Pros&Cons ? Not just cons.

[tyjeff9]

Well its a great game..the only con is it ruins all other gaming experiences...like you try to move on but nothing gets close to comparing

[DneL]

Why because of how fun it is?

Why because of how fun it is?

Just flat out gameplay..i got tired of it and i just can't find something to hold any interest anymore

[Raiyne]

Pros:
Well polished game
Decent Graphics
Good endgame
Fast lvling 1-60
Good support
Relatively low system requirements?

Cons:
Subpar PvP
Grind for good stuff (eg. Few thousand Gs for a flying mount)
Community isn't so good on some servers, despite being P2P.

Pro - Massive user base its easy to make friends and join a guild.
Con- The PvP isn't amazing and there seem to be no war on.

Someone posted pros so here are some:

Cons:

-cartoony graphics (i think it's ugly as hell.. looks like a clown exploded on your gear)
-boring combat (target monster, press 1, go to sleep, win)
-pathetic PvP

ahaha...obviously you have not pvped in battlegrounds or even go past the first 10 levels...WoW does NOT have boring combat at all, sure PvP-wise it will get repetitive and whatnot since you kill opposing faction players for reputation and better gear, but in terms of general combat, its pretty fast-paced. Its not just press 1 skill key then go to sleep, thats just ******ed. You play like that you might as well not be playing the game at all. WASD controls along with hotbar keys all over your screen to make use of all your abilities is the key to being good at combat. Go watch WoW pvp videos and then come back here and tell me that combat is boring, I dare you.

I find the graphics to be very smex once you turn everything to max. <3
Very low system requirements, friend who has a built in graphics card can even run it~ <:
The end-game can get somewhat chore-ish if you get into a serious guild. Kind-of the reason I stopped playing. D:

@ArcDevil; In what way are the classes un-balanced..?

[DneL]

I played WoW for 3 years and can honestly say that it was the best game i ever played, but if i were you i would wait 1,5 month before the next expansion so you reach lvl 70 in time for the next expansion.

Pros:
1. Smooth Gameplay
2. Population
3. Raids
4. Arena PVP
5. Community
6. Wrath of the Lich King is coming soon

Cons:
1. The Burning Crusade
2. Wrath of the Lich king (new expansion) is coming soon, which means that
when you reach lvl 70 there's nothing to do that lasts for the next exp.
3. Leveling shouldn't be in the game, as it's just a pain in the ass to reach the actual game (end-game).

[Alivada]

I also find the graphics to be really good but then i am a Warcraft 3 fanboy so i may be a little biased. The game isn't a grind and the combat is genraly quite good. Its not likely to die any time soon.

Cons- Its not to everyones taste.
It can be hard to solo at later levels but by then you should have
found a guild so not to worry.
Some people don't like the graphics.

I suggest trying the free trial before buying (theres a streaming client so you can make your account and be playing after 5mins.

Have you ever PVP'd at level 70?

[Professor Cena]

Lulz, I have a lv 70 spriest.
If you're reffering to Resilience, yea, that sucks. Still, it's not hard at all to win over anyone if you got skills.
And don't go all "OIOI FANBOI ALERTZZZ" on me. ><

i want some of what you have been smoking

[Proxzor]

i want some of what you have been smoking

I didnt smoke anything, Can I have yours? Maybe runescape will have better graphics instead of bad..

maybe we have travelled 4 years to the past when WoW's gfx were great and noone ever heard of requiem,perfect world or granado espada,havent we?

theres nothing worse than a fanboi...

edit: woah Candyholic,im speechless. if you ask me that WoW ss looks like crap compared to any of those other ss. in fact im sure you could have picked a better WoW ss.it would be moot anyway,but really...woah
and btw, SOTNW/Requiem actually looks way better in my PC

I loved WoW, it's my favorite game.

Pros
-Decent graphics at high (If you're a total graphics *****, you'll think they suck)
-Good gameplay
-LOTS of content
-Expansion packs come out every so often. (There's WoW, The burning crusade, and Wrath of the Lich King.
-Good storyline. (It actually involves you in the storyline.
-Very good PvE
-If you have lots of friends, this game can be VERY fun.
-Read above.
-Good PvP Modes. Warsong Gulch = Capture the flag, Arathi Basin = Capture certain points on the map and defend them. Eye of the storm = Warsong gulch, AV, and AB put together. (I'm going to explain alterac valley in a bit)
-Different races
-Lots of items
-Horde and Alliance. Horde usually wins in PvP
Now, horde isn't evil, and alliance isn't evil. They're just fighting for their beliefs.
-Lots of mounts
-WASD. You can choose to point and click too if you want in the options.


Now, there is a battle ground called alterac valley. The main objective is to 1. Drain the other forces reinforcements by burning down their towers, and capturing their bunkers which stops reinforcement flow. You can also kill the other faction.
2. You can kill Lieutenants and that drains a LOT of the other forces reinforcements.
3. There are several captains/Lieutenants and etc. You can also kill the General, which pretty much what AV revolves around. You can't just charge in the first 30 seconds of the game on your mount and attempt and kill the general. You got to be TOGETHER or you don't win. You have to make your way slowly, capture graveyards so you can respawn there, and etc. It takes over 25+ people to take him down. He also has a Lieutenant (2 of them I think) standing with him.
4. oh, and, It's 40 vs 40.
5. You can do stuff like, call bombing runs, summon extra mobs, reinforce your own NPC Soldiers to make them more powerful, etc.
6. Now each faction has a boss mob of their own. You can summon them by going to your own NPC and giving them blood, You obtain blood by killing the other faction and looting their corpse. Once the boss mob is summoned, it's nearly unstoppable.

Cons
-WoW has it's own share of immature fags and trolls
-Err, I can't really think of anything else.

I think WoW is the best P2P game out there, and it's better than all F2P games I can think of. All the games I played before WoW, I quit them after playing for a couple days. But I've been playing WoW for a long time now and it's still fun.
