World of Warcraft: Yay or Nay

So how many ppl here still play world of warcraft? i used to play it cause a bunch of my friends played it and it was fun. However, i've come to the conclusion that it's just a waste of time. countless hours grinding for stuff, countless hours travelling to new locations, and lack of skill is what i think about it. you're skill depends on the level you're at. lvl 34>lvl33. so, the more u play, the more u earn. i dislike games like that.

I think WoW is amazing that it's been soo long that the game has been released and it is still alive with a new expansion pack coming out soon. apparently the whole landscape is going to change, and water will look better. oooooooh ahhhhhhhhhh.

big deal, ppl need to wake up to the real world called earth. i can't beleive ppl r still playing this fantasy sim world crap who have years of game time built up.

not a fan of monthly fee games that never end

I dont because I dont want to buy a game and then have to pay a monthly subscription fee just to play it. That and I dont have the time necessary to sit down and play an MMO on a regular basis.

wow another WoW bashing from someone who clearly doesnt know what he is talking about. there is skill in WoW, a lvl 30 with skill can easily beat say a lvl 35 if they are not as good. Both PVP and PVE are not the simple, spam a couple of buttons and done, you need to know when to do certain thing at certain time otherwise you will die. PVE requires team work and there is such a great rewarding feeling when you are in a guild and defeat a raid boss that has taken some time to get use to the encounter. While Wrath of the Lich King was more easier on mistakes made but in The Burning Crusade, mistakes would cost you big time and it looks to be going that with in Cataclysm.

Cataclysm is drawing the hate I already see. Yay for WoW.

Yeah I don't get that I have to pay to buy the game then pay monthly to play plus pay for my internet connection. Then I have to spend hours grinding or going from place to place. No matter what you do the game will never end and i will have to keep on paying and playing. Call me crazy i like to play for as little or as much as I like I don't want to have to play or miss out on a item or event in a game.

I played it for 5 years till July of this year and I never intend on going back to the game. I wish you had a Meh option but since you are using this to see who plays WoW (currently) I shall have to vote Nay

Got sick of the game of course after so much time invested and the new expansion looked like crap to me so I bowed out

So you pretty much hate gaming in general?

it doesnt matter WoW will continue to grow, get more AAA scores, break sales records and of course haters gonna hate. playing wow is no different than playing any other video game.SamiRDuran

There are plenty of games you can't "beat", yet people still seem to enjoy them. For example, one can't really "beat" a FIFA game. Or Guitar Hero. Or Empire Total War. Or Wii Fit. Or countless other games that don't follow the typical "this is the end, congratulations" mark.

WoW isn't my cup of tea. But that doesn't make it crap. I know a few people who should take a break from WoW. That's all they talk about all day.

Still, its players are well-behaved compared to the legions of screaming brats who populate the CoD servers. Even my nephews got tired of them and went back to sports games.

big deal, ppl need to wake up to the real world called earth. i can't beleive ppl r still playing this fantasy sim world crap who have years of game time built up.

Would you care to let us know the type of games that you like?

i still enjoy the game but my kids and i don't spend much time on it anymore.

the past weeks i've been beta testing dc universe online,i love the characters,story and i've always been a huge fan of comics but the game itself is not that good.the ui is bad,i hate the targeting,watchtower is a nightmare,you can only have one hotbar,chat is worthless,some powersets are interesting but there is a huge lack of selectionand you can get max level in less than two weeks while only playing a couple hours a day.at max level i had skill and power points left because there is very little to pick from.the power combination feature is annoying and doesn't even work most of the time.city of heroes even back at release blows it away.but richard garriott was involved with city of heroes and most of what he does is pretty awesome.

While there's no 'end' to the game you can get to a point where theres really no reason to continue coming back other than to help your guild. At the level cap you're main goal is to get top tier equipment but once you have that you basically have nothing more to do other than pop in once a week for arena, start a new character or wait for the next expansion. That's why I quit.

WoW really isn't a bad game. Some people take it far too seriously(no other game have I seen all out fights over the silliest things), but otherwise it was a really fun game to play while leveling up for the first time. Once the game started getting repetetive though (running the same raids over and over, or starting a new character) the charm really wears off.

so, the more u play, the more u earn. i dislike games like that.

of course a level 30 wont beat a level 60, the cap there is too big, not just health but in stats and skills. having better gear does give you the advantage but if you dont know how to play your class then it really doesnt matter. again its not just about who can click faster but learning to adapt to different stituations. clearly you havent played the game, if you thing just having awesome gear and been able to click/push buttons faster, makes you a skill and are a good player.

"that it's just a waste of time" That mostly depends if your having fun, 11 million or so people find it enjoyable.

"Countless hours of grinding stuff" Most MMO's are more grindy than say a regular game, but say for example in BC2 I had to "grind" my way through unlocking all the weapons or stuff as you put it. I guess you have to ask yourself did you have fun doing it? I enjoy WoW just as much as I enjoy BC2, the thing about WoW though is that there is TON more content.

"countless hours travelling to new locations" Hmm last time I checked, this was be a good thing. People love content.

"you're skill depends on the level you're at. lvl 34>lvl33. so, the more u play, the more u earn. i dislike games like that." Really? You must dislike 99% of the games out there. Including FPS games Racing games, Action/Adventure games because all these games play like this...the more you play, the more you earn. I'am pretty sure in Dragon Age, Oblivion, Star Wars KotOR level 34>33>32>31>30.

"ppl need to wake up to the real world called earth" Oh and do what? Play in the real world of REACH? Or maybe planet Sera of Gears of War? Or drive my Lambo like everyone else in the world?

Edit: added another point.

I still play it and I can't wait for Cataclysm next week. Imo the major overhauls recently in WoW have made it feel fresh again and most importantly: more fun.

Yeah, not a fan of monthly fees..

I have 2 accounts active, and 7 80's, so YAY!

Nothing like WoW ....

It's one of the best games ever made.

Played it for a year and enjoyed it but then I quit for obvious reasons.

TC, you must not be a fan of too many games.

Used to play. Loved vanilla WoW though I never really did much, just 5-man runs for my Beaststalker set on my Hunter. In Burning Crusade, I made a Warlock and pretty much took up raiding. Saw all of SSC and TK, though guild drama caused the guild to fall apart just as we were going to start Hyjal. Overall, Burning Crusade was great. I bought Wrath, and that's when I just got completely sick of WoW. I don't know what happened between TBC and Wrath, but I just had no interest in raiding or PvP or really anything in Wrath. The zones bored me, the quests bored me and I pretty much just lost all drive to play, causing me to finally cancel my sub.

It's probably been about five months now without WoW and I'm not missing it at all. Even Cataclysm isn't doing much to rekindle my interest. It's looking rather "meh". I guess I'm just burnt out on WoW finally.

And about the whole "Warcrack" thing, I never really felt it. Personally, I was way more addicted to FFXI (My first MMO). If it weren't for friends, I wouldn't have even bought WotLK.

So the only game you play is Ninja Gaiden? Investing time into a few games instead of just one doesn't change the amount of time you wasted, even when you beat a game you're going to play others.

Also you don't need to put that much time into the game to get a level 80 and you don't need to do it all right away, you can play for an hour per day and work your way up to 80 if you wanted.

One of the best games ever made. It does have a lot of haters though.

Yay if played in moderation. I've played off and on since vanilla WoW. I tend to lose complete interest after a couple months and then start back up again months later once some changes or new content is added. Quit WotLK in July and will start back up once Cataclysm comes out next week!

Nay, i tried that thing for a couple of days, at first it was kind of fun, then it got incredible boring and dull, the missions were so repetitive and the leveling system was so slow, sure, it's obvious since you gonna need to keep paying and paying to gain more and more levels...again, it was so boring.

Nay :(

Thats impossible, Ninja Gaiden (Well number 2 at least) Requires you to "grind" to upgrade weapons. Remember he hates that!

Whining on the monthly fee is pretty retarded. Hell! Just look at everyone that pays for xbox live, paying for something that should be free is even more messed up. Not to mention I need to pay for **** both.
