Why I Can't Stand WoW Anymore

Look at it! I said look at it! Are you looking? I said look at it! Okay, you're looking? (Oh, god I hope someone get's this reference). Joke aside, After ESA dropped their support for SOPA, I decided to subscribe to WoW (again), and try it out. And now I find myself leaving for all the same reasons... Again. Here are my reasons, and I'm sure the fanbois already have their teeth and claws out to rip me apart, but I don't care!

Reason one is because WoW has more than 10 million players (or so they say) subscribed and playing, and yet... It feels like I'm playing a single player RPG. Hell, you don't have to communicate with anyone, and most of the population loves it this way. Dungeon finder only made it worse in my opinion. I mean now you have this handy dandy tool that lets you just join with random people that you can do one dungeon with and never have too see their faces or even bother to communicate with them ever again. Simply put, I've never played an MMORPG with so many players that promotes such an anti-social setup.

Reason number two, will most likely have people wanting to call me ungrateful and wanting to throw rocks at me and other various objects that will hurt my soft flesh. But anyways! Reason number two is because to me World of Warcraft's world has simply gotten way too big. Sure some may argue that you can fly everywhere and not just in Outland now so easily with your handy-dandy mounts, and I would have to agree, but that's not really what I mean. WoW is littered with so much content that I find myself pondering why there are so many pointless quests that are there just sitting above NPC's heads... You know what I mean? Those quests that no one does because they are unneeded and serve no specific goal? Those kinds of quests are all over WoW, and some may not care but it really bugs the crap out of me.

My last reason is because I'm seeing a trend that with each new expansion WoW has gotten easier... and easier. To the point that getting to level 85 doesn't take months... Not even weeks. You can easily get a toon to level 60 in less than two weeks now, without even trying. I know because I've done it. It makes me wonder what you could do if you actually tried... And I am sorry to all the people this may make butt hurt... Cataclysm plain sucks. Peace out.
