So...World of Warcraft is my most hated game...

Level up games are just fun while actually levelling up.

After you max.. you raid, PK, take castles, w/e depending on the game, then you get bored and make alts.. just to feel the fun of levelling up.

After a while, you realize it's a completely waste of time. It's why I almost never play mmorpgs anymore, and stick to games in which i can always improve and not max out (fps games etc)

yes, I played for four months, got tired of the grinding, quit it.

lets just hope this thread dosent evolve into a flamewar, but when its about WoW, it usually evolves it to a flamewar, lets pray...

That is how I feel, I mean, it is like, you make 2 or 3 70's and you use one of them majority of the time, then you realize how much life you have wasted making your fictional characters stronger. Which is why I really want to get into CoD4, because you can level a character, not really gain anything, but still get good and stuff. Can't wait to get it, hehehe.

i love this game

Undead Warrior FTW

I have been playing WoW since it was released, I was like the 5th person on my server to hit 60, and like 20th to hit 70, and I recently noticed how boring, repetitive, and obnoxious the game and it's community is. I mean, it can be fun while raiding, but I noticed that I would sit in Orgrimmar for like 2 hours doing nothing, simply because I didn't want to do anything but play WoW. Anyone else here play this game for a long time then realize how much they hate it?nkroboturner

It took you that long to realize something? That's pretty pathetic, dude.

Never played it. Never will.

I don't see how you can hate a game before you play it! Unless your a fanboy of something else.

I never seen a sentence so beautiful, so full of truth, so full of love! :)

I always will be an unlimited level fans, although the form and the details can vary a lot (levels caps on zones, gear cap, stats cap, but open the cap in zone Y, under Z circumstance or whatever)...I am easy going. :P

Raiding is the probably most rewarding thing about WoW, sounds like most of the people in this thread haven't tried it. Having said that, by the time the burning crusade came, having to grind 1hour before each raid lost its magic. I quit after we cleared most of Karazhan.

As with any multiplayer game, the fun you have is directly linked to the people you play with. If you isolate yourself from proper guilds then I can see how you'd get bored of the game before you even hit 70.

Having said that, just because you didn't want to play in that way doesn't make your points invalid. Heck, I never wanted to play on a roleplay realm so it's not like I tried EVERYTHING either. Ultimately I had fun with WoW for about 12 months, which is way longer than I could say for other 'great' games like Crysis (about 1 week), The Witcher (about 2 weeks) etc. I bought about 3 other games whilst I was playing it, compared to the 2 per month I buy now so it saved me cash.

Enjoy it whilst it's fun, it's not meant to be the last game you ever buy, quit when you're bored.

You don't hate World of Warcraft otherwise you wouldn't have played it so long. You're doing what 95% of all World of Warcraft veterans do...misuse their vocabulary by saying they hate the game, rather when they're just bored of the game and are trying to blame it on the game instead of themselves.

I'd also love to see some proof of you being "one of the first to hit 60" since everyone says the same thing.

Raiding is the probably most rewarding thing about WoW, sounds like most of the people in this thread haven't tried it.

You have a right to enjoy raiding. You have a right to love it. But you have no right to try to enforce it on everyone else. I don't want to raid now, tomorrow, in a week, in a month, in a year or ever again in my life. I will never play any game which enforce raiding again. Be it done by Blizzard or any other company, if it enforce raiding, I don't buy it.

I actually stopped playing soon after hitting level 60. I did MC a couple times, but didn't enjoy it at all.

WoW kept me entertained for good six months. Even LOTRO entertained me for eight months though.

I never said you HAD to raid? Infact, if you read my post, I even said that 'just because you didnt want to play in that way, it doesnt make your point invalid' (or something very similar).

My point is fair though; Blizzard pushed the raiding content in the game quite heavily and it always got a huge chunk of the attention in additional content. It will always be the cornerstone of any traditional MMO - grouping really big amounts of players together to kill really hard bosses. Newer MMOs are hinting on a reliance on PvP for endgame content, but for all intents and purposes WoW is a traditional MMO (eq 'clone').

If you don't like it, that's fine, but playing a traditional MMO when you know you hate raiding, and then expecting the game to be brilliant is a bit silly... Not to say it CAN'T be fun if you don't raid, but your expectations are a little muddled up. I don't like racing games, so I don't buy them.

I personally have totally gone off raiding now, but it's raiding in general that I don't like, I don't hate the game in particular. I won't be playing any new MMOs in a hurry unless there's something different at the endgame.

I played for 2 years, then quit and felt free. Now i'm playing again, only doing 5 man's and avoiding guilds. I'll play for awhile and maybe quit when Conan comes out.

Wow, you got bored with a game after almost three years? Thats horrible. I mean to get done with a game after a couple weeks like 98% of the games out there is one thing, but to be bored with a game after three years? Shame on Blizzard for giving you thousands of hours of enjoyment.
