Why did YOU quit WoW?

[astarothel]

WoW had voicechat from the get go. I think that's one reason why it's so underestimated in comparison. Progression rates on encounters would have been easily halved in classic WoW and up to BC.

It seemed much easier because of technological reasons outside of the game(voicechat, G15s), coupled in game with a much more fluid ui and macro system.

Truth, voicechat did make classic wow 100x easier than classic EQ.

I always find it funny when people say this. Leveling up, yea, cakewalk. BWL & AQ? Not ridiculously difficult, but definitely far more difficult than anything EQ Classic->Velious

^^^ THIS.

Also how is not leaving a city except when you do an instance run any different than sitting around in EC until its time to go camp the next raid target? WoW expansion zones have better loot than previous content areas just the same as EverQuest's expansion zones.

I enjoy classic EQ because of the "feel" it has but make no mistake the only hard part about EQ is finding the time to invest into it.

Because it ruins the "size" of the world. The world is a joke when all you have to do is sit in town your whole life. Why bother having the world there at all? Why not just make the next expansion one big town with ores, plants, and trades to do, and then just make magical planar instances you teleport to?

Also, WoW expansion zones had better loot, yes, but WAY better loot. At least in EQ, new trash loot was better than old trash loot, and new raid loot was better than old raid loot. In WoW, new trash loot was better than old raid loot, which was retarded.

too easy, everything is done by add-on's.

i started raiding in 3.0, my druid was best geared char world wide for all of 3.0. no diversity in gear and no rare items. no, glaives, healing mace, shadowmourne isnt rare.

game just caters to idiots who cant think.

I don't get it... you say the game caters for idiots but then describe a mechanic it throws at them that they obviously don't understand and that you had to instruct them to deal with yourself.
