Halo 2 was similar, yeah.
After like 5000 hours on that game playing just to play wasn't fun anymore. I played for rank and leader boards, they took those down and it lost it's fun. I don't understand how this is a hard concept for you guys. I don't see any of you watching the exact same movie every single day of your lives, no matter how good it is. I don't know of anyone on this board that kept playing the same FFVII save for another two years after they had killed everything, just because doing random encounters against level 50s was so awesome! I got bored of wow a while ago but it's fun to rank worldwide on encounters, I don't see the harm in that.
Besides, why do you care if I keep playing anyway?
I still play. Most of us in this thread have been playing longer than you - people like Mzo are taking their first break pretty much ever.
We'll most likely continue to play - even if 25 man raids offer no additional bonus over 10 mans... because we don't care about worldwide status, like most people.

The best bit is that they're the same guys who would brag about their lolbears and killing Kael in like t11 gear just because you hadn't yet so they are absolutely all about the epeen. Long since left in the dust, all they can do is denounce being like that to save some face.
But I still have you all beat because I have a fucking phoenix and the Immortal title. OH SNAP BRETT I WENT THERE WAY TO BE LATE
So I forced my hands in my pockets and felt with my thumbs and gallantly handed her my very last piece of gum.
Hostages? **** em'
It's funny how anyone would care about their WORLDWIDE STATUS regarding a game like this.
World of Warcraft is easy. All it takes to succeed is half a brain, a decent computer and way, WAY too much time to waste. And then 24 other people just like that.
We just did that shit to make fun of Opaque because he only did that shit after another nerf or two. And I think we were in ZA gear when we did it - we didn't even really bother with Black Temple until post 3.0
None of us have ever really cared about clearing raids at the "front of the pack" or whatever. We realized a long time ago that fighting the server on patch day to kill the first boss of Bullshit Lair is beyond retarded.
Which is fine, I played for the first year feeling the same way. If it's still fun keep doing it.
But I don't have fun playing it anymore, at least, I don't have fun because of the mechanics of the game anymore. Truth be told if there were no WoL type parse sites that rank dps I probably would have quite after I killed Arthas in 25 normal. I basically keep going because my competitive nature wants to see what I can do before the expansion ends.
WoW moving to an even more casual nature wouldn't matter to me if I still found the base mechanics of this game entertaining. Or if all the people I raided with in the beginning of this expansion still played, but that's not the case. I'd rather just play FFXIII or Reach instead of dicking around with people I don't know in content that anyone can do for rewards everyone will get.

Ha. I'll buy that from you but not all of them. Some of these guys don't seem nearly as sensible as the rest.
Also. Tease him about the Immortal. Do it. Do it.

I have Death's Demise, Grand Crusader, the like 30th highest GS on a server with 4 guilds 11/12HM and my dick is like nine feet long. Also I got world first Sindragosa Spriest DPS during the 5% buff.Originally Posted by Curtis
Am I cool now?
It sounds like you are in need of a break - to be honest.
The game is a fun game, but once you get into that mode of playing it every day, it's only a matter of time before you aren't really enjoying yourself and a week off will make you not want to log on at all.
I've been on both sides of that feeling. Right now I log on about once every few days - but my girlfriend is leveling like four different characters to 80 (meanwhile, she hasn't played since Vanilla)
The great thing about 10 mans is that you can actually find 10 people you like and want to raid with.
When I raided 40 man dungeons, I like about 25% of the people in the raid. When I raided 25 man dungeons, I liked maybe half of the raid. My hope is that when I am doing 10 man dungeons, I will like everyone in my vent channel
ALSO: Can't you still get the Immortal? I need Undying/Immortal/Starcaller like a motherfucker. My go to title lately is 'the Exalted'
And I Have Cut My Body
Nah. But only because I never cared about those. But really, grats on the world first. I'd have had it on KJ, pre-Hand of the Deceiver, had Innate not sucked and wiped at 3%. Or post-Hand of the Deceiver had Innate not sucked and actually showed up the next week instead of halting BC raiding.
Really the only thing you could get now that I'd give a shit about is Invincible. Get to work!
Edit: That's actually one of the things I DO miss about raiding pre-88. Before I was leading I was easily one of the best in the world at my class/spec which, geeky as it is, felt pretty damned good.
