In wow, everything is all about doing things quickly, level up, grind dungeons to be best geared possible. I have been like that myself for 6 years, spending 4 days a week raiding 4hours just to get best item level gear and then just waiting around for months for new raid content.
Professions is a joke, since there is too much Min/Maxing going on. Like me as Unholy DK has to choose either Jewelcrafting and Blacksmithing since they gave the most bonus stats. I like to do professions when im tired of doing quests all day.

I remember back in March when I bought a new mobile phone, and there was a trailer for FFXIV on it and I was so excited cause I knew then I may have stumbled upon my new MMO ive been looking for since Cataclysm only brought boredom.
BUT i misread the release date. I thought it was Sept 30 2011, so I spent 2 months waiting until the day I talked about FFXIV with a fellow WoW player and thats when I saw it was already out. I have never gotten into my car faster to get to first game store to buy a copy, and now my DK and Warlock is collecting dust in Blizzards storage bank

I know my writing can be very messy, but english isnt my native tongue, its norwegian ^^ So I apologize if what I write is hard to understand hehe
Cataclysm did pretty much kill Warcraft, too much hype for 5 new zones and 3 new raids, now it's bleeding players left, right and center.

Not that I'm complaining. Because Cataclysm killed the game, I moved here, and discovered a better and more fun way to play online, which also improved my mood too, (elitists get angry at noobs for doing noobish things, I get angry at elitists for being pig-ignorant, least to say I spent quite a lot of time being angry ), and a few other players I've spoken to moved here when Cataclysm took WoW down the slimy slope to slimesville, so you could technically say Blizzard donated to FFXIV by killing their terrible game with a terrible expansion pack XD
