WoW woes!

So how is it that CoV and guild wars are better games than WoW according the the users of this site? Granted WoW is full of kids and morons who are annoying as heck, it really is the best mmo out there. Cov is better then WoW maybe during character creation and the first 2 missions *maybe*. Guild Wars may be a free game, but that doesnt make a game good. WoW has depth and is just plain fun, furthermore it is the most played mmo. So is it that people are ashamed that they enjoy this much flamed game, and thus vote it down? Or is there something deeper Im missing?

No, GW and CoV are easy mode. They're also boring.LOL so CoV isnt easy mode?? You obviously have not played the game!

Examine just about every aspect of an mmorpg and WoW is beat by another game... Except perhaps for the incredibly easy nature of it. There are games with better graphics, better combat, better quests, better items, better stories, you name it...
However, WoW has population... and you cannot discount the draw of well populated servers. Nothing worse than spending an hour searching for a few other people near your level to do something with...
WoW also has relatively low hardware requirements. Blocky geography in vivid, simple colors will run well on just about any machine that can be called a pc.
The simplicity of gameplay, combined with low stress on the machine, and a virtually no-penalty for being pathetic game/xp/death system, also means that most of your never-touched-an-online-game-before friends are actually playing WoW. And once again, it's hard to overestimate the draw of playing with friends who'd never touch a "hard" rpg.
Think of MMOs as food.... Some folks might want the high-end gourmet place, others might live at the sushi bar.... but far and away the largest number of people are going to be at the counter of McDonalds, day in and day out. Does that mean McDonalds has the best food in town?
The general arugment seems to be that " the number of players playing WoW doesn't matter because they're all too naive to understand how bad the game "really" is". Wow is a great game and should probably be rated much higher then it is but that's not what this particular community thinks. Unfortunate but that's the reality.

this is your opinion, that is everyone elses, if gw/cov is on top of wow that means majority of the gamers on this site like them better then wow
Great reply. I agree it is very unfortunate, I guess WoW is like "the man" of mmos lol.
I always LOL at easy mode replies. Maybe I havent played any Hardcore MMORPGs but I dont see any difference.
Every MMO is pretty easy IMO. I think wow isnt in the top because most wow addicts dont even care about voting, and the rest likes to bash it to prove their game choice, but Tyler says: you're not youre MMORPG!
Well the point Im trying to get to is that people on this site actually like the game and it is only getting voted down because "thats what everyone else is doing".If Blizz comes out with Diablo 3 they better not make potions heal or gain mana over time, cuz uh fuck that.
I used to like Blizz, but now Im looken to other places for good games.
Ok so you have never played EQ or EQ2 or DaoC or any other mmo, because wow has some of the highest drop rates of any game.Correct but just because they have what you think or may know have the highest drop rates, still doesnt make it good. I play WoW and dislike the drop rates, but there was more to my post then just drop rates.

Yes for 8+ million people they sure are providing a really big fun scam
Lol YES! Exactly!
,unfortunately for you the only thing blizzard did was to produce a top AAA mmorpg game and leave the other companies in the long trail of dust my friend
. You keep talking about GW, but are u actually playing it or are one of those people that pretends to play games on this forums and then goes back to playing wow. My friend its not blizzards fault u had an addiction to their game and now u hate them. For every hater that leaves wow there are probably 20+ more signing up to play everyday. 
Yeah ok true alot of ppl play WoW, and your only argument seems to be that alot of ppl play, Im just saying what I see when I play the game. Dont tell me what other ppl see in the game, tell me what you see is so fun if you like it so much. All your posts seem to consist of alot of stupid faces and LOLs, but no substance, pls alaborate on WHY you like WoW compared to the other MMO's. Is that so much to ask?Yes for 8+ million people they sure are providing a really big fun scam
If someone had came up to me in 1980 when I was on my Atari 2600 and said we will be playing games with thousands of people at the same time.I guess my response would have been,"but I only have 2 joysticks"

Please don't compare GW with WOW, these 2 games have nothing in common and are completely different. WOW has more users because it has a bigger fan base and Arenanet has only been around 2 years. WOW is more PVE and Guild Wars is more PVP.
But hey who knows maybe when GW2 comes out then maybe WOW users will think differently about paying a monthly fee for repetitive content wow offers people.
Oh well life goes on
