[QUOTE="sillaris"] i hate games too where i NEED to have a group of 25people to get the best items. I dont like to depend on anyone or need a group to get anything done. Like EQ2 where its a group based game when i played 4 years ago, you had to have a group of 5 to do anything so if i jumped on at 3am and theres no one online = I cant play alone. Yea WoW has random dugeons now where you can Que in line and join a 5-10 player dungeon. they need 25 player ones too Dan_Lero
Or you could join a guild = instant access. Besides, there's a raid finder where u can list yourself as looking for a raid and the most commonly used is the trade channel which always has people readying a group or looking for one.

Even in a guild you still depend on other people and most guilds that can actually clear raids already have preset raiding times and active rosters that you have to get on to actually raid. I quit for the same reason. I got tired of having to wait around for others to actually be able to do something worthwhile.

Quit two hours before WotLK released and havent gone back since. I often feel the urge to play and wish I could pay for it but I think thats a good enough reason not to play...the simple fact that Id have to play cuz I pay would make it real bad. I love the game but was never really into it like some people. Never really did a raid. Did just like one or two instances. Mainly loved exploring and the AH. Other than that...was a good drug for a while...not too strong for me though.

Started playing in the Christmas of 2008 and quit in may 2009.Came back in January 2010 and left in may 2010.Came back in September 2010 and Pre-Ordered Cataclysm and now I can't wait!

But I couldn't agree more with the 'Hate playing a game based on other peoples time schedules'.Sometimes this game is worth it sometimes it isn't

But right now it feels good.

I played a lot during vanilla wow and even BC. But quit a bit before wotlk came out. Started up a couple more times but have never had as much fun with it as I did with vanilla wow. Just started a few days ago but quit again due to the extreme level of boredom I get from it compared to other games and activities.

The Problem with WoW is that you can't just stop playing when something important come up because other real people are depending on you. You also have a reputation on your server/guild. For instance, you're in a middle of raid when a friend calls. They want to hang out; in a normal video game you can just quit and leave. In WoW, its not easy. You can't just dissapear, it doesn't work like that. This is why WoW is considered more addictive than your average video game. To answer your question, I quit long ago.

That can be said for any MMO really.

I've never been nearly into the game as much as some people. I tried it roughly when it first came out, and played it for like.. two days. It seemed pretty fun then, but I just never felt like logging back on after that.

I tried it another time just playing with a friend to 60, but.. stopped again. Tried it a THIRD time with Cata, and this time I got up to 70-something, but then got tired of the quest-grabbing and dungeon queuing.

The game is really not *my* idea of a good MMO. I know a lot of people like that style, and that's cool.. but I prefer the whole open world thing, exploration, grouping up with players and such. So I just went back to EQ :)

I played and quit with private servers. I started doing PVE for a few months to get a hang of the game. It was mostly BG/Arena servers from there, PVP all day.

2007-2008 Toxic, Wowscape, WoM

2010-June 2010 Wowlegacy

Enjoyed my time playing immensely. PVP, that's the best thing about WoW, or online gaming, really. But I don't think I'd be going back again.

Quit several years ago...WOW does not compare to some of the amazing games out there. I think a lot of WOW players are really missing out.

Quite the contrary..I believe the WoW Battlegrounds/Arenas PvP far surpasses anything out there. It's all you can ask for from a MMORPG.

PvP when the honor system was just introduced was much, much better than the organized PvP that is used now in WoW. PvP servers were actually the real battlegrounds where it was kill or be killed.

Yes, perhaps you cant ask more from an MMORPG. But there are far better games out there in other genres to play than a button clicking rock, paper, scissors game that is MMORPG PvP..

the_ChEeSe_mAn2

Yeah, those PVP servers were great. I remember those 40 man raids into cities. Simply a blast.

I don't know about the situation now, though. I mainly only played during patches 2.4 and 3.3 during my stint.

bonafidetk

I was mostly referring to PVP in online games, not games in general, my bad. But I don't think you can justify calling it rock paper scissors. There were like 10 classes and like 30 builds, each able to dominate in its own right.

I have been playing on and off since 2005. Finally quit at the end of 2009. I had my fun with the game, but I lost my purpose with the game. I originally got into it because I loved the Warcraft lore, and wanted a continuation of it through WoW. But endless grinding (which was really endless because as soon as you nabbed some high level gear from the new content, they release a new patch and all your hard work was for naught), generally unfriendly player base, and of course the time commitment, finally drove me to pull the plug once and for all.

You ought to as well.

Heh, that's why you skip all the grinding and go straight to the good stuff: pvp.

I quit when Wrath of the casuals came out. Before then I got rank 1 on Vengeance bg as a druid running druid /warrior in 2s in season 3 and getting glad in s1, s2 and s4. As well as clearing all PVE content from vanilla to end of BC, was resto in vanilla and was bear tank in BC.

Waste of time since blizz is recycling content now LOL.

I quit once I got to 85 and the grind commenced. The new content was fun, but I blew through it in only a few weeks.

Yeah, I take breaks from WoW quite often actually. My last break was about 8 months long; I hopped back on when Cataclysm came out, and played until about a week ago, but now I am done. Cataclysm was excellent but it lacked the longevity of previous installments.

I never played retail WoW but I got caught up in the private server WoW. There is a huge community of players there on certain servers. In my time I played on WoWscape, Magic-WoW, WoWlegacy, & more recently Molten-Wow. I tried the 10 day free trial of retail WoW and I couldn't handle the slow paced nature of normal leveling. Anyways I put in prob close to 50 days worth of "/played" time if you were to add up all of my characters across those servers. I think now I've finally got tired of playing that game. Honestly every expansion is just another grinding session and it took me WOTLK to finally see it. Haha.

A LOT of people seem to be migrating from WOW and Aion to Rift. And by "a lot" I mean that all the servers are already completely full 3 days before release and ONLY by people that preordered and have access to the Head Start. Yes, it is that good.

I quit WoW not because I wanted to, but because I had no choice considering each time my computer crashed (twice!). Haven't played WoW since Dec '09 and I don't plan on going back. I'll be more careful with Rift though, lol.

Played the trail, didn't like the simplisity of the game (after playing tactical Guild Wars) Besides, you can get the same game for free - it's called Allods Online
