There is so much about WoW that I enjoy but it has an odd effect on me. I find that I want to play WoW but when I load up the game there is nothing in game that I want to do. I like adventures, story, gearing up, becoming proficient in my class, PvP. All the things that WoW generally has a finite amount of.
The end game of WoW is generally raiding and mythic+ dungeons. Both of which delve into a multiplayer aspect of the game that I find very off-putting.
For raiding: I dislike the idea that my time is seemingly wasted in an effort to potentially obtain loot. Additionally, the personalities of raiding groups is incredibly hit or miss with many more misses than hits. Playing with other players is often insufferable in this sphere. Then there is the possibility of continued failure towards an objective with only very minimal rewards. I find that I never do raids except for the easiest and most accessible way "LFR" (looking for raid). This is often pointed to as one of the prime examples of the ways that WoW has fallen off the deep-end of gameplay and community. I have never once found LFR as anything except what it was made for: a way for players to work through raiding content and story without being too difficult.
Mythic+ dungeons touch on one of my most hated game developers tools: timed content. I hate time limits. Otherwise Mythic+ dungeons seem liked a form of content that I would otherwise enjoy as I played a lot of Diablo and they have a similar approach.
The next expansion for WoW will have a piece of content called Torghast which is similar to Mythic+ but without the time limits and I'm very much looking forward to it.
Also, I can never settle on a single class to play. I wish there was a way for WoW to incorporate the FFXIV method of having a single character and the ability to switch classes. It won't happen, but I'd love it if it did.
VIQ - Vestige ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zz4jYzc7JOs )
Electronic, chill, not quite retro sounding but it's there. Certain parts are reminiscent of early Tycho to me.
Dash Berlin - Oceans (Rowald Steyn remix) ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R0ObodE7T1U )
This song is 2 minutes and 20 seconds long and I wish it was three times as long. Ultra chill remix of a trance artist.
Ultraspank - Where ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ybNDTIpu6XI )
Hadn't heard this band until very recently. This song has the rock/nu-metal early 2000's sound. The crunchy distorted slightly electronic sounding bass part just gets me good.
