Why did YOU quit WoW?

[Wrot]

I have quit at minimum until Cata, if not for good. I am not an apologist for the game but some of the info and opinions here just don't make a lot of sense.

The order in which you got yours on server doesn't mean anything, an exact date would be better. But even still it wouldn't matter because both of those achievements were relatively easy, so I can see how you think they were being given out. Did you get the Plagued Proto-drake? Black? Did you at least get the 25 version of your Rusted? Bloodbathed didn't require HM LK, when did you kill him? Months after your mount, if ever right?

Like .1% got to figure out and learn the end raids and everyone else just used scripted uis and shit...

Fucking heroics over and over with jackasses that you don't give two shits about cuz they are on diff servers...

images of sitting in dalaran looking at all the loser hardcores showing each other their exact same loot

You just sound like a guy who tried to play an MMO with no friends. You are in randoms with jackasses because everyone worth a fuck still groups together like they did before the lfg tool; and then they quit running those heroics because they don't need the badges that badly to continue raiding. You probably ran heroics 4 times as much as anyone that raided well. You don't get to be in a raid learning shit new, because you got no raid until it's pugged two months later with terribles that couldn't beat it w/o those addons. It sounds like if it weren't for the lfg tool and pug raids you wouldn't have done anything in the game.

Ridiculously bad community. Instanced everything and inter-server grouping allowed everyone to be utter dicks and not care because you would never see the people again.

You too guy? You realize the lfg tool didn't stop you from building groups like before right? You can still invite people on your server and zone in. I don't get why people complain about a system they can opt out of. And in case you have forgotten, pugging shit on server before the lfg tool set you up with retards too. Make some friends worth a shit.

Your pvp experience is low level unrated battlegrounds (twinks at that lol) and you are complaining about gear resets. Lol yeah, i guess the game is easy, if you do shit that a monkey wearing mittens could do.

Also who the fuck cares about gear resets, or how easy it is to get vanity rewards? Do you have no fun playing sports because your score isn't going to hold over next time you play? There is only one single reward, in WoW, EQ or any other MMO that means a fucking thing; it's the satisfaction of killing something difficult. If you are in all 277s right now, and you are pissed off that every single person will have better gear when they hit level 73 in Cata, you need to just stop. Now. You are playing for the wrong reasons.

I sympathize with yall who complain that terrible players make your raids harder than they should be. And it's true that if you log in and start sending random people tells, you will just get shit back. if you want to have fun right off, start with a group of friends or wait till you level up and make some. The game is full of retards. But with 10 million people playing around the world, what do you think you are going to find? If you have a good attitude there are guilds with good people who are happy to have you. Same goes for playing well.

Fuck I think I just tl;dr myself.

Planes tougher? Really? [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

As Nilbog said, the hardest part about WoW is getting your retarded ass guildmates that can't follow directions and can't fathom playing without a headset. Is it really that hard to Not stand in fire?

Ever face a prenerf Coirnav?

I raided with Insomnia on Tichondrius since about 3 months after WoW release, up until we cleared Ulduar (with some breaks in between). I have seen c'thun at his worst, enjoyed getting server first on everything in TBC, and enjoyed Yogg Saron / Algalon a lot. Wotlk was a horrendous expansion pack. Naxx was cleared within the first week, 3 drake became zergable with updated equipment/aoe classes. The implementation of easy/hardmode, 10/25, has really brought the game down from what used to be, a pretty fun raiding progression path. I would go back to vanilla wow in a heartbeat, my old server intact, hp's under 5k, attacks hitting for less than 48k. Zzz. The only thing re-playable for me WoW wise, is Arenas, and I'm still not willing to put in the work to get my character re-updated with resil.

(ps. The complaints about all these ui's/tools making raiding easy, is full of shit. Every MMO i've raided on has programs/tools to call out when timers are going off/events will take place. Nothing is different from that in WoW. Anyone who has cleared harder encounters in that game knows that it takes more than a timer to joust some AE's)

[Autotune]

Wotlk for me basically.

I quit when BC was released because they were forcing our raiding guild to drop players to accommodate the crappy guilds that couldn't manage 50 or so decent players. Which the only other option was to enlarge the guild and try to do 2 raids (not gonna happen). Also BC killed my shot at being the next in line to get Grandmarshal so it pretty much killed everything me and our guild/pvp group worked for.

Guild asked me to come back in BC. So I came back got used to the way things were. Hated raiding, couldn't stand the 10 man "raids" (how the hell do you call 10 people a raid?) and the 25 weren't much better. The raid encounters to me sucked compared to old MC/BWL/AQ40/Naxx (even though i hated AQ40 bugs).

Arena took some time to get in the hang of and enjoy. Finally did, worked my ass off to get caught up and actually get my S3 gear before it turned into freebies and then Wotlk is coming out.

Get the beta, try it out, hate it. Quit at the end of S3 and haven't looked back.

until now that Cata is coming out anyhow. It looks decent but is probably shit.


WTB Classic WoW.

[Greyhands]

It was to freaking easy when I could max my pally in 7 weeks its to freaking easy.......

[fugazi]

The game is too easy as it leaves the player with very little to do or think about. This might not be true for those few hardcore raiders that finish new raidzones before anyone else, but how many players %wise of the total playerbase are we talking about if so?

You google wow forum yourclass and check what talent spec to go with, or if you're feeling really adventurous you check out elitist jerks and read up on it a bit more. Then you pop on over to curse gaming, get a nice add-on pack and load up the game. You have your item database ready, your questhelper, your cartographer shows you all the maps and what level each area is and if that aint enough yet, you can always check one of the thousands of guides that tell you exactly where to level.

If they only seriously started restricting add-on's and UI's the game might just become better again. Right now, a player doesn't need to think at all. Even raiding is more 'listen to deadly boss mods!' than it is actually paying attention to whats happening on screen.

Oh and Im not gonna start about the dumbing down of dungeons, the LFG tool and deathknights. WoW had and still has potential, but Blizzard took notes of the wrong guy - SoE [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Same. WotlK raiding is also dreadfully boring. No CC required, huge margins for error, DPS is totally out of control.

WoW was never a terribly difficult game beforehand, but there were certain events that took skill and gearing (e.g. - in the past expansion: Lady Vashj). The only remotely challenging LK encounter without getting into achievements was Malygos, and that was only because mouthbreathers couldn't figure out how to press 1, 1, 3 or whatever it was.

[Tseng]

I quit during SSC as our guild was doing Vashj. Was just sick of it. My guild ended up being the second guild on our server to down her.

[luckynclover]

Main reason? the community in wow is freaking disgusting. Worst bunch of people ive ever dealt with in my life in a gaming community.

Other reasons?..Sooo many really bad players, like really bad, game is too easy to level. Once you quickly get to 80 nothing to do but gear grind. When you get a new 80 (i have 80 80's) you cant do shit with the new ones because you have to have a rediculous gearscore to do anything) I have a 6043 enhance shammy http://www.wowarmory.com/character-s...dan&cn=Voodduu and a 5660 holy paly http://www.wowarmory.com/character-s...&cn=Holyspells that basicly just sit doing nothing because i dont have time to do a steady raid anymore and the pugs are horrible.
