Oh, don't get me wrong, I had fun for a while, but without the draw of competition for boss spawns, it just got....routine and boring.
The moments of excitement (learning a new raid encounter) were just too few and far between the drudgery of grinding to be fun. PvP was fun for a while, but even that eventually got boring due to a lack of new battlegrounds.
I quit for the second time a few weeks after I got an Arena team together, and that had potential, but it really felt like you could get marginalized easily just based on gear.
Oh well, that's my disappointment...for all the extreme fanboyism and hype that surrounds WoW, it just doesn't have the draw for me that I hoped it would. |
I think the hype can sometime ruin a great game. Just using some VERY basic numbers let's say you have a game that's getting 8/10 80% postive reviews from all the critics but the game has been hyped as some 10/10 be all end all game of the millennium. You've still got a GREAT game it can't live up to they hype.
I have a buddy that I think does it the right way. He doesn't let himself watch movie or game trailers, read reviews, etc. That way when something comes out he's judging it based on its merit, not on how it lived up to they hype.
