I find myself as a casual player on WoW. This, coupled with the fact that I don’t really want to learn classes and just absolutely spam so many buttons that I really don’t want to play, I don’t have time for that, but I do have time for is to just play the way I want, and I have been using add-ons to make one-button macros for years under the assumption that it’s allowed in the game, being that one button per physical click on a mouse or keyboard makes it OK. 

With that said, I love playing with a one-button macro and I don’t need to be top DPS in raids, mythic, or any other activity within the game. I mostly enjoy just playing alts when I get home from work. I used to play more, but I find that I don’t have time to play all day like I used to back in my high school days. That brings me to the topic of the one-button feature that Blizzard has added within the last patch, which was Patch 11.1.7 in June of 2025.

This week, I spent most of my time using the combat assistant in WoW, and I think it’s awesome. It lets me jump into the game with any of my characters without having to mess with complicated macros or spend hours learning a new class. Instead, I can just enjoy the class story and the fun of the game without worrying about complicated mechanics. It’s great to get right into the game, exploring WoW the way I like, without making it feel like work.

I stopped trying to be the best at raiding and never really cared about tough mythic dungeons. Since I started playing in 2011, I’ve loved being a casual player. WoW has always been a comforting game for me, one I can come back to anytime just to have fun and relax. I’m really glad Blizzard is adding new features for casual players, making the game easier and more fun without needing to spend hours on it. It’s all about having fun, exploring when I want, and enjoying the adventures the game offers.

I appreciate Blizzard’s focus on enhancing the game for casual players, rather than solely targeting the hardcore community with challenging mythic and raid difficulties that I can’t access due to time constraints.

I came across a blog post by Llinwood on warcraftsolo.com, which inspired me to share my experiences as a casual player and the activities I’ve engaged in over the past few years with my chosen play style.

Is there too much to do in WoW?
