Never thought I would say I'd see a member from one of my most respected guilds back in the days I did play as well. I sit on same opinion there, they made WoW into a welfare mmo. One my mates still played and he said he used a good 2 weeks on hcs + minor easy raids to get the last tier set from scratch. Which even kills more for me, I mean - I sure dont have time anymore and that I also have a special person in life, I dont want to risk it. Which leaves me to say, WoW changes from one of the top mmo's to coward game. Before it did take skill and it did take time to gear up, but now you get it thrown after you which takes out the pleasure of completing things. All you do is basically, kiss and tell the whole game.
But I still hold WoW in good regards, I have some friends I would never get if it wasn't for that game, but oh boy I could have lost so many things because of that game as well.
