And not just that, he's comparing valorant who's played by kids that use tweeter with wow that's played by 30+ yo with jobs and families like wtf? Sure Asmon, me, a 30 yo guy, when I have a couple of hours of time in the week to play videogames, instead of booting up WoW and ACTUALLY playing the game, I'll log into reddit to get some sweet as C-cer from all the brain dead posts... just to inflate the online people number so you can feel good about yourself, lol :))))

Using Reddit online users as a metric is the most crazy nonsense I think I've heard him say. By his logic FortniteBR is completely dead as there is only 262 users online on Reddit right now, D4 669, FFXIV 844, wow 1.2K. WoW is just not an interesting game to watch, that's why there isn't much buzz about it online outside of it's own community.

[@blahblahuserrandomnameblahb]

Hi Asmon, the missing titles are probably because some of those are character specific. Grand Marshal it says, "A character-specific Alliance title. Rewarded from an achievement. In the PvP Titles category. Added in World of Warcraft: Cataclysm." so I guess whatever character probably your main that you had played in Cataclysm should still have it unless there's a weird add-on glitch with your interface I saw you had some trouble with that too.

I thought LOTRO was great. More simple than WOW, but very immersive and lovely to look at and explore.

[@christianalanwilson434]

Most "new" MMOs seem to be rehashing the old MMO style anyway so it seems destined to be a dying genre, or at least a stagnant one. The age of the big MMO has passed... they're hard to make and just don't have the same appeal that they used to. But like the other commenter said, I have fun going back to play older MMOs like Lord of the Rings Online and City of Heroes again, most of which are still getting updated at least in small ways.

[@mzinkk9]

MOP was when I finally started playing WoW. I never intended to play it, I always figured it would be too much for me, I thought it was for super hardcore gaming nerds. I would get those little pop up ads like on facebook I think, the click to play ads for WoW, and I ignored them for a long time. But then I found out the game I wanted got delayed and I was getting impatient and bored and that little WoW ad kept taunting me every time I went on fb, so one day I finally clicked it. I figured eh I’ll just check it out for a short time to fill in til my other game gets released. Now here I am still playing 12 years later lol. Some veteran player basically took me under their wing and taught me how to play, guiding me through the game explaining everything. Not only how to play but lots of the lore, it was like having a WoW tour guide for my first few weeks of playing. Fond memories, I wonder if that guy still plays.

Anyways back to the video 😂

[@hujiosnurgio2940]

Nice I also play now for some months and I am hype about the event

[@baltharaaz9847]

People didn't like the premise of the expansion more than the execution. They thought that "pandas are stupid and furry bait." Nowadays, MoP is often looked back upon as one of the best expansions they ever made: almost the whole package was great, and the class/spec design really stood out as arguably the best of all time. Personally, it's what I consider the best expansion. I'll admit I'm a Legion hater, but I'd still consider MoP the best expansion regardless.

[@baltharaaz9847]

​@1x1nDone Personally see them either skipping or speedrunning unfavorable expansions until they stop on a well accepted one? I don't think people want to play WoD, BFA, or SL classic. Could halt on MoP or Legion. Preferably MoP: better overall package imo.

[@yungtuna]

Retconing mop and wod is honestly a terrible idea. The thrall and garrosh story lines and some of the best that ever happened.

[@FellishBeast]

MoP is when the storytelling started to mature. Zack hates emotional depth. I agree the game needs way more testosterone than it currently has - Dragonflight was a tragedy for the tone of the game - but it’s okay to have reflect and have calm, introspective moments.

Watching Asmon go from someone that did high level content to constantly playing and achieving goals in WoW, to not being able to socket a gem in a piece of gear and less than 5 seconds after spawning into the game starts complaining about the game, is hard to see. I think he's just getting old and is no longer enjoying world of warcraft, not because of it's current state but because he's grown out of gaming overall and his channel reflects it.
