WoW is trash.

ochadd · August 2005

I had such high expectations for this game with all the hype people throw around. It fell so far short it's sad I fell for it.

The game is boring, unoriginal, looks terrible, and the devs have the balls to charge you to suffer through it.

The only perk out there is the number of people playing. You can always find someone else to bitch about the game with you. You also have the ability to find a good guild that you can rely on which is nice since those people will be the only thing keeping you playing after the first day.

There is only one group of people I could possibly recommend this game to. People who are looking for nothing more than a time sink and their first MMORPG. The game is easy and doesn't require you to do anything but throw time at it to be good. You don't need timing or much strategy you just need to farm that equipment.

There are allot of "WoW sucks" threads around and here is another. I wouldn't feel right if I didn't do my best to prevent my fellow gamers from wasting $50 and $15 a month.

You're as entitled to your opinion as anyone else here, and I happen to agree with you, but since you're aware there are already a ton of "WoW sucks" threads you could have just posted in one of those.

Well, I got bored of it by level 55. But the first day? Smoke some more crack, buddy. The game is so entirely fun it should be a crime. Did you play on a PvP server? Saying it only takes time is B.S., I would own you in PvP if that's what you think, good gear or not.

Ever do an instance? It requires strategy and people who know their role. Die Troll.

Agreed.

After playing WoW for 15 hours I left...I think I may has been the first player worldwide to quit the game without playing beta or alpha...

I would not say the game is trash however. It is simply...an overgrown EQ tutorial. Nothing bad in this. EQ is still my second best MMO experience, so an overgrown EQ tutorial is not a bad thing. I assume for a new player this game can rock a lot...to an experienced player...well, it depend...many like me will simply find it...not answering the call.

As an overgrown EQ tutorial, WoW completely rock!

LuckyDucky · August 2005

I been playing since December and I still enjoy it.

coolcloud368 · August 2005

Boring? Farming Equipment? on a PvP server yeah right. I am not saying WoW is flawless but it is far from boring, contested areas offer an array of different stratigies and logic to survive in, and MC/BWL/Scholo boring? Once again I am not saying these areas never get boring, cause they do, but Blizzard wanted their FIRST MMO not to be a grind fest or a time consuming game like L2 or FFXI, and for a first mmorpg, and what i consider their first rpg, i say it's a pretty damn good game.

How about you stop wasting oxygen that could be put to good use by someone with some intelligence.

Ledronaz · August 2005

I dont think WoW is trash its a good game. It just intended for a different kind of player someone who is looking for an MMO thats easy to get into and play with out to much hard work. I do agree though that the game does not have a lot of the stuff that a true hardcore roleplaying fan would look for but once again like I said WoW was designed to be easy to play and get interested in quickly. Hardcore roleplaying fans are better off with games like the orignal everquest or if your someone who wants a little less hardcore go with Eq2. I am currently playing Everquest and Guildwars, Eq for the hardcore roleplay and Guildwars for its easy of play.

zeus88 · August 2005

Bah... I hate the people constantly starting new threads just to write something stupid...

Sure World of Warcraft isn't perfect... but is sure as hell isn't "boring, unoriginal, looks terrible"

Boring... what did you expect from an RPG... constant headshots from a sniper that's hidden on high ground? It is only boring to those who want it to be. If you're bored with one character...CHANGE your class or race if needs be. Sure it didn't take me long to get bored with my first warrior and hunter... but once I found out how fun a rogue was I have been using him non stop and he is level 50 now (been so for the past 4 weeks as all I do is BG)

Unoriginal... the only thing that is unoriginal about this game is that it is an MMORPG...

Looks terrible... so what drugs are you on or were you just born that retarded? This is one of the best looking games around, stunning graphics.

Easy... what the hell is easy about it? Sure many quests are not hard to solo but you try doing an instance with a crappy team unless you use your brain (something I am starting to doubt you do have) your team will just be wiped so many times that it wouldn't be even worth continuing. If you think that throwing time at it is enough, I guess you would be one of those people who know absolutely nothing about the game and are terrible at it... except in the art of whining.

You are right there are allot of "WoW sucks" threads around and I don't see why you made another instead of just posting in one already open. If you're truly wouldn't feel right if you didn't do your best to prevent fellow gamers from wasting money, you would have at least had the decency to mention well what made you loose interested in the game.

Jackall · August 2005

I agree on a certain limit... The game does get boring if you do not take a class you like... And it is not really
intended for hardcore players...

My character is a level 36 druid and i'm already bored of WoW... Don't ask me how come cause i don't know... It's just like one day i woke up realizing it's not real fun anymore.

I have played a starting character like a mage or a priest to 10.. But than i get bored of doing the whole nine yards all over again!

I still have a subscription.. so if anyone can tell me what's fun with WoW after casually playing it 3 months
(very casually - like 1 hour a day) than please tell me..

P.s. My friend started some classes to (most of them to 20) and i when i told him about a Lineage 2 server suddenly he became very interested (almost like he got bored of wow like hell)

P.s. 2.. I don't like lineage 2 because it's to weirdish (the movement, etc etc)

To be honest to you people... The only mmorpg i really enjoyed playing... Was Star Wars: Galaxies before the Combat Upgrade. (And i've played alot of mmorpgs)

[Can anyone pm me a nice mmorpg to play? Beta/Freeshard (to see how the game looks like, i'm not willing to start paying for a game i don't enjoy)]

:Offtopic: Please don't start flaming me now for saying WoW sucks.. It just does for me but it might not suck of other people, also.. The first 2 months were awesome and i really had a great time!

WOWLags · August 2005

I agree it does lack any inovation. Diablo 2 on steroids is a quick snap shot view of the game.

OMG you pk me so what, in this carebare game there is no real risk, so what do I lose? PvP servers are no better. You can PvP everywhere that is all. I to am very disappointed they should have called the game World of Evercraft or EQlite. As soon as you WoW carebears come to a real PvP game, if I am playing I can show you what real PvP is, I will be playing Shadowbane when the lore server comes, I will be on that server. So come and fight me.

WoW is meant to be the working man's mmorpg. Not everyone can spend like 5+ hours a day on a game, they work, have families, and are just plain busy. Blizzard realized this and decided to make a game for the casual player with PvP and class sets and rare items to collect for the more hardcore players. I mean in WoW you can play for an hour or two a day and not fall to far behind(granted you don't waste the time you are on) and still feel like you accomplished something in the game. Hardcore players might find this boring, or too easy or not enough end game content, but think about the people who barely get to play and I am sure they will say they are quite happy with the game, cause they can log on when they can and still be able to do things without falling far behind others.

Assuming you are telling the truth, then someone who is casual and work a LOT should see WoW as a game designed for them?

I dont see how someone who work a lot and dont spend tons of time can earn Onyxia gear, or any raiding gear!

Unless they are happy to be second class heroes, non-dedicated players who happen to have a RL are just as equally devoid of reaching the top in WoW then in EQ. Reaching level 60 or 20 dont change much, you are still backward. In fact, reaching 60 might even be worser to a point, since you are competing for groups with peoples who earn Onyxia gear.

WoW is casual friendly. But it is not for the working man.

Reaching any point is useless if you cant master it, and if you cant kill Onyxia, you cant master level 60ish! All in all, been unable to get past level 20 and completely rocking the level 20 zones (better then a level 60 could even think of rocking it) would work better. But sound to me that thinking in a binary ways will take some times to get this concept in place. Might as well just remove and completely destroy raiding in anyform, will just save time for the working man ideal MMORPG.

The working man also like to EARN his stuff, and to RULE to the point where he is in any game. I am sorry, but without Onyxia gear, you are a joke on the server! *wave* secondclass hero, no good. The working man want to reach the TOP of what he work for, and WoW dont offer him that. So again, WoW is casual friendly, but not working man friendly. The point is not to be level 60, it is to be as good as possible in what they do, and in WoW, if you dont raid, you will never reach the top of anything, sorry, move along non-raiders, you are doomed to lack.

WoW is easy, but it require quite sometimes, and working hours dont cope well with raiding requirements. Easy...nothing wrong in it, but asking peoples to raid after an easy game, is just going to ask them to raid earlier, before, letting them enjoy the game less time and asking them to raid before...I hardly see how a game that enforce raiding faster can be considered as working man friendly. Casual friendly yes, uberguilds are crying babies who always complain at hell levels, at more levels, at more stuff to do, they like to sit on their *** when they are not raiding and think they rule the world because they can meet the time requirements of their guild. Easy and raid oriented is what WoW is all about. Yadda trash talk about solo friendliness, a soloer in WoW is just a blind fool who dont see he lack and is extremely backward...a soloer in WoW is like using a puppy as a hunting dog...LOL, I am sure the puppy make big fun, for a moment, but a puppy make fun in others setting, prolly make less fun hunting then would at home doing others stuff.

Thunder- · August 2005

WoW is the best mmorpg out there in my opinion. It is part of a whole new era, the era of casual game play. Many may not like it, but many more do like it. So this is a game that will go in the record book for many reasons.

Anofalye · August 2005

I like casuals games.

I hate raiding games that are enforced on non-raiders.

WoW is both.

PS: I prefer hardcore non-raiding games, but I strongly enjoy and like casual non-raiding games.

PPS: WoW is merely an overgrown EQ tutorial IMO...proof: Play WoW for a year, then play EQ, you still have stuff to learn, a LOT of stuff...just like when you play a tutorial. Do the reverse, play EQ for a year, then goes to WoW, there is so little new stuff that you hardly notice or focus, it just come naturally in...WoW is thin at best...but I prefer to see it as an overgrown EQ tutorial.

PPPS: I dont enjoy shooters, but since they are not enforced on me when I play my solo RPG or my grouping RPGs, I cant hate them, I just dont care about those shooters. Raiding games are sneakily enforced on me when I never want to play them to start with.

Yeebo · August 2005

Hey Anofayne. I respect you for fighting the good fight for soloing in MMORPGs.

But I'm surprised to see you jumping on the "WoW is a kiddie game" bandwagon. It's actually one of the best games out for soloers with short blocks of time. Why?

1. Any class can solo well if specced correctly.

2. The majority of quests are soloable.

3. Crafters can make epic gear that is almost as good as raid gear through an arduous series of solo crafting quests.

In fact, I would argue that the wild success of WoW is what has prompted SOE to enhance the soloing game in EQ II and EQ. I also think that because of WoW it is going to much less likley for companies to release future products where there is nothing fun to do solo (or where the bulk of classes can't function solo).

So why is Anofayne, the leading proponent of soloing in MMORPGs on thes boards, bashing WoW? Is is becuase the instances and end game raids can't be soloed? Just curious, not trying to flame you

Anofalye · August 2005

Who solo best?

The guy who solo all the way to level 60 and never did anything else?

Or the guy who is fully raid geared at level 60?

I bash any game that got a silly answer like WoW on this topic. And I never say WoW is lame or trash, I say it is an overgrown EQ tutorial. What they change in SoE hardly affect my life, a soloer is, will always be, backward, when the best soloers are raid geared.

Solo uberness belong to soloers! The best soloer on the server need to be someone who earn EVERYTHING solo. I respect someone that is a better soloer then me because he EARN it and deserve it solo. If someone solo better then me because he group, raid, play pac man, rule Battlefield 2 or whatever other reason, then I scowl and dont respect the game who have such a lame system.

On this topic WoW is not better then EQ, it is just less bad, yet even that is arguable since a soloer may not access the same zones as the raiders in EQ and thereby wont see and realize how weak their toons are until the raiders show links and open their yaps. I play to make FUN. Been backward, at level 1 or 60 or 2000 is still been lame. The best soloer NEED to be a soloer. Been "able to level to 60" is like been able to take the bus, but only sit in the back, not in the front.

A soloer is NOT a crafter. A soloer CAN be a crafter, a raider, a grouper(like me) or just anything else, but basically a soloer is nothing but a soloer, and everything a soloer needs should be inside soloing. Almost as good is not enought. As good is not enough either, WTF if they dont solo, they dont deserve to be good at soloing! Best soloers needs to be soloers, period. I dont care if a soloer cant do anything else but soloing, but it needs to be the same on the other way, if the soloers cant do an activity (IE raiding for example), then this activity should not reward for soloing either.

PS: I am mostly a grouper, but I hardly see the needs to defend my grouping tastes or sides, it is quite safe...my minority aspect, my soloing side, is always endanger because game make solo lame for some reason. Solo hardcoreness and worthyness exist just as much and as well in the "high end" as anywhere else, only someone who dont like soloing will say otherwise.

Bobiin · August 2005

Well said.

I do not like WoW either. I dot not like EQ2.

Both games are so mediocre and un-innovative (cept for EQ2's crafting system, which i liked), it gives me a head ache.

Lookin forward to Vanguard!

Oh En1gma, you should totally open that up to the public as a read only forum

The EQ2 forums have this section called the Glass House, it's where flame infested trolled topics go to die and the stuff that pops up on there is so hillarious to read, you can spend an afternoon just laughing yourself past boredome .

Tatsit · August 2005

Wow is only succesful because of blizzards past reputation from games like Warcraft 1-3, Starcraft, diablo I/II

To someone who came from these games and FPS, and such - really enjoy this game because its there first experiance with an mmorpg -- but that creates the problem wow had from launch, a crapy community because half are kids with no real understanding of what a good community is.

Experianced mmo players, tend to bore of this game rather quickly - to me wow is like an arcade game style mmo. its quick and fast pased but everything is on the surface - wow lacks any depth - and they should have stuck with the idea's that towns in contested lands are vulnrable for take over by either side - BG is ok, but if you wanna game with really good BG play DAoC

The only reason i still play wow, is because my wife loves it - and my guildies, until something better comes along thats deep immersive then ill just wait it out and move my guild when the time is right.

my 2 cents
