I guess so… I was 30+ when the game was released.

Playing Overwatch, COD, and other games like that. People don’t like the idea of commitment in most cases, and WoW is a game which requires some level of commitment.

I dunno, I am 24 and know lots of other early 20s players. Most of them like me, people who have been playing since we were too young to understand what we were doing. Maybe the younger crowd thinks you’re too lame to hang out with? :rofl:

I wouldn’t pick up and play this game now because of all the bad reviews. There are newer games coming out that I’d opt for over this old, dying one. The game’s age is daunting to newbies, even though Blizzard has tailored it to be pretty easy to get into. The community is also not the most welcoming. Just reasons that I personally wouldn’t get into it now if I didn’t already have history established with it.

Warcraft has the older people for sure compared to other games. We keep to ourselves in our guilds while we watch the zoomers rush the content, talk about parse this and parse that and then they start complaining about no more content. We also see them online playing at 2pm when we’re at work. I just can’t imagine why they run out of things to do. XD

there are still teens and younger kids playing just not as much as when the game was in it’s prime as most of us who grew up playing WoW back then are older now.

teens now days don’t really care for mmorpg’s either they want a quick fix imo thus why they play games like LoL, CoD, etc… something they can leave then come back to in WoW if you leave pretty much its like real life things will change on you, either you keep up with it or you playing catch up.

Who exactly do you think is doing the science around here? Many are already dead, and humanity is still catching up to newly invented information… I mean, in statistics alone we’re just now getting caught up with ideas almost 300 years old.

I don’t know. But, whoever’s doing it needs to hurry up.

"Hey little Billy, want to play a game where you can spend legit, months developing your characters armor until one day it means nothing and you have to do it again and repeat that process 2 or 3 times for 2 years? Then all the time you spent leveling you have to do that again too THEN redo that same armor grind repeat for 2 years?

Sounds fun right little Billy?

little Billy where’d you go?"

:rofl:

But it’s a chance for people who have to be the adult get to act childish in a incognito sort of way. Quite seductive isn’t it.
