Cancel this week and give Rift a shot. Worst case, Rift should keep you entertained for a few months which is worth the cost.

this is pretty much my own conclusion. i barely log into wow right now because A. tired of things changing so much so fast(with most of them being silly or unneeded) and B. its just gotten a bit stale in general after years of playing it.

i'm not really that into rift but its different and it seems pretty stable and well thought out so worst case it keeps me occupied for a couple months. i'm a little irritated by how many similarities it bears to wow but at least the rift assaults and other stuff is new even if alot of interface and character abilities seem recycled. and who knows, maybe after playing it for a couple months i decide i really like it and i keep playing it. if not i can always come back to WoW after the devs have gotten this splurge of fix this, nerf that, out of their systems.

So why doesn't Blizz just make skills and spells change when in PvP arenas and BGs like in Guild Wars?
In Guild Wars for PvE, skills have one set of attributes, and when zoning into PvP areas they change to suite their balance requirements............



So many have asked this since day one that the developers were obviously never interested in that solution.

Rift is pretty good. I wont get into the (RETARDED) debate of what is better as that is based on personal opinion, but Rift is NEW and that means DIFFERENT and that means FUN (for a while).

Worth a shot for those bored or P/O'ed with WoW IMO.

Compared to the never-ending battle to balance classes through hotfixes? Seems pretty idiotic to me.

Cause adjusting base values and multipliers sounds way harder than completely redesigning the way every talent in the game works in pvp right?

Oh my bad, I forgot that there would be people who don't have simple reasoning skills reading here. Let me explain it to you so that you might understand since you are having trouble thinking for yourself. The time and effort that it would take to design a system in which you can change an ability's function depending on if you are flagged or not would no where near equal the amount of time they spend constantly balancing the abilities between PvP and PvE.

Now if that was a little too complicated for you let me know and I'll attempt to dumb it down a little more for ya.

Yeah, count me in on splitting PVE/PVP. I really enjoyed GW's take, along with the part where you only have 8 spells of some 100 you could take with you to battle.

ehh, never ending story :/
