First I didnt like it because of the fact that "only nerds played it", however then I tried it, and now I dont like it because its repetetive. Sure its fun for a while, but I get bored easily when forced to do the same thing over and over again.
Poll: This is why I don't like World of Warcraft:
- Thread starter AcacianLeaves
- Start date
It's repetitiveness, from 1 to 80(now 85) as you level your character will be doing the same cookie cutter missions over and over again. Also when I level capped it was so god damned boring running the same set of instances over and over again to grind up justice point to buy gear so you wouldn't be insta-killed the first time you set foot in a raid.
It was fun while it lasted but stagnated quickly, like I knew it would before I bought it.

i used to like it but i realized its just grinding and grinding and grinding all the time.
and since when is a 2 or 3 hour dungeon not long enough? i have shit to do! i have other games to play! do you want me to waste 6 hours of my 14 hours of conciousness on ONE dungeon?! fuck that and fuck you!

I played for years, but as afore mentioned, the community is toxic, and that coupled with a general boredom of the game killed it for me. Im not saying everyone who plays WoW is an elitist douche or a clueless douche, just most of them. Its not just that though, it's far too scripted, and while that works up to an extent, after a while it becomes bored. Sandbox MMO all the way.
I like free-for-all, hardcore PvP MMORPGs. Ultima Online style where anyone and every could attack you and rape your rotting corpse of everything you own... yeah, hardcore. Darkfall and Mortal Online are the only newer ones that capture this.
I find those worlds are more likely to resemble actual societies where people hold themselves accountable for upholding certain standards and form their own set of laws and rules, rather than be forced to adhere to scripted ones. Criminals actually act like criminals and others treat them as such. If someone's being an ass-hat and stealing all your kills, you can stab them in the back and rob them when they're dead.
The irony is, I rarely ever participated in the PvP. Just the thrill of surviving a trip from point A to point B was all I needed to get the adrenaline flowing. WoW never even came close to this. Half the time I would end up falling asleep while traveling. If you fall asleep while playing a game, then something is definitely wrong.

I'm a veteran, but I'm one of those weird ones that never paid any attention to mods xDpejhmon said:Titan quest has been doing that for quite a while now >.>Archemetis said:
Just thought that I'd let ya know
So I did not know about that one.
I liked WoW very much from what I played of the free trial. Unfurtunatly, I do not have the money to pay the subscription though. So I guess I do not like WoW because of that.
This. I didnt see it in the poll, so i pressed "other". I've played Warcraft at my cousin's before, and I can understand why some people might get addicted. The only reason I wont get it is I think its incredibly stupid (no offence to MMO players) to buy a game and then have to pay to use it.imahobbit4062 said:
I dislike it because it was designed to waste your time, there may be enough content for an actual full game, but the way it is laid out you are required to spend hundreds of hours before you can see it all.
I really don't see what people like about it. FIrst of all. THis is one of the only games yoy can't play fore ever. If I buy tetris I can still play it for 50 years, unless it or the handheld brakes. If i buy WoW i have to buy it 60 day's later again. I know i have to buy membership cards, but there more expensive than the game. And teh combat isn;t fun and it lokes really ugly by todays standerts.
To all the people who complain about other players:
Ignore List (Or even Report Spam if you want to ignore their whole account)
To all the people who say the quests are repetitive:
I suppose YOU can come up with several thousand unique quests without repeating a single thing?
To all the people who say it's nothing but grind/repetitive:
Games are nothing BUT grind/repetitiveness.
FPS games are just shooting the same enemies on the same levels over and over.
RTS games are just building the same troops on the same maps over and over.
Other MMOs and RPGs are just the same as WoW.
You can't really call WoW out on it without calling out every other game in existence out on it (Though then again mindlessly bashing WoW does supposedly make you "cool"...)

After a certain point the game ceases to be form of entertainment and more of just a grind and tedious boredom. I should not be bored by a product that is designed to have me escape and be entertained. And the game makes you pay monthly for...what? A now overly self entitled raging nerdy socially awkward community, raids that make things overly clusterfucky and take several DAYS to complete, and...virtual armor? Like seriously, once you hit level cap, the sense of accomplishment is taken away. "Oh? More armor?" What for? More raids? I'm sorry their just not entertaining enough to warrant the time commitment or money spent.
I never liked WoW, or most other MMOs, because it costs me money after I already bought it, and it just plays itself for you. You click on monster, wait for it to die, click on next monster, rinse and repeat, while occasionally clicking on another monster you realize is draining your health faster. You watch this go on and hope that your stats are high enough that you don't die before the last one dies. It's just incredibly boring.
I thought the game was pretty fun but I had too issues with it. For one, it sucks up way too much time. I mean really, the creators of WoW could have made leveling requirements and instances go by a bit faster, most people who play this work and can't stay online for all eternity. My other point is it's hard to find a good community. I got frustrated with some of the players which made the experience what it shouldn't have been.
