World of Warcraft

Just because I don't currently play WoW, does not mean I never played it. I don't play it for a good reason, which I've already stated.

 Not a I hate WoW reply I like it hell I gotta like it even if I didn't why you ask? because my gf likes it and therefore I have to play it.WoW is a mainstream mmo its not a mmog that was really made for old mmogers it was made to bring in all the ppl who don't play mmogs the idiots who would have lasted maybe 5 mins in old UO or EQ WoW is for all the ppl who would never have the skill to play other mmos. Now havin said that I have enjoyed WoW because of my limited time its a nice easy game to play and get some stuff done without havin to invest a entire day like I did in a mmog years ago.

  To all the ppl who are boasting about WoW's sub numbers how many subs do you think they really would have if you took out the chinese gold farmers, and the alt account? Hell I have 4 accounts to WoW 2 for me 2 for gf ALOT of ppl have that many or more I would say WoWs real numbers if you just subtracted the gold farmers and sellers would be well well below 10 million

Although I agreed with WOW could be the best MMO but I am not going back. After quit WOW I have played many mmo P2P and F2P. I like to try new thing. If WOW change a name then I will consider it is a new game.

Since there are no good mmo on the market today, so it is more fun to play a terrible mmo and torturing yourself.  

PLEASE CAN THE MODS MOVE THIS WOW THREAD TO THE WOW FORUMZ!!!!!!

WoW just kicks the crap out of the competition.  I really, really wish there were another MMO that was as fun to play but I've tried them all and there's just no competition for Blizzard. 

The only complaints I really have is that WoW's domination has scared off alot of developers and I'm really ready for a quality futuristic MMO that probably won't materialize until Blizzard does a Starcraft MMO.

WOW oozes quality. And it's sad they simplified an MMORPG so much.

New MMOs are trying to copy MMO easy mode, and make it even easier. And they are failing. Maybe they should start copying WOW's quality and make their game a bit more difficult than WOW, maybe there is the money now.

WoW is fine. I played it a bit and it's okay. Two 70s, actually. A bit is about three and a half years here. But as I was saying, it's okay. It lacks grunge but sometimes that's what you want. It has a light heart, but I hated it at times. The world is huge and getting bigger, but at the same time so is the subscription base as much as the utter sense of annoyance in the 'community'.

I loved WoW and as I've put it before, always will. No MMO has topped it (no one can say 'no MMO can top it' because one day, one certainly can and will), and most likely wont for a long time. Slowly I felt the sense of immersion slip from me as I approached level 60 in the original version and as soon as I realized how hard it would be to compete with nine other people let alone thirty-nine others for a spot to get a fifth of a chance at gear - immersion died on the spot.

Burning Crusade sprouted up. Ten more golden levels of fun, love, and more annoyances - died again at level 70 after the Arena was made your only choice for a moderate chance of success in PvP and PvE was once again gather more friends that don't really like you at all for a chance to get a sixth of a chance at gear this round.

I have tried AoC, WAR, LotRO, and EVE. WoW was the 'best' game. WAR was the fastest and most immersive. EVE was the most unique and expansive. LotRO was the most enriching in storytelling. AoC was just... Oh holy mother of God, I swear on an upside down cross I would kill myself if I play it again.

I stopped playing MMOS for a while, and recently came back to try LoTRO, WAR, and AoC... After playing each of them for a long while, they still don't compare to WoW.. They are not even close to as fun, creative, and diverse...

So, I'm playing Burning Crusade, and pre-ordered Lich King..WoW is king.. Can't wait for a real contender.. But I have a feeling the oly contender to WoW will be WoWII

Shame on wow for pigeon holing the entire genre with their stolen ideas.

No world Pvp

Unbalanced Classes

Terrible community ( Wow is MMO high school Ive seen F2p games with better communities)

Limited Instanced Pvp (4 bgs and a couple craptastic Arena maps after four years)

Crafted Gear is worthless at endgame level with the exception of a handful of items

Rep grinds are horrid in WoW and the gear is next to worthless at high level

Limited character customization (normally one-two good specs for each class and If you go outside the box you get laughed at and riddiculed, Ever see a melee hunter or Firestone warlock?)

Bait and Switch ( wow sucks you in with a nice little leveling game to turn into a gear grind that forces you to que up for BG's and wait on raid schedules, might as well play diablo since WoWs world is non existent at high level)

Solo gameplay that turns the majority of its players into Anti-social gimps that spread out to other MMOs, 80% of wows community might as well be bots, Look what they are doing to WAR)

 

so theres your 10 If I really think about it I could pull out about 20 more reasons why WoW isnt the best MMO.
This is the stuff thats just off the top of my head.

Edit: the Players that play WoW don't even relize they are playing a sub standard MMO since they are new to the genre.

What MMO has ALL those things and thus is the best MMORPG? You can do such lists for other MMOs too, none of them is a complete expirience, they are all missing something. 

Besides, those aren't really good reasons, opinions and preferences yes, but very poor as reasons go.
