WoW was a complete waste time. I got into it for about a month and
just got so frustrated by it's mechanics. As an undead rogue I
stabbed my way to level 80 - a tedious venture. Once you hit 80
you hit a wall. The game is still a grind to replay dungeons so
you can get gear that has a 7% chance to drop. After it
drops you get to roll off for it so let's diminish the probability
you get that loot even further. So people might be asking why
not start an alt? Okay that sounds fun, let's relive the continuous
grind from 1 to 80. Guild's o yeah, the annoying place
where people talk on vent about how much their potions
are going for. They discuss these things in earnest like
they're putting money into an IRA. Then I started my
own guild where people asked me to plan everything. I had
more fun doing pugs (assembling random people to run a raid),
which also entails spamming in trade chat for at least a half an hr.
It's hard to see this as agame, but rather a series of tedious
tasks to gain marginal respect from people who live in their parent's
basements. O yeah, when the next patch/expansion comes
out you do it all again. I'm giving props to Blizzard
for creating a real cash cow.
Fingers are crossed for Dragon Age Origins - because the trailers show
all the personality of Baldur's Gate. Gonna wait
until they package all the chapters of Monkey Island into
one bundle. So now I'm gonna find Vampyre Story because it
fits the time of year.
