyone with the right gear and the ability to move at the correct time. You can have constant chatter and clear raids. People not paying attention can die in every encounter and you can still easily clear raids

Stop being a no-fun asshole

Have you ever raid lead through mythic content with your average raider?
During raid = keep quiet and do what you're told
Outside of raid / during breaks = fun time

the internet has become less social imo
it's a lot more like real life, people stick to their own groups now and you have to talk over discord instead of just typing to some random fuck over msn or irc and keeping it that way until you really get to know each other
most people i meet dont even talk/type they just exist
the culture has changed but so has the people online

I'll save the MMO genre.

We don't, its a dead genre from a bygone era

Can you not fucking read? It's literally spelled out in the goddamn OP pic.

> Blow believes that according to WoW, the game's rules are its meaning of life. "The meaning of life in WoW is you're some schmo that doesn't have anything better to do than sit around pressing a button and killing imaginary monsters," he explained. "It doesn't matter if you're smart or how adept you are, it's just how much time you sink in. You don't need to do anything exceptional, you just need to run the treadmill like everyone else."

no, 99% of your raid is retarded and will forget a mechanic they've done a million times if it's not called

He wanted to play something fun, not read spreadsheets
