That's funny, so many people quitting because cata is to challenging. It's completely opposite for me, the only reason i'm still playing is because it's challenging. I took a break from wotlk after like two months because it was way to easy, and didn't even come back until two months before cata came out. Arenas can be rough against the right group, but there are just as many teams I destroy with 4 shaman. I just don't understand complaining because you can't easily get to a 2k rating multiboxing. Cap out every week, get your gear and destroy people in rated bgs. And don't worry, they're hardcore nerfing pretty much every heroic, even the really easy ones, because of people wining and quitting. But you're right, quitting wow is way easier than improving your skills as a boxer and downing some content. But that's just my opinion, and you're right, it is just a video game and at the end of the day if you don't enjoy it why waste money on it.

Not sure people are quitting because it is hard. Long and a little annoying at times might be a better explanation. For me, it just doesn't have the same feeling as previous expansions.

I love the challenge, but the rewards are not there. I think they went too far in the other direction from Wrath. Upping the time it takes to learn strategies and finish dungeons was fine with me. It made it a lot of fun at first. The problem is once you spend a couple of weeks in heroics you are pretty much done with them and only the raids are left.

I'm getting close to taking an extended break. Of course I tend to do that once the majority of the content is cleared.

Anyway, good luck to everyone.

Seriously?

That is all you got from the thread?

Do to time constraints I just got to where I can attempt heroics(queue), I spent yesterday learning/completing the first 2 named in SFK, and the first named in VP. Actually most of the time was just on the first named in SFK. I was having interrupt issues and getting bad timing on the mend, with my interrupt not ready. Or trying to time the tick of regen too close and stopping it too early, Not timing the last phase right and not getting healed up enough. I also threw in a fair amount of stupid. I did the stupid thing way too much, intermixed with decent attempts. I lost count of how many wipes I had Gear had to full repair twice or was it 3 times...

But by God i was going to beat that thing!

It did force me to improve and change things around, I had one attempt where he cast mend right after his strangulation/channel phase. So I stopped and made sure my interrupts were staggered (and used my priest to dispel the one debuff), I finally got around to getting my setup correct on my priest with the PW:Barrier so I could help with the aoe dmg on last phase. Saw my dps was low so tweaked my macros, was having mana issues so made sure to have those readily available and setup right.

But then I thought to myself, "Holy Crap, these are the fights that everyone says are easy-peasy. Things will only get harder from here".... If I'm struggling on these and other are all like "dude they are simple, stop sucking"

Maybe I don't have the time, skill or desire to box this expansion.

If I am honest I have to admit Wrath didn't really help me become a skilled MB (I started MBing in wrath) , I got use to brute forcing my way through heroics and then over gearing them. So I'm trying to learn, get better, adapt. but ultimately if I'm not having fun, I'm not going to play. The most complicated thing I had to do was maybe an interupt, jumping or moving out of dmg. So I am trying to get better, learn, adapt....

But your right, the only reason folks are thinking of quitting is because they suck and aren't willing to stop sucking

It isn't the tedious and forced linear quest lines, talents that seem more constrained than ever before, more of the same old same old game play. (PvP issues I can't speak about as I havent' done any yet) and yes content that for some might be more work and time commitment than they want or can make.

Right, because it just couldn't possibly be about anything _other_ than current heroic difficulty, AMIRITE?

Bravo, sir! My search for a picture to post here to describe the utter fail of your post, while fruitless for obvious reasons, led me on a merry and hilarious trip across the intertubes. Bravo!

Ha ha!! That is a WAY more colorful way of saying what I was thinking.
