Wow will never end NEVAH!

dunno if it has been quoted or not/seen but still worthy of a re-post if there is one on this thread.

The daily blink summed up this thread in the most epic way possible

Frankly, it doesn't matter if there are 9.6 million people still playing or only one person. The loss of numbers is irrelevant because the game sucks regardless and it's way passed it's prime. Doing the same thing for 8 years straight makes Jack a dull boy. Doesn't matter how you dress it up, a raid is a raid is a raid, a dungeon is a dungeon is a dungeon, etc. I certainly hope that anyone defending WoW is a new player otherwise I pity you for being such a boring person.

First off the game does not suck, secondly, I've been playing since Nov. of 2005 and feel that in many ways, the game is in the best state it has ever been, third, anyone who can't see that 5.2 is probably going to be the best patch ever has to be blinded by hate for Blizzard. I feel sorry for you.

Your whole post did not agree with me but the underlined part was especially wrong. This is the first time I've ever had to say this, but you sound like a fanboy...not saying you are one, but this post certainly makes you sound like you are a blind devotee of Blizzard. >.<

Nothing coming out in 5.2 looks to be exceptional, why are you so excited about it? I can name numerous other patches that had players writhing with excitement, this patch looks decent but certainly not amazing.

Wow, you've been playing the same video game for nearly eight years. You must be a super exciting individual. Honestly, didn't you pause for a second after typing out that you've been playing since Nov. of 2005 and realize how pathetic that is? 2005 - 2013 - YIKES! Also, pretty lol that you think 5.2 is going to be the best patch so far. Though, you probably say that about every patch since you appear to be a mega-fanboy.

(Oh, and yes, the game does suck. Fact. Look it up.)

No not every patch. The current title holder of best ever would be held by 4.2, the Firelands patch, which with the exception of the overtuned Ragnaros encounter was awesome from beginning to end. I also am not aware of any objective reference material I can look up which will say that the game sucks as a proven fact. In fact the overwhelming consensus is completely the opposite. The fact that I and many others, have been playing it since 2005, or even earlier is proof in itself that it does not in fact, suck.

I play a Hunter and 5.2 is going to be the best patch for the class since 4.2 in terms of new tameable beasts and challenges. Aside from that, the storylines and progression will be great for all classes. It's shaping up to be similar to the Sunwell patch but without the huge mistake of the Sunwell raid itself. At least this time everyone should be able to experience everything instead of less than 2% of the participants. Warlocks also have to be very excited by getting something they have wanted for a very long time.

If the negative Nancy's don't like hearing the facts, that is no fault of the vast majority who still enjoy playing the best game ever made.

Firelands was a pretty awesome patch, it's also one of my favorites.

Still agree w/Polly in some regards but your love of Firelands redeems you somewhat.

Anyone wonders why those WoW doomers are posting on a WoW related site? I wonder every second... Are they retarded? Are they insane? Are they unemployed, with no sexual partner or without even a cute cat to keep them occupied? Why the hell care and spend time on something they HATE so much?

your opinion does not equal facts

Where do you look that fact up? Wikipedia, cause its not there. Ask the 9.6 million people subscribed? I'm sure they won't tell you it sucks since they are subscribed but some might. And why does it matter how long a person has been playing a game? I've been living in my same house for almost 6 years now should I get a new one? I've been driving the same car for longer should I get a new one just because?

If a person is still having fun playing the game after any amount of time why is that perceived as a negative? What is pathetic about enjoying a hobby for a long period of time? I've been watching Star Wars movies for 20 years is that pathetic too?

As for the topic of the patch, yes 5.2 is certainly going to be one of the better patches. How great remains to be seen on how good the actual raid turns out to be. But it has been compared to Ulduar alot and that instance has been considered to be one of the best raids Blizzard has done. Also it has a world boss that might need more then one 40-man heroic geared group to kill.

It is going to be awesome, unless you no longer like WoW or play it. But if that is the case why even care about subscriber numbers or this discussion?

good old Flame bait and that same could be said about the Legion of Fanboys

Then why exactly do you think 5.2 isn't going to be an awesome patch?

I've been doing life for 24 years, i must be a really pathetic person too for doing the same thing for so long.

Don't twist my words

^ that is all opinion which he claimed was facts.

But to answer you the patch seems meh dailies, Raid etc nothing really making it THE BEST PATCH EVER IN WOW!!!!!! that's my opinion.

I gotcha. You don't think it will be good just because you don't. There aren't any more dailies the most Major WoW content patches and the Raid is supposed to be similar to one of the best raids in the history of WoW (Ulduar). And I didn't twist any of your words, I asked you a question based on your implication that you don't think 5.2 will be an awesome patch.

the bold is more opinion. Some of us do not enjoy dailies. Some do not care about raiding.

[rhorle]

It isn't just an opinion. It is a widely regarded opinion that Ulduar is one of the best raids ever introduced into WoW. Since you disagree what would qualify as one of the best raids in WoW? Also why do you keep deferring your answer? Let me rephrase it then, What activity would make it an awesome patch for you?

It also begs the question, if you don't enjoy any of the activities in the game why do you stay and discuss the game? And rate patches for a game you don't like? Move on.

Serious question: who REALLY likes dailies? By "like" I do not mean simply tolerate, I mean actually look forward to doing them...

[rhorle]

I do. They are quick, easy and fun and they give something to do when I'm waiting for other things. I prefer the Tillers and Golden lotus dailies and rarely do the others because I like them less (I am exalted with everything). My only issue with them is that they can't be done in a raid group as that can be a perfect time to knock some out. (While you wait for people to show up, or if you are stand by and what not). Why not dailies, what else would you be doing? One time quests? Sitting in a city? AoE farming things for rep or gold? You don't even have to do them if you don't want to. Yes even the MoP dailies are optional.

I really don't see any good reasons why someone would be utterly against an activity that has you playing the game. If you dislike playing the game that much then why even play it in the first place?

You don't need to enjoy all aspects of a game to still enjoy playing the game...dailies would be much better if they could be done in a raid group, agreed. You can pvp now in a raid grp at least.

Still think it's weird that people "enjoy" something so monotonous and repetitive, but I agree with the rest of what you said.
