Comic 929 - Something moved
Author Notes:
This past week I watch a interesting video from BellularGaming called "Azeroth has changed". In the video he does a fine job at discussing how the game has changed on a design philosophy over the expansions. I recommend watching this video as it's just fascinating.
But in the interest of what I'm going to be talking about today over these few pages I'll give some cliff notes.
1. Different: not good or bad just different
2. Older expansions where more about making a
world then putting content in it second.
3. New expansions are about content and world
second.
Really go watch the video for a better understanding of what he's talking about.
But now we know the points of what he BellularGaming talked about. The point I'm going talk about is how it's slightly bad for these new changes in WoW.

Old expansions had content that was strongly tied to story and lore. People complained about "not enough" content when in fact there was always a group of players that were skilled enough to consume anything faster than it could be developed. The content wasn't bad; it was really, really good in fact, but popular perception became that it was somehow lacking because a select few said it was lacking.
Those who are actually playing in Legion are now enjoying the benefit of that thinking: content running out the ear, more grinding than you can shake an AP soaked stick at, and a story that was cut and pasted around a mechanism designed for no other reason than to force people to play or else feel they are behind an artificial standard of playing.
