If you're a girl player or just afraid of being killed and want to play an MMO that's more like a singleplayer game WoW is the game for you. If PvE is what you like without being hassled by other players (even on PvP realms) WoW is the game for you.
This game was so fun when I started playing it. The possibilities were endless. WoW probably has the most disappointing endgame of any other MMO or game for that matter considering what an epic game it could of been.
Players had an endgame in the form of PVP and city raiding, but of course that was stripped away. Battlegrounds and the honor system made pvp potentials hide in BGs and since that was the only place pvp can be found and only rewarding pvp that's where everyone was.
A game full of massive amounts of level 60 players playing the same 3 repatative battleground games. What a flop.
If you're someone who enjoys things other than pvp you can raid a few dungeons, but just getting into a raid guild is a task in itself. There's a whole lot of politics you have to go through ontop of all the drama...All guilds have it unless of course you're a guild leader..then you can crap all over everyone else and screw people out of items so your friend's get them. Raiding will consist of hours upon hours of your life being wasted away to maybe get 1 epic. Then once you get the epics......???...heh...you get to go sit in ironforge and show em off like you would show your clothes off at a church. There's nothing to WoW outside of controled pvp and instanced raiding. No life in the world. Blizzard killed city raiding and world pvp. The expansion will be interesting for about 2 months and everything and everyone will settle into the same cycle WoW is in right now.
level 1-59 this game is great. It's WoW's endgame and Blizzard's insistance on making sure all the whiners weren't getting killed and everyone played nicely that kept it from being legendary.
My 2 cents, thanks

Totally disagree on that.
Just because you aren't excepted for good raiding guild doesn't mean end-game sucks
Try RP-ing, can be fun as well.
Coming from someone bi@^%ing like one that is funny....
So WoW isn't your cup of tea. Boohoo, so sad, go play another game.
btw: you forgot to include the whine tax to that, your total is actually $3.50...

You
level 1-60.
ever 10 level's to spend countless hour's getting new item's.
you get to 50-59 you spend eeven more countless hour's for new item's.
Your 60, You farm for rep for day's and day's and spend hour's on useless boreing quest.
You spend as much time as you did leveling 1-60 farming for FRto raid in MC/BWL/Ony
You find a guild and spend 40+ hour's raiding in Ony/MC/BWLfor a chance on a item.
You are epiced out, You spend more time youthen you did farming for FR for NR.
You pvp some and try to get rep but you seem to not be as geared out as everyone eles.
You spend like in MC countless hour's for chance on loot in AQ20/40
You have better loot you try to pvp some more for rank 10+, But it seem's they are still better geared.
You are ready for naxx you farm for Naxx resist and spend as much time as it toke you to clear BWL to find a way to kill the frist boss.
You try to pvp from rank 10 to 14 but you have to spend hour's and hour's to even keep your rank let alone get rank 13 or 14........
The pvp is crap and it's all rep grind and the GFX are so crappy, what is fun in WoW why do you ppl find it good?

Which FF Character Are You?
Well isn't every game crap that way?... You play a game cause you enjoy playing it. If you want to be the best you always have to put major effort into it! Simple as that. If you enjoy spending countless hours on finishing some single player game you haven't achieved anything either... It's just a game. This is the way it is for every game out there no mather what genre.
Practicaly games are just a waste of time.(A very addictive nice way of wasting time though)
wait, so you complain because the game is comprehendable by an average person? why? what's wrong with that?
played on a pvp server (and not one started 2 days ago) much? i do not belive they call STV "gank zone" for nothing...
not going to raid cities or doing world pvp is YOUR choice, i know my guild has alot of fun raiding TB, UC and orgrimmer, while it's true there are no formal engagements zones provided by the game (a point being rememdied in the upcoming expension) there's nothing preventing you from doing them except your own expectations to be handed those events on a platter.
see my eariler comment, if you play the game for the rewards this is your choice, i play to enjoy myself (and yes, i win quite a few battlegrounds wearing UBRS level blues and a few BGs epics, it's the team play you know...)
list of endgame dungeons: 5man: DM(east, west, north), strat (live/dead), scholo, lbrs/ubrs, ZG, AQ20, MC, BWL, AQ40, naxx
Totals by numbers: 5man: 6, 10man: 2, 20man: 2, 40man: 4
not a bad selection for the casual player, and considering in an established server you can find up to BWL pugs (in my own server there are even AQ40 pug or 2), what you do need to get reinvited to these raids is to prove yoursef a capable player, and not a jerk who thinks he's above everyone else (and/or does stupid things for his own amusement causing raid failure).
you must have been in a very very bad guild to have such experience, this is not game related, it's about the people you chose to hang with.
again, your own choice of what to do with your earned loot, and offcourse there's nothing to do but raid, pvp and kill mobs (well, and have those amusing discussions with other people), what else did you expect from a game?!
can i borrow your time machine...?
as you've gathered by now i disagree with you totally, i think you should really look at your reasoning and figure out how much of it is you thinking inside the same tired old box of "hardcore must rule the game, casuals are here to provide me with easy marks and someone to laugh at when i'm bored."

let's see, every 10 levels getting new items? why? when the quests and instances for that level provide you with them, they may not be the best available choices, but they're certainly adequate for the task of leveling, pvping against equal level players (i will not talk about twinking, as this is obviosly a (very expensive) choice made by the advanced player).
farming of rep/items/money, how is that any different from any other game out there? you want the good, you work for them, there are no free epix around for the lazy player.
gear and pvp, have you ever seen a group of players, playing togather, for the team and for the battleground objective rather then every player for himself, and each one trying to get the maximum amount of honor kills or killing blows? i have, and i've seen that group in UBRS blues and low rank pvp gear rip thru naxx equiped players so fast you won't believe it (it was actually embarassing to watch, all that gear and none of the teamwork to get the popential out of it) and offcourse you can pretty much pug everything in this game up to BWL and AQ40 with enough time (the strat guides are out there, have your puggers read them and watch the countless kil videos and it's a child's play to kill some bosses for epics)

I leveled 2 characters to 60 on a PvP server when it first came out. The first one was easy, cause I partied up with my son, and gankers were reluctant to attack a Pally/Mage combo.... (of course, it did happen sometimes) My second character was a Shadow Priest...and he could always melt faces or manage a quick get away with his fear/bubble/heals... (but I did learn to hate rogues so much that I let them die on raids when Im supposed to be healing them sometimes oops!)
My next 2 60's were on a PvE server, and I must say, it is far more relaxing and very easy to level up. My latest project, a Warlock has taken me 3 weeks and 2 days to get to level 44. However, I do miss the spontaneous combat of the PvP server.
So, to really survive, you're gonna have to either find some friends to level up with you, shout alot for groups in IF/SW or play a character than can't easily be killed (Shadow Priest, Druid, Rogue) or can easily escape.
I'm not a carebear btw, I prefer free for all servers where ganking is the norm, however those days are probably long gone. Realize most people play the game to reach the highest levels, and random ganking just slows down your progression.
What the original OP of this thread really wants is the opportunity to gank people who are otherwise occupied.... the current WOW BG's dont really provide that sort of "fun".
Go play Eve... I hear you can gank freely there.

WoW is awsome game.
you just dont know how to play properly.
Earned loot goes towards nothing. You can't city raid without penalty and therefore nobody does it. All you can do is go back to raiding the same dungeon for no real reason to get more loot that's does nothing for you or stand around in IF or orgrimmar. I've tried looking for world pvp it's rare.
What I said about guilds is true for about 90% of raid guilds. I've been in many.
The bottom line is WoW is a shallow game. It's appears to be deep when you're on the surface and just starting to play then you get to endgame and realize there's nothing left.
Which Final Fantasy Character Are You?

Not having played past 30 on WoW I dont have anything to say about the game. You might be right. I do find WoW to be like MMO lite at times. What I do have to say is I know quite a few girl gamers who are just as good as guys if not better. Guild leaders, raid organizers, and just regular players. The game is what it is, but generalizing players on gender is a misconception.
As for WoW, I do hear alot about lack of endgame content and wonder if its worth it to make the trudge to 60. It also tends to be a bounceback or in-between MMO game for me. Kind of a quick-fix between other online games. I have yet to find a guild in the game I actually wanted to be part of, though I dont lack for in-game friends. Also for a game with as many quests as WoW has, I dont always find them interesting. Still this could just be personal preference.

though wow needs HEAPS OF IMPROVEMENT i agree
end game in wow is pretty decent but the pvp in wow sucks and supposedly there upgrading it....
lets hope it improves
WoW is the best game I've ever played by far, and tat's cuz I think its the best game by far. I understand the different complaints, and I couldnt agree more. The endgame isnt the best, it's a little repetative, and it's easy to lvl up... but every game has its weaknesses and strong points... how about focusing a little more on the good things ppl? If you dont like the easyness of lvling, then play something else like MU Online... There's no way that you will ever reach max lvl in that game. Simple as that.
If you dont like the way the endgame is, be creative and make some suggestions.
I agree that the game appears a little bit like a singeplayer game, but maybe it's because everyone is already lvl 60, and no one is out there training in the massively large areas. This is why I'm looking forward to the new patch. There will be more things to do and more places to explore. If you get bored of WoW, then maybe its time to move on to another game.
Have a great gaming time
Anyway I want a game for Monchichi what game has that? Carebears are ok but Monchichi is where its at.
