    Default Why do people like WoW so much ?

    Okay so i played WoW to lvl 85 and i honestly don't understand why do people like WoW so much personally i think its okay.. but not thattt good.
    Reason being is that once you reach end game you just sit at orgrimmar and wait for dungeon/bg/arena queues and there is really no need to go anywhere beside the capital because there is no need to. i personally really like world pvp but i never get to find any in this game because of these queues. Also BG is really boring because most people either afk or just don't care because they are in it to ''grind honor'' which is frustrating and i played this game alone without any friends in real life so for me to find or do stuff with people is nearly impossible because everything you do is across server (example you queue bg or dungeon you will do it with people from other servers ) so i never get the chance to do arenas or rated bg because i don't know anyone in the game to do it with.
    Now before someone says '' find a guild'' its really hard because on the realm i was all the GOOD Guilds does not require anymore new people in their guild So us new people will never actually get to play the game to the fullest because afterall its a mmorpg...

    Is this a troll thread? On the off chance that it isn't, I'll try to stick to simple answers.

    WoW has a lot of depth/content - quests, PvP, raiding, etc. The best thing about it is that it's had years and years to refine itself, a lot of P2P games flop at launch because their bugs and glitches are instantly compared to the current state of other games (which WoW dominates).

    You don't just start out in a good Guild, that's called getting carried and unless you have contacts no one wants to raid with the idiot who pulls adds and wipes everyone. You work your way up, if you know your class and have good spacial awareness people WILL recognize it.

    sorry if i made it like i'm trolling i really am not.
    i understand there is alot of content in WoW because it had alot of time to refine itself but the content gets old as expansions comes out
    i mean who does ICC or BC raids when cata is out.

    Probably the same people who still ran MC and ZG when ICC was out. They're collectors, they do something that they find fun. If you can't find something that you enjoy in a game as big as WoW, then you should find another game. I can tell you right now though that no other game offers as much content. That's just a given.

    Yea the only difference is that there was already a lot of hardcore Warcraft players.. I think that's the reason why a lot of these new P2P MMO's are failing.. they just don't have the core player based Warcraft have.

    Yeah and I've said as much. There were many design issues with vanilla, Spirit or Int stats on Rogue/Warrior gear. Final talent skills that did less damage than a half ranked trained skill. You have to consider though, upon launch WoW had some of the best graphics at the time, a good fanbase, and a company that's set multiple records for high quality games prior to it.

    The only real games WoW had to compete with at the time were EQ, DAoC, Ultima, and maybe a few others that had time to be polished. It was different enough for people to stick with it though. You can't say the same for many of the games that have or will come out nowadays.

    The problem is, they are trying to hard to emulate WoW, as well as knock it off the throne it's held since launch in 2005.

    i can't place my finger on why people claim wow as the best game ever.i'll admit, i like the game up to and including outlands, but when you get to northrend it becomes a chore and is honestly VERY boring.

    personally Everquest is my "best mmo" but that's just me.

    and i forgot the realm i was on surely had the worst community of any game
    i remember when i was playing i would spend 1-2 hours making a 25 man raid just to have a chance at the gear but it always seems to fail , not because the raid is ridiculously hard. its actually the opposite its ridiculously easy. but due to the lack of coordinations and communication between us it seems really hard.
    and after 1 wipe everyone will just leave the raid group and i just wasted my time when i could have done something else more productive , not like gaming is productive but i don't have all day playing and things like this will just ruin it for casual players like me.

    Completely wrong way of playing WoW.

    First of all, if you play for gear...you are doomed to not like it...if you do Raids because you enjoy it then you'll love it.

    And second...if the people leaves the raid group after 1 wipe...what kind of people is that? 1-2 hours to prepare a team is way excesive...it takes half hour at most with organized people/guild. And raiding is time consuming obviously...but you can still enjoy it if you play let's say...2 hours a day, you can always get someone else to fill your spot when you leave.

    People that only do raids for gear usually rages and QQ when they don't get an item...and cause drama. If you manage to find a guild of mature people that doesn't mind passing for an item even if they need it...i guarantee you'll have much more fun. This comes from someone who was by far at the top raiding guild on my server back when i played...and we played like 4h a day 4 days a week (not friday, saturday, sunday).

    Also, you don't need 100 random players/classes on the same guild, a small guild is easier to coordine and organize...you need like 4 players of each class at most with a similar playtime and you are ready to progress on raids. The key to make raiding progress comes mainly on gearing up people...having different people with a few good items is useless if all are bad geared, for example tanks...one of them should get geared up first (the most active and better player usually) and then the rest will roll for their items eventually.

    This, I enjoy raiding the most when new content is released. That first kill after hours, days of teamwork is very thrilling. The obligatory 1% wipe is also win.

    Because unlike the big majority of MMORPGS, WoW focuses on end game content rather then endless grinding.
    When you hit level 85 you actually have a ton of stuff to do, which is part of the reason it is more successful then any other MMORPG thus far.

    What we REALLY need is an enjoyable long leveling process. A rpg is supposed to be about the journey, not the end.

    it's because us WC fans who played the RTS for the story (before WoW) are forced to pay monthly to continue the story....

    I was so pissed off when I asked my friend if he knows Illidan's story, he said he just killed him like a little ***** and don't know or care about the story. I lost a friend that day.

    It is fun indeed but as you do it over and over and over again it becomes a little boring. and it does take 2 hours to make a raid because my realm was really small

    simple ... because its WoW ... there is no reason to like it ... but there are many people who dislike it... .

    Simple put its the MMO giant who has the story from way way way back ... and because warcraft had soo many fans all over the world ... blizzard delivered something Gigantic at that time and place it captures players ... and they made every single effort to keep on rising and holding players ...
