whats wrong with wow?

[Wolfie]

Most people hate on other MMOs even though they didn't get to experience even 20% of the content that the game had to offer. FF players, you do this too.

Virtually all the complaints I see about WOW is how you can get to the level cap in <1 month, but nobody realizes that the game's design is such that 80%+ of character development happens at the cap. That's where they force you to group and socialize.

Nothing wrong with wow, both games just as bad as each other. Though wow has more due to age blah blah.

I dont think its fair to compare wow with XIV as wow is aged, xiv is not, (even though i think xiv should have a lot more now), compare it with something like TERA who copy wow for things like quest windows and the way you level (the fastest way to level in TERA is story and sidequest and there are hundreds of them). but sadly TERA dont let you change class.

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.

The problem with WoW is the player base that rages over the slightest inconvenience, people who sit in the main cities and troll chat, and solely base a players ability to play the game solely on gear score. Other then that I enjoyed playing it for two years.

Did you play on a RP server? That's usually where the cybering happens.

Only had like 2-3 trying to cyber with me over the 4 years that I played WOW.

FFXI's community sucked too.

Screwed up in a party at any point? You were blacklisted by like three dozen people.
Got tired of partying, but couldn't find a replacement? Just unplug, who cares if you just screwed over 5 other people.
Rival LS/party group? MPK them (this died down after they put in mob reset).
Virtually all of the high end LSes used bots.
People were vindictive over nitpicky things, as opposed to having their angry outburst and forgetting about it.
Ninja looters taking Ridill and dropping their LS pearl.

etc.

there is nothing wrong with WOW. it's just this is a FF14 forum. Most ppl here don't like wow because they prefer ff style or they get tired of wow after 6 years of playing it.

the system is great maybe best ever in MMO history

but the design is horrible, maybe worst in the world in my opinion

for me or everyone who more like japanese style design, WoW is really bad...

compare between this:

how could you expect japanese or european people to accept these ugly character design?

I'm not offense, but the fact is Incredible Hulk, Juggernaut, Capt. America and another walking muscle are created for american while Dante (Devil May Cry), Solid Snake, James Bond are created for japanese and european market
