I absolutely feel a lot of pain whenever i give Blizzard any money,so no i will not be buying their xpacks.
Even my long time investment into Hearthstone is giving me pain,i wish i never gave them a dollar from day 1,i should have known better,i simply do not like the way Blizzard designs games.
Never forget 3 mile Island and never trust a government official or company spokesman.
I've bought every WoW expansion there is, but taking away Meta from Locks went too damn far! Fuck that expansion!
There are so many whiners who "quit" on every occasion. And guess what? They still play.
How do you explain the fall in numbers? Were they not real players? Have they all died?
Or are you like old SOE ceo John Smedley who claimed the millions of old SWG players were still playing in 2005 and 2006 when a query of any random server said "90 players online during Prime Time" of the 5k limit?
"going into arguments with idiots is a lost cause, it requires you to stoop down to their level and you can't win"
Got every other expansion, not getting this one. sorry but it's just to anti mmo by this point, I know for a fact that I would still just be standing in a city spamming the queue.
Down the road when it's on sale? Yeah, probably. WoW is still the MMO I've spent the most time playing, and an expansion is usually worth a month or three of entertainment before I get bored again.
AN' DERE AIN'T NO SUCH FING AS ENUFF DAKKA, YA GROT! Enuff'z more than ya got an' less than too much an' there ain't no such fing as too much dakka. Say dere is, and me Squiggoff'z eatin' tonight!
We are born of the blood. Made men by the blood. Undone by the blood. Our eyes are yet to open. FEAR THE OLD BLOOD.
Will not because I'm tired of solving Azeroth's problems and no matter what I do everything just gets worse.
The world is a miserable place and at every turn there are enemies trying to kill each other and it never ends.
When I log in all I feel is stress b/c there are things you must do if you want to progress in the game and it is far from a mellow/enjoyable gaming experience for me.
Maybe if they made an expansion that had a few mini games(like pet battles) and not an end of the world scenario like they have with every expansion I would prob play again.
i doubt it. I didn't get pandaria untill it was about a year old, and it just didn't feel like the wow i knew anymore. I know it's popular to fokus more and more on the solo-part of mmo's, but it's realy not why i play mmo's. I know other players can be a pain in the arse sometimes, but somehow that's just part of the package. Sometimes you meet the nicest people, and sometimes you dont.
Every mmo theese days come with a singleplayer storyline, and i dont like it. All thoose resourses spent on stuff that fits a singleplayer rpg alot better than an mmo. It fine to build an mmo with lots of stuff you can solo, but when you start making lots of stuff exclusively solo then it just feels wrong. I dont need to be the big hero in mmo's, it feels wrong when the story all evolves around me when i'm mostly playing with other people who realy should be of equal importance.
I dont think i'd like a 100% sandbox mmo, but i want more sand in my themepark. Also i want less fokus on levelling. ideally the levelling should just be a short tutorial to get startet on the real game. Ok, maybe more than that, but imo too much resourse are used on making levelling content compared to repeatable content people do at max level.

Guess i got abit off topic..... sorry bout that.
The whole point of MMORPGs is to not feel like they did years ago. They evolve. They change. That's one of the main benefits of the genre, yet its players seem hell bent on things rotting in the past.
You can play a single player game and just not install the patches, expansions, etc.
You can't plan an MMORPG like that.
If you like things to feel like they did in the Glory Days of the Genre indefinitely, you're playing the wrong type of game.
I wouldn't play it even for free. Devs are lazy, same reskins everywhere and community is as its worst.
Couple of years ago I would have agreed, but I was surprised how nice people have been. People wave also when going to area's where high levels are grinding mats, they stop and wait till you finish the quests.
Been pleasantly surprised.
I don't get what you mean about the devs? Game has run great for years. You want to see bad devs go play ESO!
Yes, I will buy it. I'd be undecided, but I'm really looking forward to the class changes, the new animations, and the artifact weapons.
I think those are really good quality of life changes - if handled right.
One thing that would give the game a bit of new life is a fully voiced quest line from 1-110. They don't have to change the actual quests much - but introduce "cut scenes" with proper delivery for quest immersion.
Would be a lot of work, sure, but I think it would help the level-up experience tremendously.
i have started Black Desert and is a great game. reminds me of lineage 2 somewhere deep inside. Black Desert is the only true "different" mmo i have tried for the last 5 years so i will stay there
I may hop back in eventually, but I'm still trying to figure out how I'd want to do it. I skipped the WoD hype train because the content just wasn't there and went off to play FFXIV for a while. Now that WoD has been out for a while and seeing the results, I'm glad I didn't buy the last expansion. If I could find a way to come back with all of my resources available on a brand new character on a new server, possibly on alliance side, and not have to deal with old baggage from when I was originally playing (like still being part of a guild I haven't talked to in ages now), I think it would be a very strait forward decision.
At this point it is pretty unlikely. However, I've also said that in the past for previous expansions and I've been wrong before.
Usually it depends on what my friends are doing at the time. If we're all bored; it might happen, depending on if someone brings it up and suggests it. Still, seems pretty unlikely at this point. (No one has showed any interest what-so-ever, we haven't even discussed the expansion itself.)

A factor for many others as well I suspect which may be influenced by other releases of course e.g. FFXV at the end of September.

Half the people who say no will give in and buy it.
How many delicate flowers have you met in Counterstrike?
I got a case of beer and a chainsaw waiting for me at home after work.
