World of Warcraft

Now i played WoW for a while and managed to eek out the meagar existance that is the entire game. I finally realized that, well frankly the game sucked. The endless hours of fighting with people to grind for loot and expirience. The game itself is well concieved i suppose but still it is just lacking any deoth or complexity or maturity. Which brings me to the point of the WoW community, which if their claims are to be believed are  a bunch of Magnum packing masters of videogaming and the entire universe. But at the same time none of them can apparently even get a date or probably talk to a girl in RL as they sit around Gold Shire begging the female toons (probably men in RL) to take their clothes off and send nude pictures to Bossmanpwnzor@bigdong.schlong................... This is my friends a tragedy, a game that is so populated by people who have so little sense of maturity or anything that makes sense in some cases. I was told toward the end of my career to try the hord as they had much more mature players. This was marginally true but it was just that marginally so. The game itself was not all that pretty. The mobs were all so repetitive and alot of the time i was thinking if Blizzard is so succesful why cant they make some variation in their creatures. I remember Molten Core... The bosses were just big regular mobs with some color change. Can you type /sigh? The crafting in this game sucks so hardcore it almost brought a tear to my eye. Grind for stuff and then make stuff that is more often than not useless and if it is usefull it is so commonplace and blah that the market for it is just terrible. The wow economy is aweful as well, probably due in large part to the bunch of pre-pubescent lads that run it. The economy that does exist is silly and the auctionhouse is the saddest most pathetic joke i have ever layed eyes on. WoW sucks period. Find a better game to play is all i can say to all of you who play it.

And cue the backlash...

Don't know why you felt the need to post the above drivel in this forum, but lets take a look at your first post instead which you posted in the LFGame forums.  It's much more interesting....

I have played a few MMO's in my time and have finally decided that short of going back to the good old days

Being what? 

, I need a knew game with some depth and maturity to it.

You being so mature and all...

My most recent MMO venture was WOW My biggest mistake ever lol. It was fun for quite some time but a couple of months ago i suddenly came to the realization that i hated it and everything it was:

Not too quick are you?

The immaturity of virtualy the entire playerbase, the completely sensless grinding that just plain sucked (took me till 70 to realize that )

Again, not too quick are you?

, and the fact that the crafting in that game is at times so meaningless and silly its kinda frightening. Anyways enough of my ranting, i simply had to prove a point i guess.

Actually you haven't proved a dang thing yet except that you can rant.

Now i have been searching and looking for about four days now and am torn on what to do or which game to choose. Now on the one hand you've got a game like EVE. A sandbox with lots of depth and so much to explore and discover. Intruiging? Yes, but i have also learned that this game can be a bit time intensive and daunting; taking months of play just to really get into...

Hmmm...so not really any better than any other game out there including the one it just took you a few months to figure out sucked.  Well at least you figured out you don't like EvE after a few days of just looking at it and it didn't take you a couple months of playing to figure out, so you're better off I reckon. 

This worries me as i will be working and going to college full time this fall semester. On the other hand there are things like AoC that look intruiging for an obivuosly adult based content set and from what i have seen at my friends house mature players and interesting classes etc. But here again we have lost some of the crafting and the sandbox aspect.

Hmmmm....game number 2 shot down without ever playing a minute of it.  Wonder why it took you months of playing WoW to figure out it sucked?

I could go on to things like Lotro, EQ2, etc., but the main point being that i need something that i can play at a leisurly pace while still mainting a mature deep level of gameplay. Any recommendations?

Because I've been looking for 4 days now and I'm fresh out of ideas...

How dare you post my real life e-mail address.  Now I'm going to get spammed like crazy!

As soon as anyone posts that the WoW community is so immature I dont even bother wasting my time reading what they have to say because apparently they have never played MMO's.

EVERY single MMO has these immature people in their community you just see it more in WoW do to so many people playing it. Use some common sense people it gets so old hearing its WoW's immature communities fault for everything.

As the WoW players would say...

Wall of text crits you for 124098510230192.

You die.

Utter...fail.  The WoW community is one of the worst I've ever experienced.  Last night I logged in (first time in 3 weeks) to find someone in IF yelling (/yell) "will give you secks!" within 5 seconds of being logged in.  I promptly rolled me eyes, logged out, and played something else.  Trade channel in the faction cities is utterly useless.  People begging you for gold, blindly inviting you to guilds (if you aren't in one), being asses in regional channels when people ask for help "Where's mob X?"  "Look it up on thott you n00b", pugs rolling need on crap they can't even use, node stealing, etc

The list is almost endless.  In general the game is indeed populated of selfish children.  There is some truth in the OP no matter how many times it's denied...the reality is there.

Sadly, WoW is the best game out there right now, at least until Warhammer Online is released.

WoW = Waiting on Warhammer. As soon as the open beta starts, my WoW account is going in the freezer.

WoWs terrible community is the stuff of legends, everyone says "WoW brought lots of people to the genre" Yeah well, shit draws flies now doesnt it.
