Where did WoW go right?

Again, I don't feel the need to show respect to people who came into a POSITIVE topic, only to bash a game and make negative comparisons. It isn't my fault people couldn't read the topic title correctly, its your fault. It sounds like I've played as far into EQ as you and others here have, so like I asked these others, post more information and direct it to my points I made, you don't seem to be able to respond. Instead you take the sensitivity on the internet route.


Right, and I made points about that, and pointed you to another thread focused on that. We can agree to disagree, that's fine. I'd rather spend the "time" playing the game, the game.

You don't have experience in WoW, so don't make comparisons, that was never the point of this topic anyway. Why do you need to defend EQ on a classic EQ forum? No one has a response to that.

Again, read the other thread about timesinks. Saying a timesink is "difficult" is just silly. Difficult why? Because you spend hours to accomplish one little thing? Why is this considered difficult?

In the other thread, you'll see what your posting is already addressed by me as well as others, and pretty much shows what you're saying is silly.

Say you have to camp a specific mob for about 18 hours straight, does that mean it is difficult, or does it mean it just requires a lot of time? We are talking about things in a game sense, not that you can't eat/shower for 18 hours, that isn't game difficulty.

I think you have created an amalgamation of people posting in this thread. I never had a problem with WoW, IMO its a very well made game and I had fun playing it. You are so overly defensive of WoW you can't even seperate who has said what. To be honest if wanted to bash WoW I could, I could do the same for EQ, both games have a flaw list 10 miles long. In all honesty your compsure does a lot more detriment than anything I could say as you are a great reminder of the anti-social player base in WoW.

As far as points go, you really haven't made any in response to me except for your opinion that timesinks =\= difficulty. While I can definitely understand you would "rather play the game" you are arguing apples and oranges. Your preference of playstyle has nothing to do with the definition of difficulty, the level of impediment in reaching your goal.

Also you fail to see the irony of talking about how WoW was more excessible to everyone than making incorrect statements about who played what. I mean it really doesn't matter what you think, I played and enjoyed WoW and know it. But it does just degrade your arguments when you start basing them on knowing details about the lives of people you have never met. End game in WoW was far more attainable than end game in EQ.

You also failed to address the points brought up by other people about item obtainment in WoW but that could just go on forever.
