The game is about the end-game PVP/Raiding/Dungeons. The leveling experience is smooth and quick, as it should be. Although I'm sure some don't agree and that is fine.
Good for them, what is wrong with people having fun on a video game? You don't think a 65 year old woman could play EQ? I played EQ before I turned 10, EQ is easy. Same thing right? Also notice how they aren't playing EQ with you, ouch.
You are criticizing something, with no experience, in a topic about where did a game go RIGHT. You are simply off-topic, and derailed the thread, which seemed to be what you wanted, so no one could talk down your precious EQ (nobody did). I'm not butt hurt at all, to be honest your posts crack me up. Again, WHERE DID WOW GO RIGHT. You simply are putting down a game you admit to having no experience with, yet you are speaking the "truth", right...
Are you his whiteknight in shining armor? Did you even read the thread? He basically said EQ is more difficult and complex than WoW, and had no means to back it up, and also admitted he barely has played WoW. He formed an uneducated opinion, and I called him out for it, get over it.
Great, another guy who is here to defend EQ. We are on an EQ Classic forum, why do you need to defend EQ? It just shows weakness on your part. The leveling process in WoW is quick and enjoyable (or tries to be), not everyone can invest the time it takes to level in EQ. That is where the games differ, congrats on figuring that out. This thread is about where WoW went right, and your feelings differ from the majority, that's fine though. Many people see the accessibility of WoW as a plus, hence the purchases/subscriber base all these years. There is a reason P1999 (or even eq live) doesn't have millions of people playing.
Guild Wars 2 PVP is solely based around skill, and not gear (or very very little), and is a highly anticipated game releasing soon. Will it flop? Who knows. Some people enjoy even leveled competition. Why are FPS games BY FAR the most played video games? You tell me.
In WoW you do progress. You can have battleground gear, or achieve higher arena rated gear that not everyone has access to. You can do dungeons/raid finder, and have decent/good PVE gear, or you can work with your gear and complete the more difficult raids/raid versions, and get even better gear. The hard modes are truly hard, at least for a while, but you wouldn't know that, obviously.
What happens when you have the BIS gear here on P1999? You make an alt or sit in the EC tunnel. Seems similar to every MMO to me, but you think its different huh? K.
Confirmed: mad.
