For those of us that like the type of game

I remember the original total war and loved it, all of them a long the way are good (to me at least.)

Plus talk about a decent time sink per win I have at least 150hours logged on most of them.

Catac is for sure more difficult for me than wotlk, but I still enjoy it. Maybe I do not expect much from a game that is getting old? Regardless, I am controlling the toons. The game dun control me.

For those that hate the game, free yourself from it, and maybe also from wow related forums. Aren't there enough good challenges in real life to spend time on? Visit us in this forum some time later.

To those creative and hardworking boxers, you have my salute. Speaking of this, I wonder how's Niley?

Cptan, this is a multiboxing forum and there are many other games out there to multibox beyond WoW. There's no reason to tell users to "come back later" just because they don't play a game you like.

What is wrong with him saying "For those that hate the game, free yourself from it, and maybe also from wow related forums."?

I interpreted that as him saying WoW-related threads like this one (perhaps he should have used the word "threads" instead of "forums"). I'm sure he'd be happy if you spent time talking about how much you were enjoying Rift or Eve in those sections of these forums. That's how I read it anyway.

I still enjoy wow. I do think the kinds of new threads on this forum are indicative of the general opinion many people on here currently have of WoW - the majority of new threads are about Rift and EVE.

Added: if people want to quit, go for it. If you like the game, keep playing. My point was that cataclysm and the subsequent patches have not been well received by people on here. I havent even gotten to 80 once so i have no opinion on it yet other than in regards to the extreme hp inflation. People subbing or quitting doesnt directly impact me. The longevity of this thread, the lack of wow posts recently, and the proliferation of the eve and rift posts point to people getting tired of wow. I have no positive or negative reaction to this trend other than being sorry helpful people like Ualaa are quitting and may therefore become less active on here.

Considering the title of this thread, I'm surprised some of you have a problem with the obvious content. One could also suggest that you give some thought to the title and, if you might be bothered by the discussion likely to occur there, you spend your time reading threads less provocative. Discussing the game, positive or negative (within reason) is one thing -- discussing other players is something I suggest is best left to the wretched hive of scum and villainy that is the official forums.

[Mickthathick]

I don't want to fan the flames further, but I think this thread has been quite constructive regarding the reasons people have stopped playing.

I'm unsubbed and have barely played over the last month. This desire to not play has been strengthened by some of the recent blue posts regarding the constant hot-fixes/nerfs/buffs with regards to how content is tested before it is released. Why have public test realms if you ignore the feedback by volunteers in these ptrs?

It seems to me that Cata was pushed out the door to meet the Christmas rush with the company putting profits before the players, which I think is supported by the pages and pages of changes implemented with 4.06 as they try to fix issues missed during the implementation of 4.0.

Seriously, no ink dealer in the horde/alliance major cities? How could that of been missed.

Myself, I've been boxing (meaning hardware or software key replication, etc, and not just multiple accounts moving between keyboards) since late Burning Crusade.

Many of the current regulars were boxing warcraft (or other games) before me.
But the majority of the regulars play or have played a significant amount of time as a warcraft boxer.

Having done the entire WotLK expansion...
Cataclysm is not that new or shiny.
The game is not horrendous, but it has lost a large portion of its allure.
But someone else, who is newer to the game... might like it a lot more.

And I have taken four or five breaks before.
As long as five months.
Usually something piques my interest.
So you never know.
Same for others, you never know.

^ This. couldnt agree more Ualaa. Blizzard has altered their business model. (As all companies do and should to continue to meet the flow of public desire.) WoW isnt what it was... Thats a fact. But, if you can find something in the game to still keep your enjoyment... do it. Who cares? Its still my $15/mon / per account.

I too have quit several times. The longest was 10 months. I was bored. I came back because things changed. I thought, Id try them out, see if I liked it. For myself, I just found multiboxing 5 months ago. It changed the game for me. Ive done the Achievement thing, Raid or Die thing, PVP, reached the gold cap, Farmer thing, collect all the mounts, earned max level on every toon on one particular account, make the one of each thing, etc etc. Multiboxing has opened another door to this game for me.

Sure, ill likely stop at some point again. Maybe even permanently, who knows. But games are my interest. If its not WoW then it will be Aion, or LoToR, or Guild Wars, or Age of Conan, or SWKotOR, etc. Shoot, right now im reading over Viods posts about Rift. Strongly considering it.


Just as a "eye opener" Blizzard is a company. A "subcompany". Activision is a business out to make money. The reason why WoW sees its expansions and "huge patches", isnt so much to apease the customers. Really. Set aside the game itself for a min and look at business strategy. They already have over 10mm subscriptions. Even if 50 thousand people complain and say "I WANT TO FLY IN AZEROTH!!", Blizzard said. "This will not ever happen. Just too much code and programing to write." LOL - Uhhhh. No, these expansions come to counter competition in the market.

SWKotOR announced a release date publicly... Cata was announced.
Wrath came out to counter Aion.
Burning Crusades came out to counter Age of Conan

I predict when SWKotOR has its actual release date, we will see another large expansion. Id bet my accounts on it.

@Mercurio

Firstly, I admire you as a boxer, so please don’t take any of this as an insult.


To answer your question:

You may be right; I may be complaining too much, a lot of which I’m sure is not constructive. But like the title of my thread states, I hope to return. That is why I remain on this site, and that is why I still have an interest in WoW.
