These people are playing the wrong game. At least when I played it, WOW forced players to do either Arenas or Rated BG to get any type of meaningful PVP gear. To play either Arenas or Rated BSs, you really must belong to a guild. Its really bad for players who don't want to or may not have the time (or patience) to belong to a guild or want to put up with anonymous individuals who may or may not be emotionally stable at the other end of the internet.
Nevermind that less than 25% of the WOW population do Arenas (even less do Rated BG's). As stated in other posts WOW Arenas are just not very enjoyable for those who dont' want to stress out arguing with other people ... I for one have enough stress from daily life and not really care to get more in a video game ... its the finger-pointing, blaming, inferiority complexes, elitisms and issues with other players that sour the game.
My advice ... dump WOW and try other MMOs ... plenty of more fun MMO choices these days. There are other MMO's do not force players to spend hours playing guild politics and dealing with people who can care less about eachother.
I am not going to give any advice as to what game to join but I must say that I have had the best time in gaming since leaving WOW and joining another MMO.
@Monkey D Luffy I find it interesting that for such a "failure" of a game, how you admit to want to play it if it becomes F2P ... keep hoping kid!! lol!!! Keep the hope alive!!!! lol!!!!
What is really pathetic is that massively.com rated swtor as the number one mmo released in 2011. PATHETIC! swtor is clearly unfinished and does not meet the expectations of many mmo veterans due to its lack of basic features.
Since swtor does not break any barriers of innovation, it should (at the very least) have meet the basic feature standards of already existing mmo's like wow, rift, etc.
Yes!... totally agree with the SW:TOR-as-game-of-the-year-is-stupid opinion. Rift should be the winner and its not even close.
I am not saying SW:OTR is bad. However, its been out only a few days and to declare it "game of the year" winner is absurd. Rift, on the other hand, with all its expansions throughout 2011 IS in fact the clear winner.
The wow killer already happened ... its wow itself. Wow is becoming old ... this is just reality. New games are coming with better graphics, better gaming scenarios, etc. Improving wow is not possible with the current wow gaming architecture ... needs a new one (Titan anyone!?).
After three years of developing my wow characters leaving wow was very, very difficult. However, once I started playing the new game (that shall remain nameless) I got into it and never looked back. I did, however, designed and named all my new characters in the new MMO the same as my wow characters ... in a way, all my characters from wow transferred with me to the new MMO. MMOs may change but my characters will only die off when I do :)
