Why did YOU quit WoW?

[Malrubius]

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 found Project 1999.

And WOW was full of to many children who could barely play.

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.

BL represent!

I quit for a lot of the reasons listed already. Gear reset is ridiculous. Cookie cutter gameplay with epics handed out for free. You were 'leet' if you looked like the character next to you. Meaning you had 80% of the population thinking they were awesome and walking around with an elitist attitude, lol.

The polish of WoW is amazing and a lot of the raid encounters were very original. But the base of the game is terrible. You're either max level and "raiding"/arena, or you're not playing WoW. The only other aspect to WoW (other than cybering/being a dbag) was twinking, and they've done a lot to ruin that too.

Simplistic gameplay
The community consists of the dregs of our high schools
Favorite class was poorly implemented
It was not Everquest

WoW was better than EQ Live at the time it came out. Arguably it still is... However, they made a lot of EQ's mistakes and went toward making everyone happy and simplifying it more and more.

EQ Classic is a challenge that nobody today can match. You make a game that hard and gamers don't want to touch it.

I beat the game.
Leveld a warlock pre-2.0 to max.
Then figured out how to chain level alts 1-max when BC came out in a matter of only a few weeks, which honestly left NOTHING to do in the game. To easy, to fast.
