No. I just got Cata two days ago...would actually like to play it.


The thing is....


If there is an aspect of the game you don't like chances are there is some one who never had the same 'crappy' experience you had. So that person will replace you, have fun, and make thier character work.


I say if you (the general you, no one specific) must leave, then go.


I really don't know if the point of this thread is to troll (90%) or to rally some kinda BS warcry.../shrug.

I found something else by accident.
It has become my new passion.

the problem with Cata is other than raiding pretty much all the new stuff gets old after a week or so.

I've found this expansion to be a total mess. It's not a real Blizzard product - Blizzard releases polished, fleshed-out, excellent games... this thing is still in late beta. It was released for Christmas profits (google 'Bobby Kotick' and then everyone at Bliz took a 2 week break...


So I'm rather ticked off at the moment, but I'm going to wait to see how much and how fast they fix all the broken crap. So we'll see.


Ultimately, it still gets down to the fact that there's nothing else out there. I'm glad some people are tickled by Rift, but I have no faith that it will be anything more than a 1-2 month distraction. As long as that's the case, I'll probably keep playing WoW, at least on and off.



This is kind of where we are. If we can make another game stretch 6 months or more before we come back to WoW, that's pretty good. I think a lot of the folks here that are looking at RIFT understand what it is at the moment. What it could become, who knows?


Knowing we would end back here, this time we're taking a different approach and just slowing down, rolling new race alts, and planning to enjoy the zones Blizz left alone (TBC/Northrend).


I also agree with the poster above who said there are 3 types of players: those that will defend a game no matter what, those that will abhor it no matter what, and those in the middle with a more balanced and/or seasoned perspective who can enjoy parts while admitting there is room for improvement in other areas.

There are those who play tank classes, and those that tank.
The weapon is only as good as the person wielding it.

Ultimately, until competition rises to Blizzard's level, this will continue to be the situation.


People are no longer putting up with half-baked, half-finished, half-thought out MMOs. These games last a half a year at best and less than a month at worse.


Trust me.


We've tried them all and we keep coming back to WoW.


The only competition, real competition, for Blizzard's subscribers is, ironically, another Blizzard product: Diablo III.


Sorry, but Rifts and Star Wars isn't going to do anything to change that. I wish it were otherwise, I really do, but it's not realistic.


Time will tell for certain.

The question is which of the usual "zomg the game sux I quit" trolls made a new account to post this.



I find this question amusing.

Why do you ask it, Korrigan? Is it because this is the kind of thing you would do?

You have made this accusation quite frequently recently...

Is it your guilty conscience coming to the forefront??

Any new poster is always "a troll" making a new account to you..which is ironic, because none of the "trolls" have any problem whatsoever putting you in your place with their normal account.

And of course, if this person has one post, and states how awesome the expansion is, well we already know that opinions are fine as long as they are the same as yours.


One day you will realize that there are actually people with opinions that differ from yours, and that theirs are just as valid.

Until that day, just keep on being you. Ignorant, childish, and completely oblivious to the world around you.

Happy new year.

To the OP: Welcome to the boards. I personally am not leaving WOW, as I am enjoying the expansion. Nevertheless, thank you for your candid opinion.

If you think my opinion is idiotic, re-read yours.
Dont worry I will give my opinion anyways.
The PvP MMO is NOT a "niche" market, Mythic is just a "niche" company.

honestly i've been pretty impressed with the redone content. the booty bay quests, the plaguelands quests...all very well done. can't comment on the end game yet because i haven't touched it.

playing any one game for over 5 years seems like alot to me. i can only think of 3 games that have kept my attention for that long. AC, FFXI and WoW. you can only do so much with a game and eventually you need something different. the problem though is everything that's "new" seems like a wow clone so its kinda hard to find something new even if you are bored of wow. so the only reason i'm not thinking of leaving wow is because i see very few alternatives. this has become something i do to relax and kill time, i don't think i've ever actually felt the excitement i used to in AC and FFXI with WoW. i'd like to come across something that has me excited to play again but for now my gaming just seems to be something i do when i have nothing better to do.

I have no intention of leaving anytime soon. This expansion does have me considering other games, though.

Oops...can I say I like some parts of WoW and not others and still remain unlabeled? /tremble
