I had to take a break 1 week into Cataclysm due to personal reasons, but when it came time to return a week later, I really didn't want to, so I didn't.

It wasn't fair to my guild anyways to pop in and out on my own whims; it is not responsible as a leader, and it has been a long time since I've been that. As such, Ayla has been handed the reigns, something she really has had for many months already.

I'm not done with WoW, I'm sure, but I really need more than the usual break between expansions.

I Quit after 1 month of Cata, I felt the game was playing me rather me playing a game.

-Log in do daily proffesion quests
-Do 1 heroic
-Try find certain classes for areana ( lock/DK )

Blizzard has lost the plot, their games use to be fun, now they are just about making money, keep you grinding aslong as possible while their cash tills ching.

Yep, I'm not logging in any more either. I've played since open beta with just a few breaks. After much anticipation, Cata has just not been that exciting. I did enjoy the new content for a few weeks, but formula is just pretty much the same stuff with new dressing.

The new zones are fine (a little too linear), but 80-85 is pretty quick and feels way less compared to say what Outland and Northrend were. It feels like half the number of dungeons, half as much content, half as many levels, no new classes, no new professions (except archaeology -- what a joke). The new races' starter content takes you half as far as Belf/Draenei with half the effort. New battlegrounds? Yeah right WSG 2.0 and AB 2.0 but smaller. Don't get me started on TB. Then there are standing problems that they have done nothing innovative to solve. Nothing innovative to help DPS queues -- (no queueing from other toons or making it possible to PVP or do something else productive during that time).

They phoned it in.

On top of not being innovative, I see Blizzard doing more and more for merely profit alone;. First it was race changes, authenticators, then race changes on new races on day 1. Some even speculate they have been strategically nerfing and un-nerfing races to get people to keep switching. My guess is Activision. Oh well...I'd love to see them turn things around, but it doesn't seem likely.

I'm checking out Aion 2.1 (haven't played since 1.9) until Rift starts. Frankly, I like some things about Rift, and I expect it to hold me a few months--beyond that I don't know. The "end game" is still a mystery. Like Mithan, I really would like something new, and I really don't know what that is.

Good luck to Mithan and everybody else.

I always had that feeling but never really got behind "when it happened".

Does anybody know when WoW wasn`t being developed by RPGers anymore?
Was that since the beginning or since Activision popped up ;D?

Frankly the mold is breaking at this point. You can only pour in so much stuff until the mold needs to be replaced. Activision has removed any notion of innovation from its products and is purely attempting to iterate on things they know work. Unfortunately, this is starting to bite them in the ass. Guitar Hero was the first victim of their shortsighted nature.

I have to give you guys credit for trying Cata!

I seen the mess before it hit the shelves. Canceled then.

I have until April then my sub is up. I dont think I will log in again though. I popped in on my Sub Rogue right after the lastest patch to check DPS for about 15 minutes and the was about it. Like everyone else, Im bored with the game, how linear and unimaginative it has become. I will throw in, I think GC and his vision wasnt a good fit for the continuing future of the game.


Ill definitely continue to post on this board in the future but not as a current WoW player.

Same for my wife and I, we still love the game, but we just don't love playing it, if that makes any sense. I think the problem for us is they made the leveling so short there just wasn't a sense of accomplishment, and gear doesn't really do that for us, we would rather level then be at max level grinding for gear, rep, and gold.

I wonder if Korrigan and company will have the balls to come here and tell Mithan that since you have canceled you need to stop posting on this board now too


Even if they do, I bet they tap dance around their typical rude and snide demeanor
