World of Warcraft sucks

--- Quote from: Visage on January 06, 2011, 02:42:38 AM ---I like MMORPGs and am in an MMORPG topic. You are in an MMORPG topic saying how you hate MMORPGs and are expecting me to persuade you to like them or what? And now you ask what I am trying to prove? The question is what are you trying to prove? You don't realize the problem here is you are whining about MMORPGs in a topic about an MMORPG. You could make a topic about how much you hate MMORPGs if you'd like.

i will be the first troll in this topic to say i am addicted to playing mmos. i try out every mainstream one there is. and try craploads of the other ones.
currently, i am actively subscribed to 4 of them.
however i do NOT play world of warcraft. i define this game as the "mmorpg for dummies"
By some irony, all WOW players love to defend their game by reminding you of how popular it is lol, like that is any show of quality and uniqueness. i haven't been able to trust the majority in anything else in history, why would it suddenly apply to a game lol.

I also like mmo's but i will state some things i hate about some of them
1. Static worlds
Having npcs doing jobs and running around other then just standing there adds alot to the world, As does:
2. Story through actions
A mmo is not a book, although most of them pretend to be, Why do you have to tell us the whole backstory of what this guy has been doing? Why can't you put clues to what he's been doing in his area?
Granded you're going to tell us "he's been naughty and he stabbed a few thousand people, Please kill him" But you don't need to tell us his life story.
3. Lack of customisation
Mmo's should always be about being unique, you are not a single player go here, do this character, Certain mmo's have locked looks, Which is indescribably stupid and lazy, and others have thousands of sets of clothes that look the same (wow you disappoint me.)
4. Lack of customisation in skills
Talent trees are my favourite part of mmo's, You get so many options and can play around and develop your character as you wish, Which is why i was so disappointed again when wow made their talent tree tiny and rather boring.
5. Too much grind
I'm actually fine with most grind, But at certain parts it is just extended to slow down your performance.
6. Quests
MMO's will always have kill X and return to Y, It's not possible to make fantastic unique quests tens of thousands of times, But alot of mmo's rely on this completely.
7. Other things that annoy me
I got bored of this so i'll just list them.;
Lack of updates
Bad Community
Bad community response
Bad translations
Bad gui
Broken features
Lack of Unique areas
Lack of originality
Dirty tactics to make you use cash shop
Lack of risk
