Why did YOU quit WoW?

[Eyry]

Blizzard sucks, too many little kids play it, cost money, I hate how quests are handed to you so easily, Its not EQ.

Everything is given to you easily in WoW. You have to work really freaking hard for your gear in EQ. Better sense of accomplishment.

I always find it funny when people say this. Leveling up, yea, cakewalk. BWL & AQ? Not ridiculously difficult, but definitely far more difficult than anything EQ Classic->Velious

I love you President for one of the most quotable replies on the p99 forums so far considering the constant stream of inaccurate WoW bashing. Plenty of things to hate on WoW for but generalizing its ease is not one of them.

The origional WoW waasnt so easy, now adays its just much easier than it used to be.

I had kids, was the main reason I quit WoW.

I had fun while playing it though, it started to get bad when BC was released. Original WoW was awesome.

Everyone that complains about it being "easy" how many hard mode raid encounters did you beat? I doubt many. I wish I could find the post about the different level of raiders again it was exactly how it is. Somthing about the people who claim the game is to easy are the same ones farming normal mode encounters over and over and have still yet to beat any hard modes.

People hate on WoW because its the "cool" thing to do. Most haters either never played WoW or just agree it sucks to fit in. WoW is actually a very great game, just most of the content and gameplay caters to casuals far to much. But the actual hard mode raid encounters of current are actually really hard and exciting.

I beat Sarth 3 drakes 10 man when it was considered the hardest encounter in the game at the time and that was somthing to be proud of.

I played the free 30 day trial then promptly returned to Anarchy Online.

EDIT: I played it before they came out with any expansions. I think it had been out a year at most. I liked the mechanics of the game and all, and I made it up to level ~40 but the one thing I absolutely COULD NOT STAND were the graphics. All that pastel/cartoonish looking crap made me wanna vomit after playing any longer than an hour.

Good post, all of the 1.0's were straight bitches, Vaelastraz was always a bitch because of the "DT" he had and over zealous casters.

I still think S3D 10 pre-ulduar was one of the hardest encounters Ive done to date on any game. I made it "somewhat" easy as an elemental shaman tho, I could heal in the portal and leave our healer(s) outside for the tanks

[astarothel]

in most of the cases I listed it was the nature of the encounter rather (extensive transitioning, one person's mistake will wipe) rather than the sheer DPSfest that made them challenging. (Altho oh dear god Brutallus...)

Caster tanking introduced in BC was sooooooooo twitchy. I had to do Capernian, Leotheras, and probably something else I am forgetting right now. Man it was so bad on transitions.

mage tank in Gruuls? but that was mainly killed by casters anyway so wasnt so bad.

Fuck vaelstraz. that fight was a PITA. twin emps and cthun kinda sucked too. Twin emps not so much after your raid got execution down.
