I hate to admit it, but I play WoW. I don't think it's so much that they polished things, I mean yes, they did; but they also made things so much more easy, and accessible.

That's a good thing and a bad thing. Good thing because more people can have access to things like raids or high end gear. Bad thing because there is virtually no exclusivity.

That's where the older games come in. Much harder, much less accessible; and they suffer for it. But if you can stick with it, it's pretty rewarding, far more rewarding than anything WoW can offer.

And that isn't a knock on WoW, don't take it as such. WoW is a well made game, by an amazing company.
