Most of us wow players hate each other more than you hate us so really this topic means nothing.

Time for a little confession.

I used to be a wow player myself.  Yes, I used to be the very same thing I'm whining about now so I understand what you mean.
However, you've got to realize when enough is enough.
For me, the moment came when my guild leader was talking about killing himself because his girlfriend broke up with him.  I could understand why he was upset but I thought he was being overly dramatic.  Nevertheless, I tried to console him by telling him it happens to almost everybody.  I asked him why they broke up and he said it's because he couldn't fullfill a promise.
I told him if he's really serious about getting back together with her he should go over to her place and offer to make amends.

Then he told me that he's never actually met her in person and that he's only met her in game.

That was when I realized I needed to stop playing.  I played WoW for 5 months regularly, quit and have never looked back since.
I feel sorry for all the sad losers who think anything in that game actually matters.  As much as I love gaming, I never would see it as anything more than a leisure activity.

Exactly.

I said I haven't attacked anyone, as in any individual personally.  Inductive generalizations are fair game though.  It's not as if this was some scientific study I based this on.

Ive seen those type of people ..infact I see them everytime I log in the game. The guild im in or any guild that I join I always make sure theyre "normal" if you know what I mean before I stick around. Some people do take the game way too serious, but there are more 'casual' types now than that now.

Damn straight I'm whining, and ****ing.  I have never denied it.  This is the off topic forum so this subject is fair game.

Yeah it seems to be a favorite passtime on the off topic forum to **** and moan, however since the Bazzar ended we havent had much to **** and moan about, might as well start ****ing and moaning about outside sources and what better to **** and moan about than WoW.

Did you know that they are bringing out another expansion and this time they are making goblins a playable race? I mean Eww goblins?

Aha... I had that same opinion about people in FFXI Online. They would say how their best friend is someone in game and how they share so much together. Same thing with girlfriends or by FFXI mechanics, wives. Yes, you can have a marriage in that game. Way more often than not, I found out these people have never met in real life after years of communication.

It's actually kind of disturbing.

Hmm this is supposed to be a whinging thread and while you did imply that the alliance getting worgen does suck I do find your "worgen ftw" a bit too positive for this thread.

I suggest you change it to

"What alliance ****s get worgen omg that totally sucks balls" or something similar.

I have to say I never played WOW, I'm an old DAOC player so after WOW's release I learned to dislike the game real quick. I have had friends play the game though and the impression they gave me of the game is cartoon like graphics, Timed PVP, and a lot of kiddies camping peoples dead bodies just to kill them when you run all the way back to re-enter your body. Which from my experience in PVP is cheap and retarded, thus I've never played the game.

I think the idea of marriage in a game if it was just a novelty for two people who are really married and just done it online for some message to show "This person is married" and not actually seriously marrying online. Maybe even if your just doing it as a laugh with a friend itd be ok but itd just be strange to have never met your wife.

I'm not saying this wasn't the case most of the time, but i know for sure that sometimes people took their relationship seriously yet never met.

[Busomjack]

A in-game marriage? Holy...I've never seen anything that bad.

I did see a male Dwarf and female Night elf cyber-scrogging in the underground tram of Ironforge once when I snuck in with my old Troll warrior. I couldn't understand what they were saying but I was pretty sure it was a scrog since they were both naked next to each other in a discreet area.

OP... you started out bad... the truth is truth. but no one wants to talk to a yelling screaming idiot who tells anyone who tries to discuss it with him to **** off or stop crying.

Or  you can keep posting and bump
the thread up if you'd like.  Give more people a chance to read
my rant, that would be fine with me.

dick move... either cope with the fact that they disagree or get out. stop trolling.

if you want to post it here, that's probrably fine (unless it's against rules) but if you don't want to discuss it and are going to troll anyone who replies... then please **** off, you don't understand the point of a discussion board.

i agree somewhat. i think the consequences for Dragon Age specifically has been that casual gamers have a hard time on easy and more accustomed gamers have it too easy on nightmare. there are a thousand topics on this, i'm sorry i brought it up again but it's somewhat related since it's the consequence of the beyond kindergarden casual gameplay of WoW.

i think it's a problem for people not to be able to socialize beyond what's in front of them. but i can't whack them for it since i can barely socialise outside gaming, movies, books and soccor these days. i see your point and i agree, but just less offensive and profane.

holy ****balls. that marriage thing was creepy. good job getting out while you could.
i, myself got out... many times, but this time for good. it's a game meant to be played over WEEKS and MONTHS... what the hell... progress is impossible in a tempo that leaves you no time in real life... i left with many regrets and grieves about the 2 1/2 months of in game played time i lost. i could have cured cancer with that... or just got a job, rented a flat, got a drivers licence, played other games or just have good times with the friends.

i regret wow, and if i were more pationate, i'd probrably be some mad idiot campaigning against it... but i'm not, to each their own. i just hope more people get out alive.

Guess I'm one of those people that make you sick. Fortunatly for me I am still enjoying my online time with World Of Warcraft. Casually leveling characters and professions.



People like you, I laugh at. You probably lacked the willpower to play the game moderatly.

I don't think it's weird at all. I view eating insects as "weird", but I don't judge anyone who does.

[Loerwyn]

No, I don't. If they're happy then that's all that matters. Their being together, whether it's digital or analogue or physical, is (in my eyes) no different to "actually" dating someone. In some ways they're easier to handle, but in others they're much harder.
