I'm so glad I'm not using a questing addon in World of Warcraft: Forever

I am glad I am not using a questing addon in World of Warcraft: Forever. The game's quests are a bit of a hassle due to the outdated, pre-solved quest design from the early 2000s. However, this deliberate approach was meant to encourage exploration and immersion in the game world. As game design evolved, convenience took precedence, making questing feel like a chore.

While I appreciate the efficiency of optimisation and enjoy solving puzzles, I am glad I am not following the advice of speedrunners. Quest helping addons have been a point of contention since the game's launch, but I have chosen to avoid them for a more experiential approach. I have been actively looking for efficient ways to complete quests, but I have also occasionally abandoned the efficiency to explore far-flung areas.

Questing addons can be a paid service, but I have found that avoiding them has been the right choice for my personal enjoyment. I have had memorable adventures, such as completing the Fire Hardened Mail warrior questline, which took me to Razorfen Kraul in the Southern Barrens. While the quest was long and arduous, the experience was rewarding and memorable.

The experience of adventuring in WoW, being intentional about the journey, and interacting with other players has been more enjoyable than simply following a predefined path. I recommend unplugging from questing if you are feeling burnt out and embracing a more adventurous approach to the game.
