Why is it that my best friend started playing because a lot of his other friends started playing, played for a few years because they were, then they quit so he quit and he even told me he really didn't like the game at all and was glad to be done with it, then when they started up again, he started up again?
Blizzard is great at milking the lowest common denominator of people, and they do it over and over and over again, while still managing to cater to the hardcores. Poor, rich, and middle class alike will eat at McDonald's because of what it offers and it caters to them as far as what they want, not them in terms of financial status, but to them personally.
WoW really does suck. Same two or three quests everytime, doing raids just to get better equipment so that you can do even more raids. There's really no point to it, just more more more.

And you expect me to believe it?The little story you gave me there about your friend is just total BS. Your friend spent a few years doing something he hated just because his other friends were doing it? Even IF it were true, that's not exactly an indication that everyone's the same as your friend. In fact I'd be willing to put a cash bet on it that it's the opposite. Most people won't do something willingly that they don't like, especially for "a few years". It's just another BS tale about a WoW hater's friend.And let me know who your character is from the game seeing as you have a good idea of the game. Oh, and is there any point to any game? NO. So you're saying something that gives customers what they want is bad? I can't understand that. Also, if WoW is a bad game, why does it have so many high reviews, so many awards, so many people STILL paying money to play it? STILL having Blizzard working their asses off to bring more content? You're just another troll. Another WoW hater. I'm waiting on you failing to prove to me how you've played the game enough to make the comments you have. I'll be checking back to see.
To be fair, I was trying to rationalize the McDonald's analogy, maybe that was too ambitious for me. :P
Anyway, what I meant was, World of Warcraft, well, really, Blizzard in general, hmm, I just don't like their games. I don't think they are very good. Yeah, I've given them a chance, and my impression was that I was unimpressed. I find them cartoony, and just not very fun.
I started a character on my friend's account, no, I've never installed the game on my own computer, always played it at a friend's house, I got to level 5, 8, I don't know, not a very high level. I was a Tauren druid, had to go on a quest and kill this goblin king who lives in some Thornbrambles or something, hunt various animals and get their pelts and go back to the village and trade them back. To me, the quests were one of two things, kill this many of this, or find this many dropped items. That's it. Or kill a certain NPC.
I've watched my friend play a lot though, and I watched as he spent many hours doing these little errands flying on this winged thing that flies you around, I mean, the game looked so boring. I played it, I found it boring. He wanted to play the game because he wanted to play with his friends, so, in a way, I'm sure he enjoyed something from it, but overall, I don't think he would have liked the game if his other friends weren't playing it.
My character that I created, I'm not sure if it exists anymore, not that I really care, no matter how much I tried to force myself to enjoy the game, I never could. Do I hate World of Warcraft? Uh, yeah, you bet, I honestly think it is the most overrated game of all time, and not just "because it's popular." I honestly think it is a stupid game. Worst game of all time? No, there are plenty of games that get 3.0 ratings and even less than that, so of course it's not the "worst," but in my mind, it's definitely the most "overrated," even more than Halo, I actually kind of like Halo 3 a little bit, a little.
Yeah, Blizzard devs work hard putting up new content, but it seems they do things just to make the game easier. Wasn't there a class you could be and start at some ridiculously high level? To me, that just seems like they're trying to make it cheap, or, if you want to use a different phrase, accessible to more players. I'm sorry, but I don't find that interesting, it just doesn't seem right, things should start at level 1, not 55 or whatever the level was.
Believe me, I've played it, I watched it being played, I'm not jumping on some anti-WoW bandwagon, I legitimately dislike the game for many reasons. From what I've played and what I've seen, it just never looked all that appealling.
I find it strange that I can't have my own negative opinion about a game and not be accused of being "full of it."
Dude, to be honest, let's just drop it. I'm not trying to change your mind, you aren't going to change mine. You can't convince me to like the game, I'll let you have the last word. Bottom-line, I'm not making my story up, yeah, sure, it sounded a little far fetched, I'm not a liar, dude. Let's just agree to disagree and have our own views on it.
To be honest, I also don't want to make enemies with eachother. Cool?
The whole Mc Donalds thing works.
People eat at Mc Donalds forconvenience, the food tastes alright on the surface but theres no depth to it and when you start breaking it all down you realize how crap it all is. However you'll keep coming back to it for a quick fix because it's all you got time for. Same with WoW and how people play it because it's is easy, you can play short bursts and get something done... justconvenient to play to fill up some spare time. However when you look closely at the game you see how **** and shallow it really is. The genre used to be a lot better before all the casuals took over and so was food before it became "fast".
