My updated list of reasons why World of Warcraft is a terrible game.

Re: My updated list of reasons why World of Warcraft is a terrible game.

yes the item loot lag is fucking annoying. i sit there sliding on my knees for a good 2-3 minutes before the game decides, HEY! here you go!

the 1 thing i hate the most about this game is the fact that when i want to log on I CANT. in ffxi, whenever i couldnt log on, i was told about it. ie: maintenance, ddos attacks, etc. in wow, they randomly give you a message saying you cant login. 75% of the time i log in and when there is NO message, i get stuck and the 'retrieving your character info...' and it sits there forever. if i change realm to another server i have a character on, i get YOU ARE QUEUED: NO. 436 Estimated TIME: 32 minutes. W T F. w/o the amount of popularity this game has you would think they can scale their network to allow for more connections.

and whats with all the bugs in the game. so many quests are bugged. and whats the game balances? its like the dev team is filled with 14 yr old boys that think, oh this would be so cool if <job> could do this huh?! yea lets put it in! 2 days later: hmm all the druids and rogues complain about it, lets take it out now! theres no planning, no testing, no vision behind this game half the time. its all about making the gamer happy by putting in things that are utterly ridiculous.

why do i play this game then? i do enjoy the fact that i can get some things done in 1-2hrs of game time.

the only thing i kinda like about WoW is that the moves/abilities are right on the screen.
and it would be pretty cool in FFXI if you could jump. Other than those reasons i hate wow.

The GUI is quite well done for the game's speed. I wouldn't want such an intrusive GUI in FFXI though, because there's so much to see. It'd be like cuting off the bottom 20% of a painting.

i did like wow's questing system, though.

if they added that questing system to ffxi, this game would be perfect. if you did it right, it could take away 99% of this game's (non-economic) problems. it would add some soloability and give you a reason to talk to npc's (gasp! the horror!)

^i agree, wow's quest system is better than ffxi quest system (not mission though cayse missions rock ^^)

I agree some of the WoW bugs are a little annoying like being dumped off a boat in the middle of the ocean and I admit I have to learn to use that UI because I miss tells and people talking to me in /say so much. Although after my EQ UI the FFXI seemed so primitive in that you couldn't filter battle spam to another window but the fact it was so simplistic was yet another problem due to the hindrances imposed by the PS2. Maybe the EQ UI was overkill, here's what it looked like before I quit.

That's on odd thing to say. FFXI's awful, indivisible, unmovable chat box took up the whole bottom quarter of my screen. :/

You do know you can change the maximum size, as well as make it disappear while nobody is chatting?

I might be able to understand the relevance if I could read Japanese.

Or if you had simple comprehension skills.
