only if they drop this stupid notion that gathering is a profession, every other game i know of doesn’t do this and guess what, they still have a successful economy never mind the fact that WoW’s economy, to my knowledge, has never been in a great place anyway, and surely it would help kill the botsno?, it means for me personally that i can’t play my ‘mains’ fron the get-go as i would prefer to see the content from an rp perspective, rp…pfft don’t get me started on that, all my ‘mains’…bar 1 i think are double crafters so in order to level up professions as i go i need to send out my gatherer as there is NO WAY i am going to spend stupid money on overpriced AH mats, and since they lock professions behind rep, need to actively play the game with them ,i HATE this.
‘why not drop a crafting profession then?’
because i have 15 years worth of rare patterns that they won’t keep for me if i drop it and every expac i get more.
i’ll only resub if crafting professions become meaningful again, i have all my old weapons in the bank still to this day because of how long they were in use and because it feels so much better to kill things with something you’ve made, so yes, i agree with the players that say ‘stop showering players with loot’
i’ll only resub if they drop this ridiculous cc driven combat system, i want combat to flow, i want it to be fun, i want to feel like i’m in control of a fight if i encounter more than a single enemy, i don’t want to move in slow motion, if at all until my inevitable death, i know this is a thing with every MMO, but i’m pretty sure it doesn’t have to be. and then the duuuulll rotations hence why i much prefer PVP over PVE. pfft PVP…don’t get me started on that, and i know i’m generalising here but i find that fast paced PVP relies on counter and burst more than PVE’s rotational dirge fest.
i’m not going to resub until this self perpetuating nightmare of loot chasing stops and players start to have a little more respect for each other and the game, (HAVING A DIFFERENT OPINION TO YOU DOES NOT EQUAL ‘WHINING’)…are you really going to deny the game wasn’t better before ‘achievements’?, before curve mounts?, you are turning into soulless machines dammit again with the players, i’VE always doggedly defended the community but i do feel the change that this loot drive has created…but don’t get me started on that…
i’m not going to resub until they FINALLY fix the res bugs in bg’s, the graveyard reset, i don’t want to be out of the fight for a full minute, the dead respawn button, i don’t want to have to do a full reboot and filewipe,in fact all those bugs that should have been fixed ten years ago…’;.;’
look, i know these are deeply personal opinions, that is the reason i stopped playing, NOT because ‘the game is bad waahhh’, it isn’t, not because i’m ‘burnt out’, i’m not, but because the things that annoy me intensely are never going to change, i feel that WoW needs a complete overhaul, something new and fresh, that is why it became the king of MMO’s in the first place…
the long and the short of it is too much on mindnumbing PVE, waaay too little on PVP and rp, thay are ALL strong communities and all deserve better.
take care…happy holidays, make the best of what you have that is…
