Please educate me on the severe challenges and detriments to leveling brought on by GW2... It seems like you could easily just exist in world events without really contributing outside of the general zerging in GW2 to level up just fine. A gw2 fan calling another game a clusterfuck... that's rich. Please educate me on the methodical strategy required to achieve the GW2 event completions that didn't involve massive random faceless individuals zerging bosses and massive amounts of random mob spawns. Less blatant wow hating please.

People who disagree with you are not automatically haters smartass.

Also, Leveling in GW2 is considered part of the experience, unlike WoW where it's nothing more than an obstacle and overglorified tutorial at best.

I will definitely not be coming back for MOP.

I just cannot stand WOW gameplay and the games content, after doing the fetch x and kill x quest at mount Hyjal.

Blizz are so lacking of creativity all they can come out is with Panda expansion to stop China players from leaving WOW.

I predict by the end of 2013 WOW will have 5 million players.

The East will be playing Age of Wushu, Archeage, GW2, Blade & Soul and Planetside 2 instead of WOW.

Ita only a matter of time! 

 

Exactly. :-)) Even if now in my heart Wow has been dethroned by SWTOR I can still barely wait to play it. I admit is not the same entusiasim like with Cata, but still.

No offense intented, but Korean companies will never learn how to make really great games. But I guess when I will need detour from swtor, wow, rift, tsw, .... guess will try gw2 or some other game. But not for now.

While I am rooting HARD for GW2 I can't say that I will never go back WoW.  I guess I might if GW2 ends up being an epic failure like SWTOR.   But it would only be a temporary thing until something else came around that caught my attention and also my hope for someone to create something revolutionary.  GW2 may not be the revolution I think so many MMO fans crave but it sure as hell is a lot closer to it than cartoon pandas and pokemon pet battles.

1) Tired of getting hacked every time I cancel my account.

2) I refuse to play around with key logger stuff or what ever you call that crap, when Blizzard is ultimately responsible for resolving hacking.

3) I don't have the latest expansion. The last thing I would do is pay $39.00 for it BEFORE I could even think about about the Panda expansion.

4) This game is getting old. They should offer the entire bundle of original game and all expansions including the Panda thing for $29.00......Anything else would be greed !!!!

5) The game is a lobby game now....Sit and wait for ques.

6) The open world is completely dead of community ( play by your self ).

7) Too easy, the game is for 6 year olds.

I really have no plans on going back. GW2 all the way. If GW2 goes bad, I will go back to Vanguard, Find a non f2p guild and stay there..........But no panda thing......They destroyed this game for good

Wow, you sound like a junkie or a smoker.

Resubbed and lovin it, can't wait to play pandas, monks, scenarios, farming,new bgs, pet battles, etc. Gonna be awesome.

Already got mop prepurchased, and free from playing  D3.

Hi, I'm a Broken Spoon and I have not played WoW for nearly 2 years *applause*

MOP will be Cataclysm repeat.

Strong box sales (althrough lower than Cata) and big player drop after ~ 2 months and continuation of WoW playerbase decrease as a main trend.

Though I will not be joining you in the MoP fun, I am actually quite happy for you. I honestly do hope you get to enjoy WOW for many years to come. Having said that, I do look forward to seeing you in GW2 :-)

I have broken the habit. I will not resub. I have no curiosity for MoP at all, with it's even dumber talents and what will end up as just yet more gear grind and repetetive content. Blizzard need to provide more than an expansion every 2-3 years consisting of yet more treadmill if they ever think they'll see more of my money.

For anyone looking forward to MoP, best of luck to you, hope you enjoy the game.

Played WoW since a few months after release (still in Vanilla), had a 2 month or so break around Rift launch (still playing Rift, but not as much as TSW and soon to be GW2) and quit for good about a month or 2 after DS came out.

You could say Cata killed WoW for me, and not to mention my semi-casual raiding guild (we did raid 2/3 days a week and were 15/16 ranked on the server in the latter stages of LK expansion). Biggest thing I hated about Cata was putting the 10 and 25mans on the same lockout. And then came DS, personally I think its the worst raid ever in WoW.

The only thing which would see me back in WoW was if Blizz offered free MoP and then I'd only stick around if what remained of my guilds was still around. And if I was getting bored of Rift-Storm Legion/TSW/GW2.

While I know many people who have gone back, I currently have no intention of going back.

However I never say never with a "hobby" because to be  honest if they went back to TBC or even earlier WotLK style gaming I would consider it.

But for now my Theme Park Jollies change with the wind, SWTOR and RIFT currently vie for my main MMO, With TSW, DCU and War just after.

and GW2 soon... oh so soon

I think the last time I actually paid for WoW was 2009. After that I have only returned for free scrolls, free 10 day cata trials but never actually subbed. 7 days are more than enough for me to give up on the game.

WoW Vanilla was the best game I have ever played. No other game (note I mean any game genre not just MMOs) compares to it. It was epic in every single meaning of the word epic!

I would say that anyone who played WoW vanilla loved that game and can't deny that the game was just ridiculously addictive and fun. I am not interested in the thoughts of those people who joined after vanilla was over. You never actually saw what WoW was all about. I kinda feel sad for those people who never experienced the magical World of Warcraft in its true glory back in Vanilla times.

Anyway WoW Vanilla was great and not even games like GW2 and GW1 (second most played MMO for me) will ever come to the crazy epicness of World of Warcraft.

speak for yourself brother, i haven't played the game in 3 years and have no intent on starting again.

I may be back, I've retired more times from WoW then Terry Funk has from wrestling :P

I do doubt, however, that'll bother with MOP but in the future who knows? I had my period of addiction from 2007-10 and I'll never get like that again as most of those people have moved on, including me.

The next expansion on I may look into it again, never say never :)
