I quit my mage once people EXPECTED me to give them food and water and portals after a heroic. I'm not a **** vending machine. If I do play my mage it's only because my guild might want a dps instead of a healer or tank (rarely).

^- You can make tables with food now days. And there should be no problem for you to make a portal after a instace. And yes i have a mage :P.

I know, but regeants aren't free :P

And the people in my group were demanding it from me. I just told them to f off and ported out.

Well its up to you. Me i did it for the instance (table at the start) and portal at the end.

Looks like Blizzard is running out of ideas.

Was a good game pre-TBC, but I moved on a long time ago.

And you missed out on a great expansion in Wrath.....

[QUOTE="masterchief46"]

Well I know everyone saw the annoucement for the new expansion. My thought on this expansion is, it's going to be a smaller expansion, I love how they are revamping old Azeroth. I just don't think it's going to be a expansion like wrath. I think we might not even see emerald dream. Although there was just a tiny preview, I have concluded that we will, but blizzard is making it a suprise for a later date.

Comment on your thoughts, I am very intrested in what others have to say.

[QUOTE="Roland123_basic"] looks like **** RIP WOW.... its about time. the game sucks now.

thats what people say every expansion and every expansion the number of subscribers just increase.

[QUOTE="-Unreal-"]What race did you play before?-Unreal-

Human. :) Had an Undead War, and NE Hunter at 70 as well.

If its more like classic wow and less like wotlk, Ill try it out. Every xpac has gotten worse though, I doubt the trend will reverse.

Looks like it'll be a fun expansion, but I doubt I'll go back. You can only play a game so much before you can't stand it anymore, which myself and most of the people I played with over the years reached.

Well for PVP, mages need a few seconds to cast a spell, whereas melee can do the same amount of damage with instant attacks. Considering how squishy mages are we should be able to deal a lot more damage.

For PVE, a mage can still do decent damage, but there are so many fights that involve a lot of movement that there's not a lot of reason to not just bring melee. Add to that the fact that mages generally have the lowest HP in the game and there's just not a good reason to bring one. I mean, nobody is going to miss that 41 INT buff when they have 20k mana pools. For now, if you want to be a cloth dps caster I'd roll a Warlock.

And there's so many fights that involve melee moving out, which means they need to run out of the way and then back, whereas a mage is a ranged class. And HP isn't a large issue in PvE. And mage dps is perfectly fine. I can post screenshots of recount next time I do a raid or 5-man with a mage beside me. All the classes right now can do damage, even my feral druid can put out a lot of damage now.

[QUOTE="-Unreal-"] Don't pay him much attention, his WoW character logged on today. I checked.-Unreal-

I'm going back for it. Worgan. Nuff said. Really, it looks good, but like others said, it will be small in content, but revamping the old world will make it great imo.

Very glad they are fixing up the old world so it's used more and has that 'new' smell. Flying mounts will be great. The races are boring and old and don't make much sense. Wish they would give something to the casuals like 1-3 player instances, epic quest lines that don't require a party of five, or pretty much anything that says 'hey, we know not everyone is a hardcore addict so we designed this for you'. A price cut, weekly rate, or even no rate would also help. I'm bored Bliz, you going to do anything about it? I think I'll be sticking with Borderlands for quite some time as they take the best parts of WoW and actually make it fun for either solo or with friends.Sins-of-Mosin

You know they've been doing casual crap since TBC, right...?

you know that the entire game is geared towards casuals now right? you can buy 4 pieces of your tier set with badges for crying out loud....Roland123_basic

Indeed. Purples are meaningless right now. They even removed the fun from BGs and almost every challenge from the bosses.

Just glad I left.

I have no doubt this expansion will attract a lot of people, but that was the worst trailer I've seen in my life. I mean Wow, it's more like a changelog from a patch that's been horribly blended together to form something they consider a trailer

Seriously Blizzard we don't want to hear about WoW, we want to hear SC2 and D3.

After I saw the trailer, I'll admit I was pretty happy. But after quitting this game 8months ago, (before that, quit around season2 BC), I was pretty convinced that all the glam and aesthetics the trailer brings, WoW is going to and endless Arena/Raid grind like it always is. Thats Blizzard's role, thats my 2cents, thats repetitiveness at its finest.

Looks like best expansion yet. Love the idea of 2 new races and lots of new class combinations. And Azeroth will be completely different.

i think it looks awesome, cant wait for the gankfest that will be flying in azeroth :P

The only thing that really makes me happy about this expansion is they are going back to redo the old zones of Azeroth and update them with better, more exciting quests that will progress the Warcraft story and who knows may even carry on through WC4. As for the new races, goblins are fine because we al knew they were going to do it eventually. Worgens I can deal with, but I really hope they change the model of the human part into something that we can distinguish from the regular Stormwind humans.

Blizzards' trying to milk every penny they can out of World of Warcraft. I think they should let the game die and develope a new MMO.

I think they are ruining the game and making it for scrubby casuals.

Wrath is a freaking joke with it's diffuculty a monkey can raid in Endgame now.

This expack they are taking away spellpower and mp5 spellpower was a huge factor in theroycrafting and made it so people needed to have a understanding of that to do max dps now it's just going to be press buttons to win.

I miss old BC pre nerf of Vashj and Kael man those were the times real players were known!
