I dunno man, TERA Online is pretty damn sexy.

Well, i cancelled my accounts 3 months to work on some project of mine. Different time sink i guess.

My best time in wow was the first year of Vanilla, discovering the world and basically being a nub at everything wow.
Been on and off over the last 5 years, and this is the biggest break so far. All 5+1 accounts (wife barely played, and only with me anyway) gone, didnt even bother clearing up mailbox and stuff. just stopped playing/paying on day.

i'm pretty sure i'll try again in a few months, when i'm less busy on other projects, and when the babies start sleeping a bit more.. but until then, don't really feel the need to.
Either that or i'll try something completely different, to try and get that nub feeling back again.

It's good enough to browse the forums from time to time, and see how nothing really has changed in the last 4-5 years ;-)

I also quit a few months ago. I didnt want to make a big deal out of it so I never posted anything here.

The reason I left was not a hatred of the game or anything, it was mostly a hatred of the grind and time commitment. I was liking Cataclysm for the most part, and the challenges in Heroics were pretty damn hard, but do-able. However, all of this was a considerable time-sink, and as I'm getting older, I just cant dedicate this much time to an MMO anymore. I have a wife, 3 kids, and a huge library of games, movies and TV that I have not been able to get to because of my MMO "addiction".

I thoroughly enjoyed my WoW experience overall, and I'm not ruling out a return some day, WAAAAY down the road. But I'm definitely done for a good long while. And I'm guessing that once The Old Republic comes out, WoW will be nothing but an afterthought for me.

Cheers!

Same, sucks too because i bought 400 bucks worth of cataclysms and now i dont even use them.

I still have my 5 accounts active, but I havent boxed in months and I am thinking of closing 3 of the accounts and moving toons to the remaining 2. I have levelled 6 of 7 of my old level 80's to 85 and I have leveled my one level 70+ toon I had to 85. I am just getting back into raiding again.

With the guild I run, we used to have 15-20 logging in nightly, but recently we are lucky if we can get 10 players online at once. A fair few people have gotten bored with wow because of the issues with the instances being overly hard and complex. They are also peeved that they cant get into raids slightly undergeared like we used to do in wrath. They go in heroics and get abused because they arent doing massive amounts of dps and they get despondent and get in a huff and they stop playing.

A fair few of my guild members have quit and gone to play Rift. I am playing it as well as playing wow and I can understand why they are going off to play there. The game has a lot to offer in terms of new areas to explore and new things to do.

Hopefully after the next content patch in wow with HC's getting nerfed and some more content getting added some of those who have quit through boredom will come back.

But for the time being, I will be playing both wow (playing a solo toon) and Rift.

So they are finding the 5 man dungeons too hard and are mad that they can't get a raid spot cause they don't have the gear? So they leave ... well what to say about that.

[Redbeard]

Well lets not be judgmental Zenga. Some people dont enjoy getting punched in the face. Especially when they've been trained over the last several years that nobody is going to take a swing at them.

Some like the game harder.
Some like the game less hard.

Neither is right. Blizzard really is the only one who gets to be right here, and you can agree or disagree with your wallet.

I MO.

Anyways. Just reactivated, not out of any great compulsion but just wanted something to do. Can only play eve online in spurts and rift was a fun diversion, but I wanted to see the rest of the content i havent seen yet (only made it to 84 before i stopped playing).

Well if they are in a guild, why arent they running Heroics with their guildies or some of them at least ?

You'd assume that would happen too ease the pain then of heroics if its like that and speed gearing process up.

One thing I see is alot of people cried Heroics are hard/difficult, because people are used too Wotlk and want too steam roll dungeons and forgot or were not apart of BC and how gearing worked.

Heroics arent difficult, half issue was people didnt know the mechanics, they dps or healers or even tanks didnt bother researching the strats and or their roles an djust expected to enter a dungeon and pew pew and be done with it.

Now hardly any CC is needed in them, most times.. for me it was piss easy too gear my x4 mages in heroic gear, i was already financial in game too buy them some epics, craft some as well and instantly heroic ready and some raid ready now.

People cried in Wotlk its too "easy" we want "BC" style back... well you got that, now its "too hard" "too time consuming" It really isn't.

I raid I'm a raider on my main Hunter, ok we are not into hardmodes yet, almost though, could have been a while ago but things changed, anyway if people actually put a little thought, little small amount too do some research to know what they need gear wise, where to obtain it, what rep they need etc all these speed process up significantly.

Honestly I do not understand why people complain about Cata being difficult.

It was deisgned more to be what people wanted, more guild related, more team based, and thats what it is.

Guilds, Perks, ... Heroics... meant to be done more with guidies then Pugs. As groups within your guild.

I seldom use LFG Tool, well not true, its used more too fill in 1 or 2 spots at most... either adps, or a tank if my fiance and I want too play DPS roles, other wise its him on his tank, myself on either 1-3 dps and or something 1-3 dps and my healer, or my kid on her dps and everything basicly falls over.

Bliz can not please everyone.

BC was great for many, Wotlk was ok for some, crap for others, too easy, too boring, too face rolling.. blah blah... we want it harder, more challenging, well you got that now, and now its too long, too hard, to this too that... lol... /shakes head and smiles.

Some time lapsed and now raids what we thought were some what difficult because we didnt know mechanics well, are now like doing a heroic dungeon, get in there and in 1 nights raiding, down 9 of the bosses.

Others are far more advanced, some others far behind, some others barely can get started because of issues obtaining players, thats when those players should contact other guilds who are in similar situations and organise too raid together perhaps.

Anyway... I like Cata. Have Fun!

Fuck cata, gief woltk and the semi easiness that came with it. Only the unemployed or socially inept like cata pve character progression. Gear has no meaning when it resets every expansion. Only thing that has any value is entertainment vs time spent playing wow. Blizzard is once again stretching too far in one direction.
