Why WoW is lame and should be banned...

Lol @ white parents. But yeah, I think in theory, the parents did the right thing, but they just handled it the wrong way. Kid's parent's shouldn't have been dicking around. I would've just walked up and ripped the power cord out of the computer and walked away. If the kid got on after that, I would've pulled the circuit breaker to the whole house, forcing the kid to go to sleep. And if the kid knew how to work the circuit breaker, I would've just beat the kid's ass. I like to play with the kid's emotions first, then spank if that doesn't work. Makes the whole thing slightly entertaining.

Also, Wow should be banned. No, I'm pretty much sayin' this semi-seriously. The whole concept just sounds so geeky and nerdish that it shouldn't exist. When people make an MMO where normal people can get in on it, then MMOs will be alright. Otherwise, you're just helping make our society slightly more retarded than it already is. Unfortunately, Blizzard seems to excel at this...

Which is still reason enough to ban it. __________________ Investors Business Daily on Obama "death panel": "People such as scientist Stephen Hawking wouldn't have a chance in the U.K., where the National Health Service would say the life of this brilliant man, because of his physical handicaps, is essentially worthless."

You're either being facetious or a complete retard if you're being serious; WoW is probably the most accessible MMO (if not one of the most accessible games) marketed now, or ever. The fact that people get hooked on it isn't anyone's fault but their's, and that of their addictive personality.

If you honestly think it takes less time to get going and accomplish a fair amount in WoW as compared to something like Starcraft, where micro and at least some semblance of skill come into play, you're kidding yourself.

Hell, I don't even like the game that much, but you're also posting on a gaming message board where people like Anbesol (and this is just my impression, maybe I'm wrong) spend all day long trolling and posting, so it just seems a bit hypocritical (flamebait is sweet).

Aaaaanyway, funny ytmnd.

I'm also sure it's not geeky and nerdy to still be caught up on things like the Dreamcast and Tecmo Bowl, right? Oh wait... You realize that you are following the story of one retarded person on WoW almost religiously, checking the forums of a video game you hate yet never played, and choose to go out of your way in some vein attempt to share what's not really funny due to legendarily awful sound quality. Okay, yeah, people that play WoW are way nerdier than you. __________________

Sky_Armada 99 Firemaking!!! Join Date: Oct 2004 Location: USM Posts: 3,393	Wow is the hardest MMO I have ever tried to play. There are way to many freaking buttons, and hotkeys you need to set up if you actually want to do something interesting. I also can't stand having to pick one job, and pretty much having to keep that job the entire time (Ex. choosing a warrior, then never being able to be a mage). The only way to change is to make a completely new character. I'm not saying WoW should be banned, I just think it's overrated. __________________

Way too many buttons? Dude, the only buttons you really need are WASD walking, everything else you can click on. And why would you be able to just become another class? That wouldn't make any sense unless you had to relevel it up anyways. What game does let you do something that absolutely drastic? Compared to games like Elder Scrolls character creation WoW's is massively forgiving. FYI, there's a ton of different kind of warriors you can be. Don't like being protection and tanking all the time? Put all your talent points into the fury tree and duel wield your way to be the top damage dealer.

Let's say you could reroll mage from warrior, now your bank is full of plate armor you can't use anymore and you're completely naked and unable to do anything to regain gear. Good game.

I don't think a game could ease you into things more than World of Warcraft. The game gives you two to three moves upon character creation. Gives you mobs that let you choose when the fights start in the starter zone. Leads you to every quest hub with quests just to go to them. Offers new moves and move upgrades to you every two levels, leading you to the trainer to do that, and letting you play with the move at your leisure in a way that doesn't feel overwhelming. And talent specs are not even offered until level 10, so you don't have to worry about that stuff.

WoW is so completely casual and easy to get into that my brain hurts so bad when people say how hardcore you have to be to play it. WoW has always been hearlded as the easy to get into MMO. And if you're looking for something easier then maybe Toon Town would be more up your alley.

Imp, some people just don't like games in wich upon immediate entery, I don't know EXACTLY what you're talking about. The game probably isn't worth my time. I shouldn't have to spend time learning how to play the game. The only thing I tolerate this for is a normal RPG because the world is inherently a fantasy world. An MMO game shouldn't HAVE to be so complicated. Let's take a look at WoW shall we? Woopie! Buttons up the wazzo! There's a great way to ease a player into the game! (and this about the screen with the least buttons on the screen I could find). Now, you expect me to spend hours figuring out that system and hours getting into a guild or whatever the hell you call it when I could be playing games ten times more interesting? __________________ Investors Business Daily on Obama "death panel": "People such as scientist Stephen Hawking wouldn't have a chance in the U.K., where the National Health Service would say the life of this brilliant man, because of his physical handicaps, is essentially worthless."

If you think WoW is complicated then you shouldn't go near any of the other MMO's out there right now. WoW is hands done one of the simplest games to get into, for any genre. WoW basically spoon feeds you everything you need to know about the game in the first few hours. There isn't one single aspect of the starting area that is complicated. Every quest is handed to you and explains exactly what you need to do and where you need to go. The abilities are explained in great detail, and are very very simple. The game never truly gets complicated. Imp is 100% correct in the fact that if you think that ss of WoW you posted looks complicated at all then you would be better suited for Toon Town. And anyone who is a Dreamcast fan is just as nerdy as a ++++ing wow fan. Pot calling the kettle black sir.
