To all World of Warcraft Players out there

[Gearek]

If you play WoW, post pictures and lvl/class of your chars and discuss your gear!

I like WoW, but I almost never talk about it in real life, its just not that interesting to talk about I find...

 

[timmytom1]

...This is pretty much why I stopped playing WoW.

I can't imagine anything less stimulating than talking about "gearz."

No offense.

Also, Welcome to The Escapist, but most people here dislike WoW, for whatever reason.

I wouldn`t say it`s that many(who dislike WOW) ,i for one don`t like WOW but then again i just don`t see the fun in grinding ,any MMO that can remove the serious grind i might try.

EDIT:To the OP wecome to the escapist,hope you enjoy your time here

Remember, there's always someone in your guild with better gear and you DPS will always be too low for the raid group.

I don't dislike WoW personally, I just don't have time to play it anymore. Well, that and the arrogant raid leaders...

 

[Sprogus]

Oh god, talking about WoW outside of WoW is so boring. Even when I was playing it one of my friends would never shut up about it. It really isn't a very exciting conversation topic.

With a title like that, I was expecting this to be a flaming thread.
Speaking of which, flaming swords, anyone?

 

[Curtmiester]

UHHHHHHH. I don't know what to say. Welcome I guess, your muffins will be there soon.

Funny, my friend plays Shaiya, and Maplestory. Both are mainly grind based games, and he laughs at the thought of only grinding for 5 hours. Wow on the other hand, I have NEVER grinded on. Also, I respect your opinions on not wanting to talk about 'gearz' and was just trying to create a discussion. And being new to the forum, I didn't realize the dislike that Wow has in these forums. I'm just used to browsing WOW forums where everyone is up for a discussion about their latest achievement or piece of gear. Also, I was just trying to see if anyone played WOW. If you ever play Wow, you can message me and I can show you a great guide for leveling. Have fun posting...or trolling...XD

Played since Beta on the original back on '04, as of February this year, I am 100% done with WoW. The direction and method of play is getting worse and less fun with every patch, forcing players to reroll just to enjoy the game, and the reward scheme is truly horrible, and has escalated even worse.

Days upon days wasted and for what effort? Sure, no other game shows, but hell, at least I get to do other things that are fun, and not a second job that I pay for and get my bum kicked left and right (and not just pvp, I do a fair amount of PvE...and play a healing Priest!).

Mate, don't try it. The escapist is fair, democratic and unbiased in it's asshat habit of bashing anything it thinks deserves it. Because it's a big mob, they never see any dissent and it grows to godly levels. It starts polite, but soon it will disolve into WoW-bashing. I would love to have to eat my words about this, I would adore to be proven wrong and made to look like an idiot, but I doubt it will happen. WoW, like Halo, is one of those things you're not allowed to like if you want your opinion to be valid. 'You play WoW, you have no life and can be ignored.'

I salute your efforts, but feel obliged to warn you.

I don't discuss gear, except to wish for more fist weapons, and to comment that I kept my Hunter in cloth armor for 35 levels because it looked better.

So...my favorite gear is the stuff I make myself. It appeals to my inherent bias towards self-sufficiency to make my own ammunition, and it adds a personal touch when I blast the ever-loving snot out of some dark dwarves with the Moonsight Rifle I crafted myself, with the moonstone I risked my low-level ass for looking in the Wetlands. That's really the only reason I stick with Engineering, I think.

I like putting the "RP" in MMORPG, solo style.

 

[Gearek]

I do agree, Mischiviktus, that WoW was much better in the old days, with MC raiding and such. And thanks for the advice Ultrajoe. I was hoping this thread would be directed solely to people who play WoW, so we could have discussion.

You know, I did that same thing, but with leather armor on my Tauren warrior.

Having a Tauren wear metal just feels... wrong. It's like making a snake swim.

 

[Gearek]

NeutralDrow, I think that's cool that you make your own gear. All I have is skinning, and use it to farm money. But that's what the game is for. To 'RP' your own way and to have fun =D.

But I do agree, certain races look MUCH better with certain gear.

Aren't RP servers full of:

a) nerds that pretend to be characters in an MMORPG (where they die and magically teleport back to town)
b) assholes that try spoiling it for the rest?

 

[Gearek]

There are also people trying to have fun with the video game. It's not all inhabited with people that have this belief that they are someone in the game. And B is soooo true...
