What you don't like about WoW

[Fizzler]

Why not make it a 'what do you like about wow'? Would be more fun

- Instances, I haaaaaaaaaaate this concept, especialy for a pvp server. I'm sorry what? You say I cant follow that guy into a zone because it magicaly splits into two? What??

I can't imagine what this game would be like without instances. Wait I can. There are many examples but I remember back when I played Asheron's Call there was this quest to get the Green Mire Curiass. You literally had to stand in line in this dungeon to get the chest spawn that had the item. Some times someone would cut the line but there was a good hour or two wait. You just stood there.. killed the respawns and waited. Imagine fighting over boss spawns... ugh
Instances is one of the best things in the game in my opinion. Now if they could only allow me in.....

Only one real major set of problems I have with wow:

1. Raid size is limited to 40.
2a. Group size is limited to 5 and not 8 or 10.
or
2b. Group quests cannot be completed in a raid.
3. Game engine can't handle more than 100 people in a zone. Sheesh, even DAoC could do this. Sure, it lagged to hell but you could still do it with patience.

Ahh the memories of running the Planes of Hate, Growth and Fear. Only to find out that another guild didn't abide by the server calendar of who's turn it was that day. Yep, I don't miss that but I did like that there was no limit to the number of people you could bring to the fight.

1. Not enough Live Events. When was the last one? Opening of the Gates?
2. Collection quest should be Party advanced and not just because I am a multi-boxer.
3. Player housing.. I can not even imagine how they would accomplish this. I loved how Ultima Online did it but after a while the landscape was just polluted with houses. There was an interesting market for prime locations. Everquest 2 had instanced apartments it just did not feel like it was mine.
4. Better spell effects and animations. Death Knights brought a bit of coolness I would like to see that with other classes especially the mage.

There is more to dislike in other games. The only good reason to quit this game is to have more time for life which is more expensive to begin with.

Good call.

This. Just my 2 cents, but they could really up the fun of grouping if they allowed quests to be done in raids, just for the simplicity of spawns and tagging and generally just getting to know people.

Or autogrouping with guilds, so that if you're in the same zone as a guildie, there is no "invite so-an-so" or "let me disband my group so I can join you" type stuff. I think WAR really hit the nail on the head with the concept of public quests.



Instances. I like the concept of instances when it comes to farming things. I mean, the point outside of server issues is to make "rare" spawns more accessable to the entire population and do away with spawn camping. Instances at this point have taken on a life of their own, now becoming a loot pinata that you beat regularly for goodies.

I don't know about anyone else, but I like the concept of uber bosses where the tackling strategy is only about a quarter of what the fight entails. I'd really like some outdoor bosses that are just about how many warm bodies you can throw at the thing until people get sick of dying or the thing falls after an hour long epic battle royale.


I'd also like set pieces to become a bit more prominant.

Lets combine two things together :P, Instance housing solves the landscape issue
