Don't understand how you can WoW is still a grindfest etcetc. It's always been a grindfest, every (decent) MMORPG is a grindfest...Why would you play an MMORPG which isn't a grindfest :S Obviously you dont want it a huge grindfest as i'm well aware it used to be. I remember 40-60 used to be so bad in Vanilla WoW as most of the quest chains where horrible and the zones you did to get up to 60 where just plain awful! But soon as TBC hit it was so easy. I mean looking back on how easy 0-70 was i can't beleive i did not have 5-6 level 70s by the end of it. I just had the 3 in the end. LK 70-80 was great big open zones and lots of quests made 70-80 easily achieveable in a week or two of casual play (i found) and then Cata 80-85 found that bit tedius as not as many zones which is understandable as only 5 levels worth of quests needed, but again it was pretty easy to achieve the 5 levels in under 2 weeks for sure casually playing. I remember the first day of Cata i spent it mining, and i dinged 80-81 (and half) by just mining alone, very simple and straight forward

Hey guys, I played WoW beta and WoW again for a few months, hit level 40 as a warlock but just got tired of the endless hours of grinding. Has WoW changed this aspect of the game or is it still basically a grind fest throughout?


Yes. Still a grindfest.



No, it's not a grindfest anymore- compared to the wow beta and early vanilla, this game is SO far from a grindfest


Maybe comparatively it's less of a grindfest. But yes, it definitely is a big grindfest. You grind heroic dungeons for gear so you can raid, and you raid over and over again to get better gear so you can do more raids.

Well he was probably talking about the levelling aspect of the game, which is not tbh.

I haven't played in about 4 months but I'm really getting the urge to try again soon. But I'll have no one to play with, can anyone help/convince me to play/not to play? >.<

I just miss the really busy feel this game has when you're in a city and there's lots of people, makes me feel like I'm not sitting alone =/

There is absolutely no reason at all to play WoW right now. Right now the content is completely trivial (even if you were a fresh 85 you would be done with all Cata content within a week), the economy is screwed up due to lots and lots of duped items, and there's really no chance for you to PvP because you're too far behind gear-wise.

If you feel like you might want to play you should wait until the expansion. Especially because of your last line... I'm not sure if you're aware but the game is bleeding subs at the moment and most low or medium pop servers feel like ghost towns (even more so since D3 came out). That busy feel isn't really present these days but should pick up when the expansion launches.

Hey, I haven't played this year yet, and I'm curious to know how much new content there has been released in the last six / seven months.

The last thing I did was taking down Death Wing once, then I quit the game.

Not much has happened because everyone is waiting for the expansion. Beta for MoP started, and I think that most people have relaxed their play because of the expansion. Same thing happened at the end of WotLK.

Anybody with an active account feel like sending me a scroll of resurrection? There's a mount you get for it. If so, please PM me and I'll respond with my email address.

Edit:

Got one already. =)

there is no reason to play WoW in PvE right now unless you go for an 8/8 heroic dragon soul clear, which is basically just a prerequisite for joining a good raiding guild right now. If you want to be competitive in MoP you still have time build your credentials and try out for a decent guild

PvP will always have the same fundamentals in terms of positioning and teamwork, even with totally new skills it's likely that things you learn now will still benefit you in MoP. Also, despite what people say, you can do fine with honor gear in PvP (fine as in 2500+ rating) as your skill and experience are still more important, it'll just be a little harder

This is a lot worse than WotlK wait I believe, but hopefully it pays off with MoP being a much better expansion than Cata.

Anyone hook me up with a resurrection scroll? I'm trying to come back!

Ok so now my one free week is over...

Someone convince me to pay $15 a month to keep playing this game. >,< Torenhire will get a free mount if I give Blizzard $15 more dollars.

My wife hates when I play this game. Exact quote: "You play on the computer for 15 hours a day." YES, she's exaggerating, but I get her point. All she ever sees is the back of my head, but can you blame me. If you want to get good at WoW you have to spend hours, and more hours, and even days just to get get the best gear.

If I was single and lived alone, I wouldn't have a problem, but being married is a whole different beast... least for me. No we can't play together, because she hates computer games. Main thing I like about SC2 is that there is no grinding for gear, everyone has the same stats, it's based off skill alone. Also the 1v1 matches are literally quick (quick match) instead of lasting hours (raiding).

Cliff Notes version: I really want to pay $15 for another month, but I need a good reason to continue. If I play I know I will be ridiculed by my significant other every time I spend hours grinding levels or gear for my WoW characters.

I wouldn't Mists of Pandaria is set to be released September 25th, so everything you do from now and then, will not matter that much, unless it's actually leveling. If you and doing end game content I would just wait a month to play then.
