Should I play WoW again?

[Kyeguywar]

I used to play WoW from Vanilla to Mid-Cataclysm. I used to enjoy playing hours and hours on the game leveling up my warrior/priest and eventually raiding with them. However, in Cata everything just got dry for me. The raiding wasn't very fun and i just found myself sitting in Stormwind/Other major cities. Just wondering, Is there anything in MoP thats better than the other expansions?

[Kurioxan]

Hmmmm....
Short answer, no.

If you managed to get away from it, stay away, nothing there is worth returning tbh.

Compared to Cata the end game is miles better. Much more to do. You wont stay in cities because of that. Massive amount of content. No debate there really. My guild is really happy with this expansion so far and it looks good going intot he future. Raiding has been fine but the other stuff is a huge upgrade from Cata.

Bear in mind people on forums tend to be negative nancys. The comment like the above doesnt really qualify why it isnt worth coming back to.

I played from the release of Maraudon in 2005 until one one month pre-MoP release,

I'm considering returning just to quest, hear the music, and view the beautiful zones since I've heard so many wonderful things about it all.

I was sceptical going in, but one thing is for sure Blizzard was not lying when they said they wanted to get people out in the world. I barely stay in a major city ( including the ones in the Vale) for more than 5-10 minutes because I have more than enough to do right now. Granted alot of it involves dailies at times, but still it does give you something.

Heroics are faceroll easy though, so go in expecting End of WotLK vs Cata/TBC level of difficulty. The good ( or bad depending on how you look at it) thing though is once you get the 463 gear, there isn't much need to run them over and over every day.

I will also add that the leveling experience is pretty good too.

[Bazinater]

Yes it is so much better!

[Buxton McGraff]

MoP has been a great expansion so far. I'm loving that dailys give you valor. I never minded doing dailys, just couldn't justify doing all that work for such little pay. Now that you can get gear from it, it's pretty cool.

[Fullgore]

No run! I made the mistake of coming back.

[sam86]

Not if your main focus is pvp
Pve: not sure, depend what you liked in pve

[Yerbury]

Surely the divergence of opinion above suggests that this is an entirely subjective issue. No one can tell whether it is 'worth it' for you to come back or not. Everyone's impressions of Pandaria are different; I disagree with a fellow guildie on Pandaria's pros and cons, whereas we were in complete agreement re: Northrend.

Do you have a friend who is still playing? Perhaps an hour or two watching him/her in the new zones would be helpful in getting a taste of what this expansion is all about.

[iceberg265]

No you should not.

If you are looking to get back into MMOs, pick a different one. There is at least four MMOs on the market that are currently better choices than WoW.

[Pejo]

Just wait for the 10 day trial if you're on the fence. There is plenty of reasons to come back but you're the only one who you'll truly know.

[Bloodhawk675]

I'd deffinately say yes.. I took a hiatus for a few months and then played GW2 for alittle bit.. wasn't at all what I really wanted, and got super bored after like 2 weeks. When MoP came out, I waited a few weeks, then just recently got it. It's a blast honestly. Beautiful zones and dungeons, Monks are fun, some of the zones quests are great. Was a breath of fresh air for me.

No it sucks right now.

I would advise not coming back for this expansion.

I have been locked into the Annual Pass agreement so I had to try out the expansion since my sub wont expire for a bit. It's horrible. Probably the worst expansion to date imo. PvE is lacklustre and the PvP is horribly imbalanced and plays like its beta....

Seems they put all their efforts into mini-games such as the pet battle system so they can sell more pets and make more cash at the expense of quality gameplay and content.

Not to mention they've messed up the lore hard by trying to market to asians and younger kids by basing the whole storyline on chinese pandas. Its world of chinacraft: mists of pandaland at the moment, and its horribly written from the quest lore to the instance lore.

I would advise checking up on the forums about the next expansion when its about to come out instead of returning to WoW now. Thats what I am gonna do once my sub ends. Worst expansion so far.

Good luck.

I agree with this tbh.

Though I have to say, there is so much to do, the only reason to get back into WoW at this stage is if you really have NOTHING else going for you. It's way to time consuming with 500 dailies to do...

[WarpKnight]

Many haters in this thread O_O oh well, haters gonna hate!

Yes OP, the game is substantially improved from Cataclysm in regards to the afking in cities/world of queuecraft issues. If you enjoyed the game all that time (vanilla to mid-cata), it's fair to say you're going to enjoy the new stuff.

I disagree. This is just the.. what? third week? Then of course, I was too doing many things in Cataclysm. You have to look at it from a perspective of where the player see their-selves in a month or two, because let's face it, that's what wow is. Its super amazing at first but in a month, you start to doubt paying for the subscription.

I didn't play it since my account has been locked, so my opinion is crap but I do know that you are going to need to wait after a month or two, that's the only way to get a good answer.

[Vokal]

it's fair to say you're going to enjoy the new stuff.

500 pointless dailies, farmville, pokemon, worthlessly imbalanced pvp, no successor to TB and less than a handful of lacklustre chinese looking raids and 5 mans is all you have to look forward to OP.

If you like those then go ahead. I am regretting supporting this new lazy direction the devs are taking with my cash. Horrible.

[Arbs]

We can't tell you to play a game or not, only you can make that choice. but I would say the game has changed alot & the land of Pandaria is actually alive with people all over the place & not confined in cities.

I always try to support & allow people to have there opinions, but this one I can't, it just sounds like the poster never even made it to 86 or to pandaria at all. Just looks like a bashing post with no source or feedback to prove the claims at all. There a couple others in the thread aswell, but this one sticks out like a sore thumb.
