Dragonflight Season 1 Week 15: Patch, Goalposts and Feeling Done

This week brought another mini content patch, returning to the Forbidden Reach. Returning to the Forbidden Reach? I was never there to begin with!

Reached the last real goalpost this week, Wutteät went past 2k rating. And the air went out of the balloon after that. Keys I have done with both Wutteät and Esmënet have increasingly been prone to being bricked. Toxicity, especially during harder pug weeks like this, from people that dont seem to understand things that aren't big pulls = better parse increases. Enjoyment goes down.

Combine that with the fact that the m+ dungeon pools will be gone next season, so no real reason to stick around and learn a bit more. I played all the specs last expansion so alts (besides as profession dummies) has lost the appeal. Nearly my entire friends list has left the game, there were something like 8 times the people in closed D4 beta last weekend than on WoW, assume the ratio will be even higher this weekend.

I will not say "I am now quitting" but will be interesting to see how many more weeks of the season I will blog about, and how much I will do. I am going to try to take a break again, and try other stuff like Diablo 4 beta and some other escapism options out there.

I write this on march 23rd (a thursday) - so this will be the next statistic project here, how long will my season 1 Dragonflight break be compared to the Shadowlands and BFA "breaks"? :)

Wutteät reaching 2k score as the third of the three Season 1 characters, with a margin of 3 seconds...

Highest key completed this week, the first time this season it wasn't Dominator.
