Cata has had its ups and downs. the last raid instance was disappointing but this expansion had by far the hardest boss ever made ragnaros heroic. And many other things. Allthishate

-Unreal-

They already started milk people with sell mounts/pets for real money isn't that kinda FTP method?

Wait until GW2MonsieurX

They told me to wait for SW:TOR, Rift, TERA and many others I don't remember now. Truth is, that WoW will be a bad guy to take down.

Tbh, I love the Wow lore and seeing it go down like this makes me sad. It's one of the best games I've ever played. I hope that if Wow goes down, they replace it for a new Warcraft MMO.

Heroic Rag is really not avery difficult fight, it's just an execution fight. You really MUST get into Phase 4 with one meteor. WhilstSpine has some tough healing, hard DPS requirements, dispel duty, and a lot of stuff to tank and kite.

Alone in the Darkness would like to have a word with you.

Execution is much more fun than gear-checks are, in fact gear-checks aren't even fun at all.

I bet the same people saying Guild Wars 2 were saying it for Guild Wars 1 and all the other MMOs. You would think by now people would understand no MMO is taking out WoW.CanYouDiglt

I find it funny when people dog on WoW over **** like this. Yes, they finally dropped under 10 MILLION PAYING SUBSCRIBERS after how many years now?

Let me ask you all something, how many active subscribers would say, CoD have if it charged $15 a month to play? Or BF3? Or Skyrim?

WoW is able to maintain these numbers because quite frankly, it's the best made, maintained, and polished game on the market. The number of fallen competitors in the MMO genre, along with it's overwhelming success is a testament to this.

This number will easily skyrocket back up to the mid 10 millions once MoP is released, and GW2 fails yet again to make a significant dent in the MMO market.

lol DOWN to 9.1 mil. Damn WoW is popular as hell. Any other MMO loses 1.1 subs and the game is dead instantly.FPSfan1985

I hated healing that garbage, least fun healing I've ever had in the game. While HM Freya/Vezax (2 heals freya, 3 Vez, 10 (naxx gear)) were one of the most fun to heal.

Execution is much more fun than gear-checks are, in fact gear-checks aren't even fun at all.

Well back then 10 man raiding was not legitimate, so you had some undertuned fights. Though Firefighter/No Lights were probably correctly tuned.

] Sorry i dont understand how u can evn compare spine to rag . its not even comparable. Spine u need to have class stacking and chars with legendaries. u have 6 healers 1 to dispell. 2 tanks and 1 feral off tank that is kitty 95 percent of the time. U nuke the tenticle and thats about it kiting is nothing it comes down to practice. Rag u need to have 3 healers ( insane healing fight and its horrible for a rsto shaman ) u need to kite . make groups focus trigger explosions dodge stack wipe out fire. while the tank is getting batterd. not to mention at that time u only really had 2 legendaries while in spine u have 6-7 and 1 set of rogue legendaries not to mention the percentage buff. If u did rag on 10 heroic while this was in progression ( pre nerf ) it was faceroll for 10 man. for 25 man hc pre nerf when we killed it and got like world 100 or somthing stupid cuz it was that bloody hard it was by far the most painful hard boss ever made and that title was held by muru or to some extent litch kind (which we killed per nerf). Allthishate

I am refering to these fights pre-nerfs. H-Spine was so overtuned that 2-3 weeks into DS, you had Blizzard nerfing Tendon heatths, Corruption healths and Blood healths.

You wont be able to down the tendons along with the grips with 6 healers. Its such a hard dps requirement that you need healers that can dps ie Disc Priests/Resto Shamans and still put out heals. Again this is without the nerfs and the debuff.

Oh no, only 9.1 million players after what.....6 years.

Well, World of Warcraft has been the #1 most popular and most played online game since 2005. Didn't they peak 13 million monthly subscribers? anyways, they are still the most popular paid game of all time, only being surpassed by free games like Angrybird, Farmville and other facebook/flash crap.

Theres a new Battlechest retailing for $50 down here which will include Mists of Pandara with it and all past games.

That'll boost the users probaby

But that proves me point that fight was only a gear/class stacking check. it required no skill what so ever it was just practice practice practice and pray the tenticle does not grab your legendary range or legendary rogue. thats not hard thats just **** RNG and fail boss design your not supposed to need to stack 2 classes only on the other hand Ragnaros required tight dps checks (with less legendaries at the time) coordination, execution , skill and a whole lot of raid awareness with the amount o **** going on. not to mention dealing with the mini add transition phases where u needed to be on the ball. sorry but in summery spine was a class stacking legendary rng fest. while ragnaros was actually hard with things to do not even in the same ball park of difficulty once the 5 percent buff came we literally 1 shotted it. while we had 300 + tries on ragnaros and just got over the line nuff said really. Allthishate

But you can say that about any fight. Practice, Practice, Practice. Stack FOTM classes and gg. Also that Rag nerf was not a mere 5% nerf, it was a huge nerf, it reduced the second phase probably by an entire seed phase, greatly reducing difficulty.

I wouldn't be surprised if it goes back up to at least ten million after Pandaria hits.

i refuse to play this game

Bound to happen after having no new content for months and months, and with the ease of WoW content and speed of the players clearing new content patch in a week what did the devs expect?

Funny all say it is so easy yet blizz said very small % got to see endgame, thats why they invented LFR :P

About time this crap started to fizzle out.charizard1605

i would consider going back but i would have to buy the 2 expansion is didn't play plus the new one.

if they ever figure out a way i don't have to shell out a ton of money to go back i would probably take up playing it again.

[QUOTE="Kell_the_Gamer"]Maybe Diablo 3 is stealing some numbers because a lot of people just want to kill things with their friends, and would like to not pay a monthly fee to so it? :PInconsistancy
