World of Warcraft players?

[Outcast]

Galaxies was cool until they destroyed it by letting anyone become a Jedi right off the bat...

 

[Millinex]

People need to stop PvEing. Last night/tonight no RBGs because our warlock has to raid lolfirelands joke content. What a jerk right ;(

 

[Em Wright]

PVE is the bomb. I'd much rather raid a dungeon than put up with obnoxious PVP tactics.

 

[GSDlover]

Yeah I prefer PVE to PVP.

I used to ONLY like PVP on my rogue, but with my hunter I like both (more so pve).

Also brewfest woohoo.

 

[GSDlover]

I'm also noticing... Is everyone on here on Ally? No hordies with me? ):

 

[cid990]

I was Horde all the way. Seemed to have a different main for each expansion but never ventured to the alliance.

 

[Em Wright]

I liked races on both sides. But I played Alliance because my husband is Dwarf obsessed and I liked Draenei a lot. We talked about going Horde and we leveled a few characters to twenty, but we stayed Alliance.

For the record though... Red is my favorite color!

Define obnoxious pvp tactics??? This honestly boggles me... How is beating a scripted boss fun? It's built to be beat, isn't the point of games to sometimes lose?

For those wondering - I play both horde and alliance, horde on illidan/cho'gall/blackrock/twisting nether and alliance on KT, Tich, Darkspear.

 

[Nitelion94]

I played it for a while to change it up frim guildwars but never could get in to it like guildwars. So I'm just waiting for guildwars2 and elderscrolls5 in nov

 

[BloodyBaroness]

I prefer PVE. Raiding is fun to me. Our groups laughs and gets into all sorts of wacky hijinks. It's a game and it's my fun outlet. I don't enjoy the attitude and arrogance of some of the PVP players. Vicious taunts and obnoxious players don't fall into the "fun" zone for me.

That being said, I will go toe to toe in 2v2 and BG's from time to time, but not very often.

It's funny because the people who often define pve as scripted fights you can't lose have never stepped foot in a real competitive raiding atmosphere. Sure you can go farm past tier instances all you want but thats like rolling Rmp in 3s and facerolling.

We spent the better part our wotlk days hunting down server first for hard mode achievements. Start with something fresh and don't run pushover casual raids. It's a matter of comparing them within their respective difficulty level. Sort of like farming points at 1500 compared to 2k+.

Also horde.

I've done both in pretty intense dosages. Pve offers a social experience that you'd expect from an MMO. Pvp to me is all about rolling flavor of the month classes.

 

[Em Wright]

Yeah... I've spent HOURS wiping on "scripted bosses" the first day they were released while we all had fun laughing and learning the fight.

Obnoxious PVP tactics.... Um how about two Rogues at the top of the bracket camping the rez point and killing everyone at the bottom of the racket instead of actually CAPTURING THE FLAG which is the objective of the BG. That's not my idea of fun.

I'd rather wipe on bosses and then feel the thrill as our TEAM finally kills the sucker and humps its lifeless corpse. Yep... that's the life!

That is exactly it. I WAY prefer PvE over PvP. I only PvP when I'm bored... and usually win (not always, as per above but win > lose).
PvE might be scripted, but the hard modes and difficult achievements are scripted for 10 or 25 people to play PERFECTLY, no mistakes allowed. 1 mistake and it's a wipe. Lacking gear? Tank not popping his CD exactly when it should be popped? It's a wipe. To be able to defeat that and with a group of friends is satisfying and is a great way to spend an evening with a beer and a great way to relax. I'm fairly good at both and I very much prefer PvE over PvP.
As far Cataclysm, I really like it. It's one of my favorite expansions right behind BC. I really enjoy the level of difficulty with cata that wasn't there with Wrath. I quit half way through Wrath because the content was too easy, we had everything on clear on a continuous basis and had nothing to look forward to for long stretches of time. Most of wrath was: tank run in, gather everything up, then AoE it all down... over and over, it got old, so I quit. I was very thankful for the level of difficulty they added into Cata. I hope the next expansion will be as difficult, if not more so.

I play both Alliance AND horde. I raided BC as horde and alliance both, quit Wrath but was raiding alliance and now I'm raiding Cata on alliance but may do so on horde too.

For whoever said there's no release date for D3 - it's supposed to be this November. Beta is out right now.

 

[Putty]

Although I agree with wrath being mind numbingly easy pve wise you can't discard Ulduar into the same category. Still the best raid to date. Despite all the idiotic nerfs.

 

[Tara80]

That IS True, Ulduar at the beginning was significantly difficult but they nerfed it so fast and hard (sort of what they just did with Firelands) that I didn't get the full enjoyment of it.

Thank God that I actually got all the way thru Firelands and some heroic mode too before the nerf bat came down yesterday.

<V A N Q U I S H> wasn't a real raiding environment? Blood legion wasn't a real raiding environment? I didn't go hunting "server first" those where under my belt from the start- I was hunting WORLD first. RMP is not faceroll either, at least when I played it to glad it actually required some communication/a brain. Wrath was a joke, none of the fights where overly "challenging", cata even more-so.

So your basing your view of PvP around the idea of random BGs, in which - no serious/good pvper takes seriously at all? Rated bgs/competitive arena is nothing like this.. I think the last time I took a random BG seriously- I walked out going 46-0 wearing my wrathful set at 85 - no I didn't que with anyone else either.

What fights so far require perfect play? Even mimiron 25 hardmode didn't require perfect play, neither did yogg 0 light, which was probably the most difficult fight of wrath, people could screw up, and still come out ahead.

Although I agree with wrath being mind numbingly easy pve wise you can't discard Ulduar into the same category. Still the best raid to date. Despite all the idiotic nerfs.

Ulduar was nothing next to sunwell. Muru will always in my eyes- be probably the hardest fight in the game.

That IS True, Ulduar at the beginning was significantly difficult but they nerfed it so fast and hard (sort of what they just did with Firelands) that I didn't get the full enjoyment of it.

Thank God that I actually got all the way thru Firelands and some heroic mode too before the nerf bat came down yesterday.

I remember sitting in general chat doing mimiron hardmodes listening to people wipe on the XT trash over and over. Now that was funny to listen to.

 

[Tara80]

DYK, I wasn't talking about Ulduar as far as difficulty. But current content, definitely rags heroic mode. Very few have been able to get him down - even some of the best guilds in the world. As far as I'm concerned though, they threw the nerf bat WAY too early (nerfed everything by A LOT this past Tuesday). It's becoming quite depressing.

Honestly, I can agree with the sentiment that the game isn't nearly what it used to be. My roommate and I are screwing around leveling some alts and we ran through Scholo last night. The bear tank ran into Rattlegore's room and pulled almost all of the risen constructs along with Rattlegore himself. It was saddening to me to see this because I remember very clearly how difficult Scholomance used to be and I remember fully decked out AQ40 and Naxx geared tanks dying when pulling more than 2 of these.
The game has literally become nothing but a mind numbingly satisfying 'burn everything down as soon as possible' game for the average WoW player.

 

[Putty]

Never raided in BC due to work - and if you completed hard modes in Ulduar in the first pair of months of it being released then my hat off to you sir.

I still believe, and no one can convince me otherwise, that PvP is completely based off of specific comps. WoW is not a balanced game due to PvE vs PvP and intertwining skills/talents. There's always and will always be FotM classes/comps every patch because that's how it's been.

Needless to say that without my friends playing any more I wasn't raiding, because pugging ruins the entire experience. I grew frustrated with all the bullcrap from arenas so I stopped entirely.

Not to say that WoW isn't a good game - because it is, but I've grown less stressed/frustrated and a bit richer every month from quitting altogether.

 

[Allalaskan]

My husband and I used to be really into WoW. But we finally got fed up with the bull crap and trying to find a decent raid guild that wasn't just a bunch of morons or had no concept of fun. We enjoyed Lich King, but Cata just became meh.

My main was an Enhance (during LK - Ele for Cata) Shaman on Alliance. We played on Sen'jin. My secondary main is a DW Frost DK that I adore playing. I do miss the game, I just wish I didn't have to put up with other people to raid.

We went back to Guild Wars and are awaiting Guild Wars 2 anxiously. I'm an avid Star Wars fan, but I have mixed feelings about TOR. My biggest fear is that it'll be another crappy MMORPG like Galaxies. *shudder* That game was the suck in a BIG way!

Considering that its been in the works now for almost 6 years I sure hope its not a flop. I never played Galaxies but heard it wasnt very good.

Because different people like different things, just because you like pvp and they dont and they like pve and you dont doesnt mean you are right and they are wrong. Just like some people like melee and others casters, it all depends on what the individual person likes to do and what playstyle they have.

No offence but just reading your posts your coming off like you take this way too serious, its just a game...thats it haha.
