Why did YOU quit WoW? - Page 7

I loved WoW and especially WOTLK for a while.

The highlight of the game for me was when I was in a semi underdog but at times decent raiding guild where I was the raid leader and main tank and we 1 shotted Mimmiron 25 on our first guild attempt. Altho many of us had experience with him on 10 man. But that was a great moment for me as a raid leader.

I also had memories of killing Yogg Saron on 10 man, that was a seriously intense boss fight. These were the high points for me.

I started to dislike WoW after they released the Trial of the Crusader series of raids. First of all you had 10 and 25 man mode, second of all you had 10 heroic and 25 heroic mode, then they released Onyxia, and that stupid Trial of the Champion 5 man dungeon had trinkets that everyone got super greedy over, kinda bottle necked loot a little more than WoW usually does.

Between Trial of the Crusader 10/25 10h/25h, Onnyxia 10/25 (was there a heroic?), and the endless heroic farming, and those wintergrasp bosses, not to mention dailies to cover the repair bills, wow became a part time job. If you wanted to keep up with the Joneses, your guild, other guilds, you had to play a LOT, too many raids to keep up with in a given week, plus dailies, I was tired of the rat race.

I loved WOW but I started to dislike it as I left it, now I've contemplated playing some WoW free shards, but I realize I would end up in the same spot where I just don't like the game anymore. I loved raiding, but I think they over did the variations on a single instance.

I quit during SSC as our guild was doing Vashj. Was just sick of it. My guild ended up being the second guild on our server to down her.

Main reason? the community in wow is freaking disgusting. Worst bunch of people ive ever dealt with in my life in a gaming community.

Other reasons?..Sooo many really bad players, like really bad, game is too easy to level. Once you quickly get to 80 nothing to do but gear grind. When you get a new 80 (i have 80 80's) you cant do shit with the new ones because you have to have a rediculous gearscore to do anything) I have a 6043 enhance shammy http://www.wowarmory.com/character-s...dan&cn=Voodduu and a 5660 holy paly http://www.wowarmory.com/character-s...&cn=Holyspells that basicly just sit doing nothing because i dont have time to do a steady raid anymore and the pugs are horrible.

The game was just too freaking easy, starting at level 1.

I am totally serious that I spent the first 20 minutes in the game trying to figure out how to turn off what I thought were tutorial question marks above the NPC's heads.

And for those who only list raid mobs and other high-end encounters as what is difficult about WoW - you just made my point even clearer. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Death penalty too harsh for me. Lolol

I haven't logged in for over a month. I have a nearly maxed character and have never had the will to level a second... just to max it out. WoW was and is infinitely easier than EQ.

Then, early this week I learned about P1999. I don't think I'll be logging back into Wow for quite a while.

I might try the expansion when it hits, but if P99 continues to make me feel like it has... I'm not going back.

If that occurs... that 16 bucks a month would have to go to p99.

I played WoW since the US beta, was immediately baffled by the quality of the game.
Beta WoW was already more polished than live everquest could ever have been.

Had a lot of fun in vanilla
TBC was OK
WotLK sucks bigtime.

Blindly rushing in a pack of mobs, AoE tanking, AoE kill everything without a sweat is not funny.
Especially after the XXth run.

I had played vanilla WoW from release and quit playing very shortly after BC, however, a friend and I decided to spend our gold and play around with some lvl 39 twink pvp characters. That was an absolute boatload of fun (our battlegroup had a sizeable twink community, but it needed casual players to exist), so naturally when they decided to throw the hammer down and introduce PvP experience it just absolutely destroyed the twink battleground timers, and if we wanted to enjoy a night of pvp we'd be waiting hours for only a couple matches.

That and the game is now just ludicrously easy.
