Ualaa if you run a DK team do a pally healer. A priest healer gets ass raped. Trust me! Just having a pally there keeps people from focusing you because they know you can bubble. Your priest will die in seconds when they focus it. Trust me I have both a pally and a priest healer. With the DK's you have AMS, LIchborne, and Trinket to break or prevent fear. The worst thing on the DK's are roots.

I used to have a friend who dropped out of college and then kept quitting his jobs so he could play wow and dota. I remember visiting him at his house, trash and clothes everywhere, sink smelling of rot, empty soda cans stacked 10-15 high next to his computer.

He was so addicted he just couldn't get up and walk away. Lucky for me the only thing I have lost is sleep some nights playing wow.

Please tell me you was able to get him some help.

There were times that I thought I was bad. Losing a couple hours of sleep, and the very odd all nighter.

But shit, some of the people on that WOWDetox site make me seem like the casual. I care far too much about my job, girlfriend, and the night out at the pub.

I am going to get back to that WoWDetox site to boost my self esteem some more, haha.

I've just finally run out of hope. Hoping that Bliz would get round to fixing problems instead of introducing new ones in the process of making a half-assed attempt at fixing existing ones.

XP locked BGs sounded like a great idea at the time, then they made the BGs need full teams for queues to pop, and suddenly they stopped popping. Now they merged the battlegroups it turns out the queues have been totally f-ed up from the start, with a 20 man BG needing 30 in the queue to pop. It's no wonder smaller groups are having problems getting games, and everyone is getting crap queues, when 1/3 of the people queued aren't going to get in, unless they wait the entire duration for the next BG to start.

RealID sounded like a good idea too, but if you can't do diddly with a RealID friend on another server besides chat, what use is it? It would do wonders for cross realm LFD if you could add as friends the few people you meet who you do want to play with again, and group up with them in future, instead of sufferring yet more randoms.

War Games too suffers from an incomplete implementation of what RealID could have been. It would have worked so much better if all the people on the continent could have grouped up as they want, and got games with just the kind of people they want to play with. Result, no-one complaining about overgeared heirloomed players farming their way round low level BGs. No problems with BGs filled with bads or farmers, just a social game where people can do things together, in social groups, instead of being anonymous, split up over several servers, or stuck playing with people they'd rather not group with at all.

Seems Bliz are more interested in keeping all the botters, afkers, leechers, griefers and hackers, and forcing everyone else into playing alongside them whether they want to or not, simply because they're paying customers too, then keeping all the profits while they do a half assed job of 'developing' the game, or rather developing features that look good in theory, and in marketing, but rarely live up to the hype in practice..

I've yet to see WoW really develop in any aspect despite hoping it would for a few years now. It comes to something when the tactics for a dungeon boss at the highest level read 'Just like <insert boss from vanilla dungeon>', and the one place where you PvP with equal gear to everyone else, and entirely for fun instead of for XP, honor, gear, rating or achievements, is the least supported by developers or the majority of players who worship them and the constantly imbalanced grindfest.

So yeah, 5 accounts being cancelled here too.

ummmm, yup. What you said.

I actually phoned Blizz to let them know I was done because of the a) linearity of the cata quests, b) 4.0.6, c) less than optimal pvp implementation (bg/arena cause I played on a care-bear server), d) honour boon-doggle early on. They actually seemed pretty interested in why I was leaving and that I was a boxer. Who knows if they'll do anything about it, but at least they seemed interested.

Has anyone else talked to them?

Has anyone else talked to them?

I called them when I quit back in January to have them freeze my accounts, since the last time I took a break I got hacked while I was out. They were interested, especially when I said I had 5 accounts to freeze.

It's sad. I think they really took note when I said, "I've had Cataclysm less than a month, and I've already lost all interest in playing. I can grind heroics by myself, do bgs/arena, but it's all the same grind. The motivation isn't there. I can do everything from the inn in org and don't have to leave the same spot with instant porting. It's just not fun."

What are you talking about? There is TONS of cool new mechanics in the game!

New BGs! Ok... same old BGs, just different maps.
New world PvP! Ok... well, same as the other world PvP only sucks even harder.
New spells!! Alright so they are the same spells, just moved from 1 class to another.
New gear! Ok... so its the same skins at all the old crap.

WHATS YOUR POINT!

I'm kind of wondering what your point is now, Lpwned? I think you (and others) have stated that you are bored with the game in many different ways throughout this thread.

Since you have cancelled your accounts, why come here and reiterate your opinion that WoW stinks? It isn't like the devs are going to come here, read your posts, and improve the game becasue of your constructive critique.

Not trying to be an ass, but I just don't see how continuing to bash a game you are no longer playing, but others are still enjoying, is doing any of us any good.

[Ualaa]

Haven't talked to anyone at Blizzard.
Just did the cancellation, and the brief reason why in the box.

March 24th, 03:45am draws nearer.
Haven't really found anything in my sporadic journeys into Warcraft to rekindle the desire to play.
