There's only one MMORPG that I've ever played that wasn't simple. That is EVE. It took me a bit to learn the ropes and whatnot. Their market system is nearly as intricate as a real world market system.
Other than that one game, all of these games are easy as hell. At least in the beginning. Then you start to PvP and you are able to see the that a lot of these games actually do have a lot of depth to them.
Lol I'm sorry, but I just can't take that article seriously no matter how hard I try. /shredder

It is hard to deny the truth of it... though it does come off along the lines of making fun of the kids that ride the short bus.
I miss the MMORPG genre. Will a developer ever make one again?
Quit playing WOW after WOTLK came out when my guild cleared all of the new content within two weeks of hitting 80. Sorry, much to easy now. As the article says, when a 4 year old can actually play the game it has gotten WAY to casual friendly.
Such a shame. I use to love the end game.....not now. I think I will puke if I hear the word Dailies or Faction again!
Is your four year old looking for a raiding guild?
We need a healer.
ROFLMAO.... great post !
I remember one time our guild had a "guest" tank for a dungeon run. Right in the middle we got this over chat...

I Still believe and have read many times, WoW in itself is a great game, it's the community that brings it down.
Yep. I enjoy wow,play off and on now-a-dayz. But what (IMO) people hate the most about WoW is the fanboy zealots that cant stop compairing every game to WoW,or if its not WoW it sucks,or they stole that from WoW,or hey WoW etc etc.
and about the whole Rampat Goblins and Worgen every where, well the same thing happened with BC Draenai and Blood Elf.
IDK if im gonna buy cataclysm right off the bat,cause if you think about it all you are getting for $40 bucks is: New Class/Race combos-New Races and 5 more levels,with some new areas.
Don't know whether Catalcysm is going to suck or not but, as for me:
Worgen playable race .... zzzz.... Not interested
Goblin playable race .... zzzz.... Not interested
New post-level 80 zones ..... zzzz .... Not interested
New Azeroth .... zzzz ..... Not interested.
I spent a lot of happy hours playing WoW, but I struggled to get through the Outland content and never ever finished WotLK before unsubscribing. I may go back to WoW/Cataclysm sometime next year, after the hooplah (and the price) goes down, but I doubt it.
WoW is simply running out of steam because, despite the latest tweaks and the new coat o' paint, it's still the same-old same-old snorefest.

I agree that it doesnt seem like a lot for the money. I think Blizz is counting on the Goblin and Worgen races compelling people to roll alts. Their "hype" is that 1-60 will be like new content as the starting zones have changed. I myself look forward to rolling a Goblin but those not interested in an alt may feel a bit short changed.
WOW isnt great because it has 12 million players. WOW has 12 million players because its great.

This somewhat goes along with the term some have coined in calling it Cataclysm Lite in comparison to earlier announcements of what it would include. I have wondered why Blizzard has not taken the approach that Paragon did with Going Rogue and the Incarnate system. It was cut from the release of GR, but the initial part of the system is going to be included in the next Issue. In order to access it though, you will have to have purchased GR.
Blizzard could still work on those parts they cut and include them as a patch/content mini-expac for those that have purchased Cata at some point over the next 3-9 months or so in bits.

Yeah it's the Playskool aspect of this game that really pisses me off and makes me NOT want to play Cata (im in Beta) Got a lvl 40 paladin and have yet to die not one single time!

I doubt Hunters will roll on anything but mail gear, nor will it be allowed in big time guilds (where it actually matters who gets what), mostly because a single leather piece, although giving a little more of a stat than a mail piece of the same level (not likely), still wouldn't equate to losing the agility gained through mail specialization. Not sure if something similar to this has been posted yet, if so, apologies.

You're really questioning why you haven't died in 40 levels as a paladin? Maybe level as a holy priest.

But leveling? That's easy in every game.
Talk about throwing cookies under a bridge.

I doubt Worgens will be as highly played as people think.
I think it will go.
1.Human
2.Blood Elf
3.Night Elf
4.Worgen.
As far as classes are concerned Worgens can be druids. Thats about it.. All the tweens that play the BE will continue to do so.
I don't care about innovation I care about fun.

Heheh, and that about sums w0w up. LOL

Epic fail.

This article was neither interesting, nor provocative, nor funny.
Is this really the best MMORPG can do? You guys still have a long way to go if you aspire to be content creators as well as a forum.
Sorry.
And what level is your Dwarf Hunter in WOW?

There were already furries in WoW. Taurens = furres. The fandom has been in WoW since inception. We just have more options now. Muhahah.
:P
Let's get down to the issue everyone knows they have in their minds...
Will their be couriers for the Worgens to chase?
Eh. Don't want to make one.
