Why do you like or hate Legion?
For me I am liking Legion a lot more now than I was in the beginning due to after hitting 110 on my new main hunter Azerothwolf and having Titanstrike with Hati I went into Ulduar last night and came two bosses away from a full solo clear on 10 player only thing was Yogg holding me back he kept draining my sanity and no matter how many things I killed he got me mad so I quit. But I also went into 10 normal Firelands and wiped it clear all bosses it was great seeing Hati help me kill them even Shannox fell to my Hati.
Legion has its good and bad moments but being able to finally do what many have been doing for years feels great I can now join the rat race for those mounts.
EDIT to add another thing I am liking about Legion is the appearance tab before this if we wanted a set of armor or a sweet weapon we had to farm constantly on that one character and hope RNG was kind. Having the tab meant even if my main hunter didn't get the full Rift Stalker set in one go I could throw my alts in the Eye and SSC for those tokens knowing they have to drop on at least my alts.

Re: Why do you like or hate Legion?
I'm not really sure how to adequately summarize it. I have loved every moment honestly. The story lines, the zones, the nods to Northrend especially. ELVES instead of orcs! <333 Suramar and the Nightfallen campaign were incredible. There's always something to do, and I know some people feel overwhelmed by it but to me it's wonderful. I always feel like I have something I can be working toward, and if I don't feel like doing it yet, I know it's there for later. Just take it at your own pace.
Despite all the doom and gloom surrounding hunters before Legion arrived, BM has been absolutely amazing and I love my spec so much. It feels great, it performs great, and I'm having a ton of fun playing it.
I love the order halls, I love all the little quality of life improvements, I love the concept of world quests and how I can go out and see the world and not be stuck somewhere bored out of my mind.
I've actually been raiding, and doing a lot of mythic+ dungeons. My friend and I have been working hard because there's an artifact appearance I need for my RP character, and even though it felt daunting at first, we're getting there slowly but surely!
I don't know, this expansion has just been...really fantastic. I've fallen in love with the game again.
Re: Why do you like or hate Legion?
However I've loved the story lines, the majority of the quests, (though some have driven me nuts) the graphics are absolutely beautiful. The 'grinding' hasn't been as horrible and I've enjoyed the dungeons and raids save for one (eye of ashara). I really loved the Legion Invasions and I'm looking forward to those starting up again, even if they'll be more quest / scenario like than big area boss fights.
I am glad getting flight won't be as bad as it was in WoD. Getting to ride my own mounts on some flight paths is pretty nifty, and I've really loved several of the new mounts and beasts . ( still want to tame the unicorns dang it!)
Re: Why do you like or hate Legion?
On the dislike side, I think the class redesign has tainted the expansion quite badly. Not only because I think that the team failed to deliver a solid redesign on time (it seems to me that they were overwhelmed and it shows at so many levels) but I think the new design itself is poorly conceived, at least from the perspective of player enjoyment. I think the company owes an awful lot to the quest and world teams for creating such an enjoyable world, or the class changes would have driven an exodus far greater than Warlords. Also on the dislike side I feel that my crafting professions don't produce items that are worth wasting time on. The quests are great, the actual gear not so much. But given that gear is so easy to get from other sources it isn't anything game breaking, more just a shame.

Re: Why do you like or hate Legion?
What I DON'T like is the very heavy emphasis put on doing dungeons/raids. Almost all crafting recipes are dungeon/raid drops. Class hall quest lines require dungeons. Class quests require dungeons. Ending a zone requires a dungeon.
I don't like being forced to group with strangers to do things that MUST be done.
A bit of palindromic wisdom:
"Step on no pets!"
Casual player.. don't raid, don't PvP. Suffer from extreme altitis
I love pets - combat or non.

Doing the actual dungeons has been enjoyable. It's trying to deal with rude people that's been the major turn off.

Re: Why do you like or hate Legion?
Soul-crushing experiences with "rude" people in PUGs have turned me off completely to doing dungeons with strangers. And sadly, three of my in-game friends recently stopped playing.Talihawk wrote:Doing the actual dungeons has been enjoyable. It's trying to deal with rude people that's been the major turn off.
I've been spending more time doing old world content and levelling up lowby toons than in Legion.

The biggest downside I've found so far though, is how un-Alt friendly it is...

Re: Why do you like or hate Legion?
Unfortunately, I've nearly quit more times this expansion than any other in the past because of CRZ in current content (which flips the faction ratio on my PvP server (that I don't even want to be on except that you can't be guilded or raid mythic cross-server) from "significantly in my favour which makes it almost tolerable" to "exactly the same garbage I spent money to get away from back in Cataclysm"), the hunter changes (I am still not reconciled to the "new" BM, the loss of survival, and how marksmanship continues its twelve-year reign as the least fun you could ever have with a bow and arrows) and the changes to ffxGlow that went in when 7.0 went live (the mage invis effect that makes me super nauseous and is used in the "bat phase" of Tichondrius which means I get to ride the bench every time we do the fight on a difficulty higher than Normal). I've switched from a 6mo money-sub to game tokens for the past two months, and while I purchased a third, I may not end up using it if the invis thing isn't fixed by the time the account expires toward the end of February.
Or if I don't get the Love Rocket this year. Or both. We'll see how that goes; if Crown Chemical Co. truly is level-flexing and I can run all 50 characters (or as many as I end up having time for daily) through it for fifteen days, that will be both an extremely good thing and (if it doesn't pay off) an exceptionally awful thing, rofl.
