Musings about WoW the wow player community

[Ducimus]

I've played alot of MMO's and have seen alot of online communties, but i think WoW's takes the cake.

These are my observations from the last few months, without exxaggeration.

- Everyone's an expert.
- Everyone has an opinion that is authoritve, It is the one one true light and the way.
- Everyone who doesn't share that opinion is a "Noob".
- WoW for the majority, isnt a diversion, it is a serious issue that must be discussed and expanded upon at length.


Realism arguments in SH3 or Sh4, can't hold a candle to this crowd of people.

Hah, wouldnt expect less from that bunch! :rotfl:

I gave up playing WOW for those very reasons , most of the people i met really needed to get out more

If you really want to see how bad most wow players are , just tell them how crap wow is and how "Insert game name of choice here" is better and watch them go up in flames

Actually , thats a pretty cool idea if they could do it for other games - Ive got a Hobbit Burglar and a Hobbit Guardian in Lord Of The Rings Online that I wouldn't mind having statues of

I play WoW im on Tichcondrius US server, an ORC Hunter lvl 61. Guild i use to belong to was 'Horde Elite' but i left cause they were to elite for my liking I play for fun not to see who has the best gear or most honor I found myself getting too serious when i was with them it was like i got to get this gear today cannot go to bed until i have enough gold or find it in a drop before i do. Became abit crazy at times so i left Horde Elite guild and now just play wow how i want to. No pressure.

But Why is WoW so successful (9 million players and counting) when it has average graphics and sometimes tedious quests - go get 50 sabertooth skins and bring back to the wiseone etc., Its because its blardy addictive! :rotfl:Seriously once you get past the noob low levels if you leave the game before say level 20 then your okay your still have a life otherwise past that and Wow has got you and wont let you go.

Just brought Burning Crusade expansion which is a huge improvement over WoW, Im making 100 to 150gold per day and thats just in drops and quests, if i do it right within 50 days or so i should beabe to buy the Flying Mount which costs 5000g. Then i'll be flying all over the outlands

Blizzard Entertainment beats all game developers out there! They know the human Psyche well

You are right on the money!:rotfl: The funniest thing, is listening to grown adults (>35 years old) talk about this game like it is real life! ...or boast of their accomplishments. "My gnome found a magic blah-blah-blah." The south park WoW is a riot.
