• • WoTLK is not what Blizzard announced

  • well put and they have gotten fairly close tho they really should have made 25 mans in wrath much much harder to cater more towards the hardcore raiders.

    Funny how people equate numbers with quality. Billions of flies like shit, so shit must be good yeah???

    WoW is a quality product, but it's designed to please the crowd. If you're looking for a niche game with a close-knit community you wont find it in WoW.

    Most people in WoW only think about their own advancement and enjoyment of the game, giving no thought at all to anyone else, except when they need them to further advance themselfes. Just look at how new players are treated. I was sickened for a while when I still played WoW with the way the newb was treated by the general community. The community in WoW is, to put it blunt, full of self-centered pricks who would like nothing more than to walk all over you to get whatever shiny carrot Blizzard dangle infront of them, My suggestion, and method to avoid them is to turn off public chat channels and only group with guildies and real life friends. Sadly, that put me in the same category as the rest of the community and in the long run, didn't solve anything.

    The economy is out of whack. When people charge 1000's of golds for mediocre items that only require some grind to get you know something is wrong. Saw a blue twink dagger just before I quit the game sell for over 10k gold Goldsellers and their buyers run rampant in WoW and it feels like Blizzard don't do squat to remove them from the game. Sure, you get the occasional massban but it been quite a while since last Blizzard had one of those.

    WoW's pvp is WoW's pvp. It's made for the general public aswell. It's a meaningless grind to get shiny's. Some people praise it's pvp, the battlegrounds and arena's, calling them hardcore and epic. This is bollocks as you can afk gain pvp epics, and lots of people do just that. You don't even have to pvp to get them as in the Arenas you start with 1500 points to spend on shinys and its so easy to exploit to get those epics it's laughable.

    The problem with WoW is that it's way too item-centric. Another problem with WoW, and that one bleeds into other games as well, is it's community. As a mmorpg player from the Anarchy Online days I feel like the general mmo public become more and more immature and disrespectful.

    Oh well, despite all that I managed to survive 3 years in WoW, but through those 3 years I had quite a few breaks from the game and I doubt I managed to clock over 1000 hours in the game. I installed XFire to clock my gaming hours a few years back and have since then spent a little over 600 hours in WoW.

    To end this, WoW is a good game but I feel the OP is too biased and paint a picture perfect of that particular game. Criticism is always good.

    nah the OP pretty much nailed it and told it like it is. People who argue some points he made simply don't like that particular aspect of the game.

• • Anyone else feel like Wrath is too damn easy? Or just too damn boring? Maybe just me

  • ha i rolled dk and im 77 in a really badass raiding guild but im glad to see most other dk quit at around 65-70 don't need another rogue like population. But the game is alot easier but still just as time consuming and fun.
