its true TBC heroics were bloody hard and needed a group of really good players and a lot of focus, crowd control was a must.

WOTLK heroics require no CC what so ever , even the worst dps is enough for 95% of encounters and overall its barely any different than normal mode apart from the loot is better.

seriously i did OK in a pug yesterday i had 3k dps overall and this mage and hunter barely out dpsed the tank with 1100 dps yet we still cleared the instance apart from the boss that sacrafices for a massive dmg boost. :rolleyes:

i remember in classic how hard stratholme was it was so hard barely anyone got to do the quests because it was pretty much always done in a 10man raid.

now soon the new blizard cash cow is coming which lets you transfer your horde character to alliance :rolleyes:

theres a game called AION coming out soon thats suposed to be good you would be better off pre ordering it so you can join the beta than getting back into wow.

blizard just want to make what at one point was a semi serious mmo into the easiest pile of crap any idiot can play in an attempt to get more subscribers

Nah not really, unless you consider great geared just some noobs who got to do Naxx 10 and a few 25 man pugs!

What? They nerfed TBC heroics into the ground, you didn't need CC in any except maybe Mgt. (which was still easily doable without)
 
They really have dumbed it down for the little kids. From L1-60 there are no challenges what so ever.

I have even completed instances with just three people all on the correct level for that instance with no boost. Paladin and two druids and you are set.

1-60 isn't end game anymore though, of course it won't be challenging!
 
Whats CC??

I think thats the status of wow tbh.

You need the odd sheep in ulduar, i think 2/3 trash mobs need it thats all!

I enjoy the state of the game atm,

Hardmodes are there for hte elite/hardcore, but normal modes allow everyone to see the content.

Last reset i pugged 8/14 in ulduar 25man. Yes we were a good and skilled pug, but thats no vent ect.

Patches are comming quick and fast currently and at the right time just when content is getting boring tbh. Not like TBC where BT was out for month, everything had everything for main and offspec, all you were really just grinding it for Glaives. The game has came a long way from that.

I think yes its easy, but tbh the amount of content they are pushing is easy.

i must have quit before then then i subscribed again around a month ago.

when i played tbc all the heroics were incredibly hard which was good imo and how i remember the old mmos , you were either a good player and knew your class or didnt get groups.

these days any 1kdps pathetic people can happily be carried in wotlk heroics.

atleast the guild leader has better ideas lowest dps always gets kicked in our raids for someone else unless they arent to far behind the rest :p
 
I enjoy the game at the moment, progressing through hard modes is fun. We got Heroic: Firefighter done last night.

Hopefully have the 25 man Glory of the Ulduar Raider achievement, got the 10 man server first, it was fun but now other guilds have the achievement mount reward so it's not as cool. :(

In my opinion it is a joke now. Pre-TBC it was my favorite game, now i hate it.

+1

A brilliant game ruined by cross server transfers, extra talents and an increased level cap. Nothing will ever come close to the original BWL/NAXX 40 man raids

The main reason I quit WoW was these hard modes. I was always slightly behind the bleeding edge of raiding but way above the average raiding population, but come WotLK, in my opinion, they completely ruined raiding. Once you have killed a boss (which they made a joke in WotLK), I see no reason whatsoever to artificially make the fight harder without any meaningiful rewards (titles, epics, mounts? These are not rewards..). I have already seen the boss, move on. Obviously some of my guildies always wanted to do hard modes so that pretty much drove me away from WoW.

Don't get me wrong, I love a challenge in WoW, but as I said, I don't see any reason to go back to a boss you have killed a dozen times and this time instead of poking his eyes, you poke his stomach making the fight last twice as long while he vomits on you. The fight should have been poking on stomach + vomit in the first place.

But I know I'm pretty much alone with my opinion :)
 
I have played since Beta and have stopped a few times in the past. Im at the stage now where I have cancelled my sub and am very very very unlikely to resub.

The whole game is far too simple now. I have comleted a lot on 'hard' mode and I can play other games on the laptop at the same time or watch TV etc, just plain boring now.

My opinion stay away wait for another game.

I agree with you as it happens - I'm one of those people who'll play through a first person shooter once on normal or hard, but find it pointless to go back and then play it on 'ultra hard'. I've already seen what I want to see, now I want something new.

Anyway, WoW is still worth picking up - the streamlined levelling process means you can hit 80 fairly easily and get into the end game stuff. The WoTLK questing is pretty good. At least you'll get a chance to see the new stuff if you decide to quit again.
 
As with any MMO the game is what you make of it and more down to the folks still playing than your memories of it. Don't return if you're wanting to relive rose tinted memories, return if you want to make more.

I don't play any MMO as none of them are as good as they were and I'm too busy to try a new one (like Mortal Online). No matter how much I'd like to! :)
 
im just starting up again from level 1, maybe a bunch of us should all agree on a server and play together.....tis a bit boring on ones own now my friends have all quit.

ill only ever play casual though, have too much going on in my rl to get hardcore again
 
Everything is handed to you on a plate now, don't really have to 'earn' anything.
I recently quit and have been playing since the last couple of weeks of beta, I definitely won't be going back.
