"WoW obviously isn't for you"

[Greenmagoo]

If you don't like possible human contact, WoW isn't for you.

Eh...about 80% of WoW can be soloed.

Just sayin'.

For some reason those who complain about interaction with other players seem to love LFR and defend it being a large group based activity. If they really hated interaction with others including the downsides of wipes and trolls then would they why are they not pushing for a solo version.

Perhaps I am just the odd one who sticks to doing solo stuff when they dont want to interact with others.

Hah... This is perfect. +100 Internets.

Cheers! Much thanks.

Yep. My bad. Was confusing your posts with micwini's.

*tips hat*

No prob, s' cool

Others who blindly support it, just don't want to believe anyone can not like some aspect of the game.
It's an ego defense tactic.

It depends WHAT you don't like and WHY you don't like it. Like, if you don't enjoy the grinding aspect. Then an MMORPG isn't the game for you anymore. But you might not like the way your class plays anymore, and that's absolutely legitimate.

I just get annoyed when people offer hatred and no constructive reason why.

It's okay to not like an aspect of the game but cover why. Have a legit' reason for it.

I'm still playing my Shaman and I have since TBC but man, I really don't like how spammy Storm Strike is for instance. I spend way, way too much time mashing it. It doesn't feel cool or ironic anymore, when I spend what seems like roughly 70% of the fight mashing that button. I wish Storm Strike resets made it hit harder, not several more times. But with how Doomhammer buffs the hell out of Storm Strike, it'd be hard to go back on that now.

I'm still loving the expac. It has the kind of end game I realize I wish WoW had had all along. There's lot of things to like but my main's playstyle is not one of them, sadly.

Nobody makes that decision for me and anyone who thinks they can are just being assholes. People can say it all they like but there's no reason to ever listen.

Who is making decisions for anyone? When people say "maybe wow isn't for you" it is an opinion based on the content of the post they are replying to which is also based on opinion. Seriously some of you really need to grow the fuck up. Honestly I'm quite happy you are no longer a mod here as you were one of the worst offenders when it came to mods who defended shitposting and trolling so I'm not surprised to see you doing it yet again.

'WoW is not for you@, obviously in some aspects it is not for you. E.g. Some people do not like raiding, some people hate achievements etc. I love WoW but the pet battle aspect is not for me so I believe people should be more specific in their comments instead of just trolling around.

[xanzul]

Not even a single "maybe", either.

I don't think it's my English skills that need to be brushed up on. Now you're just backpedaling without actually making sense. If you're telling someone that WoW isn't for them, you're telling them that WoW doesn't suit their wants/needs. This is incredibly basic stuff.

If a player is unhappy with significant portions of a game in its current state then it is a statement of fact that the game may no longer be for them. In no way does it imply the game is better as is or that it can't be improved just that when it comes right down to it, the player is likely better off finding something else to play until something changes. Maybe if more people upset with wow actually moved on it would kick the wow devs in the rear and get them to make much needed changes but they have absolutely no reason to do so as long as people who hate wow continue to play it day after day month after month year after year all while handing Blizzard $15 every month without fail. it is bad consumerism and encourages bad business practices.

I'm not sure what the target audience is anymore.
Online casino players, maybe?

Thats a scarily accurate assumption.

Do you ever stop whining? When people post on a forum their comments are open to discussion. Don't want your opinion discussed or questioned? Don't post. Simple as that. This isn't a blog or facebook it is a discussion forum.

You're aware we're currently having a discussion right?

[Pickynerd]

When WoW is boiled down to its core you have dungeons and raids with a form of money making and rep grind on the side. Everything in between is trivial gating and grind to keep the flow of 15/12 a month coming in. Also it blows my mind that people are now complaining about RNG, they should be happy they even get loot, in the past you were lucky to get an item, let alone a upgrade item that upgraded again, or a legendary you didn't even have to drop out of college/leave your family to get.

Anyways if you enjoy something, keep doing it, if not... WoW isn't for you.

.

those who blindly support something are as bad as those who go into tantrum because game doesnt go in direction they want - its normal and its mods of forum job to close threads when heat is to strong or there is no discussion only slamming each others with invectives - its new year , tomorrow blizzard emplyees will come back from holidays and managment will be definetly discussing whole matter of ilidan quests and many others which apeared during christams break -

the only ones who are dumb are those who demanded clear answear from blizzard during hcristmas break when those who make those decisions dont work only spend time with family or out of town for example skiiing and doing other stuff.

I'd suggest adding questing to WoW's list of core things. It was part of what set it apart from EQ back in the day, and I think you might start a riot if you stripped questing out from the next expansion. You can avoid it by leveling other ways (though Pathfinder forces you to do Loremaster if you value flying), but you can also avoid raiding and/or dungeons and still have a fairly good WoW experience. WoW without questing is like WoW with dungeons, raiding, or even PvP.

You can be disappointed in something and still enjoy it. And your significant portion part is absolutely irrelevant. Why should a PvP'er have to enjoy PvE? Because that's what you're replying to a discussion where I'm saying that WoW can still be for PvP'ers even if they don't enjoy PvE. Most may play this game for the PvE, but the two are separate.

Maybe if more people upset with wow actually moved on it would kick the wow devs in the rear and get them to make much needed changes but they have absolutely no reason to do so as long as people who hate wow continue to play it day after day month after month year after year all while handing Blizzard $15 every month without fail. it is bad consumerism and encourages bad business practices.

And, without fail, the dismissive "Quit or shutup" argument. People used that at 12m subs and they're using it again now when it's lower. Also, to repeat myself: You can be disappointed in something and still enjoy it. Why quit if I still get enjoyment out of the game?

I hate leveling in this game. It's beyond mediocre imo. Yet if I made a thread asking for changes, the same threads that have been made before regarding leveling, there'd be that one guy (at least one) telling me "WoW isn't for you". Yes, WoW isn't for me despite me enjoying it's endgame PvE and PvP (usually), simply because I don't like leveling.

Funny thing is, for all of the people who would tell me that, Blizzard ended up adding a way to skip the large bulk of leveling. It's almost as if that phrase is absolutely meaningless due to it's overuse by fanboys. I guess WoW is for me and not for them, considering they didn't want that, right?

Something that irks me is whenever somebody complains about one aspect of the game you're guaranteed somebody will say "WoW obviously isn't for you" despite them enjoying other aspects of the game. The only time this sentence is valid is if the person finds nothing fun. I personally don't like raiding or mythics and the amount of people that say this is ridiculous. Mythic and raiding by design is optional content, it isn't mandatory to enjoy WoW, in fact the only mandatory aspect of WoW is levelling (funnily enough the aspect I enjoy most alongside story, quests and RP). Perhaps people can stop telling people WoW obviously isn't for them just because they don't enjoy the same aspects as you.

22K posts and I still don't understand what kind of discussion you want to start. I would had thought you had some more experience.

Link curve.

WoW is not for me anymore. I stopped having fun before world first Fall of the Lich King, yet continued to buy the expansions and play the game all the way up to Legion. Then I realized that I haven't had any real fun in the game for a very long time. I was really just playing out of habit. Because it's what I've always done. So I stopped playing. It really was just that simple.

Now, I'm taking skydiving lessons.

[Kallisto]

The thing I see with the "WoW isn't for you" quote seems to be in a massive reply to the "MMOs are not for you." dismissive quote that people in this forum has thrown out to people who defend concepts like LFD and even LFR because of their own schedules, you can't really expect groups of people to be able to one week be ready midnight, the next 4am, the next 4pm, the next midday etc. People who either work more than one job or have a shift pattern work that the LFD/LFR models work wonders for and should be able to enjoy the game.

Both WoW/MMOs aren't for you comments are by and large stupid comments most of the time, unless you have someone who wants to play wow/mmo and say every single thing in game is wrong and tries to build an RTS as the perfect WoW instead.

Then don't do them. I enjoyed them because it gave me something to do on downtime. Not all content is for everyone. Doesn't mean the content suddenly stops existing.

ofc im not doing them , my battlenet says its WOW , not pokemon

Having optional side content inspired by Pokemon hardly changes WoW to Pokemon. WoW is known for taking inspiration from other games as well as Blizzards own titles for inspiration.

I mean let me know when Pet Battles become an integral part of the game and required for personal character progression then we can call it "WoWkemon". But until then well just seems the issue is you with pet battles and a personal dislike for them. Which is fine not everyone likes certain aspects of things.
