It's more appropriate to compare WOW to Microsoft or Jeff Gordan (to a nascar fan).

Post in a computer related discussion that you think Vista is awesome, and you will have every little detail of the OS picked at.

Wear a #24 hat  to a nascar race, and more than likely you will have beer 'accidently' spilled on you during the race.

Just like it is natural for some people to cheer for the underdog, it is also natural for some people to hate anyone who wins alot.

The Wrath sales numbes speak for themselves.  4M people in North American and Europe think enough of WOW to buy 'more of the same' in the first month.  2.8M of them on the first day.  Forget China and Korea, forget the fact that the 'vanilla' box is still in the top 20 in game sales..  4M people are playing ENDGAME.

 

and "end game" is all it has... this term was really started by wow where the get there quicker and do whtaever faster, don't wanna work for it mentality was has festered and spread like wild fire... Its fine you like WoW but keep that shit to yourself, no one wants ez mode spreading to their games, or to have you come to OUR games and go, "This isn't like WoW at all, can I have battlegrounds please?"

You have me confused, you tell him to "keep that shit to himself" and you dont want him to go to "YOUR" games and say it's not like WoW at all. Last time I checked, you're the one posting in the WoW section.

also, WoW has a lot more than end game and No, the term was not "really started" by WoW. It was around long before WoW was even released.

Hmmph. I don't know how to feel. I like seeing an MMO do good, but I know deep down that the better that WoW does, the worse the future of this genre looks.

The only thing that seems to be dying, well not dying yet but suffocating, is WAR lol

I'm sorry to say that Blizzard is full of shit and they have a glitch in there system..Also if you look at the Headlines they are hurting for money..They can brag all they want..But the bottom line is Money and they are not making it...You can make anything look good on paper..But REALITY tells it all!

---

 

Could you show me these headlines?
 
I am not a Blizzard fan anymore (all the good people quit and are doing other things now), but they are NOT hurting for money. They are probably running the most profitable MMORPG out there right now.

Got confused with Blizzard with EA.. Sorry my mistake..But Blizzard did take a 14% drop in stocks..I think its no chump change to them though..Blzzard is doing good its EA doing bad..I dont know why i think these two are the same company...Ok I wear my for tonight...

Because they are both evil?

Yes! I really don't like either one. I guess it is easy to confuse two massive companies that don't really care about players.

Really? Because I'm laughing twice as loud as you (in real life) at the extent to which people are going to tear down a video game that is clearly highly succesfull.

Successful? Yes. Good? No.
