the new instances in cata were a lot of fun. especially the underwater instance, loved that place. the heroic version of that final boss was amazing. felt like doing a raid with 5 people. the questing wasnt bad either. pvp is....well...

id say worth the game + the month sub. wow isnt really a game you can play over and over again, but people try to make it that and get bored. more fun to dick around and finish shit at your own pace. when i got the game at release the world pvp was enjoyable, spent hours fighting random people all over the place. dunno how it is now.

only played some 2v2 arena and it was kind of a joke. when you get high enough every other game is dk/druid and it really wasnt much fun. battlegrounds were great except when you get like isle of boredom or something.

its a good game though definitely worth checking out

I've done it multiple times, you get the urge to play again remembering all the good memories then you go back and realize it's all the same and you end up in the same boredom.

That's the main thing that keeps me from resubbing; the game that I miss doesn't exist anymore.

Meh. I quit after hitting 85 and my guild couldn't raid in cata. Honestly haven't even thought of going back. I know it will just be my guild failing and me being bored cause that games ezpz. Starcraft 2 though.. that shit takes some skill son.

Just play MOAR SC2 WOOOHOOO or do whatever you want your choice brother.

My humble opinion is that the wow reward system is really really bad. This system is what makes wow so insanely "time-requiring" (does this word exists? sorry if it doesnt, im not native).

Farm XXX hours: reward = YYY nice-looking mount
Raid XXX hours: reward = YYY raid tier set
Wait XXX weeks: reward = YYY arena gear set

They are based upon time or farming, and that is what makes them stupid.

To do well you need time, to do better you need more time. If someone invest more time than you do, then they are better than you because they have access to that rewards and you dont. Yes, there is a limit, and it wasnt there in vanilla-age. That keeps them from farming insanely, but doesnt fix the reward system.

You trade time to gain game-changing rewards. Thats their poisoned mindset IMHO. For me, that keeps me from going back to wow. The community also keeps me from going back. But I didnt left wow for that reasons.

I cant find a real reason to keep playing when I invested 3 years of my life trusting the blizzard's know-how hoping for one day to get esports support into wow and it hasnt come yet.

Replay recording/playing, custom cross-server arena games, custom mapping maybe. This are the things that wow lacks of and this is why I left wow. My reason to play any game is to compete, and wow doesnt support competitiveness well enough.

Aside from this, there are still some reasons to play it.
Wow is fun.
Wow is time-killing.

Do you play to have fun? Wow is for you, because it is really fun and enjoyable.
Do you play to kill time? Wow is for you, because it requires an insane amount of time to get anything working well.

Whatever you do, dont do anything without a real decent reason that can support your decision. Never forget that we are on gaming because we like it. If you dont like something, just dont do it, period. Whoever tells you anything different is dumb.

This are my 2cents. Hope it helps.

Cheers
