8 Reasons why World of Warcraft sucks

I’ve been playing World of Warcraft for the past months. Since I firstly bought the game, I leveled a 70 Warlock and a couple of <40 alts.

I decided to come up with a list about WoW. This game, as all the others, has its bad and its good side. Today I’m listing the top bad sides of WoW.

1) Levelling is hard

Yes it is. It takes averagely 20-25 days of game play to get your character to 70, where the real game starts. Do you want to loose 20 days playing so you can actually start playing afterwards? No.

2) Same mobs

After each 5-10 levels, you have to kill again the same Bristelback Boars (Horde) and Kobolds (alliance). Isn’t that annoying?

3) PVP = Killing guards

PVP servers are suppose to be…PVP! Player versus Player. Try attacking Grom’gol outpost and see 100’s guards appearing instantly and wiping your raid. We want PVP! Let the players defend their outpost and not guards :S It’s nearly impossible to PVP in WoW, BG’s are the only way to actually make sure you’ll kill players and not mobs.

4) Racism

Yes RACISM. Little things that improve the game such as RAF (Recruit-a-Friend) are NOT available for all countries. In fact, there are like 5-8 countries who can actually benefit from that. My country ain’t among those. So why is it that players from France get to level 3 times faster then I do? RACISM.

5) Attunement?!

Who needs it? Do you fancy spending hours on a lame chain quest to get in an instance after that? I’d really wanna see a person who is actually for attunement questing. Blizz, remove it NOW.

6) Expensive flying mounts

5,000 gold for an epic flying mount that can’t even fly in Azeroth. That’s insane. I think Blizzard is promoting gold-selling by setting these prices, although they claim they’re against it.

7) Rogues

I always get encountered by rogues in BG’s. My warlock has no chance against them. First they sap me, then they backstab, then they imobilize me again and again and again. By the end of the battle I get killed and he’s full HP. Their STUN abilities are OP.

8) Leveling alts sucks

It is horrible to get through the same quest line every time you want to re-roll your class. Not that it took me 20 days to get my warlock to 70, need another month to my shammy to that level too. Can’t blizzard make lvling alts faster for those who have the end-game level?

If there’s anything I skipped or you want to add, comment below and it will be added on the list :)

    I liked attunement questng.

    Wow sucks because fresh L80s can run through easy herorics and get conquest-badge gear, tricked out like their uludar-friends without having to do anything.

    The top level raiding teams will get the best gear, then newer players come along and get the same gear for a quarter of the effort.

    Pvp is too unbalanced. Arenas ruined the outdoor pvp groups that used to form so long ago (bgs too).

    Theyve geared the game to be basically easy, a 10 year old can come in and be as good as an intelligent, mature player, and still whine and cry that the game is too hard

    Blizzard did very well to sell and market the game to screaming kids whose parents buy them off with games to occupy their time.

    The only game I play now is Eve-Online. It’s hard, man! Dying has major consequences, not just a respawn and a slap on the wrist (equipment damage).

    Wow has become a childs game. Which makes sense, since adolescence has been the major group for video games for a long while now. Its just blizz being smart. Just not my kind of game anymore.
