10 Reasons why… …this site is awesome.

Ten reasons why you shouldn’t play World of Warcraft

So why shouldn't you play the world's largest MMORPG? Where do I start..

 

1. You're wasting your time

It's not really a secret that games make the least of your time, but I felt like this is a very strong point. Why? Mainly because it's the most addictive game out there. Period (HEHE I DID A FUNNY). Soon you'll find yourself spending countless hours killing boars in a forest somewhere.. hey, we've all been there! But seriously, get a job or something instead.

2. It's a long, boring grind

As I mentioned earlier, you're gonna be killing loads of random creatures, not just boars. Basically the whole game revolves around killing stuff. Lots of stuff. First you'll need to do it to level up, then you'll need to do it do get better gear, then you'll need to do it for daily quests, then you'll need it for better gear. It's an infinite cycle you can't get out of.

3. It's unbalanced

Mages/rogues anyone? Yes, that's chills running down your spine. Everybody knows that World of Warcraft is terribly unbalanced. Hell, even Blizzard know it and admit it! So here's how they go about fixing that. First they read the countless QQ posts on their forums, then they acknowledge them and promise a "fix" as soon as possible, fast forward a few months - they've broken the game even further, then comes a new expansion which fixes the current balance issues and adds even more balance issues! Rinse and repeat.

4. It never ends

Here's the best part - whether or not you kill the biggest dragon in the game Blizzard will make another one, which is even bigger and drops even better items! So your gear becomes obsolete and you're back to points number one and two. You can never have the best items in the game, because the game is evolving as you play - all the time you've spent acquiring gear is worth bollocks to Big Brozzer. They figured that if you can be fucked to get it once, chances will be pretty good you'll be fucked to do it a second time... or third... or fourth... you get me.

5. The vast majority of the player base is retarded

...yea.

6. Sad support

That's another thing that might need some clarification. Rarely do Blizzard look at the technical issues forums, and their in-game support is just horrible. When you open a ticket you can pretty much bet your guts you'll be waiting at least a couple of hours if you're lucky (if you're not, just check your email the next day). I also don't get what's their obsession with role-playing even with people on non-RP realms?

Good evening, fellow adventurer! We have heard about your struggles, and I have been sent to assist you with... OI, COLONEL CUNTFACE, YOU'RE TECHNICAL SUPPORT, STOP DICKING AROUND AND HEAR ME OUT, WON'T YOU?!

Jesus... The nerve of them. And when they finally stop fucking around they half-solve your problem and tell you that they can't really help you, because they don't have the privileges. What the fuck are you there for then - assist me in jerking off to your grotesque RP routine? And for the grand finale, they give you a survey to see if you've been satisfied with the service they've provided you with. In other words - You got served.

7. Doesn't satisfy the gaming needs

You can never have enough of WoW, no matter if you're a seasoned player or a newbie. You can have ten level 85s, you'll still want more - they're using jedi mind tricks! I'm bloody sure of it. Even if you've been playing for over 10 hours straight, you still need to play more, that epic sword won't farm itself y'know. If you want satisfaction look elsewhere, over here you'll find only pain and suffering.

8. Rigged economy

Ever been at the auction house? Cheap glyphs, only 499g a piece! Hold on a sec, I don't exactly shit golden eggs, every single gold coin is a small piece of my frustration, how do you live with yourself charging me that much for something I desperately need in order to stay competitive? The AH has to be best display of homoerotic fetishes if I've ever seen one. You're forced to spend more hours farming gold for stuff than enjoying the game. Chores, chores, chores - you never have enough!

9. Makes you wanna kill orphans

Never farmed for a rare spawn/exotic pet/mount/achievement? It goes like this.. there's some very rare spawns that give you some sort of beneficial item if you can get to them first, and these spawns have a respawn timer ranging anywhere from 3 to 48 hours, you just gotta be there to kill them when they do spawn. Sounds easy, right? WRONG. The scarce supply is the exact reason just about everyone's looking for them!

Imagine the following situation, you've been awake for 20 hours straight camping a rare spawn, you see it and you get excited so you charge at it, but wait! What's that next to it?! Could it be? Oh my goodness, he just killed it! A fellow player just snatched that rare item that you could have had... There goes your sanity. Believe me, that's not uncommon, not at all - it happens on an hourly basis. Players from all realms are doing exactly that just as I'm writing this. Do you have the nerves to handle it?

10. It costs... A LOT

I'll just let the numbers speak for themselves.
$13.99 for vanilla + The Burning Crusade; $28.50 for Wrath of the Lich King; $22.79 for Cataclysm; $15 a month.. EVERY MONTH.

...and that's 10 out of 10, hope you enjoyed it.
