Yes, but plenty of people can come here at the MxO forums and outright say MxO sucks. And we must sit back and consider their feelings and say "it's just their opinion".
Which is right that's what we should do. But if someone wants to say "WoW is queer" by all means let them.

I even bought the domain frostwhisper.net (the last WoW server I played on) because I wanted to set up a server forum (that was when they didn't have their own official server boards)... so I guess I got involved enough into WoW to form an opinion about it... about everyone I started to play with, and that includes half of my EQ guild, has stopped playing that game.. many went to EQ2, others simply went back to EQLive and me, I went to MxO and i am happy about the choice... even if WoW sells 10 million copies, that doesn't make it a good game... but when every MMORPG vet I know gets bored after a few weeks, it surely tells me something about it's quality... or maybe it just doesn't appeal to longtime EQ players because its so babyeasy and doesn`t involve any strategy... ok, there are raid-like encounters but every halfway organized guild can rush through the content of WoW in like 4 weeks, maybe less... its a game for noobs and kids... sorry, thats my view on the game and I don`t want to offend anyone... I was addicted long enough myself to know it can be really appealing, but in the end the word "queer" is pretty accurate... Message Edited by cynic on 10-31-2005 05:20 PM

There is never a point in 1v1 combat in WoW where you are rendered 100% helpless for the period of time to kill you before you hit one single thing..unless you just don't know *CENSORED* you're doing. OK, i've never played WoW, but i know people who do. They say its a pretty good game. And i'm not the one to argue with them. But plz, MxO may not be in the highest quality range as of yet, but theres still a thought process involved. I mean, have you ever really considered that its possible for anyone to get an average of 378? AN average. Have you ever looked at all the trees? studied them? found a weakness in ANY layout? As for rare items not being rare, i suggest you go into the hideout in Stamos and see how many watchers shades you get with your 50.it's all about doin things at the right time, and being able to see those things at that time. Hindsight is easy, its the thins that are happening thta are hard for many people to see. If all you do is sit around then you are not a very creative person. There are many things to go out and DO, complete, and study. It sounds to me as if you have taken the easy way out in PvP yourself and used hacker/knifer, the two quickest kill builds besides maybe assassin. I mean, i know that hacker doesnt take much skill, but say, what do you do if your opponent has sweep? or VD? or Both? I don't run hacker, but i have, and there are things you have to consider. just as a knifer has to deal with DR, other hackers, and IL. All you have to do is pay attention, and you could see that it isnt mindless. No more so than many other games.
