Plays same game for 6ish years, is surprised it isn't as compelling as it was 6 years ago.
At least thats what I took away from the TC.

READ and be less Ignorant.
It's not the expansion that's boring people, it's the length of the game.
I mean, some of you have been playing for what, 7 or 8 years? Of course you're beginning to feel burnt out. That's an average of 1/8th OF YOUR LIFE spent playing this game.
The game is old, you're getting older.
I'm having a blast with Mists but the game has changed, and for some they don't like it or just aren't interested in it any longer.
I find it boring sometimes, but i worked an efficient tactic to avoid stopping having fun:
-I focus on ONE character (i'd rather explode than level another alt to level 90) so i don't have to worry about capping valor for every one of them
-To cap valor, just do one scenario+ heroic dungeon and maybe the daily Ironpaw quest at the farm.
-After i'm done with the daily amount of valor, i can do: pet battles, PvP, LFR, solo, farm, achievements, Sha of Anger, look for rares, Brawler's pub, work on Feats of Strength, gear up my level 19 alt, log other characters to do other stuff.
I did every dailies, every day, with my main character, until exalted. This way i was soon done.
I quit in cata nov 2011. Not much about MoP made me excited to go back, and from reading it doesnt seem like I missed much. Pvp seems to still be broken, raids are raids, more dailies and Im not a fan of dailies anymore, and then petbattles but you need to be interested in that =) Leaves professions and AH domination, and that was the last thing I did in cata and it didnt cut it for a subfee for me.
What would have kept me in game would have been changes to pvp, bring back skirmishes, make it easier to take part in rated battlegrounds (solo queue for group option), but that didnt happen in MoP and now I just cant see myself ever get interest in this game anymore. I still check in every now and then in this part of the forum to see what happens(if Im bored and no news in my other favourite subforums) and it pretty much seems like same ol =)
It's not that Im running out of games, since I have little gametime Planetside2 is good enough for me now, I also have GW2 on the shelf that I have far from completed yet, and some interesting games incoming. The good thing with the market these days is that wow has competition of many good games out there. You arent forced to stay because there's no other options like some years ago. Give other games a chance, many of them wont cost you anything, and then see if you want to come back to wow... or still keep your sub but login when you feel that it's a fun thing to do. The game itself wont change in any gamebreaking way, so if you are bored... find ways not to be. The game also isnt going anywhere, your characters will remain in same place next time you login, it's ok to do something else or try something else... make use of the short time we have here on planet earth =)
You think the raids are boring because there are a few "fun" fights? You mean EASY? lol. Just because some fights are challenging doesnt make them not fun, maybe to you, but that is the entire point of raiding for most of the community...challenge. I think T14 raids were very well done. Sure there are some mistakes like making elite protectors too easy, etc. But still, overall I think they did a good job with raids.
As for dailies, 5-mans, etc I think they could have done a bit better. Obviously everyone complains about too many dailies, and to get 90 coins a week is insane after a few months. The 5-mans seemed like too little, yeah obviously anything is going to get boring after awhile, but hearing that they arent adding anymore in 5.2 is quite disappointing.
Normally when I get bored on my main I level up alts. MOP has mostly killed that for me. I've got my level 90 main, one level 90 alt, and two level 88 mages - it was all I could stand. My alt won't be getting any reps up, which means they won't be getting any valor gear. I've just gotten her high enough ilvl to run the various LFRs. I'm not going to do that again. My level 85 rogue/DK/warlock/priest/druid/paladin and level 15 monk just won't be played this expansion.
Why not?
1. CRZ. Yes, I get it - I'm the only person on the planet who doesn't completely love CRZ. Whatever. I frigging hate CRZ and it makes me not want to play those zones.
2. VP gear gated on reputations. Multiple reputations. Which you must do dailies to get. I hate the dailies. I'm still not exalted with all the reps on my main because I hate them so badly.
So yes, I'm bored with MOP. There's stuff for me to do but nothing I actually enjoy, aside from raiding. So I mostly just raid.
I just started to play MoP (I stopped on early Cataclysm) and i'm not bored at all, the game is, in my opinion, better than when i stopped to play it.
Hey buddy, I came across this severely about a month and a half ago and found an amazing solution.
Not sure if you are a reader, but diving into the lore has truly let me appreciate the game so much more. I am reading the books chronologically through Warcraft time, and have found myself rerolling and taking the time to read the quests and essentially become the character. Yes yee ol' maryjane has been my best friend through this adventure, but its opening my eyes to aspects of the game I never even cared about in the slightest.
Do yourself a favor and begin with "The Rise of the Horde", followed by "The Last Guardian". Amazing reads.
I have been playing since vanilla and have ridden this crazy roller coaster of up and downs with WoW, and have recently never found myself more IN LOVE with the game after diving into the books.
enjoi
No, now can we stop having this same thread pop up every other day?
Isn't the point of an expansion to reinvigorate peoples interest in the game? If it doesn't then i am going to have to blame the expansion. For me this expansion lost its luster pretty fast. I only log on now to do LFR and enough daily quests to valor cap. I actually just started playing GW2 not long ago on the side but now wow has become my side game. If 5.2 is more content and story gated behind daily quests then i think it will be See ya next expansion!
Maybe it's because I started post-WoTLK, but it's cool to me thus far. Obviously they're some changes I'm not fond of, but generally I like the content.
The term is bored WITH Mop not bored OF mop. And no.
To be fair, MOP is GORGEOUS. When it first launched I called it "WoWHD". There's lots of things about it that are great, it's just hard to appreciate them all the time since so many new features conspired to make me hate the land, the factions, and the people I meet in it.
"...money's most powerful ability is to allow bad people to continue doing bad things at the expense of those who don't have it."
Should make a poll. Yes though.
Yes im done with Mop for now, im waiting for 5.2 to see if it brings anything interesting. The game is not fun right now, pvp is ridiculous with all the burst dps classes have, and pve is too straight forward theres only like 4 or 5 fun fights out of 16 bosses. It was fun for the 1st 3 months but i just cant play the game anymore.
MoP is amazing, compare what you can do now, to what you could do this point in Cata, or even Wrath...
I basically stopped playing a year ago. I played for so long doing my own thing and joining guilds and trying to raid but it doesn't matter what I do, I'd always be an outsider (even in guilds where i live in the same house as the GM!). Always turned up on time if I said I would, always put other things on hold and never got anything back.
About a year ago I started to change thing and don't miss a thing (with year pass + diablo CE, my sub doesn't end for another few months). I don't have even the slightest urge to log on for even 1 minute anymore. MoP had so much in it but it's still the same old thing.
I'm not sure that it's Blizzard or the games fault, but we are all starting to get older and have been playing for so long... I think it's just time.
