I just want to pose a couple of simple and direct questions to the WoW players to feed my own curiousity.

1.  What is the biggest reason why you play WoW over any other MMO?

2.  Do the Queue Lines you have to wait in to PvP or log in bother you?

3.  Do you really think Blizzard spends a good part of 50 million + a month they collect in sub fees on improvements to the game, or the CS team, and if so how much more free content do you recieve over any other MMO?

Not looking to start a flame war with this, i am genuinely curious.

1. I have fun playing it.
2. Yes.
3. No. They do add more free content than any other MMO I've ever seen. The new BG's and instances would have easily been two expansion packs for SOE.

MMO Subs:
DDO CoH, Eve, FFXI, LotRO, Sb, SWG, Vg, WoW

Following:
Stargate Worlds and Earthrise

Really looking forward to more than any other online event:
Star Wars: The Old Republic

Sure you are, uh huh ...

To answer your stupid questions, people play it because they like it.  If queues (which I rarely encounter) bothered anyone too much, they'd stop playing.  As far as the money Blizz makes, I don't give a crap if they all buy themselves Ferraris.  If the game is fun, it's fun ... end of story.

Oh wait, your insightful questions have made me see the light.  Maybe it would be more enjoyable to play a game that I don't like but which never has queues and where all the devs drive Chevies so that every penny can go back into providing more crappy content.

1. The PvE is very casual friendly, and you can solo when you don't feel like grouping.

2. The wait to get on the server is completely rediculous.  As for the BGs I didn't care much because I don't like to PvP much.

3. I personally don't think they have done enough with the game compared to the subscription income they are getting.  They have made several improvements to the game, but they should have been giving more.  My opinion is that they should have had an expansion by now, and it should have been free to subscribers.  I may get flamed for that, but I feel Blizzard owes a lot to the WoW community.  Then again, I have high standards for my subscriptions.

Wickes, don't be a complete and total jerk.  The guy has questions about WoW and he can ask whatever he likes.  There's no reason for you to bring your fanboy attitude into things, so quit being a prick.

So I'm a prick ... what's your point.

BTW, if you think he has honest questions, I have some outstanding land in Florida you might be interested in.

1. Because it's still fun, even after maxing your char, because it's an exciting experience to adventure in the fabled world of Azeroth I have followed from the first Warcraft and story books etc.

2. No, they don't, because there are plenty other things to do, not only to PvP.

3. No, they don't, of course, every major updates are fun, but more of these money should be spent increasing server performance, hiring more proffesional staff and so on.

1. The biggest reason I play is because I enjoy it more than any other MMO Ive tried within the last 3 years. (SWG, COH, EQ2,MXO,GW)  Plus all my friends play which also keeps me playing.

2. Honestly the queue lines for BG at lvl 60 are not long at all.  At least on Eldre Thalas server. Especially during double honor weekends. 

3. WoW has more content than any other game Ive played so far and most definitely the best customer service I have seen with fast response times.

Im not sure why people feel the need to constantly trash WoW on these forums.  Only game that gets beat down more is SWG.
