I'm giving my honest opinion on people and their ideas, some might see it as being an asshole. In most cases it's "truth hurts", sometimes I'm just being an asshole and replying to other assholes in kind. I'm not denying that.
But how about your hostility, what's your excuse? What's your qualification for calling who are bad for the community when your posts are somewhere between personal insults and blackmail?
Nope. Opinions aren't good or bad. Idiots are the people doing wild exaggerations and refusing to accept they're looking at things with thick nostalgia goggles. It's the emotional responses presented as absolute truths that I'm attacking, not anybody's right to have informed and well-rounded opinion.
Like for example most of the goodwill towards old content of WoW is based on emotions you felt first time around. The joy and excitement of discovery, not the objective analysis of how the game mechanically worked or didn't work. If you can't separate your feelings from the objective analysis at all it's just nostalgia.

Never going to log into this garbage forum again as long as calling obvious troll obvious troll is the easiest way to get banned.
Trolling should be.
I've already found your problem OP and I stopped reading there;
You're running LFR and not actually doing anything on your end to make the game exciting.
How about you actually do something more than super easy mode that actually challenges you if you're so "bored".
So basically (adding in your "People still play WoW?" signature) you're here to convince us all what a good idea is was for you to quit?
Bravo, you quit because it didn't excite you. Now it's time to move on dear. You don't need to convince everyone of what a great decision you made. You don't need to pass your opinion along as fact, and try and convince us that there is something wrong with us because we're running counter to those "facts".
I like playing the game. I have fun playing it. I have 4 90s, of which I actively raid on 1 of them (healer), keep 1 other up on valor (I rarely cap on any toon in the last month or so) (pure DPS), and pull in the other two when alts are needed (tank and a second healer when the first is saved to an instance and our other raid group needs help).
My wife has 1 main (and has always only had 1 main) at 90. We're leveling a couple of pandaren alts. We're having a blast doing it.
I find it exciting. I find it fun.
Now time to move on deary. No reason to keep dragging us through your WoW withdrawal.
So your bucket list is two things... and killing the same bosses with more health and ability bloat...
Thats what im talking about how it lacks excitement. You do the same two things over and over, the game no longer has interesting quest lines, story development, or any interesting characters anymore. The depth of the main baddie Garrosh is just plain pathetic. Compare him to the intrigue and quest line leading up to Lady Prestor who turned out to be Onyxia.
That has always been what WoW has been about though. Vanilla was all about doing the same stuff over and over. Nothing has changed because raiding the same thing until the new thing comes out has existed for the entirety of the existence of WoW. I also fail to see how one quest line that has you doing random things is more intriguing and deep then an entire expansions worth of story, lore, scenarios and quests showing how and why Garrosh has become the bad guy.
The game has more interesting quest lines then Vanilla ever had. It has more story development, and it certainly has interesting characters. The problem is you don't seem to find any of those to be true but they certainly do exist as truths of the current game. Perception is a wonderful thing and it seems to be coloring you into the position that Vanilla is greater then everything when in reality Vanilla wasn't all that great.
And if Vanilla WoW existed in the market of today it would be a failure and have even more criticism then the current content.

You know a community is bad when moderators lock a thread because "...this isnt the place to talk about it either seeing as it will get trolled..."
...and I can't get a hard on anymore when I am playing WoW. What is up with that?
It used to just spring up like a startled weasel, but now it just dangles like a wet spider web on a frosty morning.
It is all the Devs fault. I used to find new things exciting, but now after repeating the same motions for millions of times, I find I dont have the same enthusiasm as a did before.
I WANT MY CONSTANT PRIAPISM BACK!
As the baby with the Minigun already pointed out: WoW was always about "do the same every week, until a new patch hits then do the same with a different skin attached".So your bucket list is two things... and killing the same bosses with more health and ability bloat...

It's the raiding gameplay I like and Blizzard always improved upon a formula that worked well so far.
As far as storyline goes:
- All TBC bosses except Kil Jaeden had pitiful reasons to even BE a raidboss. Vasjh was mean, Illidan and Kael'thas went "wonko" due to fel energy exposure, Gruul was .. um Gruul and Maggi was just there.
- Arthas had the advantage of a massive lead in with Warcraft III, but Blizzard didn't develop him much in WoW.
- Deaf-wing was .. um... absent till El-Thrallo wanted to laser him with the "gold-saucer of awesome"™.
I really don't think that MoP or Garrosh stand out in any was as being "more bland/less developed" that the lions share of all past raid bosses. If anything, Garrosh is the one character that has gotten the most development within the game, albeit sadly to say, 90% of that are horde only quests and alliance can just guess about why he is so grumpy.
Dear Lord, get that image out of my head... NOW!It used to just spring up like a startled weasel, but now it just dangles like a wet spider web on a frosty morning.
You are obviously not in a guild then.
And I questioned your comprehension of the word arcade. I read what you posted just fine thank you very much.

That has what to do with anything? Preferred play style has zero bearing on the content available in game. The simple fact of the matter is, love it or hate, Mop has more to do than any previous expansion and yes that is a fact and isn't something up for debate.
- - - Updated - - -
I hear different people like different things. Still has no bearing on the amount of things to do in game now compared to previous expansions.
- - - Updated - - -
Wow has always been like this for anyone doing any sort of progression content whether it is pve or pvp. What's your point? This has nothing to do with the amount of things to do in game. Do you people even bother reading the threads you whine in or do you just copy paste the same nonsense over and over and hope it applies?
- - - Updated - - -
And yet doesn't take away from the fact there is more to do now than any previous expansion. I'm sorry but you can't just pretend ths content doesn't exist when bitching there isn't anything to do. Also I highly highly doubt many people have done EVERYTHING available in Mop.
- - - Updated - - -
That is because the Wow community expects Blizzard to build and maintain their communities for them. It isn't a game design flaw. It is laziness pure and simple.
- - - Updated - - -
Except the complaint was that there was too much to do in addition to the dailies not that the dailies were supposedly hiding a lack of content. There was no lack of content in Mop, not even close.
- - - Updated - - -
And thankfully it seems as though it is mostly arrogant condescending elitist jackasses that are the ones leaving the game. Good for Blizzard.
- - - Updated - - -
Thin air? It is documented FACT that the game has 7 million players. I know people like to believe otherwise but it would be a felony for Blizzard to lie to shareholders. If they wanted to hide subscription numbers from their investors they would simply not mention them at all. Just because you aren't happy with the game doesn't make your issues with the game objective fact nor does it mean they are everyone else's issues. People don't pay for products they hate (in the real world I mean). For some reason on these forums people willingly hand over money to companies they hate just so they can bitch about it endlessly.
- - - Updated - - -
Implying people weren't grinding badges in TBC which is the expansion they were first implemented in. Are you fucking kidding me?
- - - Updated - - -
Who are you to speak for others? How do you know people aren't forming opinions of the game? Are you saying they are all a bunch of emotionless automatons who play out of habit? These threads just get more and more insulting and stupid by the day.
- - - Updated - - -
Sorry but it is irrelevant where subscribers live, why they pay, why they play, if they play, how they pay, how much theypay, how many accounts they own, or any other such nonsense used in an attempt to trivialize Wow's subscription numbers. Paying subscriptions are paying subscriptions and that is all that matters to the shareholders and that is who the intended audience of those numbers are not armchair developers or armchair investors. I find it absolutely hilarious that you people keep saying amount of subscriptions doesn't make a game good but seem to have no problem using those same numbers to slam Wow and Blizzard. Absolutely pathetic and ignorant.

So now you resort to bashing other countries when faced with logic you can't bullshit your way out of?

People act like jerks offline as well. I think society as a whole has degraded to a point where many don't fear consequences even in real life situations. Anyone who works customer service can tell you that many don't have a problem being an asshole right to your face.

And not surprisingly the mods are letting him get away with it yet again just as I predicted. It is rather shameful really. Rules on this site only seem to be enforced if someone says something contrary to whatever agenda the mods are currently pushing.
- - - Updated - - -
No the problem is the worst of the worst of this community who do nothing but bitch about the community don't seem to realize THEY are the problem and scapegoating a few lines of code only perpetuates that behavior.

You are aware you have been flat out harassing him this entire thread right? Get off your high horse.
- - - Updated - - -
I know this is difficult to comprehend but different people like different things. Even more shocking is the fact most normal sane people don't sit around playing a game they hate.
- - - Updated - - -
Are you claiming people weren't killing the same raid bosses in Vanilla over and over for months on end? Really?
Yes WoW lacks excitement, and that's not going to change. Its never going back to the "olden days", this is a dead horse. Its done, over, is what it is, what you see is what you get. Sorry but after years of development lethargy, do you really think anything will ever go back to early WoW status? You'll have to move on.
