Ok, first of all this is a rant and it's supposed to be and lets keep in mind that these are my opinions, im just trying to raise some questions while im at it.
Before I get to the serious subjects I must point out that I've "only" been playing WoW for two years and I have no former MMORPG experience.
So, the question... Why do I still keep playing? After all these changes, an expansion every 6-12 months and still humble to the devs about the class imbalances.. Not to mention the only justification for the expansions BC/WotLK being money. I still remember the old days, pre-TBC, when 99,8% of all the gamers were dreaming of joining the top guild on the server and maybe getting to raid Naxx or something.
That usually ended up as a dream..
Then there came BC, 10 more levels (YAY!). NOBODY enjoys leveling, and I mean nobody, if you disagree you are just lieing to yourself and me... Don't push it a-hole, nobody likes to level.. Only thing that everybody had in their minds was how to get to 70 the fastest, some did it really quick, some did not. But that isn't the point.. Pre-TBC there used to be a line between PvP and PvE and that line was shattered really bad. I remember when I was doing PvP in a really nice guild pre-TBC that whenever we met some premade with T3 it was almost hands-down give-up, because PvE gear was way superior than PvP. Yes it was, but I do praise Blizzard for introducing resilience. I HATE them because they pretty much shot the effort for PvP sky-high, by making EVERYONE possible to get the items..
All you need to do is Q AV, lay down, hit space some minutes and watch TV while your at it. Not to mention the LAME requirement for 10(?!) games per week?! I mean come on 10?? TEN games?! That is the only requirement for success? Are you %!%%ing serious?! And dont get me started about the reporting possibility, its just a way for the GM/CM/Dev's and other money swimming a-holes to get around their jobs.
And to another subject, I do think that caster classes are way too overpowered in this game atm, especially if you look at the arenas... Whenever you meet a group with say 2, 3 or 5 caster classes, and say your team has 2-3 melees, there is no freaking way you will win them... Doesn't matter how you roll the tactics, you wont. Dont even bother writing because it's %!%%ing impossible.
Maybe my rant is too PvP oriented, I admit but thats where I'm from..
Dont really have much rants about PvE because it's pretty much just point and click, and thats it... Then you just wait for the purples.. Well that is if you know the right persons IRL and get a good raidgroup.
What about WotLK? ANOTHER 10 levels? Come on.. Blizzard already tried to make up for the 10(-20) levels for the newcomers by making leveling a little bit easier but in my opinion they will just shoot their self in the leg! MAKE MORE CONTENT, DONT EXTENT IT! But guess that doesn't matter when money talks and bull*@## walks. Nerf this, nerf that, buff this buff that... Death Knights? Poor.
And for the last question.. Why do I keep playing?
I dont know, I have met a bunch of good people in this game, good friends and I would hate to leave them and after this I am sorry to leave them.. So is the answer sociality? I guess yes, but IRL will offer that also.. But still, theres nothing wrong with the community, you guys are awesome, this game is just beginning to be crap tbh.
Personaly I'm tired of WoW, it has nothing to offer anymore, everything is a f*cking walk thru the woods and there is no more achievement, there is just point and click and waiting for the highest level. Guess the only option I have is to wait for another MMORPG that makes the same kind of an impact and watch how their devs get creedy and bastards..
WH:O / Age Of Conan... Oh well, same sh*t in a differnt can.
Ok.. well thats the rant then, flame all you want.
