Theres alot of WoW hate on these forums, im curious to hear where peoples fueled anger derives from...


Answer my simple question: "What made you quit WoW?"


I quit WoW after two long years. Why? Becuase of weak endgame and the worst community I have ever bared witness too. Do I hate WoW? No, I got alot of enjoyment out of it.

Your turn.

I quit WoW after being stuck at lvl 52 for over a year... a year of fustration and the agony of being FORCED to solo due to the horrible community... the inability to locate a party for anything beyond instances and complete lack of depth to the game and nothing to look forward to at level 60... the repeated problems on my server and massively unbalanced factions didn't really help much... do i hate WoW... YES do i hate blizzard no... though i do dislike their choice to put off Diablo 3 for so long...

i didn't quit. WOW GM Blocked my account without any notice. i still don't know why they blocked me. WTF. i hate Blizzard.

When I hit lvl 40 and realised that was the end of any kind of solo content in the game. As I can't spend a huge amount of time online in one go, I have to rely on solo content to get me through. When I found out all the quests I had past level 40 were epic and required a group I totally lost the feel of the game, and quit subsequently.

The horrible community there, WoW has probably got the worst community of any online game, with kids constantly bugging you. Some kid comes up to me asking for money, and follows me around for 4hours and i report him twice and GM's do jack. Hate Wow.....God yes! Do i hate little kids now.....If there all like the one i described then yes

  You CAN't Quit woW ,she won't let yah !!

Not a WoW-hater here, but the reason I quit is I just foresaw too much time needed. I wanted to enjoy pvp and to enjoy that I had a variety of classes, but to level any of them required a fair investment of time.

Stranglethorn 40-50, and badlands without needing grouping.

isn't stv more like 30-38ish?

you can solo to 60 though.  there's quests in each zone that'll push you along your way.  getting to 60 from 40 really isn't any different than getting to 40 from 1.  you talk to quest guys in the zone, then just start randomly killing and you'll have them all complete in no-time flat.

the only thing wow has going for it, imo, is my wife plays it.  her first "real" online game and she doesn't want to have to start over in another game.  she tried guild wars with me when it came out, didn't go for it.  i'm hoping that if one of these new ones kicks butt, she'll go for it... OR if the new uo looks good, she'll try it, which would be great, because i've got a few accounts on it and could give her a vet account to play on.

anywho.  raids, and kaplan's mouth -- these are the things that made me quit.  uo never required me to devote endless hours on end to play and enjoy EVERYTHING the game had to offer.  if a game has raiding, then yes, in order to enjoy EVERYTHING the game has to offer, you have to raid.

o, and the farming.  how many of those bugbear guys in felwood and um, the icy place to the east of it, do you have to kill in order to advance your rep to exalted with timbermaw hold?  how many deaders (and then just deader turn-ins) do you have to kill in order to get exalted rep with argent dawn?   now.... how many items do you actually unlock at each rep level?  i mean... the game IS item based - period.  so why is it, when i unlock a new rep level, i DON'T get access to 5 new items per profession and at least 5 new items for each class?  items are ALL this game offers.  yet, i would have to spend countless hours/days/weeks, in real world time ingame, to get rep to exalted with one faction after the next.... but what does unlocking those factions give me?



raids.  faction grind for not much reward vs. effort+time.  kaplan being employed at blizzard still, especially following his 'learn to raid' comments at e3.


otherwise, for a cartoony graphic game, it's pretty fun.

Quit of boredom at lvl 12

they would have sent you an email, with an address to contact if you had questions.  did you read the email and then send post to said contact?


edited:  that's an email address to contact, not a snail mail one.

played for 3 months. I was on the edge at the point where my sole purpose in the game was waiting for guild raids (mc/onyxia back then). Battlegrounds pushed me over that edge, and I quit the day battlegrounds was opened.

I only played Wow for like 10 days. It was a fresh server, only up for like 2 weeks before i joined it. Once i got the message that i would have to wait in quoue for 1:15 to get into the game i cancelled the account and uninstalled the game. I honestly dont know how people pay for wow and accept the fact that servers are small and it might take hours to get into game at peak time. 

40-man, 6-hour raids and competitive PvP ladders that gave rewards relative to other, more obsessive, players.  The rest of the game, IMO, is pretty tight.

I may give it another whirl after the expansion comes out, since they're changing both the things that made me leave.

excellent point.

Same I try log in but I cant after 1hr of tryn ahaha fuck that

Raiding.

 

On day 1, of release, I read their devs talking about their endgame.  I was tempted to stay for epic classes, but I didn't (turn out they cancel epic classes; lol I would have been in a fit of rage there hehe).  As a former EQ player and someone who already quit EQ2 (was 2 weeks old back then), raiding wasn't acceptable, quite simple.  I try to play WoW, but I was remembering their devs talk about endgame and I feel it was completely useless and a waste of my time to play and I was actually not having fun, but raging;  and the fact I was already having 2 toons over level 10, on day 1, was really not improving this feeling.

 

I feel devs where trying to trap me in raiding, all again.  So I quit.  Faster leveling up only lead to raiding faster.  When I express my concerns, I was laugh initially by forums folks.  Now seem like raid-haters are more numerous than ever...and the thrend will only increase in time.  As peoples learn to know what they want, and what they don't want.

I don't play Wow anymore either, But I don't hate it.

My first character was a warrior. Had alot of fun with him, but I was also a member of a great guild. When it came time for end game we began heavy recruting, we where not prepared for this. Complete Random invites got us the numbers and we were soon exploring MC and Onxy (this was befor ZG). How ever the guild itself was getting out of control and we lost the "small family" feel we once enjoyed. One by one we all went our seperate ways.

  My wife and I started over on a differnt server. It went well, I took a druid to 60. Then we began missing our first characters. When we went back it became obvious real fast how far behind the rest of the server we were in end game. I was a warrior and NOBODY needed another warrior. My wife was a warlock, EVERYBODY wanted locks. She made deals for me, "sure I'll join, but you must take my warrior husband" Obviously this didn't go well, While she had no problem getting in on every raid, it was like fighting tooth and nail for me to get an invite. And I do not blame anybody for this, there where just way to many warriors on my server.

  So, we tried yet again :) I took a shamen to 52 and then....I woke up. Time to move on. I think getting in on the ground floor of a great guild in this game is a must, I will be sure this happends with my next game, whatever that may be.

Run out of new content.

Only 20 man plus raids left to see, and 10,000 hour crafting grinds.

Looking forward to the next installment.

 

When I'm 70th level I might even go back and do some of those raids.

I do not hate WoW and played it for about half a year.

I really enjoyed level 1-60 infact so much that I did it 3 times with characters both on the alliance and horde side. But the "end game"... Seriously, I will never play any MMO with any sort of "end game" concept, What kind of crap is that?

I am a casual gamer. I do play computer game quite a lot, but I do it at times when *I* feel like it. Looking to my little brother at the hight of his raid days: EVERY sunday he had to sit there with no possibility what so ever to participate in any family related activities. We even had to bring the food to him because he could not come down for dinner. My parents did not mind as he is a grown up man, but seeing that as my future in WoW in quit immediately.

Every time I think about going back to WoW I think about loggin into Iron Forge and seeing the screams: "Lfg, lfg, LFG!..."

PS. Luckely I experienced little problems with log-in qeues. That would have put me off right away.
