    Without a doubt!

    Also, it seems to me that with the new talent system in WoW they are actually trying to have less abilities for you to use.

    On topic: I wouldn't recommend buying it if you're not sure. Take a look at some articles, videos, pictures, forum posts, discussions, etc and come to your own conclusion. You should only buy something when you feel 100% comfortable with it.

    This is quite true, and I have actually considered buying it now, but the only problem is that by the time my internet finishes downloading the game, there would have been no point in paying for early access. If I get it (which is looking more and more likely), it will be a physical copy as to make installing it easier.

    The lack of brains in this thread is making my fucking head spin.
    defend gw2 all you want, but spouting bullshit about WoW won't fool anyone who knows how to play the game, i guess we got a LFR badass or something? not a hunter who plays at 2.4k rating and probably uses like 30 keybinds in 1 arena match eh?

    i'm not going to try insult GW2 because i know nothing about it, and you shouldn't try insult WoW because clearly you know nothing about it apart from how to play classes badly on very easy content.

    Just what exactly was I saying that came across as facts? I can't tell because you chose to edit what I said like a clown.

    And no shit people are entitled to their own opinion, but it's not my fault that their opinions make no sense due to their lack of knowledge on the game.

    Fireball, scorch, pyroblast, living bomb, combustion. That's five. What else is there to use during in a standard boss encounter hmm?

    Edit: GW2 servers are up! And away we go!!!

    standard? i was talking proper heroic modes pre-nerf.

    blink
    ice block
    mage ward
    clones
    racial ability
    flame orb
    flame strike
    blast wave
    fire blast (impact)
    mana gem
    counterspell (not often)
    spellsteal (rarely)
    evocation

    so yeh 3-6 binds indeed, good to see you play a fire mage without even using flame orb.

    Stupid remarks and fanboism aside (the people claiming only the cool kids can play this game for example and claiming that WoW is easy or simple or whatever), I as a fan of both can tell you that if you're still unsure, then wait for a demo to be released. You can't access MoP with a trial for WoW, but I'm fairly sure GW2 will get one eventually.

    But yes, if you do feel that it's appealing, then you should buy it. Nobody can tell you for sure if you'll regret it or not.

    They're both 12+, that's about the one thing they have in common. 2 different mmorpgs, offering different content and challenges. Oh, and they also have in common that there are a lot of self-proclaimed know-it-alls around bashing other games to e-peen themselves and the game they're playing.

    Yeah, I don't need to hear people arguing about whether or not WoW is easy, or mage rotations being easy or not etc, or whether I should play one or the other. It has nothing to do with my original question I only mentioned MoP because I am on the fence about it, just like this game. I might not play either, or might play both, or only one. I shall decide when the time comes. The part about the trial is also a good idea.

    At this point, I am thinking I might buy it, but I am not "hooked in" as of yet.

    He did say standard boss encounter, not hc Ragnaros. How many keybinds do you need for a arcane mage?

    Anyways Wow is completely dumbed down compared to what it used to be, IN BC it wasn't just raids that provided a challenge. In Cata it's only HM raids for PVE content. MoP scenerios and HC dungeons are a absolute mindless aoe snoozefest.

    Yes, standard, just as I said in one of my previous posts. Standard as in using the core abilities that you use most in your average dps/healing/tanking rotation. Every ability that you listed is an ability that is not needed for these rotations, except for flame orb in which I forgot to add. Sue me.

    Seeing as you did not understand what I said at all do you want another example?

    Corruption, bane of agony, UA, haunt, shadowbolt

    Rend, mortal strike, slam, overpower, heroic strike, execute

    Explosive shot, black arrow, arcane shot, kill shot, cobra shot

    Understand what I'm saying now? because I think I was quite clear in the first place.

    Why do HM mode if you can clear the content in LFR now, is it really worth the time doing HMs when you could spend that time doing something else and experiencing other things in life. Sure it was worth doing the content in BC and even up until end of WOLTK, however after 4.3 raiding has lost it's prestige with LFR.

    If it was dumbed down, I wouldn't enjoy it. You think it is? Fine, but don't claim it to be fact and thereby pointing all players out to be "dumb". I play GW2 as well, what does that say about THIS game? Hmm?

    Oh, and I've done plenty of the older raids with level-appropriate toons in tbf lackluster gear and nobody breaching level requirements...I now find anyone claiming that BC or Classic raiding was the pinnacle of WoW gameplay to be a complete imbecile. Mount Hyjal especially gives me this outlook.

    This reasoning is just pure win...how about for the REAL encounters? The best rewards? Guild progression? Having fun with friends (can't come from LFR).

    Seriously, just /shoo. Respect the OP and don't bash other games to make yours look better...it doesn't work.

    Also, as someone else stated, back in BC and classic there were less abilities that people used. (Curse of shadows, shadowbolt spam. Scorch X5, fireball spam, keep up scorch. just for example)

    I am talking about experiencing the content, anyone can now which is great but there is a lot of people that play for the challenge of seeing the content within a guild structure. The fact that you can clear the content in LFR without a guild structure makes guilds and raiding less meaningful imo. Especially for new players who don't have friends ingame.

    So in terms of clearing the content BC was a lot harder then Cata. You have to compare the easiest way of clearing the content. Does DW die differently in HM compared to LFR? Is there additional Lore for doing HM mode. Do HM titles and Mounts get removed in MoP. The answer to all these questions is NO. We learnt the hardway with LK 25 heroic.
