I'm a serious altaholic when it comes to WoW and I have been since day one. With having the ability to log in and just level, work on getting a trade up, or out collected mats, I always have something to do if I choose to log in. But this is the first time in 6 years that I have been wanting to call it quits.

I'm not sure if it's the game that has run its course for me or I'm just getting older and realizing I've been playing too long, lol. I am having fun when I am playing still, but at the end of the nights session, that thought of the repetitiveness of the game keeps coming up and it never has before.

I like the expansion but as many have posted before, it does seem very easy now and just not much of a challenge. Getting to 85 is fairly simple time wise as is leveling from 1. I started my 1 worgen last week and even w/ no heirlooms he hit 50 today. ToA was my DAoC killer, and I can see Cata doing it here for me. I guess time will tell.

" Cataclysm predicted to be the "WoW-killer" we've all been expecting "


I don't think WoW will be killed, I think at some point, in time, the numbers will go down. They have such a long way to go before it stops being profitable that I'm surprised to hear gaming vets even bring up the term WoW-killer.


CAT obviously won't kill WoW. Their churn will keep going. Again they can lose a butt load of subs and still be, by far, the king of the hill.


Now, if/when the numbers start to go down, would they address things like the arenas and afk'ing (seriously address them)? I'm thinking no.

Cataclysm isn't an expansion, it's an extension -- an extension of the same stuff all over again.

It really seems like a hybrid. I mean it is an expansion, they did expand the game, but I agree it doesn't have the same look and feel as previous expansions to me.


Okay so above I was a little curt, basically, doing the same dungeons over and over - there are a lot of things to do in WoW, but there are a lot of things to do not in WoW, not limited but including other games.


Arc I think you took a break from WoW before, I would say maybe try that again, especially when another game comes out that, while maybe not as good, is new and a little different.


And the WoW churn continues to go. I'm surprised by it, I assumed more people would feel like I did, but that's a common mistake many of us make.

Turbo tanks in Strand of the Ancients = brilliant idea

i want to have something fun to do on my lev 85 so bad but its so sad that i am right where i was during wotlk.


i wish at least you could queue for a dungeon while in a battleground or in a group or something. i want to do heroic dungeons but i have to wait for 40 minutes....during which i cannot group with anyone, do a battleground, log out for a sec to mail something from my alt, etc. or else it will take me out of the queue. so lame. and most of the groups end prematurely so its not even worth a 40 min wait just to break up quickly.


world of waitcraft. there is nothing to do while in queue except stand around like an idiot or archaeology, which is so boring.

Wow, you can't help someone with a quest? It's not like the pvp thing where it just pulls you in by yourself?

i guess you could help them without being in their group. but if you enter a group while in dungeon queue as a solo, it removes you from the queue. no warning or anything either...just removes you and your screwed if you didn't know about it.

I am enjoying it, but I'm thinking I won't last very long this time around. It's just more of the same, and more friends have left, so even doing "the same" is getting harder.

I find SotA far more exciting and interesting now that the tanks can actually move, but also be snared/rooted.
