People Just Need To Except WOW Is The Best MMO Of All Time!

I see so much WOW hate. I've played some great MMO's, but none come close to the overall package of WOW.
I loved Neocrons dark atmospheric world that reminded me of Blade Runner.
I loved the vast open sandbox of SWG, and the player housing.
I'm currently loving LOTRO.
However no game has ever had the same effect of my that WOW did when i first started playing. I've never spent so much time in a game. It's to put simply a class act. The world always draws me back, and it's the best most detailed game world ever created in a MMO.
Most people who dislikes the game, only dislike it because it's cool to dislike WOW, much like President Bush. This video sums up perfectly what a great game WOW was and still is:

wow fanbois need to realise its not...for everyone ^^

People Just Need To EXCEPT WoW is the best MMO of all time
let me fix that for you
People Just need to know that EXCEPT WoW everything is the best MMO of all time
in all seriousness, no, it is not the best MMO of all time, perhaps the most sucess full, but not because its good but because its simple. like ive said many times before
Anyone and their grandmother can play wow
which is brilliant if you want to have billions of subscriptions. nonethesless, it is not the best game of all time.
perhaps to you but not for me and many others.
It was never "cool" to dislike WoW. People who stay away from it because its not there game. I know plenty of "too cool for school" type niche kids who played WoW and then went and played in there rock band. EVERY class of human in some part plays WoW. But not EVERYONE in the world plays it because we would rather play something better in terms of "actually better" and not just the hype wave that exloded onto WoW and grew. The times are changing, there are many better MMO's in the genre that overall beatout WoW in almost all aspects, they just dont ride the same Hype train. Lets face it, "arguining that WoW is the best" Is exactly the reason that people argue that WoW sucks. If WoW players just STFU and realized not EVERYBODY has to love WoW like they do, then there wouldnt be a problem. But there are always spoiled idiots who half have everyone agree with them or else. I myself am a former WoW player of about 3 years. And I agree with OP=Retard
I'd be happier if people just accepted that everyone is entitled to an opinion.
Swear to god... mmo fans are worse then friggin Yankees/Bo Sox fans. Go Marlins?
You made a right comparison there between president Bush and WoW.
That's all I'll say.
Have fun mate. Whatever pushes your buttons.
K lets go through some examples.
Dungeons:
WOW's best dungeons/Instances are much better than any game out there. Prove me wrong. The Deadmines for example is more fun than any other dungeon i've ever played in another MMO.
According to YOU, not to me
I play wow. I enjoy wow. I do think it is simpler then some games in the genre, but those games are usually vastly different in play style. Do I think some of the popularity is do to hype? yeah of course the game is massive, but to say it's all hype is ignorant. To underestimate blizzard is foolish. They know what they are doing and they do it well. I have been playing since release and plan on playing throughout the upcoming xpac. I have played many other mmo's and always end up coming back. I really wish these "OH EM GEE THIS IS THE BESTEST/WORST MMO EVER" debates would end. Grow up and get the fuck off your high horse. To each his/her own. So STFU and go play your own favorite game.
According to YOU, not to me
Well some of the dungeons are pretty damn challengings, but wayyy to item/gear dependent. I half to admit WoW's dungeons are deffinently rewarding. But as a downfall. Only niche guilds with the best get to it first and everyone else gets to it after the newer and even better Tier sets come around and outdate the one you finally got too. Its a never ending cycle of hell.

The MMO market is about 15million people. 11 million play WOW, so the vast majoirty of players agree with me. What gives the minority the right to think the majority are fools for believing this. Ok think of this. I'm an atheist. I don't believe in god, but the majoirtiy of the world do believe in god. I think all the believers are dumb for believing. How does that make you feel when i say that? Ignorant? Well thats how WOW players feel when we are told we are carebears for likeing this game.
Anybody and their grandma can play any MMO....they are all just as simple as WoW. Even all the MMOs before it. maybe not Ultima and EQ as much but thats only because they were first so the whole concept was new to people, but even your grandma could figure those games out after a bit of playtime.
playing: darkfall
waiting: earthrise

and you realize nobody cares what you beleive in? Have fun in nothing. Not EVERYONE is a jackass and thinks WoW players are carebare or stupid. Truth be told, most dont give a shit about the so called "WoW majority" Because they would rather do what they want. The same with what the "WoW majority is doing by playing WoW in the first place." The who Biast/predudice atmosphere is just an illusion created by the forumspace on the net. If you let it get to you, then thats just sad. Play you're WoW and dont QQ for reputation sake. And since when did anyone even care that over 6-7 million of those WoW players are chinese. The ones you never interact with. All my friends including myself have palyed WoW for quite a long time and enjoyed it. But you are a retard to think everyone cares whether you have a so called majority backing you. Its all numbers.
Dead wow fanboy,
please enlighten me, why wow is so much better than every other MMO. Shouting "10mio players, 10mio players!!!" is no acceptable answer.
Try EQ2's Nizara at level 70 and see how fast you cry. as far as best dungeons.
I started playing WoW a month after it was released. I stopped playing it 6 months later. I can say 2 things for a fact:
1) I quit because I had been bored out of my skull for some time and finally decided to quit paying for a game I wasn't playing.
and
2) If I had found WoW fun, I'd still be playing it. I have tried going back a few times, but it is still just as boring as it was the first time.
I WANT to like WoW. It is a well-built game. It's just not the kind of world and gameplay that holds my attention.

This is where I draw the line: __________________.
LoL i love how fanbois always come down to this wow is the best because it has x many subs. Ok so when did "because everyone else does it it must be cool", become a logical explenation for something? I must be geting old or something i dont know but, i always thought personal opinion made something good or not... i dont like fish so its no good. ( I dont care if you like it I DON'T so i dont have to accept your opinion in any way). Wow is a hack from everything before it, Yes wow is rather polished but so is a bald mans head.
Yeah 6 hour plus raids sound like so much fun......
What is your physical limit?

never said wow players where carebears
could not care less what you believe in or what you think of what i believe
just don't impose on me that WoW is the best game of all time
yes 11/15 million play wow so they must back you up then again 80% of the world lives on less than 10$/day (thats 4.8/6 billion people that are hungry in the world) source: world bank development indicator 2008. is it better to be hungry? majority ONLY means ACCESSIBLE to more people. Target market is bigger.
a shoe manufacturer makes shoes. EVERYONE walks! every one needs shoes therefore more market possibilities
a glasses manufacturere will only make glasses for people who need glasses, market is reduced, thus less possibilities.
the fact that WoW has more market possibilities means that it will get more people.
EvE online is a more difficult to learn, comprehend and time consuming... that narrows down the target merket to only a select few thus less people will play.
and to the person who said grandmothers can learn to play any MMO? let her try eve online, or UO, or for that matter figure out the crafting system of SWG(pre-cu) (or darkfall if and when it comes out)
so i would sugest you take some classes in business or marketting before you post ridiculous comments like the ones you just did
P.S i think blizzard developpers are geniuses in the business world, not so much in game development.
Actually, when atheists tell me that I am dumb for believing, it seriously does not bother me. It wouldn't be much of a belief if someone else disagreeing could sway me. So what's the deal with WoW players? They can't take disagreement?
Here's another analogy for you:
Most people like chocolate. I like chocolate too. My husband can't stand it, and says so every time I get some. It has no bearing on my enjoyment. 11 million people play WoW. I'd rather do housework than play WoW.... So this hurts your feelings if I say so? If you are having fun in WoW, what difference does it make if someone else didn't enjoy it?

I realise people all have different opinions. There are some movies I love that are considered to be B movies which have small cult followings. I also don't like all the blockbuster movies that come out and are a big success. Still I find WoW to be the best MMO out there IMO. It has the best PvE content at the moment (even though no one uses it anymore). If there wasn't such a lack of player interaction and focus on raiding then I would probably still play it. In the begginning it was a lot more fun when people were grouping up and doing all the instances together. It was almost like Everquest with more solo ability. Now it seems almost all solo though and thats not a good thing. I should also add that I've tried a lot of other MMO and find them not very interesting. WoW is the last MMO that held my attention for a while after UO and EQ. I thought maybe Warhammer would do the trick, but I got bored of it very quickly. Right now I'm not playing anything as they all are boring to me.
Never ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever say that ever. Deadmines? Are you serious?
Isn't that the one where its.. Pull mob. Kill mob. Rest. Pull mob. Kill mob. Rest.
Oh wait.. thats all of them.
Thanks.
Just your opinion and that's that.
I think if WoW was your first game then eys you will think WoW is the greatest game ever......However those of us that came from other games (EQ, UO, DAoC, AC, etc) didnt find it to be the greatest thing in the world......I would say that WoW can be fun but what it really lacks is challenge.......If your just looking for a game where you can log on and have fun without much challenge then by all means WOW is probably the best choice.......If challenge is what makes your fun though then there are many games that are much better......I like to compare WoW to watching cartoons......I dont have to think too much and its a fine way to pass a few minutes but eventually I need something more substantial......Im gald alot of you like Wow and you have a game that you find fun.......I just like more challenge in my games and can do without all the @$$hats in the game.......
CAN THE MODS PLEASE MOVE THIS WOW THREAD TO THE WOW FORUMZ!!!!!!
Playing: Nothing
Looking forward to: Nothing
Post like this is one of the reasons ppl on this board hate on WoW.
It may be the best game to you but not to me.. i have given this game a try at least 3 times ranging from 2 month up to 5 and i still dont see why so many ppl are playing it... its not that much better then most MMO's out there. And you are doing the SAME THING as every MMO out there or that has come before it.
