Poll: Is WoW still good?

[Yvl9921]

Quality wise, it's the best it's ever been.

But people are just starting to get bored of it. It's happening everywhere I look. No matter how great something is, it's human nature to get bored of it after long enough.

I tried Cataclysm after not playing since the end of the Burning Crusade. I started a new character and leveled to 60 before I stopped liking it. I stopped liking it because I felt like I was playing Internet: The Game instead of World of Warcraft. Every time I entered the mood of being a budding hero some in-game reference to pop or Internet culture would slap me back to reality.

I have said that WoW has always been terrible and that I'd quit any day. This is usually accompanied by clicking open WoW and sinking a good portion of my day into it. Anyway, I've forgotten where I'm going with this... Oh yeah, resilience ruined WoW for me, turning PvP from who's the better player to who has the bigger numbers.

..
LOL.

Okay. Yeah, because people back in the day fared extremely well against t2+ raiders and such.

WoW stopped being good after the first expansion came out. Vanilla WoW, oh, Vanilla WoW... Where art thou, Vanilla WoW?

Agreed, there used to be petitions up to have "Vanilla servers" for people who wanted that epic feel it had back in the day. Unfortunately, Blizzard pretty much gave them the finger and they seem to have vanished. Probably quit, like myself.

And how would you run dedicated vanilla servers? Start from the first patch and make a timeline for when you put out patch releases and hold off even on hotfixing bugs til major patches like they would do back in the day? Seriously, the prospect of how it would even work out boggles my mind when people ask for this. You don't flip a switch.

Blizzard will keep giving those people the finger. They don't support previous patches of SC2 do they? You play the latest patch. WoW is, essentially, one game that constantly evolves.


The fact that vanilla wasn't super amazing makes it really depressing.

Snip.

Oh wow. The combination of that post and your username is just so ironic I can taste it. But yeah, I know it was wishful thinking. I do remember someone did come up with a viable way to do it but I can't remember what it was.
