To WoW or not to WoW

Postby Corax » 13 Nov 2008, 15:01

That IS the question.

please don't vote before reading this:

so i've been thinking about playing WoW lately, and hopefully you guys can help me decide what to do.

so last time i stopped playing was because one day i was just grinding for some quest that was like "kill X Z's" and i was just like "this isnt fun right at the moment, im going to quit alltogather"

a more overall reason of why i stopped playing is because shamans (my main) had taken a drastic turn for the worse, since i was used to being super OP, going from super OP to super UP was really drastic and noticable.

the reason im considering playing now is because of these reasons:
-The Burning Crusade (worst thing to happen to wow ever, i will go into detail is you really want it) is now over (or in afew hours it will be).
-I could reroll a deathknight easaly (even tho i would have to play TBC again ugh) [also a quick question, i know that in order to make a deathknight you have to have any levell 55+ on your account, so does that mean that you can whip out a deathknight on any server you want? if so this wouldsave me 25$]
-or i could see what they did with shamans, but from what ive read its not to my liking.

im considering NOT playing because of THESE reasons:
-once i start playing, if im not in the right mood to play i will have the urge to completely quit again
-PvP used to appeal to me more than it does now, but hey you never know.
-Guilds, ugh
-leveling 55-70 with a deathknight (maybe tanking, being a new class, and being a troll will make up for this tho, seriously death knights seem like pre-TBC shamans)

btw theres no rush to start today or tommarow, its a big decision.

so what do you guys think, now that you have read the whole post you should vote in the poll

I voted above, and just going to answer your other question:

If you have a level 55 on you account, you can roll a DK on any server. Enjoy not having to spend $25. ^.^

I play wow on and off and its only when I get the urge. I may stick it for a month or two but get bored again. I would take it by the fact you don't play it often, if you just play it enjoy it and then stop once it frustrates you.

Wow is just one of those games for some people.
It was really too big:

I give you this instead

I vote to wow, because my friends are finally convincing me to go back in. You should suffer too.

I say no WoW. I also quit (even though I played the Wrath beta here and there) and I really have no desire to come back. Most of my friends are staying that way too (until Uni/College is over). Don't forgot Left 4 dead is coming out soon and I know your a huge valve fan so playing WoW will take off time away from the zombie madness

Make the decision yourself haha.

Shamans are not in a sorry state, and never really were. You sound like every other idiot on the official forums.

Shamans are coming into their best time ever. Resto is near unstoppable in pvp. Enhance is amazing for PvE.

Did you play Pre-BC?


I say WoW because trolling is awesome.

Shaman was the first class I rolled, and I played the same character well into BC, then rerolled Allliance as a shaman again.

I voted no. As well your reasons for not playing seem like the kind of things that would prevent you from enjoying the game and probably end up quitting again in a few days or so. I dunno im not a doctor, but in the end it's all up to you.

I'm quite tempted myself to go back to WoW. The only 70 I have is a alliance shammie with elemental gear and a some enhancement gear and no gold.

I vote no, mostly because you'll probably end up feeling bored again, and leaving, and then you'll have wasted money.

Though I was never one of those WoW hardcore players. I played a Tauren Druid waaaaay back when, for these reasons:
Female Tauren = cow boobies
Druid = shapeshift into animals
I had fun until Level 20 and then just stopped caring.

Also you have four cons and three pros.

You could wait a while and see what other players are saying about it.

it seems like most people are just voting based on their own beleif if all people should/shouldn't play wow, and not in my case. because of this im thinking the poll wasnt the best idea.

Go for it, I used to hate WoW with an iron first when I was younger. Then I got completely addicted and ditched all aspects of life to play it for about two and a half years, quitting about 4 times through that. Then losing all interest having gotten the best possible gear, doing every single raid in the game and every dungeon.

The games fun at first but once you reach the top the fun value drops like Enron.
