No other game has something similar to WoW arena that is nearly as fun.
To quickly comment on this one… well, I definitely tried Classic when it first came out.
The issue I ran into there was that there was too many people around, things felt too crowded for my own tastes. I’ve always been a lone wolf of sorts, going off to do my own thing instead of following wherever the crowd was going. I didn’t like competing with other players for mobs and other quest objectives out in the world. To top it off… the general feel of the playerbase didn’t feel any different from retail, which isn’t a good thing.
I guess a lot of this stemmed from my own experiences during Vanilla, which largely consisted of me going to the largely abandoned corners of the world on a backwater server. Intentional or not, I rarely ran into other players.
Classic, at least at the time, wasn’t allowing me to re-create that experience. So I gave it a rest until things died down… and at this point, there’s no exactly a lot of motivation to hop back into Classic.
Simple curiosity.
… though I really have to wonder why twist their interpretation of a question into an attack of sorts and get defensive over it. I could certainly hazard a guess, though I’d like to hear it from the people who jump to this conclusion.
Because i’ve built my characters and played the game for years and my subs cost gold which i have lots of.
I’m a lot more casual but this game is still a lot of fun in moderation.
what about retail. I have read your other threads where you expressed your unhappiness over the game. Out of curiosity, why continue playing it ??
it certainly comes off that way a limit of text based conversation sadly, no attack here i simply respond to your curiosity with my own . you ask a question that undoubtedly will bring out a defensive response people will think your talking down to them for liking something, this is heightened by the times we are in were liking things can bring all kinds of …unwanted attention.
Kenshi is single player. If I could play it with my friends, we’d probably ditch wow
Because WoW has factions, as an Alliance player I feel I have duty to slay hord players. In other games there is no faction or lore, just mixed up cheap stuff.

Never said I was still playing the game. Haven’t logged into it for around two and a half months at this point… but due to how I set-up my subscription, I still have some time left before I decide to either keep going or pull the plug.
A lot of these threads are fishing to see if there’s a reason for me to give this game another chance.
I don’t play WoW over other games.

I’m not necessarily looking for a game with longevity… that just seems to be the trend in most games nowadays. Take a look at even CoD or Battlefield… they have levels that grant you new perks and it’s just like why bother at this point? I’ve played CoD and BF2 and I liked them well enough but one CoD isn’t radically different from the next CoD and then it’s just constantly repeating the same maps over and over and over with nothing to show for it.
Or Assassin’s Creed… I played the first one and thought it was pretty cool but then the next two came and it’s the same game and became super repetitive. I don’t want to level up Ezio and get the same moves I had when I was Altair… I don’t want to climb up the same buildings looking for the same feathers in a different arrangement from the last game.
My brother recently tried to get me to play Path of Exile and I asked him why should I? What’s the point? If I want to play an ARPG I’ll just hop back on to D3 where I have established characters and stuff. I’m sure PoE is a good game but it’s more of the same and didn’t seem to have a story I cared about so why put in the time to level yet another character in yet another ARPG that’s not very different from other ARPGs.
I guess to summarize, most games just aren’t worth the time investment in them and I no longer find it fun to do the same thing over and over and over again.
If it ever comes out. Some time in 2042 I am sure. But yes, I plan on trying it.
Borderlands 3 is still a mainstay of mine right now, along with Civ VI As well as running through MechWarrior 5.
try Sekiro…I have been playing that alot (and dying alot)

That is brilliant!
I never thought of just sitting and watching The World. Am going to try it next time I am too tired to play but not yet to the point of sleep.
My min/max friends love POE and BDO. Me, not so much. As you said, I already have plenty of characters in D3 that I can go in and play. If I have to min/max to even start having any kind of success, you can bet I won’t be having any fun.
I don’t know. I don’t really enjoy the game or have fun right now. But nothing else to do.
I don’t, I’ve been playing Dead by Daylight and GTFO a lot and been touching wow alot less the past few weeks. Only thing that keeps me playing wow is m+.
I don’t. I currently play swtor and going through the Wolfenstein’s over WoW.
I think I’ve logged in for a few seconds in the last three months…
The essence grind is stupid.
Gamers play multiple games. Some people even play multiple mmorpgs.
It scratches an itch that other games don’t scratch. And for some, its hard to define why it scratches that itch, or even what that itch is. The second another game scratches the same itch, they’ll begin looking at the flaws of both. And maybe, just maybe, they’ll change games.
Gamers are also a fickle lot.
Exactly, its just one of a number of games. I mean, I’m slowly working through my list of games on my Xbox, playing WoW, among other games.
It’s just one of several games. While I may have issues with it, it does manage to scratch an itch. It just doesn’t scratch the itch as much as it used to. So … I think the main reason I stay now is friends are here. And I can’t get them to leave with me to other games.
Even when wow was my main game, I’d often take breaks of a month or two at a time. Right now I’m taking a break from FFXIV, and it turns out I have a bunch of wow tokens saved up, so I’m playing wow for a month.
My main reason was to catch up on the story, since I was around for the beginning of BfA, but there’s no clear series of quests and I am bombarded with content from 8.1, 8.2, and 8.3 all at the same time, so it’s kinda incoherent. Makes me long for the MSQ system of FFXIV, even though I’ve cursed that more than once…
