thank you all. since i am a fresh player of WOW. your reviews help me a lot concerning the game

This review is bias from the start. First off the guy from the start says that the xpac is $&#&ing awesome. The majority of WoW players would dissagree and call that bias. WoW has now started to crack. This is the easy meter of World Of Warcraft:

WoW Original:

PVE: Pretty hard first time around with no mods, Some what of a grind.

PVP: Twinks R Us should say it. Crappy gear sends you to the grave yard.

Dungeons: This ties in with pve sort of. The dungeons are clean and exciting.

Open world PVP: This ties in with PVP. The PVP is very very poor to the noobs but fun to the higher levels. I know we can all say that we have been pwned once or twice neer the end of a hard quest.

Battle Ground PVP: Meh, Capture the flag, and get resorces is quite fun for a while till u have to grind it.

End game: Alot of hard core raids makes this one stand out.

Over all, WoW Original was the hardest out of the series. It was fresh, new, and fun which made the hard core peeps happy and the kids cry.

WoW BC:

PVE: Outland... hmmm, pretty nice area.... I see some new but most old. Thats how I would say it. I liked it, but Blizz could have added a litttle more features.

Dungeons: See how I put this in the right spot? The dungeons in BC arnt that great, there very repetitive and Blizz makes you want to grind dungeons to level fast with buddys since the exp boost on dungeons was patched up to be alot more than questing. Also Blizz put Heroic dungeons which require keys and reputation to enter. Heroics have enhanced loot and mobs which makes the average joe not so average after all.

PVP: Overall theres nothing new.

Open World PVP: New areas, not new style.

Battle Ground PVP: Same thing. Resorces and Capture the flag.

Endgame: Added Karazan and ZA. Not that original but it kept me happy for a month.

Over all, big dissapoint ment for people that waited till midnight. It was a quick peice of $&#% that lasted a week.

WoW WoTLK:

PVE: Same as BC, added more quest, new cap, more rep to grind, and thats about it.

Dungeons: Wee bit harder Heroices, especially Uldars side dungeons on heroic. Makes the average group fail at the end.

Raids (Endgame): Remakes, thats all I have to say. You payed money to Blizz for $&$&ing remakes of raids? HAH!

PVP: One word, WINTERGRASP BITCH! This is what made me like this xpac. Good solid PVP.

Other thoughts, umm WoTLK should have been 15$ imo. Nothing new but wintergrasp. The raids are the same for gods sakes and the only decent thing added was achievements. Big dissapointment.

Ratings:

WoW Original: 5/5 Nothin gets better than this.

WoW BC: 3.5/5 Could have lived with out it.

WoW WoTLK: 4/5 A big dissapointment but wintergrasp was epic.

WoW is aimed at the casual gamer now. Hard Core raiders will get bored really fast. Over all though I don't see how you can give an Expansion a 9.2 rating when most of the content is modeled after Lord of the Rings Online.

9.2?..........I think not.

WoW raiding  .........people didn't stand in fire = win

WoW raiding  ..........people DID   stand in fire= loss

either way......people yell in vent =p

If WoW is so easy, by all means, anyone here, go ahead and link me your #1 arena team in your battlegroup, or show my your armory to your character having killed the LK on heroic.

Exactly.  This game has challenges.  This game can be hard.  You choose to ignore that and twist the game to fit how you want it to be.

It is made to be easy to get into, and for the most part, easy to play because that's what opened the game up to 11 million more people.  Instead of a game with 500,000 hardcore EQ people who loved camping a spawn for 72 hours, you have people facebooking WoW and such.

9.2 IS pretty high, but meh, I don't think their is any game close.

You're doing the same. It's what everybody does. You see the features or aspects that appeal to you and express why you think it's good or bad.

In wow anyone can reach level cap.  You might ask how is that a bad thing?  The first Naxx had less than 1% of WoWs population raid in there.  All those people sololing to level cap means they don't know how to function in 5 man instances ....not to mention raids. EQ might not have near the population of wow but a random level cap player in EQ is far more likely to be a skilled player who knows his or her class well than the random level cap wow player.

I'll put it this way..........If you really like raiding then the only achieve that will matter and your biggest challenge will be finding 30-40 people who don't absolutely suck that have similar play times. Then pray that random drama doesn't destroy your guild.

The 9.2 review is on par with the other professional reviews found on the internet.

There it hits 92.46% from a whopping 35 different reviews.

If all video games were as polished and lasting as WOW was, Blizzard would not make so much money.

I am frankly dissapointed in the state of current video games these days.

Not only MMO's.

MMORPG is taking a turn here concerning WOW and it was not a minute too late.

Meh.

I played WoW WotLK at a friend's house, and really, I've played better.

First of all, this game is not cheap. It's about $50 just for the game, plus a subscription fee of about $15. Most people just don't have that kind of money.

Another thing is the lack of drive. Why are we killing these little animals? I can understand with things like a dragon who is terrorizing a village, but in the lower levels of the game you're just killing little animals.

The range of choice when creating your charecter is probably the worst I've seen in ant MMO. There are only 4 classes, though I admit the shapeshifting druids were pretty cool. You can't choose any kind of clothes, just your skin color and hairstyle. Now, I know you can gett better gear and clothes as you go along in the game, but It's just not enough.

So, I just wasn't all that impressed. I don't know why this is the #1 game in the world. I like DDO much better for a fantasy game, and It fits really well because I actually play D&D offline on the game board.

So as I said before:

Meh.
