So I'm kinda bored of wow after hitting 70 for the 4th time whoopdie frecking do 
and I'm feed up with the god damn kids ruining my gaming , this got me to thinking is it wow ? or is it just a different era ?
I remember playing eq1 for days on end and never had the problem of these "new age noobs" trying scam ya for this, rob ya for that, the farmers spaming trade channel, ppl taking your spawns etc etc the list really is endless.
I remeber waiting days just for the eboot mob to be free so I could camp him for 24hours, these days some mofo would just KS the mob and then /lol you.
Kinda like "kids with hoodies robbing old ladies" filming it and putting it up on utube imo
TBh think I just sell my account and take up trainspotting atleast I'll get some piece and quite 
Anyone else feel the same ?

Your just a burned out WoW players.. nothing more... you'll be back.. they always do.
I will never again play a WoW style game that leaves me powerless to extract revenge upon those players/Pro-Farmers who KS mobs, Raid Bosses and so on. It is unfortunate that unless a MMO gives the player base the ability to pk who ever they like, then Griefers and farmers can pretty much do as they like without fear of any consequences but the only other alternative would be to make every area a instanced area and to me thats just crap, and a mmo community killer.
Its sad cause its true.

I don't think it has anything to do with being burnt out at all I think 08030 has hit the nail on the head You need to be able to PK anyone, I think I would have to agree
Wait for the expansion.
It is just a case of you exhausting all of the content in WOW. It happens to every game. Nothing last forever.
Yeah, back when I played WoW (When there was one raid instance and T1 epic gear was the only "purple") had the same problem. I quit, never went back. (Not the only reason I quit) Been playing EvE since. One of the reason as you can do whatever you want, whenever. If course there can/may be consequences. Doesn't mean you "can't" do it though.
Not to mention, being in one huge world. It's not "Oh, some guild on another server did that, to bad we can never actually see them withouth rolling another character on that server or something" It's, hey (insert Corp/Alliance name here) won some massive battle took over a buncha systems, killed lots of peeps, left some titan wrecks and lagged up the node (:p). Sounds like fun, lets go join the fight. Or whatever.
After rereading that, well. I am tired. BUT the point was, anything and everything. You hear about in the game, is in the same world you are playing in. So it will effect you as well as every other person playing. Just as things you do can effect everyone playing the game. Not just a buncha peeps on server number 5 of 297. If you get my point....if I even made since.
Good night.

If brute force isn't working, you are not using enough.
Don't argue with an idiot, they will bring you down to their level and beat you with experience.
Then why aren't you on a PvP server??? I mean, back before TBC when everyone still hit up the world boss mobs....anytime the alliance started to fight him the horde would get together and start an all out war with them over it. They'd have to have two raid groups...one to fight the boss and another to combat the horde.
I use to go to this mine in STV to farm gold so I could buy my mounts and my starter Epic weapon. There was always an actual gold farmer there...a warrior. Everyday, about 40 times a day, I'd kill him over and over whilst making my rounds in the cave for skins, minerals, and loot. Truth be told, I probably got that farmer fired from his job...god knows he never made any money on those days.
All I"m saying is...they HAVE servers which offer what you are asking for. Otherwise....I'm with everyone else....I think you are suffering burnout because you've played ALL the content 4 times over. Its just boring now, it happens to everyone eventually.
I got bored with Wow after about two weeks, of course, I get bored with almost all of these games once I'd gone on fifty collect ten panther noses quests. Don't any of these games have more interesting quests?
For a minute I thought the LORTO Epic quest was what I was looking for... but it turned out to be way too little and too soon done... back to the grind to earn a tiny little addition to the epic story line.
Even PVP gets boring, I hate it when some idiot gallops around me trying to get me to agree to fight by attempting to annoy me.
I'm anything but WoWed, very Vangrinded, certainly Bored of the Rings, and tired of Evertedium. sigh... it seems like no one can make a new fun MMO, just clones of the old ones boring ones.
:P Play Gunbound for awhile. Its what I do to break the tedium. You might also look into either Requiem or Chronicles of Spellborn. Both seem to have a more active looking combat...even if Requiem doesn't (as I'm not sure) at least you can see body parts flying off the mob you laid waste to.
warhammer will be the same as WoW, when you're complainning about 'kids' and 'farmers'. both of these are a new constant to mainstream or near mainstream games, and have been since the average person could afford a decent computer.
I find it amazing that by 2020 first world countries will be competing to get immigrants.

I'm not looking for 'active looking' combat, or body parts... I'm looking for great game play. Perhaps that needs more explaination. I want a quest that presents me with problems to solve, with lots of possible solutions. I want it to matter, meaning, what I did before ties into what I do now. Where the game world isn't the same every day, and what I do matters to my character's story. Not more and better ways to kill monsters... that's just more grind.
World of WarCraft certainly caused a Big Bang of new online gamers, and of course when you have more total people you have proportionately more fools of all kinds, but I agree that it seemed to tip the ratio. Though that may be like saying an iceberg tipped the Titanic.
I beta tested World of WarCraft, did not buy it when it released, and then gave it a try about a year after its release, for less than a month. It has nothing I want out of online roleplaying and everything I don't, so it didn't last long with me. So, I can't speak of its community from much in-game experience, but from what I have seen of its players on forums....
Well, I hope the franchise keeps them occupied.
You must have played in an alternate universe. Scamming, theft, kill stealing, farming, and market manipulation were rampant when I was playing EQ from 2000 and on and are still there today.
This is a part of human society. It's not a new phenomenon.
I played on prexus(american server) and never had any problems also found it went down hill when sony bought out verant, Kunark and Velious was the best expansions after that it went downhill I moved to antious bayle and noticed a few cocks started popping up, maybe its a eurofag thing i dunno

If you have 4 level 70s, it means you spend too much time playing video games.
Go outside. Get some exercise. Read some books.

im to lazy too use grammar or punctuation good
In EQ, rude kids didn't make it past level 20 for a LONG time.
By the time they learn how to play their character and manage it to serious levels, they usually behave. I was KS a lot in EQ, in Crushbone. The further you go from there, the rarer was the KSing, and the few who dare KSing find themselves on the "black lists" of many players.
See, in EQ, when there are about 20 enchanter of epic level on your server, 7 of which would not even bother acknowledging your very existance...you think twice before KSing 1 of the few who may accept to group you. This logic make you understand that also, there is not that many epic level characters, and pissing any is bad (the 20 chanters won't go pissing everyone around either, cause not that many peoples and even if the precious chanters are a rarity...everyone is there for the FUN of playing a game hehehe)
In WoW...you piss someone? LOL, there are just sooo many peoples at the level cap, who cares if some emo are unhappy at you? But modern MMOs, they have everything instanced now...so KSing is not really a problem...in a modern MMO.

I think you are 100% right Anoflye it was not easy to get a group in EQ and the community was alot stronger than it is today. Esp when it comes to wow as there are like 3clases that can tank anyone can DPS and there is about 4 healing classes ppl just join for a quick 45mins then u never really see them again. back in the day you would spend 8hours in the same group getting to know each other while u was killing was much better that this fast paced BS imo.
WoW is far to easy EQ was murders to level esp when u hit a "hell level" those fuxxkers would make you pull your hair out.
Is it only mainstream games that seem to be catering for the casual gaming market or are most games going doing this road ?
I really like to grind and mainly level because once you get to end game content you have 2 choices give up your social life and learn new encouters or join a guild that reads all spoliers.
I know EvE has been going for years is there still a little juice left in her or is it a bit late in the game to start playing. I think I may take up a game that leads towards HC gaming to a degree

i know what your talking about, i quit wow once i had 3 70s and my guild could tear through any content. just sell or give away your account and enjoy doing something else. since i quit i have not gone back and have been having more fun playing games such as open pvp ones where i can kill the asshats and noobs when ever i want and get their items.
Open PvP ones... what ones you on about ?
conquer online, zero online, rappelz
i think conquer online is one of the games i have had most fun pvping in just because if someone is talking smack to you just kill them. zero online has the same pvp system too but you cant pvp until 100 which i dont like cause i cant kill noobs. and rappelz is fun too. also i use to play on nagafen on EQ2 that pvp was fun but ruled by twinks and it was only certain lvls who could pvp.

Ya, I was wondering if I was the only one to think this way!
I played on Brell for a awhile until DAoC came out, and I never had a problem at all with any of these problems people complain that are in WoW. The community was awesome. The guilds worked together to share various content such has the planes. It amazes me that the system all the raiding guilds put together worked has long has it did.
I think a lot of it has to do with society in general. Most of the people i played with back in 1999 on Everquest were adults. The youngest person with 24 i think. And the kids that did play respected everyone, and they made great guild and group mates. The older members taught them respect in game and in life in general. A lot of people say that the first online game you play will always be the best. Well, for me the first online game i played was UO. I have to say that EQ was the most fun ive ever had in any game so far.It was the people that made it that way.
I compare a lot of WoW players to the kids you see nowdays. They can not dress themselves. They listen to music they cant even understand. They have no respect for anyone else much less themselves. I imagine these type of players doing stuff that they can get away with in online game that they could not do in life. Times have changed!
