I don't see what the big deal is. I think it's interesting but in terms of the game itself yes it does suck. I played WoW from Alpha testing until a bit after the launch of WotLK. I can assure you I know more about the game then the majority of the forum users here. Maybe more about the older game, not really how well it has evolved, though.

"ev·o·lu·tion- A gradual process in which something changes into a different and usually more complex or better form" If anything, WoW regressed in it's progress and along with it ruined the gaming market. Their demographic that is currently still playing are blind fan boys and young children who don't know better. Losing subscribers and becoming the laughing stock of the industry does not equal evolution. Edited by Ragana, Nov 27 2011, 02:01 PM.

Losing subscribers and becoming the laughing stock of the industry does not equal evolution. The whole regression thing is just a perspective. Sure it may be losing subscribers, but that doesn't make it a regressing game. The game just might not be for those people any more. Heck, the game has been out for 7 years, and it is still holding over 10 million paying subscribers, I'm surprised.

WoW has been like walmart or target (pick your store) killing all of the 'local' mmos off and taking their customers. WoW also 'borrows' ideas, strategies, and whatnot from the competition. Everyone uses wow as a base model for their mmo because it is like a mutant that evolves as it gathers new info Confusing? It should be. Bottom line, it could have been any game in place of wow, it just had the biggest fanbase (comon blizzard was a big corp before wow too) and copied what other mmos were doing. Then it kept growing and growing

True, but you must keep in mind that every MMO post WoW 'borrows' ideas, strategies and whatnot from WoW, in this market everyone borrows from everyone. In all honesty besides the hole story cut scene thing (which not everyone is into, though I think is really cool), the only thing I really find revolutionary about SWTOR since WoW (or other Post-WoW MMO's) is the Crafting System. They turned an otherwise tedious task into something you don't even think about and it automatically levels. Being like WoW isn't necessarily a bad thing, WoW was a great game, it just seems that it has degraded specially post Lich King. Edited by AudioVisual, Dec 2 2011, 11:38 AM.

I bought the last expansion cataclysm and became just bored with it, same content, regurgitated pve fight mechanics and pvp was weak and boring. If you wanted to do well on an arena team, you needed a resto druid or holy paladin (in tank gear) with some cc and burst, it got to the point where everyone was running the same cookie cutter groups and builds. I found the pvp in League of Legends was more of a challenge than wow because of the higher number of champions. What was odd was there was a core of us that played wow together, once all of us were on-line at the same time. We would stop playing wow and played LOL together, it was at that point I wondered, why am I paying this fee for this game when I am really not enjoying it. So I left after a month or so of cataclysm ended my subscription and have not played it again since.

I probably won't be around in WoW much in the next little while. (My wife has decided she wants to try playing MMOs with me and she wants to play SWTOR) Perhaps if/when she gets burnt out on Star Wars We'll come join you guys again.
