Looking back to when you first started World of Warcraft, what was it that drew you in and got you playing? Were you already a Blizzard follower through Warcraft / Diablo?

I was playing a bunch of other MMOs the guild I was(and to a certain degree is still in) had a very fluctuating member numbers. So I kept going from one MMO to the other following the rest of em, but in the end I grew tired of MMOs because of the grind, and I have a job+family so the grind and the time sinks in general just wasn't for me I decided. So I played FPSes with some friends for a while until I got sick of all the aimbots and hacks, and constantly having to buy a new game. So I decided I wanted to play an MMO again. So I went to WoW as it had the most real life friends playing last year.

Out of the entire life cycle of World of Warcraft, what event was the most memorable to you personally?
Sticking it out with my not-so-great-at-their-class friends and getting them through heroics. It feels like a true victory to get through that with people with sub-par dps and inability to move out of bad stuff. I still love em tho and cherish their friendship, but omg.. Having a big enough bank roll to just buy them gear so we can somewhat overgear instances has helped. LOL.

What is your favorite expansion so far, and why?
Wrath, granted I played Vanilla for a few months before I gave up on WoW a long time ago, and I came back not long before Cata last year. It was a lot more multiboxing friendly. As Khatovar already pointed out, i don't mind the occasional CC/interrupt/situational awareness(get out of the bad stuff), but I think Cata just went too far. To me it almost become akin to playing a FPS. I went back to MMOs because I've become old, slow and don't react as fast as I used to.

What is it about World of Warcraft that keeps you playing?
Nothing better is out there, but since I was in SWTOR beta, I've just been mostly single boxing with my friends the new heroics for kicks. Some time this week I'm gone to new pastures, and for now just single boxing it. I'll keep my accounts open for now, but will probably cancel in a few months.

If there was one thing you could change in World of Warcraft, what would it be?
I wish they would make the game more about getting the most out of your class and knowing you class, and not who can move out of bad stuff the fastest, or click that lever. This is an MMORPG not a MMOFPS.
