In the build up to Legion's release I've loved being part of the invasions, being part of something big with everyone contributing to the effort. Much like the Gates of Ahn'Qiraj and the Isle of Quel'danas it made me feel as though I was part of the world and not the special snowflake that started somewhat with Cata and continued into Pandaria, WOD and now Legion want me to be.
There's a real dichotomy here and while I enjoy the storytelling mechanics that have evolved from Cata, I again am feeling less like part of a multiplayer world event and more like I'm in a single player game which in terms immersion gets broken as soon as you see every other player who is also supreme commander of the Horde or Alliance with their own special snowflake weapon.
So I'm wondering where other players stand on this issue, do you find the single player narrative immersion breaking and would you rather be part of the world rather than the focus of it.
Just curious. :)
