I started WoW during it's beta and since then i wasted a lot of time with it, i mean it was fun and all, but besides that i most often felt obliged to the people i raided with because i didn't want to let them down in doing new bosses and such. With sc2 i can decide when and how long i want to play and it doesn't get as repetetive, i mean sure in each match there are things to be done, but during most parts of it you can try new stuff and be creative instead of following boss tactics strictly. And most importantly if you lose in a sc2 match it really is because you have done something wrong, and not because there is some douche in your group that didn't prepare adequatly for the raid. By that logic you yourself are the only one responsible for winning and for me that's much more rewarding then wow could ever be. | ||

Long story short, I think SC2's ladder is dangerous to my mental and physiological health. | ||

Since then I waited for SC2 to be released and my soul was crushed everytime I checked my email to see if I had gotten a Beta invite just to find an empty inbox. =/ Thank god for the preorder beta codes :D I'm sure many of us are in the same boat, WoW is really nearing the end IMO with how much stuff they are changing to keep the game relevent and intriguing. Oh well, we are all here now which is all that matters right? | ||

Or respect it for that. Hours on end of entertainment and then they basically spit on it when they finally, inevitably, burn out. | ||

It's so easy to get to 80 that anyone to do it, and you'll have to play with them. WoW is such an easy game, the only reason it's actually hard is because you have to deal with under qualified and under motivated, and somehow get them to perform decently. They should make you be a guild leader for management school, it's a lesson in dealing with incompetence. | ||

Quitting WoW feels so good =] Good luck to those who also quit WoW for the amazing game Starcraft2 Lol its really funny your histroy seems to be a copy of mine, like the order of gfames and the time invested in Wow and quitting it for sc2, with the only twist that I was rather in to PVE (top 5 german guild) nothing to be too proud of, since wow Pve demands so few skill and so much time investment I'm so happy that I quit raiding and only log in every now and then for seeing some people.. The GREATEST thing is that I could get rid of raiding scedules which frees so much time )Props to all other people who did the same | ||

Poppin cooldowns, mash mash mash, he's ded lol Lol. Maybe at 1900. Link your 3k rated team please? There's tons of teams of the same comp spread over the entire spectrum of ratings, obviously some are much better than others, like in anything else. Also, if you can't see the incredibly high skill cap in these matches then you just don't get it: | ||
