When was the last time you played?


The last time I played was the start of season 6, I can't remember when that was exactly, sometime last winter/spring?

About the girlfriend thing hahaha:

When I quit, I really didn't see much of a difference in my social life. I'm definitely not retarded with girls, In fact I can get dates fairly easily, my problem is that I don't meet enough people that I actually find interesting. The large majority of my friends think that a fun night out is going to a bar or club, getting drunk, and picking up girls. Personally I have never met a girl in a bar who I actually found interesting beyond the prospect of getting my dick wet. The more time I spend in bars the more I become a jaded misogynist. I don't enjoy bars or clubs, and it seems like the 18-24 crowd is only interested in getting sloshed. It seems like I spend a lot of time staying in just because I don't find what I usually do when I go out overly fun. I know I should look for girls in places other than the bars, such as the gym, or university clubs etc., but damn, it seems like all of the single girls are drunk and in the bars.


You're just hanging with the wrong age group/social class. There's plenty of 18-24 year olds who are intelligent, dedicated, and driven to succeed in life, you just won't ever find them in bars or playing wow. Try some hobbies like volunteering at hospitals, or coaching a kids sports team, or mentoring troubled youth (if you live near a city I'm sure there are big brother type programs) or something.


hey generalizations are fun
i enjoying clubbing/barhopping etc on my free nights
before that, i had hobbies similar to the ones you listed
and before that i used to play starcraft/wow/lineage2/a billion other games

people's interests change.. do whatever is fun, that should be pretty much the only criteria for spending your time


Of course there are always exceptions, so I misspoke when I said "won't ever find them in bars or playing wow." What I was getting at is that the large majority of people in those environments aren't exactly go-getters with the rest of their life. Even those WoW raiders who are successful businessmen or doctors or whatever, wow is usually their only hobby.

if you're going to play WoW at least wait until a bit after Cataclysm comes out, really.

At this point anything you accomplish will be somewhat useless (even moreso since you'll have left the game to come back and do barely anything constructive)

like others said, WoW is only good if you really have too much time on your hands t_t 1 year+ clean and sometimes I think about it, but after I do I'm really glad I quit and never reactivated

Do we really have to tell you to not play a game... Do it or dont do what makes you happy.
Why would you ever choose failure, when success is an option.

SK top 100 says otherwise. MP rapes 2's bracket, RMP is still destroying in 3's, as well as WMS burst comps. If you don't think mages are OP now with 20% ms and damage buffs then something is wrong with you. Not to mention mage gear spellpower has gone up nearly 30% in season 6.

Some people like to discuss things with others. Obviously I'm not just going to listen to whatever people say, but they contribute points to the topic that I don't necessarily see right away on my own.

20% ms is so important rmp when rogues are giving it for you already and it doesn't stack right?

Mage gear spellpower has gone up and so has every other stat for every other class....

There were no buffs to mages, RMP has always been a powerful comp.

As for 2s, there's 15 mage teams in the top 100. There are 29 paladin teams in the top 100.

Mages are not overpowered right now, you heard wrong.

Ok fine they aren't OP. They are about where they should be (just under 10% representation in all arena brackets). It's just so different than season 5 where there were 3 mage teams in the top 100 in 2's. The MS still is amazing, yeah its redundant with wound poison, but before I quit I played MWS, and 20% ms in that comp is just plain amazing. The increase in spell power for caster classes is significantly larger proportionally when compared with melee classes. They are getting more armor pen, but hey my toon is a mage, I have shit for armor anyways.

They seem amazing now, but I guess you are right, paladins are still broken. What else is new.

The other day I found out that mages got massive buffs last patch and are overpowered and amazing (I used to play a mage).


So basically when a game has shitty balance it makes you not want to play it, unless it's in favour of the class you are using, then it's great.

I would rather everything was balanced, thats one thing that makes SC better than wow. If one SC race was terrible noone would play it.

You say no one would play sc if it wasn't balanced, and you want a balanced game. WoW is not balanced, therefore you should not play it.

I have no clue why you need other people to give you reasons why you shouldn't do something when clearly you know that your life will be better without it. Either you like it so much that you are willing to give up things like your social life as you said, or you decide that you want to live a better life without it. You said yourself that you have an addiction to it, this is like a former alcoholic asking for reasons why he shouldn't go back to drinking.

While I enjoy playing wow, I can't believe that you honestly think balance is the one thing starcraft has over wow.
