WoW Ownz Your Soul.

[QUOTE="Fizzman"]

wow was good before blizzard bastardized it with its EZ mode content, and "hey you logged on here is an epic approach". The game was offically ruined about 3-4months into BC for me atleast, and i am so happy i quit, and was able to atleast earn back all the money i spent and then some on subscriptions. If anyone is considering to buy lich king and has never played before, but is looking for something that is somewhat challening then stay away from wow, and just play original EQ or Vanguard. Seriously though this game provides no challenge, and is meant for 9 year old kids who are all called legolas or legolazz or legolazzz

PS just to try and and some valdity to me statement i cleared sunwell aka lolwell before the massive nerfs, and got gladiator title 3 seasons. so i Thoroughly experienced wow, and feel i can make this statement.

WoW was at its peak before the expansion IMO.

i kinda agree with you, but i did enjoy leveling, and SSC/TK when it was originally out.

I'm just not a big fan of grinding.

As many have put it, WoW is a game that rewards quantity rather than quality - in terms of time invested.

Kickinurass

It's a lot less grind then it was before, it's a lot more casual now, it's really easy to get good gear now without wasting your life, ofc if you want to be the best your going to have to spend a lot of time playing.

That's good the hear. I respect the game for it's strengths - it does alot of things right. But it just isn't for me.

I haven't gotten around to trying Guild Wars, but what's your opinion of there gameplay mechanics?

Haven't read through rest of the thread, so in case someone has answered this sorry.

Guild Wars is pretty much dead in terms of updates. You can buy the game, but don't expect many people doing anything but the hardcore areas and some pvp, as the rest of the community has pretty much died off because of the lack of updates untill guild wars 2.

Honestly, you'd be better off with Wow's gameplay.

I have a lvl 70 character.

WoW requires very little skill and therefore is not the game for me.

That said, it is a great game for people who enjoy RPGs.

I don't hate on WoW, I just know that I could play 50 other really good games in the time it would take me to get through WoW & I don't have to shell out monthly fees for it. Plus, although there is a huge following for MMO's, you just have to realize that it's not for everyone. Personally, the original Everquest just burned me out on them forever. ColoradoKindBud

BTW I dont play WoW anymore.

You complain about a monthly fee but yet talk about playing 50 other great games.

Lets do some math.

50(games) x 60(dollars) = 3,000$ not including tax

3,000$ / 15$(WoW monthly fee) = 200 (months of WoW)

200(months of WoW) / 12(months) = 16(years of wow)

in the end you will save more money by playing 1 addictive game that will last you years, rather than buying 3 new games a month.

I like WoW a lot, but i HATE leveling. That's why I don't want the expansion to come out haha.BobRea

Why do you hate leveling?

I hate Wow because of what it has done to Warcraft.

You can't ****in kill Illidan, and then make it seem like you'll kill Arthas.

[QUOTE="Englandfc1966"]I hate all games that require you to grind levels, why? because it's damn boring.shakmaster13

so by this logic you should hate diablo and fable and kotor, some of the most amazing gaming experiences

There is a difference. Games like Fable and KOTOR give you emotional incentive (As regards to the storyline) but MMO's are like the 'Just another face in the crowd' games and don't really give you that feeling that you are pivotal in the storyline of a game.

To some. And I doubt anyone, regardless of how much they like WoW, would play it for sixteen years straight without playing another game. :lol:

Why do you hate leveling?

I just can't stand it. Being 70 is cool, but all the time it takes to get there just sucks.

I love it, i've only been playing WoW since early this year but i've got 4 70's (all leveled the good ole fashion way) now, my lowest char is a 10 Warrior. :P

When you hit 70 its just a gear grind and that can get incredibly boring, especially with WotLK around the corner.

Thats not the point of the post. I don't think anyone will play WoW for 16 years. I was simply just pointing out the amount of money saved by playing WoW instead of buying games every month.

Omg, I have one 70 and I'm never leveling again. Gratz to you on your four 70's though, I just hated leveling so much that I'm never going to do it again.

Simply put...it's boring and too easy. Everybody is running around in epics they bought from vendors these days, and with every expansion pack Blizz releases, they make half of the content in their game obsolete.Choga

...while releasing better, more up to date content...

I play WoW and i play on my console too. :ocifru

Same as me. :o

We're such freaks. :cry:

I've played allot of MMO games over the years and find WoW to be a bit "cartoonie" and has a "training wheel" feel to it.

frankly, I think there are better MMORPGs out there that just don't have as much advertisement/users.

lol better the only good instance they ever made was Naxxramas, and they are rerelasing that into a raid which can be completed in under 2 hours, and 5 seconds after you hit 80.

I hadn't been answered, so your all good.

Too bad about Guild Wars though, I thought it sounded interesting. I'll give WoW another go one day. Just too much to do right now.

WoW sucks dude

I had been hearing from my friend for a few years now about the grandness of WoW. Last month I decided to give the free trial a shot, and boy I'm glad I did. It saved me the mistake of throwing away my money on the retail version. WoW is the definition of tedium, and I'm astounded as to how many people actually pay to play this game, especially at $14.99/month.

It's purely a profit model held up by superficial elements. What is the point? Is there an end to the story? Can I achieve resolution with my character in relation to that story? For me, without that connection the fun is sucked dry. Fight, level up, get new items, and run chores. Oh boy. People also just run around doing their own thing. There is no social cohesiveness from what I saw. Actually, most of the people I tried to talk to just ignored me or were outright plain rude. And I'm going to pay for this if I wish to continue?

I used to wonder why people loved WoW so much, and now after playing it I am even more confused. I can find numerous better ways to waste my money.

I hate Wow because of what it has done to Warcraft.

Wait why not? And maiev helps you kill illidan, so lets see the person who locked up him up plus 25 other heroes shouldn't be able to get him? Ha.

She was presumed dead, nothing was confirmed. She followed illidan to outland where he got the best of her and her fellow wardens thought her to be slain. In reality she was just imprisoned.

The warden article in Alliance Player's Guide discusses the information from an in-universe POV, and mentions that other wardens believe she died, and the ways they view her "failure". Here is the corresponding quote from Alliance Player's Guide;

Again I said it was presumed she was dead. I never said the books said she were imprisoned.

Warcraft Encyclopedia explains further;

Her lengthy absence from Azeroth, together with Illidan's continued freedom, has led the night elves to presume her dead[1]

She is presumed dead, slain during her pursuit of vengeance

SHE IS PRESUMED DEAD. AS IN IT IS NOT 100% SURE.
