whats wrong with wow?

[Chardrizard]

i am not sure about your server but "learn2play noob" persona, harassings and dramas is all over on FFXI's endgame LS, everyone and their mom bots and MPKs at any given time, at least on my server.

Only drama I got was back in the LOLDRG days of FFXI, since I listened to a guy who said "DRG would be the perfect job for you instead of WHM!!" and at around level 50 I kept getting party invites, telling me to go to these random far out places and when I get there they'd either yell "LOLDRG GO LVL A REAL JOB!!" and warp out or not be there at all and send that message in a tell.

After about a week of that sorta thing it got to the point where another completely unrelated group would do almost the exact same except they taunted me in the middle of town for about 15 mins at a time then left to party. Eventually I got fed up GM'd all the lil douche biscuits and they all got temp banned but never came back to the game.

Only person to ever score a spot on my blacklist was the guy who thought it'd be hillarious to make fun of my disability and the color of my skin in LS chat or /say every 15 minutes.

1) Boring/one-sided PVP - why'd they give all the hoard races, pvp based racials, while the alliance got PVE based ones? WEIRD......
2) Instance grinding for Gear... BORING
3) TOO easy - Killing 4-8 mobs at a time all the time, is awesome, but doesn't make for much of a challenge. I used to just chain fight mobs on my Warlock and SP, until my Mana would run out. Eat and do it all over again. Talk about mob farming... BORING
4) Ignorant/Elist people - Far more prevelant in WOW than any other MMO I have ever played. There would Literally be fights in the main cities chat channels constantly.... LAME.
5) WotLK- lol, terrible expansion and what killed WoW for me, other than 1-4.
WoW is no means the worst MMO ever, but it basically brought forth the attitudes of todays MMO players. "I want it easy, I want the best gear and it best be easy to get, and I want to "PWN" mobs easily. It's why harder MMOs like FF11 and possibly FF14 will never do well in the west, SE wants you to earn stuff, western players are against this policy, they want to be given stuff, and WoW is the main cause of this mentality.

I played WoW for a few months, and one of my issues I didn't see mentioned. (Maybe I just didn't see it though, lol.) I'm a female, and therefore like playing female characters. I know, who'da thunk it? It got really old seeing a bunch of guys trying to cyber with me every other day. After the first few times, I finally started telling people I was really a guy and it still did nothing to solve that issue.

There's nothing wrong with liking WoW. For most of us here, it's just not our cup of tea.

That's what happens when you roll a character on Moon Guard. :P

It more prevelent all around actually

Which happen AFTER WoW was launch. ffxi community pre WoW was more helpful

really no reason for it to let go on. It is clearly break ToS rules. Infact most are under the age of 15. according to the ones I chatted with.

Nothing wrong with wow, except that many have been playing the game for 6 years and are getting tired of the same tropes.

Well just to let you know DRG now on FF11 is a freaking godsend . Drakesbane is amazeing and most mobs are weak to pierceing damage. ( lances, polearms , arrows)

But yes in 11 it was allways a Bi**h fest in EGLS where people would do things for themselves and not help the LS. Like people joining geting there AFv2 gear and you never see them again. Or someone loting a silver piece then warping out and droping there LS. Lot of that kind of thing in every MMO. Most people dont wanna work for anything , or be a team player. Most people only do things if in the end thay benifit from it also.

the loldrg was post WoW also. I started before WoW was launched.
ffxi community was 100% what i was looking for. Fun community, alot of helpful players. PPl who would help at the drop of a hat. After WoW launched more anti mmo ppl joined and started turning the community into a mess.It didn't need to happen.

Some ppl just shouldn't play mmo, or make them into something that isn't the purose of it. I was watching face off last episode and what 1 of thr ppl said holds true.

When you lose your way just for money, you lost what it really means.

MMo are losing their way for sake of money and pleasing the wrong crowd for mmo. We don't need high school drama in video games. More so from an age group that is 18-50. I never played Eq Eq2 or Eqoa. And what i knew of mmo when I started was community games, that you play with other players and fun. Sorry getting harassed over a play style isn't fun nor is being stalked its a waste of money.

I know i still play XI but I prefer WHM it was my first choice and it is what I like to do, was lvling brd when the servers shut down though.

LOL half of our abyssea LS got all their boss kills, full AF3+2, 90% of their emp weapons completed and all caturae downed them bailed on the LS
