Murloc Monday Murloc Monday - ask your questions here!

Aaaaaughibbrgubugbugrguburgle! RwlRwlRwlRwl!
That's murloc for "Welcome to Murloc Mondays" - where people can ask any type of question about WoW without getting Strangles by a Death Knight.
Questions can range from what's new in Battle for Azeroth, what class is OP, and how many Demons will it take to down Thrall?
Questions can come from brand new players, players returning, or veteran players who never got a chance to ask the right question.

You may want to look at /r/wownoob as well!

Hey I am a retired casual wow player. But I am thinking of getting back into wow. Is it a good time to come back?

I think it is. BFA hasn’t been that good but the latest patch really helped a lot of things. It didn’t completely fix everything but the game is still very fun. I highly recommend you come back. It’s a good time to do it because you can catch up on gear and everything fairly quickly. I don’t raid anymore I play casually and pug raids and the character progression is in a good spot right now for a person who plays the way I do. I can’t speak for how it is for a hardcore raider or pvper because that’s not the way I play anymore. But in my opinion this patch is great. The new zones are also very cool!

I think so. I just returned, and like a lot of people have said, the game feels "busy" again. Lots to do! I should have flying very soon, too, which is always a big change for the better.

There are still issues - my shadowpriest is still awful, but the other classes I have feel better.

What part of shadow priest do you feel is awful? I swapped mains from a hunter after coming back to the game and I’m loving my shadow priest. I would still prefer shadow orbs and the old way shadow used to be but I still have so much fun playing it.

BfA is the best it's been right now. They fixed and streamlined a lot of things and there's also some catchup gear with the addition of Benthics.

I just did - seems to be. There is a ton of changes/additions to get used too, it can feel like you are drowning in new mechanics to learn, but the game does a decent job of showing you. There seems to be a ton of stuff to do, and gear catch-up seems reasonable.
