To those who believe WOW is the most fun game out there, think again.
A recent post said the 10 most popular reasons why ppl bash WOW is because they are bored with the game......exactly! honestly, you want to pay for a game, which is not cheap, to get an item that improves your character by a minute amount. The game IS boring once you reach 60 and have gotten a few items from the +60 zones.
PPL defending this game may call me a noob, but hey! I'm no more noob than you are. The only difference is I chose a life! You can't tell me, that unless you're a in a very casual guild, that you can casually play this game?
Sure, this game has it's merits. Most ppl complain about the life after level 60 and I agree. Maybe there should be a "Hardcore" nature to inspire not dieing.
But if you are a defendant of WOW, at least try other big MMORPGS out there, you may be surprised. I found the WOW Community to be the most immature crowd out there, despite being a good guild. Unfortunately, that wasn't enough. The general population needs to be working towards each other, not trying to bash each one over.....
I no longer play this game, and hey! I've never looked back. Whatever argument you have against me, remember one thing: I've played this game hardcore (a guild leader), casually because of work, played on at least 5 realms (Blackrock/Gargath/Garithos/Archimonde/Wildhammer) and still believe you either play on the same old shit or come back to it. Try some other MMORPGs, you may find a better community and not to say the least, fun! That's what it's all about, fun!

So what other games do you suggest? this is going to be funny
just admid it, there currently are NO better MMO's then WoW. Wow took everything good from other MMO's, improved it and put it in a warcraft theme. World of Warcraft's world actually looks like it could be real. the layout is simply amazing.it actually has a story for once. if you come up with stuff that you didn't find anything of the story ingame, then start by actually reading the quests. World of Warcraft's dungeons are done very well, with each of them having its own theme and background. there are L O A D S of equipment and quests.
I had a blast playing it for a year. it was like playing my first MMO all over again. and no other MMO has ever done that.
you can keep whining about endgame as much as you want, because I have a newsflash: EVERY MMO HAS RAIDING AS AN ENDGAME.
There are no better MMORPGs out there, think again. Isn't WOW a rip-off of EQ?
It's funny how some ppl get sucked into the storyline of games, when really who gives a damn?
WOW looks real? lol, you mean cartoonish? Hey, check out the real reality of other games like EQ2 and Eve for comparisons....admit it, you like the naked night elfs, right?
HA! Storyline, you know anyone can figure that orcs will be against humans, ok, that much is true. So where did the rest (dwarfs/gnomes/shamans/tauren) come form then???
Sure, the dungeons are well done, they have to be. You will be doing them over and over again.
You had a blast for a year? So did I! WOW has it's merits, but what u playing now, if any game? Exactly.
The end game is alot since most ppl will reach the highest level. Sure, raiding will be in every game...I'm not saying other games will be better at the end game, but to look at other games if they feel WOW has become boring. If it has, move on.
So let me get this straight. I am having fun with WoW but since you don't agree and you know better my opinion doesn't count? And ontop of it you are saying I don't have a life because of it? With a mature outlook like that how could you be wrong!

Exactly! Who says it's about having a mature outlook? How on earth would you qualify a mature outlook about a game?
It's about a reality check! Maybe you may have one someday. It is of no passing of judgement to you personally, so don't it as such. My only inclination is to point out that if you get bored with the game, it may come after you reach 60, and you may or not may not played other MMORPGs.
What always amazes me is the amount of time and effort critics of WoW put into attempting to prove to players of WoW that they are deluding themselves.
I mean seriously people... when are you are going to get over it ? Of course you have your right to an oppinion, and of course you have the same right to share it with people but it's one thing to attack a game and a completely different subject when your attacking it's players.
In the end, aren't we just all gamers, can you not be happy for a person that plays WoW and is having a good time, can't you just say: "hey, you know what, this game wasn't for me, but whatever, glad your having a good time."
You can go on forever calling people fanbois/girls, you can type until your fingers are bruised about how much you think the game really suxxors, but in the end all your proving is that your to close minded to see someone elses point of view. Not to mention your creating devides in what otherwise should be considered a positive community, we're all gamers, let's just all sit back and enjoy our diversity and differences instead of calling each out all the time, see how it works for you at least maybe

Important Information regarding Posting and You
Great post shae
If only people would listen ... but, of course, they won't.
Isn't it funny that you're saying I'm criticising WoW's community.....exactly! That's what lets it down, it's no myth. Hey, if you're enjoying the game, good for you. I've never mentioned that you should move on......why don't you read the post I've written instead of translating it with your own feelings about ppl attacking WoW subjectively and you'll see my writing "Hey, if you are bored with the game, move on. Exactly!"
You're saying not to attack the players (or x-players) and attack the game when your last paragraph suggests attacking me for my close-mindedness...eh? Are you not doing the same thing? Anyhow, how am I being closed-minded, I have played the game you know.
Get over it? Get over what, exactly? I'm telling it in my own words, you take the salt anyway you like...unfortunately the community is part of the game, whether you like it or not. What amazes me is these long term posters with posts in the hundreds are the biggest critics of all, without any objective thought. Not all, mind you of course. I think too many of them become critical because they don't see a post for what it reads but merely a translation of how they feel.
Ummm, was there a point in there somewhere?

Go ahead.
Sure, better will come along afterwards, but WoW is the gold standard. Maybe CoH/V is ALMOST there, but nobody else is in the same neighborhood.

I agree it's not the best. But what really is the "best" anyway? WoW is the best on some things other games aren't and other games are better on things WoW cannot compete at.
WoW is best at being easily reached.

The only think more immature than WOW players seem to be its ex-player critic community.
. . . . . exactly!
I don''t really know when Humankind will die out but i''m guessing about 6 years before WOW.

BUT
that gives me NO right to say to other people that this game sucks. Sure, I might not like it, so why should other people like it?
It's like saying. . .well I HATE heavy metal music and country, so therefore everyone else should hate it. Being closed minded is the worst thing in the world to be. it's one of my petpeeve. I can't STAND people that think everything they do is the right way or else your not their friend, or they won't talk to you.
To be honest, there really is no BEST mmorpg out there. There never will be either. It might be the best for you, but not the best for everyone.
I'll say this. . .I loved UO for what it was. Many people liked it, and then many people hated it. UO is what made EQ so popular in the day. People didn't like the danger, so they went to everquest. Good for them. . .they found a game that was for them, and I found mine. Sure, WoW took elements from EQ. . .but EQ/UO took elements from D&D. . .D&D took elements from Tolkien, Tolkien took elements from those sorces. . .so on and so on. You will never get anything brand new. . NEVER. Everything has a sample of something in it from the past.
So that is how I stand. Sure, I dislike WoW, but 6 million other people don't. They like it, why should I ruin their game time and their fun? So this is my advice to people that want to troll other people games.....Buzz off, and for him his own!
Total time played: 9125 Days, 21 Hours, 29 Minutes, 27 Seconds
Time played this level: 39 Days, 1 Hour, 24 Minutes, 5 Seconds
Its a subjective matter.
its true WoW incoperated and polished many things from other mmorpg and has been the national anthem of the fans since .
But they improved some things,copied and paste others and just took some backwards.
I think they did the levelling progression very well and certainly polished it.The raids are actually taken off EQ1 and polished up(just there are too few such raid zones but the existing ones are good).
But when we get down to things like pvp i think they just dropped the ball and took many many steps back.How in the world ppl feel standing in a queue for 1 hr+ to get into a 15vs15 man match in some extremely small zone is fun is still beyond me.
Problem is most ppl refuse to expose themselves to other mmorpg.I recall someone in my guild blasting how WoW pvp is best ever and i know for a fact he never played a mmorpg before(he counts diablo 2 as his previous mmorpg experience lol).
No question WoW has a much better pve then say DAoC but when it comes down to pvp forget it .DAoC stomps it with both hands tied behind its back,standing on one leg and eyes closed
Maybe not....
The problem is that there are games that WERE better than WOW at one time unfortunately none of the games that are of the same generation as WOW are better. I doubt that you will find many people who will deny that early EQ and early SWG were way more in depth and entertaining. The fact that you actually had to interact with other players was enough to make them better than WOW will ever be.
I always thought the point of playing an online MMO was to interact with other players. WOW is not about that. Most if not all of the quests are soloable at least until the high levels. They dont even try to encourage any form of grouping by giving XP bonuses to those who do. I have never played a more solo grind oriented game than WOW. Its like they took a single player game and connected it to a bunch of other people who are playing the same game. I mean technically you are playing it together but really......you are all alone.
If I wanted that I would just play oblivion.
Critical thinking is a desire to seek, patience to doubt, fondness to meditate, slowness to assert, readiness to consider, carefulness to dispose and set in order; and hatred for every kind of imposture.
PvP is wow is a lot of fun, but the lines to get into AV and other zones suck completely.
I just started playing EQ2 to check it out and I can say WoW is much more player friendly, which is fun, and why do you play games? Because you want to have fun.
If wow could just get more end-game content
Fact.
There are better games out there!
