WoW Needs a Revolution: 'Reset It Like FFXIV,' Demands Popular Youtuber
World of Warcraft is a content-rich game; however, not everyone likes the abundance of Blizzard's MMO. Popular streamer Asmongold says the game could use a complete reset.
World of Warcraft needs a major overhaul - at least that's according to top streamer and youtuber Asmongold, known for broadcasting Blizzard's MMORPG. The creator recently stated that he is "tired" of the current shape of the game and ideally if could use a reset similar to the one carried out in Final Fantasy XIV Online at a time.
WoW has become "tired"
Asmongold believes, that the current form of WoW is far too complicated - by the multitude of mechanics and items that have been constantly added to the game over the years.
"I took a break from WoW. And it's not that I hate it. I just didn't feel a reason to play. I think the game needs a reset, like Realm Reborn.

Remove all mounts, pets, toys, etc. Delete everything! Get rid of a game that has 15 years of FOMO [fear of missing out - editor's note], which makes people [new players - editor's note] not want to play it now [...].
[...]
For me, this game has become too complicated. You move into battle and the opponent has, for example, 20 "debuffs" or "buffs" to start."
As an example, the youtuber presented an excerpt from a battle in which a single player had twelve effects on him:
Well, the problem clearly exists, and certainly Asmongold is quite right, especially in the aspect of new players being repulsed by the overabundance of content that WoW got to carry over nearly two decades of development. Of course, players have an alternative in the form of WoW Classic, which restores the game world to what it was years ago, but this solution is not as radical as it might seem. Besides, not everything is perfect here either.
