Do WoW players not read quests or care about lore?

Returning player here, last time I played was WoTLK and I've been doing a lot of catch up on lore since then. I've also read every quest so I can understand the story, even the side quests. I noticed most wow players don't care about story or lore they just take the quest, do the thing and turn it in.

Is this a thing or just my limited observation?

Do you guys find yourself not caring about quests dialogue and lore?

A pirate's life for me

Started a brand new 9.0 playthrough, first playthrough since 9.0 was released, and after all this time, I still think the Barbarossa is the prettiest ship in the game.

Why did Alex S1 execute here?

I was trying to do 2LP > 2LK > 2LP xx 323HK (crouching DP motion). This stick has a squircle gate so it's easy to overshoot, but still the motions don't add up to S1 to me. Can someone explain this?

DRMFTG 24mm First Impressions

I’ve been using this stick for a few days now . (Side note: I’m pretty sure "DRM" stands for Do Re Mi, that’s just my own suspicion. I tried looking it up and couldn't find anything official, but the musical notes on the logo point right to it). It features a jump switch toggle, which disables the lever's "Up" input and routes jump to a dedicated button instead. It’s entirely optional, so you can easily use traditional lever jumps if you prefer. As I understand it, this makes the controller tournament legal. Multiple competitors used this stick in EVO.

Out of the box, it came with a Sanwa JLF, which I swapped for a Sanjuks V3 Premium. I also initially swapped all the stock buttons for LED buttons, but the stock ones felt so goddamn good that I took the LEDs out and put the stock buttons right back in. In fact, I tried looking for a place to buy more of these buttons for my leverless, but they are nearly impossible to find in the U.S., Amazon Japan sells them, but they don't ship here. They might honestly be some of the best feeling buttons I've ever used.

The silver button on the bottom right is what I call the "palm button." It's a 24mm Sitong outfitted with a heavy, clicky Kailh Navy box switch to prevent accidental triggers. It's perfect for high-priority actions; for example, mapping Drive Impact here in Street Fighter 6 lets you slam your palm to react without lifting your fingers off the primary buttons or breaking hand positioning. As a nice bonus, the back panel is magnetic, making modding and internal access effortless.

A few quick practical notes:

  • You will need a converter if you plan to play on console.
  • They also manufacture a version of this layout with 30mm buttons.
  • The back panel is magnetically attached for super easy interior access.

Overall, this is a fantastic stick. It's fairly obscure in the States, and shipping costs can be steep, but it’s easy to see why it’s gained popularity in Japan.

Update:

Is this a good pad for Marvel Token?

I was thinking of buying a new pad for Marvel Tokon but I remembered I have this one. It has less than 5 hours of use, it's practically brand new but it's an older model. I can't remember when I bought but I've had it for a long time.

Fuudo's stick technician explains modding JLF in detail for SF6

I watched an interesting interview with Yasu, the arcade stick builder and technician who maintains and customizes Fuudo's Street Fighter arcade sticks. He's worked on Fuudo's hardware for years. It's very rare that we get in depth videos of pros talking about their sticks in detail so I thought I'd share this in case someone else was interested. The video has an English audio track if you click the cog wheel but I summarized the big take-aways from Fuudo's philosophy on Sanwa JLF modding for SF6.

One point I appreciated from the interview is that Yasu doesn't suggest everyone immediately modify their Sanwa. If you're already consistent with a stock JLF, there's nothing wrong with leaving it stock.

As for customization, his recommended order was:

  • Start with a larger actuator (try blue first, then red if you want an even shorter engage).
  • Next, experiment with gates. Although a circular gate is theoretically ideal for motion inputs, he still recommends a square gate for most players because diagonals; and therefore crouch blocking are much more consistent.
  • If you're using an OTTO setup, he likes the BYF rounded-square guide, since it smooths out quarter-circle motions while still giving reliable diagonal feedback.
  • After that, fine-tune spring tension, then worry about things like pivot material and lever top.

He also mentioned that Fuudo's current setup uses an OTTO V5 with a 12.5 mm actuator. They tested both 12 mm and 13 mm, but settled on 12.5 mm because 12 mm felt a little too conservative, while 13 mm started causing accidental inputs.

Overall, his advice was refreshingly simple: don't overcomplicate things. Start with a stock Sanwa, make one change at a time, and let your own consistency determine whether a modification is actually an improvement.

Another Great Beginner's Guide For Learning Stick

Hit the cogwheel at the bottom for English audio. It's an AI translation so it's not perfect but you get the gist of it.

Japanese players often use the modified wine grip. If you're new to it, notice how he gently guides the stick rather than squeezing it. The thumb helps finish the motion. For a quarter circle, listen for three clicks, let the lever return to neutral (the fourth click), then press the attack button.

Some useful tips:

  • Slow down your inputs if you're new.
  • Keep your hand relaxed. "Grip" is a bit misleading; instead you should be guiding the stick, not squeezing it.
  • Focus on clean, controlled repetitions. One perfect rep is worth more than a dozen sloppy ones.
  • Don't chase speed at first. Speed comes naturally from consistent, accurate practice.

DP shortcuts for stick (For Street Fighter 6 only, may or may not work in other games):

➡,↘,➡ + P (this is for a quick standing DP, works better on stick than leverless there are better SOCD versions for leverless, I'm not sure if this works on pad that well)

↘,⬇,↘ + P (this is for doing a DP while crouching, works great on leverless, unsure how well this works on pad)

DRMFTG vs KASSAI Fightstick

The KASSAI gets glowing reviews in every video I've watched, but I'm a bit worried it's packed with proprietary electronics and custom buttons, which could make long term maintenance a pain. I'm not 100% sure if that's actually the case, so if anyone owns one, I'd love to hear your thoughts on it.

On the other hand, the DRMFTG uses completely off the shelf components, has a modular design, just uses wired Sanwa parts to a PCB, and gives you a choice between a 30mm or 24mm layout. It also features a palm button, which apparently lets you slam your palm down to hit a Drive Impact without moving your fingers off the main layout. It seems like a super cool feature that I've never seen before, but unfortunately, most of the reviews for it are in Japanese.

The KASSAI is also cheaper, which is great considering its raving reviews.

It's really hard to compare these two based on reviews alone, because Western reviews tend to focus on hype and getting clicks, while the Japanese reviews are incredibly nitpicky about the actual craftsmanship on every little detail.
