As many know I love WoW, but its not all smooth sailing, I dont agree with all the changes and additions to the game, below are my top 3 hates in order.

  1. Flying mounts - killed World PvP, players fly everywhere, no options for ambush or spontanious PvP.
     
  2. Raid achievements - used by players to decide if your good enough for their PUG, if you don't have all the achievements for a raid then its hard to impossible to ever do it as you need the achievement for any group to invite you, yet you cannot get the achivement as you cannot get to the raid. :p  I like to think I help the situation by not requiring acheivements when I make 10man raids, but I do check gear.
     
  3. Hunter pet changes - was fun to travel the world using beast lore and taming pets to learn pet skills etc.

Oh My God. That you still can come up with THESE arguments these days....

World PvP killed by flying? :)))

They don't have the time to start flying when I am in a hunting mode with my rogue. Killed on delivery.

In fact when a prolonged  fight starts, you have MORE guildies flying in when it escalates.

When people flee with their mounts (almost impossible in individual fights), it means they need to LEAVE the leveling/questing zone.

You OWN that zone at that time. :)))) It is a victory to me. How is that NOT meaningful ? :)))

1. Wintergrasp Lag

2. Death Knights

3. The P.O.S. "Hard Mode- Easy Mode" thing that they have going for raids.

1. yes. 2. no they are a good balanced class these days.

---------

3. I wonder people who complain about that: ----> there are 2 possibilites.

OR they just do the hard modes and just ignore the easy modes (so why even complain)

OR they only do the easy modes and can't win the hardmodes (which give far better rewards) (so why even complain, you don't have any competence in this case).

Choose to which category you belong ....

I guess it was just cool to see how even top guilds struggled on BC bosses(pre-nerfs) for entire weeks.
Oh and normal modes are way too easy. Until now, Karazhan pre-nerfs was harder than Naxx, OS with 1 drake, Malygos, Ulduar normal-mode and ToC normal-mode. Ulduar normal-mode 25 had a decent difficulty pre-nerfs. Now, not that much.

Comparing MMOs with burger companies-the epitome of logic.

Go check and see statistics of the raiding guilds and how far they have progressed in those hard modes. You'll be amazed how few guilds per server even arrived at the final Ulduar boss.
 

The average is ... one guild per server.

And do not forget ... these are raiding people. A lot of players don't even start raiding.

http://www.wowprogress.com/ I play on a server that's in the center of the pack and indeed one guild "saw" him. But that's it.

Always compare with the other players in these stats.

Encounters
Alone in the Darkness (H): 151 (0.28%)
Observed (H): 305 (0.57%)
Unlock Algalon's Room (H): 802

He Feeds On Your Tears (H): 5 (0.01%)

To give you an idea: In EU ALONE we have ... 258 servers. Meaning a LOT of servers worldwide ... didn't even down the last ones.

1/ faster leveling . it made the warcraft too endgame centric and forced people to solo much of the mid game content .

2/flying mounts before these there were far more world pvp skirmishes .

3/reduce or remove  honor for a loss in the battlegrounds . if there was a real insentive to win players might actually learn battleground tactics .

Agreed.  Flying mounts just gave players an easy escape.

As a side note, I would've preferred mounted combat to flying mounts any day.

1. I would remove the mmorpg website, since apparently this site was only created to piss on WOW.

2; I would remove the editors of mmorpg.com, since apparently (with the comments even in this thread) they don't even know how to play WOW. (I want to see ONE character on his flying mount that can escape me whenever I can attack him on the ground).

3. I would lock and delete the accounts for all those that threatened to "leave" because "some" element in the game bothered them.

So Blizzard can concentrate on the gamepley instead of wasting time on frustrated forum kids.

Zorn, just stop posting, please. Go play WoW if you think it's so perfect and stop posting here if you think it's so corrupted and full of WoW-haters.

Things I would change?

1. Make death penalties higher, losing all experience gained in the last hour, you can get half of it back if you walk to your body.

2. Speed up the combat.

3. Make it less gear based and more player skill/character build/skil based.

Lol, calm down Zorn.  I've been playing for 5 years now and enjoying every minute of it, but I'll stand by my comments none-the-less.  Don't take an opinion on a minor issue so hard.
