Ok so it turns out that you can beat WoW! Let me tell you my story!... I was walking around on my lvl 80 shaman and I came across a warlock fighting a monster. My natural instinct wa to run at the sight of warlocks but my finger accidently slid and hit my spell macro, I caught him off guard and managed to kill him! I was in disbelief and then suddenly my screen dimmed and WoW music started playing then I realized THESE WERE THE CREDITS!!! I HAD BEAT WOW! (P.S I am also probably the first non warlock to kill a warlock)

Ummmmmmm srsly?

I think there are only two ways to "win" WoW - and I'm not sure about the second.

1) Get rid of your account and log off.

2) Hook up with a hot chick that you meet there. Of course, from what I've heard, all the hot chicks on WoW are actually guys in their mom's basements, so this may not be possible.

Only #1 will ever happen, and then only in that narrow window before brain liquefaction commences. Me, I didn't even get past the free trial period.

I used to play on a free server a couple years ago. It was an ok game. I dont see why people would spend the money every month for it. Ive played much cooler games alone lol.
Then again, Im an old school gamer, so playing on the internet with thousands of people waiting to kill steal from me, seems a bit weird

Congrats, now beat it in Nightmare mode

The stupidity of this thread made me double facepalm...

I just got my ass handed to me by a hot Night Elf Death Knight with this big ass orange sword, after taking me out in like two hits (me being a much scarier looking Orc Death Knight with these awesome much scarier looking axes) she apologized, hopped on her Griffon, cried on my shoulder and then flew away while I layed there spread-eagled with all these demon creatures standing around laughing. Oh, and I attacked her while she was in combat with two mobs.

Believe me, she was a chick. No dude could be that badass. Would that I had been recording it.

Why so much hate for wow on these forums?

Because WoW is a competition against Warhammer online ( though lol , the 2 cant even be compared )

Warhams hate Warkrafts.

They stole our orcs and made them into gakky Indian rip-offs.

Old School Warcraft was cool, now it's kid's whining about gear and their stupid classes.

QFT. Exactly why I quit in the first place, beside the game being an utter joke and getting gear seeming less and less worthwhile (seriously, when you raid Ulduar and get full 8.5 just to see T9 released and its EASIER? gimme a break)

Because WoW has became a joke after Wrath of the Lich King came out. I've lost all respect from the good ol' days when having Tier 2 actually meant something and it took players of caliber to accomplish things. Honestly, WoW is now catered to pre-teens who can level and gear quickly.

I find it disturbing when people refer to in-game avatars as "hot". It always reminds me of American Pie: "Dude, did you see the Little Mermaid last night? That Ariel is so hot!"

I miss original WoW.... I had a lvl 60 hunter named Fannawuck.... he was awesome!

then the burning crusade came out, and my equipment became worthless. sure, I wasn't full epic, but I worked hard for the gear I had, and now it was gak.

so rather than go through it all over again, I quit.

Because you spend money on it every month just to listen to little kids bitch and hit on your damn character.

WoW sucks because it doesn't have a point, other than running around and fighting random creatures. I loved Warcraft III, which WoW is supposed to take place shortly after. So, when I tried it, I started Horde. Now, tell me this. Why the hell did I have to run around to kill boars or whatever they sent me after?

OH BLOODY HELL! I couldnt agree more... I still play it... but me and my guildies dont raid, or pvp for that very reason... You spent every day from 6pm-2am raiding for gear? you passed up sex or painting models for those raids? you got teir8? OH MAN! next patch I can get your gear from dungeons... sweet

Yeah... that actually did happen in a patch rofl... But my guildies are always talking about how fething stupid the game has become... theres no challange anymore... challange = the fun part... Grrrrr it makes meh angry :O

T9 is released and easier to get, sure.

But T9 for most classes is utter and complete garbage.

Having Tier 2 didn't mean jack. It meant you could get through BWL and Onyxia. Both of which were a joke, provided you weren't functionally slowed and had hours to devote to learning the fights and the instance itself.
Having Naxx gear pre-BC however, that meant something. Heck, Naxx was still the raid of choice to do slow checks on applicants for the guild I ran with in BC.

But both of those have one thing in common:
They favored people who had tons of free time, no lives(and not in the normal LOLYOUHASNOLIFE! way that kiddies use when you beat 'em), and a well-coordinated batch of people.

And that, when you have a large number of players who when surveyed, have roughly 4-5 hours to play, at most, a week is poor design. That's why they changed dungeons and raids to have an extendable raid timer, etc.

Butttt... that was then... nao is nao... and WoW is a joke nao and I still play it... bloody hell...

I agree with your assessment of T9, but my point still stands. I quit right after that patch and haven't came back, and probably won't come back. By the time Cataclysm releases the new Star Wars: KOTOR should be coming out, which I believe will rock.

T2 DID mean something. Yes it took an assload of time to learn the fights, but once you finally cleared nef, the dungeon took maybe 3 hours to clear, max. AQ40 wasn't a joke in the least, I hated fights like C;thun and Sartura where it took many, many, many attempts to finally learn. And yeah, Naxx pre-bc was no joke either, tho I only cleared a bit of it before BC :*(

3: Dont play it from the start

The new StarWars game is just The old republic. BUT that game looks like its going to murder people in their sleep!! I just hope they dont charge an arm and a leg a month to play it.
