       ya right wait till lich king comes back and you will be sayin the exact oppisite like 3 years of raidin in wow is something hard to do or acheive either way games not even been out a week and newb fanbois like you might as well call it the greatest thing since sliced bread.

    Ya, the same exact leveling with new skins on old model mobs.  Few more instances that are the same.  Then get to 80 for maybe 1 more battleground to grind out for hours upon hours.

    Can't Wait!!!

    I was a fan of WoW, but the best of the game is behind us.

  • Bought the game, but can't play it tonight.

    1.  Paying 50 dollars for a game that's online only and requires a subscription of 15$.  So it costs 3 times the amounts + some to even play this game for 1 month, but I can't play it cause I need to put it a CC or game card.  Maybe I wanted to try out the game so wtf? 

    2.  If I fucked up let me know.

     

    Wtf is this screwing with MMOs lately.  Same garbage I had to go through with WoW.  If I paid the 50$ shouldn't I be allowed to sign on and play for 30 days without subscribing?

    I disagree, there was an obvious reason it took 3 time longer.

    Yes it is obvious, time and nothing else.  Bobs' friend Fred is playing another MMO right next to him.  They both play for 5 hours killing orcs, gathering resources, etc in their respective games.  Can Fred really look at Bob and say his gameplay was much harder, because TOMORROW he will have to do it all over again. 

     

    Correct it was harder for bobby to achieve the same goal in the same amount of time = harder game compared to easier game.

    Ask a factory assembly line worker with 15+ years experience if their job keeps getting more difficult after doing it for so long or if it just gets boring after a while.  Repeating the same task according to some in this thread must increase challenge and difficulty factor right?

     These comparisons aren't valid.  It comes down to WoW being simple to learn, a good UI, and overall easier game.  Time is involved, but things tend to take longer when it's more difficult to do.

     

    Eve is a completely different game than Fantasy MMOs, which is why I keep saying fantasy MMOs.  I've only tried the trial of Eve, but when the ship started flying itself I stopped playing.  Sort of an apples and oranges comparison to be honest.  Kudos to Eve for not following the typical EQ MMO formula that just about every FANTASY mmo has done for years.

     Eve is a perfect example regardless of the genre.  It's a much harder game and doesn't completely spoonfeed you your way to endgame.

    Again, you say WoW is spoonfed and other games are harder, but never really point out the WHY of your opinion.  What little you have said exists in every other MMOs almost cut/paste which is why you point isn't really valid other than generalizing everyone who plays WoW as if all 10 million people are clones incapable of playing other MMOs.  I'll just chalk you up as someone who needs to put everyone else down to make your opinion seem worthy.  Cheers.

     What's there to point out to you?  From the quests, to the crafting system, to getting into a pvp fight everything is easy in this game.  Nothing is hard.  It's learned within minutes if it even has to be learned.  No research needs to go into playing WoW, nothing.  You can pick up WoW level up to 70 within a couple weeks.  Simple and EASY.  I find other games have steeper learning curves.  The actual gameplay in most are easy.  I can agree, but WoW overall in every aspect is easier. 

    For myself, I have not found any MMO that really stands out as challenging anymore.  They all pretty much play the exact same way.  I find it ridiculous for people who want to think they play harder or more skilled games just because they pour more time into playing a game. 

     

    There's games that are more challenging to learn and require a little more research to learn what to do and how.  Eve, UO, many other MMOs are harder in this way.

    I don't think this is going anywhere really since we have differing opinion on what's easy and what's not.  We can leave it at WoW is easy imo, and you find 0 games not challenging at all.
