Its only when you learn the game and realise the gear grinding, right spec, having the right pet in pvp as in the hunters class, gemming your gear correctly etc, then the game becomes a CHORE. You start taking the game to serious. The fun is still there but it ends up like a job kinda way.

Aye, that' pretty much what I think is wrong with the game. Dont take that personally or something; if you have fun playing, then by all means, it's just not a game for me.

I play RPGs for the exploring, it's why I like Bethesda's RPGs so much. In WoW, even in the 2 weeks I played it, it became a chore. Not to mention that when a good item finally drops, it's more than likely some tit in your party, who has absolutely no use for it, makes off with it to sell it somewhere. That really sealed the deal for me; not the grinding, that I could kinda deal with, but the poeple behaving like jackasses everywhere you go.

That's why real men play Warhammer Online.

WH is a good game but i thought the pvp side of it was shockingly bad.

Never been into PvP that much, but the later tier massive keep sieges and stuff are pretty nice. And of course, beating the hell out of the Order scum and then chasing them all around the realms not allowing them to recapture anything. Was fun.

Ja, don't have that PvP drive either, not very competitive. Aparently that makes you "special".

If I played WoW, it would probably be PvE, and then the grinding doesn't attract me at all. Neither does dealing with nutcases btw, but I'd prefer that over the jackasses any day.

Seriously though, I get that poeple want to roleplay a roleplaying-game, but sometimes they take it a little too serious, not for me.

One of the things I liked to do is grind grind grind and once I found something extremely valuable, auction it for 100gold or so, then head back to the tier 1 where all the new players are and hold hide & seek competitions, the first one who found me got something like 20gold or so. Damn.. what a disgrace I am to the bad bad Chaos side...

Well,after 6 months I decided to mess with WoW again. Figure I'll try a Night Elf Druid this time. Just to kill time till Cataclysm comes out. Then I might run a Worgen Warrior.

lol at least your honest, but where did you get that notive that pvp makes you special in wow? Completly the opposite. Pvpers are mostly loathe at cause we dont pve we did rather kill players than kill npcs. Us pvpers like to think that it takes more skill to go up against a player than up against a npc but in wow thats not so apparently . Honestly if i wanted to pve i would go play a single player RPG.

If you ever go back to wow roll on a RPPVE realm and you'll know what i mean. They dont run around they walk, some talk in their own made up language and all have names that connect with roleplaying, its crazy

Not specificly in WoW, but it is general consensus that being competitive is human nature. Don't have that at all, aparently that's something special/unnatural. Kinda depends on who you ask of course.

Ah, I walk as well, running around everywhere makes me feel like a retard to be honest. And a "normal" name, not "SirFapsAlot" or something. But nothing much beyond that.

If ya want to rpg go on a RPPVE realm, your find it more friendlier although its full of nutcases who think they live in that world.

This is why i pvp, I dont even bother with questing just play pvp in battlegrounds and level up that way plus its alotta fun. When Blizzard made lvling up in BG's available it started a whole new game for me.
