Message: <blockquote data-quote="FriarRosing" data-source="post: 4601749" data-attributes="member: 63942">I started playing WoW again a few months ago, and as always happens after a few months of playing it and getting pretty into it, I've found that I can't wrap my mind around why anyone would play. This includes me.I know dudes (college students, I should say) who put in a good 30-40 hours a week on that mother. And to think, all those hours put forth to make numbers go up and add spikes to your dude's outfit. You run around, hit 1-0 on your keyboard, run out to and area, kill stuff, run back to turn in the quest only to have the quest giver tell you to run back out to the same area and kill the same guys with slightly higher numbers and slightly different outfits. Then you go on to the next area and do the same thing. And none of this effects anything. The entire world stays exactly the same as you do this. You go back where you were and now new people are doing exactly what you did. Nothing goes anywhere. The world is static. Oh my god I am going insane.Thinking of it, I can't imagine how anyone could ever say D&D and WoW are remotely similar. If they are, you must be playing the most god awful D&D game I can imagine. In fact, I don't even think I can imagine it. If that is what you are doing, why the hell are you playing Dungeons and Dragons?But that's not the point.The point is that World of Warcraft is a terrible game that I hate but for some reason come back every few months to play. And that makes me sad.I grew up on the old Warcraft games, and I would love a good RPG in Azeroth. I wish they'd make one, but of course, that's not Blizzard's style. Which is cool, I guess.Now I am sad.:-(</blockquote>
