Why did you stop playing World of Warcraft?

Why did you stop playing World of Warcraft?

community

mmorpg elements being removed

focus on 2vs2 shit

focus on tranny mode

layering/sharding/merging servers without merging them

gear reset every patch or every 2 years

my free trial ran out

I had to move out of mommy's house and by the time I got myself situated, it was already too late for me to continue playing. I dodged a bullet too because look at what it's become.

I did everything I wanted to do. All my friends quit years ago, I only kept logging in out of nostalgia and comfort.

I'm just going to play MoP Arenas one more time, maybe some TBC, then I'm done for good (for real this time)

Because 4 different difficulties in Trial of the Crusader broke my guild. I came back for a sightseeing tour through Icecrown Citadel with a pug a few months later but didn't stick around.
I did get a free 10 days e-mail when WoD released but after hitting the level cap there I did not want to pay a sub fee to play farmville.

If I ever play WoW again it would only be on a single-player server that I locally host myself, emulating the classic client since I heard it allows you to switch the localized language on the fly and language learning is pretty much the only reason I play videogames for anyway.

never played it

I never got into M+ but also the seasonal content pacing just rubbed me the wrong way. I don't like gear treadmills.
Last time I nolifed WoW was way back in WoD and I don't miss it.

I left for college and started pounding pussy and drinking alcohol and didn't have time for it anymore

This. I played Matrix Online instead.

you just know

Timed dungeons, mechanics that were made to waste my time and the lore/story going to hell.

WoW for me was a side game to relax, and to waste time when there weren't any interesting releases.
When it tried to become something else, it just lost its appeal to me.

pounded hand*
we all know you're a coping incel loser

mmos are all designed to waste time and create addiction, especially when they're sub based like wow. In free mmos they also frustrate and blue ball you 24/7

see this cool thing?

you can't have it

unless you buy some stuff from the cash shop

;) ;)

needs pubic hair

They stripped down classes to make them all play too similarly for the sake of raiding.

They also stripped away all the meaningful non-combat perks of classes.

They stripped away the feeling of a large world.

They stripped away the mystique of the world setting.

Even a reboot couldn't save it for me at this point.

I heard there was now a local WoW game with bots that behavr like players.

I played in a top guild and got burnt out by the alting, m+ spam and borrowed power grinding. Classic was coming out so I gave that a try but Classic players are beyond garbage and I was used to a much different pace and skill level so I just decided to start from scratch in FFXIV and have been playing that ever since.

Because it doesn't look like that screenshot.

uhhh but I never did???

it's the only good MMO that's out and that's been a constant since 2004

because 11.0.5 didn't look any fun and i just never reupped since then

We want the ffxiv audience

...

I just play ascension from time to time, do some prestige challenges and try new builds, much better than chasing the dragon all the time

Soulless and boring gearscore treadmill, this was during Wrath.
Played Cataclysm for a few hours and then uninstalled for good.

Never started. Theme park MMOs have never interested me. But I'll jerk it to the pandas.

I never started
Love alex though

i still hop on a random private server every few years and play until im max level and quit. end game is boring

I stopped when they added a level boost and store mount to Burning Crusade Classic.
That was the expansion I was most excited for, even before Classic launched. That just killed all good will I had left in the game, and the company.
I gave away all my gold, deleted all my characters and left forever.

built for BWC

Why do you keep playing WoW still?

I didn't

Humanoid form

Disgusting.

I never started

I reached max level and it started being a daily chore simulator. This was during WotLK too, which was their peak expansion. Raiding and dungeons just aren't as fun as the main adventure across the world.

dumbed down exploration

sense of endgame progression tied to the world itself gutted for immediate satisfaction and railroad themepark

world building increasingly becoming an afterthought (really started with Illidan being a raid boss for me)

celestial steed and everything afterwards that led to Blizzard gutting everything they can get away with for profit

I had a lot of breaks during the time I actively played (during the AQ patch), but I completely stopped playing at the start of BFA and never looked back nor regretted it.
I can't see myself go back to Blizzard games, even though I loved Warcraft and Diablo, which is a shame.

It ruined my life and my grades. Quit cold turkey and never went back, never will.

I tried it after enjoying hearthstone for years. I only paid for a subscription and didnt get the expansion so i was locked out of most 'current' content. I played during shadowlands I think so that means I was playing through BFA content and the level cap was 50. I played through the main quest on 2 characers, one on alliance and and one on horde playing solo. I didnt make any friends while playing it so i had no real attachment to the game or desire to play more, I quit after 3-4 months,
The biggest mistake I made was creating my first character on a dead "new player server" and it was stuck there unless i gave blizzard another 25 dollars, and i didnt realize my mistake until it was too late
Dont play WOW or HS anymore, still like the girls tho

I didn't.
Matter of fact I'm going to play some keys on my bussin af Frost DK later today.

start censoring harmless cartoon cleavage and jokes from 10 years ago

I deleted my bnet account

More like bussy

Sneedolands irrecovably ruined the game

There are several single player repacks with NPC's that you can group with or change the variables to make group content soloable. The "best" for Vanilla to WotLK is called SPP (Single-Player-Project) and I think it even allows you to progress through the expansions with your characters. For later xpacs things vary a lot in quality just like private servers with some gatekeeping things behind a paywall even.
Emucoach and Ownedcore forums are the best place I have found for resources.

I was too much of a poorfag to play it when it was at its peak, later I ran through the leveling experience on a private server just to see the sights but it was too dead to be worth really investing in.

when time sensitive participation rewards started eclipsing every other form of progression
also how non sensical the visual identity of the game became

Literally just play Cata-WoD classic

Devs are homos and completely out of touch and/or just downright lazy.

alexstraza with huge sagging veiny tits and a chubby belly and a hairy pussy is PEAK perfection of the milf body type.

it's boring as fuck

I already did long ago. Revisiting it is worth a month at best sometime in the future.

The same people who butchered a once great game aren't going to be making a good game anytime soon.

Why does she love the Horde so much?

i didnt, im still playing

because you´re brown in body and soul and need to compensate for your inherent inferiority by pretending your fantasy stand in (orcs) gets all the pussy (he doesnt)

because tauren dick best dick

Because it offered nothing of substance. Every update made the game worse and decided that doing the same quests over and over again every day for reputation was something good, because it forced people to engage in the same area.

she prefers worgen actually

tab target is gay and I'm not giving blizzard money ever again. I've thought about playing a private server but they all look like the populations all consist of 300 multiboxers and 30 actual players

It just wasn't fun anymore. Warlords even managed to suck out what little vestige of player interaction I was getting so by that point I was just playing a really subpar rpg. At that point, why bother?

still play it, just not retail
I dropped Classic for all of Wrath and I'm getting back into it this past week to get ready for MoP, after which I'll quit Classic again

It has things I like, I've tried it multiple times, but I can just never stick with it.
UI is such a cluster fuck, hate relying on add-ons for literally everything, and current devs continue to prove they don't understand the real issues by adding a "1 button rotation" feature.
But I hope the game continues for a long time so I can continue to get porn of Night Elves.

Are they pooping back and forth forever?
))<=>((

We want the ffxiv audience

They always did.

But I hope the game continues for a long time so I can continue to get porn of Night Elves.

The porn scene is already dead. Easily the worst thing about WoW's death.

Nah I play(ed) XIV and this disgusts me.
I'll be pissed if they ever add this shit to 14. But with its current direction, who knows they just might.

She hates the horde because they raped her and made her children into war slaves
Not only are the horde actual evil pieces of shit but they're the worst kind; the spineless faggots that need to be good guys at the same time with gay excuses for everything
Fucking pathetic, kill all horde niggers. If you're going to be an evil cunt then embrace it because at least then you have a personality

Night Elves don't poop. Sorry anon.

The porn scene is already dead.

Not in my experience.

Didn't this chick getting kidnapped and made those be a breeding sexslave to make more dragons?

they slaughtered world pvp, the only thing i cared about

What about the other lady? if she poops first then the elf can poop it back

It doesn't actually look like that.

I'm actually going to start, thanks to the one-button rotation patch.

TRVTH NVKE

I leave that up to your imagination.

They look like they don't fuck human men

111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111

How exciting.

too expensive
grinding isn't fun
dealing with raid faggotry gear checking is worse
pvp was basically a one sided fistfight somehow:
Alliance sucked at everything but the stupid AV, Horde somehow won everything else.
Queue times reflected it too.

it was just a shit game I got psyop'd into as a teen because "everyone was doing it bros."

classic is solved, retail is a collectathon with no community

is that drawing supposed to be arousing or?

because the fuck human women

I joined Late MoP before WoD because I had money and tranny friends (before things went full retarded and I learned how awful and shitty these people were by playing 'therapist' to people who don't want to admit they are the problem)

I stuck around until first raid of Shadowlands where the amount of changes, lore rape and retardation of the new narrarive sucked so fucking hard.

I'm back on for Mists classic, but unless they unrape themselves and release "Warlords of Draenor but with zero tranny stuff, all the cutting room floor shit and not doing Legion (Which I highly fucking doubt)" then I have zero interest in watching them have to rexplain releasing the "Selfie patch"

I can goon and raid at the same time.

Why did you stop playing World of Warcraft?

The short answer is Cataclysm.
The longer answer is that the changes to how Cataclysm changed how content worked revealed something to me that hit me like a ton of bricks when it happened - I wasn't having fun, and I hadn't had fun in awhile. I was logging into World of Warcraft largely out of habit.
I'd spend hours logged in, running in circles around Ogrimmar, waiting for... something. Some reason to justify having logged in today. And one day, while moving in those circles, I stopped and looked at what I was doing. I'd been logged in for an hour, and I hadn't done anything but run in laps. I hadn't spoken with anyone. I hadn't done any content. I didn't really want to do any content because doing the content didn't make my feel any better. I was wasting my time - I literally could be playing video games in a more productive manner.
I logged out.

There would be one attempt later, during Mists, to see if I just needed time away.
I did not. I had paid for a month. Within 2 hours I had reached the same conclusion I reached previously - this game made me feel nothing.

Frost mage bros, we're coming home.

tried once, reached lvl 2, knew from the start this task manager simulator wasnt for me

Why did you stop playing

The grind is unbearable
Even after they made the push to normalize it with the warband thing (which did help for all of a few months) I would much rather play FFXIV if the intent is to grind.
Honestly baffled that the Devs are so staunchly against the idea of letting you multi-class on one character at this point. Like really, the only reason for it is so you can't use the same gear across different classes on one character all so they keep you on the rat wheel.
Honestly, with as often as they pine for the FFXIV base, why won't they just do this one thing?

We want the ffxiv audience.

The funnier thing is that FFXIV only had auto-combo enable in PvP. In normal content you're still expected to do your rotation.

I started WoW too late to care (legion) and bfa and shadowlands were horrible to play.

should also be noted that xiv's pvp has entirely different ability sets than the standard pve toolkits

The PVP made me more willing to accept "limited" auto combos. Specifically combos, not rotations, if it allows them to add more unique combat mechanics. Though something tells me the unique combat mechanics they added are going to stop at the PVP unfortunately.
1 button rotation is something I'd actually unsub from 14 over.

Honestly the butchered the lore and world so badly I will never touch retail again. Every once in a while me and my buds will play some version of classic for a bit.

After a whole bunch of awful expacs we then had legion where a bunch of who the fucks defeated Sargeras.
At that point I knew without a doubt that I hated blizzard with all of my hate.
Pretty much everything that happened in Legion was dogshit in fact. I'd use all my three genie wishes to make that guy Methzen make the next expac all about how everything that happened after LK was just some horrible dream Yoggsaron put us in during the fight.

reboot wow

factionless from the start

focus on rep grinds which open up faction style content

can just cut the retarded lore out

no danuser

it could almost be good.

Just like Overwatch, it's only good for porn now.

because op pic doesnt exist or gets censored

stormwind has niggers now

partyfinder

megaserver system

horde bias

official pay to win elements thanks to wow tokens

player character is just a background character despide being the one who kills all the bad guys

pvp arenas that ruined battlegrounds

i can go on but that are some of the reasons i quit after the garrison siege shit in BfA where horde got to be first and alliance had to wait days for an addon feature

I'm going to goon to elves.

I would unironically love an alternate universe (NOT multiverse) spinoff that starts at the end of warcraft 3 and either focuses on a large scale rts or a single player rpg.

You would need to pay me 45$/h to play this shit.

more exciting than playing the piano

I keep howling into the void that they should just take sc2's coop mode and make wc4 from it. Hero with a specialized tech tree built around them, fan favorite characters from wc/wow/hs can fill out the roster.
Missions can be pretty much anything, defend an evacuation in the plague lands, put a stop to a second gnoll war, escort venture company through a jungle, siege ahn'qiraji.
Launch with the 8 races from vanilla wow and pay for continued support with new heroes and stupid cosmetics for them.

I would take it a step further and add draenei, they are a good addition if you rework the lore a bit.

What I would really love is an rpg/rts hybrid like what kingdom under fire tried to do. Add base building and voila, my dream game.

there are simply not enough loli elves or draenei. its unfair.

Ship of Theseus.

based. no excuse for them to ever touch that shit before taking care of the absolute state of everything else in the game. it only went to show how they think fag centaurs/frogs is perfectly fine which is just blatant, lazy, and tasteless zsrr style demoralization propaganda; anyone giving them even half a dime as a sign for support of that shit needs to seriously reconsider their life choices, I'm sorry

wrathbabbies don't realize they removed a bunch of /silly and /flirt in wrath already

I did not read the thread.
I have spilled buckets of cum to NoName55's videos of Elizabeth giving titfucks to dogs.
Have a nice day everyone.

They'd come later, i just think the 8 vanilla races would provide a good baseline
Humans would be all arounders but with strong endgame support spells
Dwarves would be slow and hefty with their infantry units also functioning as builders
gnomes would be rapid hit and runs with deep strike effects at the top end
night elves would be harassers making use of treants and stealth to keep enemy waves from building up
orcs would be about aggression using pillage effects to power out buffers
trolls are an attrition faction, that use summons and regens to come out ahead
tauren would be an elite army, with high cost units that can easily fight outnumbered
undead would be the swarm faction with cheap disposable units to bog down high value targets

I just lost interest, and it wasn't fun anymore.
