I didn't want to do it, I wanted GW2 to be my last hope...
But, it's not. GW2 has it's place on my hard drive, and it will continue too, but it isn't going to be my mainstay MMO. I really, really wanted it to be, but the PVP is just not what I was looking for. I thought the "balanced" pvp and the lack of gear differences would of been enough, but sadly it isn't. There is nothing in GW2 that is like my rogue in WoW....
Maybe I'm getting to old to PVP, maybe I do need gear to balance it out when I have had too many beers (my favorite time to pvp). But I'm finding myself wanting to go back to the PVP my fingers know.
It's funny that I'm sad that I have to go back to WoW, but it's time for me to realize that nothing out there in the MMO market gives me what WoW gives me. And that is simple, fun, killing of others. I don't care about massive battles, I want to kill the guy in front of me.
I know now not to prepurchase another MMO because I always end up back on my rogue, ganking at will, under stealth. I'm sorry GW2, you will be a great game for many.... just not me I want to be Uncle Owen again. |

WoW does not offer anything that other MMOs don't do better.

Maybe, but I have more fun PVPing in WoW, and having fun is the point of an MMO or any game. I'm not trying to change anyone else's mind with this thread, it's just me admitting that at the moment WoW is the best MMO for me.
If that makes me less of a gamer, so be it, but I miss my rogue and I'm going back like an abused lover.
For those who GW2 is their game, I'm jealous and happy for them, but it's time for me to be honest with myself, WoW IS the MMO for me. I want to be Uncle Owen again. |

mediocrity is never better then innovation. Went and played WoW to see what they changed since i played in the beta. Nothing. Sure they finally at long last fixed the issues with my class but not with my profession (hunter.engineer) they didn't do anything else accept dumb down as a fix the talent trees adding talents that really aren't all that great or creative and then they took elements from other titles and put them into their game as if it were their idea (AOE looting anyone?) since the D3 was released and their devs for D3 said what they did on FB about the main creative mind behind D2, I lost what little respect i had for blizzard. |

Mentioning anything good about wow will only get you attacked here.

No staying power in GW2. It is good for the short term unfortunately. Not saying that a 2004 created WoW is the almighty in gaming but it certainly has captured the hearts of gamers around the world. We just need Titan to be better. :)

Originally posted by Tibernicus i may be having a brain fart, but this double/triple negative confused me...im assuming you are dissing WoW, but for alot of people who arent waaay oldschool but still old this is their one and only original mmo. And that still shows alot of people seem to be coming back for the pre patch. i have 13 85's and am starting on a completely new realm to do it all over again. after a 3 month break im no longer burnt out from WoW and despite dumbing down the talent system talent choice still takes a bit of understanding, but no doubt the "best" combinations will start to surface soon and no1 will be unique at all talent wise now, despite that combat is still the same and is still fun in pvp. Now that alot of classes have been buffed 1v1 fights are no longer really long either. |

Originally posted by SuperDonk You made a choice to quit the game but if you followed the game correctly you knew that it was all about skills and not gear! Something I love about GW2 no more stun-lock till dead or healers out healing the damage. I like the battles being huge and involving! the best thing i loved about wow was it was competitive at first till the BG's became a timer fest, this destroyed wow for me at this point. All everyone cared about was getting points about gear.
For Me FFXIV 2.0 will be my PVE and GW2 will be my PVP!
Good luck in WoW :D!
P.S WoW Free 2 1/2 years! Traded it and SwTor for GW2! Below is where we can disscuss and come up with new ideas for Sandparks! http://www.mmorpg.com/discussion2.cfm/post/5164689#5164689 |

Originally posted by MrReality Titan will be the next MMO I buy, I'm done spending money on MMOs that just don't do it for me.
And that said, if Titan is not the PVP I want, I'll once again return to WoW... I want to be Uncle Owen again. |

Originally posted by itsneo I'm not going to delete GW2 from my hard drive, maybe once I get tired of WoW after MoP I'll return. But it's clear to me that GW2 will never be what WoW and SWG was/is to me. I want to be Uncle Owen again. |

Originally posted by Odinthedark1 Once I have had a few beers grammer goes out the door. Hopefully the rest of the post gives you the jest of what I was trying to say. I want to be Uncle Owen again. |

Originally posted by SuperDonk Not that i know for sure, but when it comes to money blizz knows what they are doing. It will probably be very similar to WoW with modern graphics and some new gimmicks (the good kind of gimmicks though) as well as some innovative idea's. the thought of it makes my gut churn with excitement, its name is Titan no doubt it will have to take the lead out of WoWs hands :D |
Originally posted by Odinthedark1 Blizzard makes great games, regardless of what D3 haters say. I want to be Uncle Owen again. |

ah titan. its details are probably the best kept secret in gaming right now. part of me is hoping blizzard shocks the world with a fully realized sandbox/virtual world mmorg. Themepark is not a sub genre, its an excuse. |

Originally posted by tank017 Yes, yes, I'm the loser re-subing WoW. This thread is sort of therapy for me to let my feelings out. I know that there are many who love the changes GW2 brought to the market, and I have no bad feeling towards them.
