Poll: Why would you quit WoW?

[Lukirre]

Why would you play it willingly to begin with?

Because it's not actually a bad game, actually.

I quit because when WotLK came out, I took the grind to 80 nice and slow so that I wouldn't get there and be bored right away. Then I got there, and it was fun to get into the new raids and the new heroics and all...but after two weeks that's really all that there is to do. Once I was geared to heal 25 man Malygos, there really wasn't anything exciting for me to do, and I ended up running around Dalaran for a good portion of my time online. I just wasn't willing to pay every month for a game that didn't offer me anything exciting to do anymore, and the addition of Ulduar really didn't help, because that's...what, one more thing a week for me to do?

I wouldn't

Guys serious question here though, why is everone bitching about the price? $14x12= 168 at very most that's the price of what? three of four games? (excuse If I'm wrong, back in NZ the supciption would be $30 so 30x12=360 that's three new relesase games at $120 each)

Oh but it is. Ashamed as I am to admit it, I actually tried it once, made it to about lvl 30 as a warlock, then I realized how shitty the game really was and swore an oath never ever to play it again. Ever.

Got up to level 30 with my Kickass Dwarf. Then realized that I was on fire and had to stop.

I played WoW about a month last year, just because I don't like slating games until I've at least tried them, and I thought it might as well, must have some merit to it if so many people play. It was a decent enough game, but at least for me got very repetitive fast, and I couldn't justify spending money every month on something I wasn't enjoying that much.

 

[Nivag the Owl]

I'm actually totally impressed by the amount of people that said they quit willingly. I mean, I did too after I realised the first expansion was shite but wow, this totally contradicts the whole addiction thing. Unless of course, everybody is lying.

You really can't talk much about how good or bad an MMO is until you got to either top level or had any big expirience grouping with people... and as far as I know, that "part" of the game, grouping, in the "old world", was kind of dead for about 2 years.

Well I shouldn't have to play through the game to be able to judge whether it's a good game or not.
That's like saying you can't complain about your life sucking, until you're dead. I think a lot of people would beg to differ.

I quit a few weeks after the first expansion, playing the game without someone to talk to is horrible.
Almost 2 months ago, a friend got me back in to the game and I joined his guild, the game is a lot more fun when you're able to talk to people.

It's not.

It is, however, a terrible MMO. It's much like Halo. Halo isn't a bad game, but it's a terrible FPS.

....the main thing for me was the subscription fee...why the fuck should I pay nearly £90 a year on a single game, when there are plenty of other enjoyable and addictive games that I only have to pay £30 in my entire life.

Exactly why I've avoided the game all my life. I don't want to feel tied to a game, I just pick up and play a game when the mood suits.

 

[LewsTherin]

Once I hit 70 and the game said I had to grind for gear in order to grind for better gear to raid with, I said thanks, but no thanks.

 

[Ranooth]

Shhhh. Now everyone knows I used to play WoW. I'm ruined!

/plots evil plan.

I quit due to me falling out with my real life friends about problems in the guild we ran. I thought why on earth should i play something that actually affects me outside in my real life, games are meant to be fun.

Quit and i never regretted it.

 

[Rajin Cajun]

The Barrens that bullshit was insane. After listening to a bunch of 12 year olds who discuss having sex with a goat as an achievement I no longer was interested.

 

[The_Bat_Dan]

I had to quit the other day cos I bought a new car and it was either WoW or car

 

[Meta Like That]

My first playthrough was kinda ruined by my friend, who was helping me power-level, when my original intent for playing was getting back into the lore after finishing Frozen Throne. After topping off my first main, it just became about the grind and running instances. Two years of that kinda wears you down.

I don't regret playing it, though. More good times were had than bad. Just depends on who you shack up with.
