Has WoW lost its innocence?

What a good article. I remember starting as like a night elf and taking the boat the the place in the Wetlands, then running from the Wetlands to Ironforge and level there.
I also remember how levels 1-10 took like a day and a half.
And when I got into the levels 20, I could only do 1 level a day.

I miss those days.

Treston, u said the keyword... PRENERF -
In my eyes it is a failure when u can clear a new raid instance the same night its out.. yet i wont be surprised if they nerf some parts of it

Every encounter gets nerfed. It's been done vanilla, bc and WotLK. That said, top guilds have always cleared content fast. I really don't care how fast it's cleared. I'm in a pretty good guild and have done every hard mode. The only thing that matters to me is if it's fun.

So far, I've enjoyed ICC. The normal modes aren't too hard, but they aren't too easy either. They are fun and that's all that matters. Now once we kill arthas in months time in normal mode, then I'll seek the challenge from hard modes.

I couldnt agree more with this post wow is a joke atm, there just no challenge, and leveling is just to easy and theres no fun back in vanilla wow gaining a level made you feel like you have achieved something but now its nothing. And pvp is even worse than pve imo resilence killed pvp. The game is to gear dependant its not about skill anymore its about gear.

Honestly, and thinking about it a bit. The two quests i remember the most are "Are You There Yet"i... and The Stairs event on Zull Farrak.. That was thrilling.
Killing onyxia and having the head showed of.. X Roads Raiding. And waiting 'till raid started on MC or BWL with Alliance and Arriving horde guilds and someone started a fight and.. no raid only gank time (Later ON AQ40). Yes that was fun. Now grind X Rep to get Y item. No more PLS DROP CENARIUS or STORMRAGE. And joint eforts to kill Azuregos.... The best tanking sword (Quel Serrar or whatever it was named) a huge quest and kill onixya so you could have it.. That was fun.. Miss it.

Turn off DBM and Omen

i mean for the fact that u can get lvl 80 in no time and there is no hard raid the only req is gear the game is not about skill its just about playing it as much as possible to be good

WoW got boring for me the day I got good at botting. But OB and glider died. So I stopped, then I started MMOTotus, and it died about 2 weeks later. So as long as I am not botting I am good.
