WoW isnt hack & slash. If thats what u want from a game, never play it. In WoW u need strategy to kill enemies, and both strategy and discipline to kill the bosses. now to turn down some points the ones before me said:
Wtf is up with bind on pick up and bind on equip shit? That fucking ruins the economy.
BoP items make sure the economy stands. In fact it makes it impossible to sell used/instance items that are supposed to be awarded for progressing in the end-game and ofc keep the gold of the players in their pockets and not making it useless (pretty much like it is in Diablo). And WoW boss fights aint slow. Just cause some/most spells arent instant it doesnt mean its slow. It just requires tactic (aggro control maybe?) that in Diablo it wasnt even there.
IN D2 U WERE OUT THE TOWN AND ALL MONSTERS OF THE MAP STARTING HUNTING U......THAT WAS FUNNY BECAUSE WITH ONE SPELL THEY WERE ALL DOWN!!!!
is that a good thing? i mean, brainlessly killing hordes of enemies by clicking a button? how old are u, 5? I want more than that. yea, might be fun for a short time, but i have more fun killing and feel i achieved something when i kill a new boss in WoW, or when i manage to solo some extra hard enemies/rare bosses. In that Diablo and any hack & slash game just aint enough. the fact "i'll zeal and leech life and mana till the boss/enemies are down" doesnt make u feel like u actually did something after u do the kills. Only the fact there are more loot drops in Diablo than in WoW, but getting all u can get that fast and easy aint that fun either.
Unlike Diablo and the rest of the Hack & Slash games, WoW is a MMORPG. U cant compare elements of it, or say it sucks cause u dont have an IWIN button (1 spell to destroy everyone). Those games are single player titles with coop options. Nothing like a completely multiplayer game, that requires teamplay to see the best the game has to offer.
it doesnt compare to D2, thats the main mistake people in this forum do. It has different development team (doesnt take the effort of the developers in Blizzard, thus doesnt delay D3), different budget (has more income than any Diablo game too, so it doesnt take the money that could be used for a possible development of other Blizzard games) and is a different kind of game (MMORPG and not a single player hack & slash RPG). people here do the mistake not to consider those facts.
As a game WoW is a pretty good MMORPG with really many things to do. I like it anyway.
thats the main reason you should always talk to people that actually play the game. And listen to those that like and dislike it. That will show u good and bad parts of the game and u will have it better to choose if u like it or not
(talking about all games now, not just WoW, D2 etc). I usually test the game first before deciding, though. Demos and Trials (to the MMORPGs) are pretty good ways to see how it feels.
I'm not gonna lie. From around 25-45 the game is rather dry and boring. But once you hit 50 it picks back up again. About 75% of the funpart of the game opens up at 60.
Diablo 2 is boring after the first few years. Battle.net now sucks cause of the lags, dupes, pks etc. WoW has comfort like no other.
I already have 2 lvl 60 characters in WoW. and numerous alts from lvl 41 and down. When u start playing, u just cant stop. Worst part is lvl 35-40, when u need mount and cant get any, yet. Then it gets bit more group oriented and thus more fun.
do any of you guys do molten core or bwl or summin like that? 40-man slaughtering... one of the things we live for...turned out not to be worth it in the end though
This is one of the things I hate about WoW... you can only get good loot by spending hours doing a 40 man instance... and then theres a chance that you wont get anything at all. I was into MC at first, then we got up to BWL and I was excited... but it's just a huge waste of time in the end. I'd rather just go out and get wasted with my friends.
Haha great idea Darkjay, hey we should run this buy our lord for the new slogan for world of warcraft.
wow (WoW) that sucks!
hahah what do you guys think ahhaha. I do hate that game man, who the fuck wants to wait in line to fucking fight someone. Are they out of their damn minds. Whatever. I don't even care anymore about it. Let people play it, I don't care. As long as I have my diablo II by my side then I am fine

All power resides in the mind, let it be unleashed, to those unsure let it overwhelm and eventually, destroy
MMORPGs = grind games. Games that require hours and many people to achieve things. If u dont like it, its ok, but The game is the best MMORPG there is, atm.
BwL, MC, AQ 40 and now Naxxramas have been (and some are) the biggest challenges this game has. The guild system thats integrated in this game helps to that goal. Organize people to achieve these goals in the game. Time is required of course, thats something u got to offer if u want to play a MMO. "Casual" gamers shouldnt exist. And even though they shouldnt exist, Blizzard did something about them (solo/5-man quest chains to upgrade item sets, after the next patch there will be cross-realm battlegrounds - literally no queues for PvP - and other stuff to help those not in bigger guilds to achieve some goals in the game too).
All those who whine do that cause they have to pay for it. And for the services we get, its worth it.
after about 1.5 years WoW had server upgrades, 11 major patches (that added content), countless minor (that fixed bugs) and is about to release an expansion. Most of that cause people pay for it. We (the gamers) give Blizzard the way to do their job better. If we wouldnt pay, we'd get less patches, worse server quality etc. Something like Battle.net ^^

"its better to remain silent and let the others unsure wether you're an idiot or not, than open your mouth and prove it."
this is kind of off topic, but alkaline, your sig is 100% true and i agree with that runescape is a gay ass rip off of diablo. Just for little kids to play it and think they're gamers..

in my opionon, WoW is one of the worst RPG's ive played for a couple reasons
None of them are valid, so I count your reasons at zero. That's not a couple of reasons, stupid. That's a pile of bullshit.

Congratulations, I don't know how many pages this thread has to be, filled with the same explanation over and over again, before you realize that just because the MMO is p2p is no reason to bitch. If it's not a good MMO in your opinion to begin with, the price should have no significance.
boring quests- i feel asleep doing some
Damn, I was kinda hoping that you would have killed yourself and spared us the stupidity. You want excitement? Go skydiving...without a parachute.
wasnt true to series-i wanted strategy, not some MMORPG shit
Umm....the masses are sort-of....disagreeing with you. I mean...6 million people world-wide don't mind that the series took a different direction.

I'll concede one thing, you certainly have a lot more credibility than the majority of these anti-WoW retards. However, your reasoning is weak and you should be ashamed.

Hell yeah, WoW sucks ass! I hope Blizzard doesnt make Diablo 3 like WoW, cuz that would just suck ass!
LOL I totlly agri! lik dood, ur reesoning is so gud. Except not. You can just go ahead and drink a tall frosty glass of the sweat of my balls, as I will not even grace your stupid post with my intelligent ranting.

I do hope that everyone else who reads this understands the invalidity of this point. It's weak, stupid, and doesn't need to be in this thread. Same goes for your presence, in general.
Are they out of their damn minds.
No, but you are.
Whatever. I don't even care anymore about it.
If you don't care anymore, I fail to see why you're still talking.
Let people play it, I don't care. As long as I have my diablo II by my side then I am fine
Good, now you can have a nice tall glass of Shut the Fuck Up.
i can uderstand hating stupid answers but you put down a lot of people's ideas and other post a lot on this site. ya know? thats just not cool. i cant really understand that or why you do it. why cant you do it in a nicer way at least in the future?

You can tell the same lie a thousand times but it never gets any more true so close your eyes once more and once more believe that they all still believe in you......
btw im level 60 have gone mc once, i lost all interrest in the game though...i dont know...its just like youre going nowhere slowly...WoW makes grinding/farming a chore whereas it was quite fun in diablo...
about grinding ur right, it can make u fall asleep, but its something every MMO has, most of the time in bigger quantities.
If u went in MC with the right guild u'd have alot fun (if u managed to stay alive that is, the rogues get really hurt in there - tried that once with my lvl 60 rogue alt this week). BwL, AQ (20 and 40), ZG and Naxxramas will make u love it there again. But whats really needed is to get into a good guild to experience that stuff.

Mutton is more offensive than i'd be, but i can understand thats one of the two possible ways to show people they're doing something wrong. Especially when it comes to expressing ur ideas u got to set valid points to explain it and maybe convince the others as well - if not its easy for others that can make their points to make u look like a fool. I like his ironic and sarcastic replies alot. Never happened to have me quoted, tho ^^
