My attitude towards all the ridiculous hype is just..... apathy. After tooling around in other mmo's now, all the glistening 'amazingness' of WoW starts to...well... tarnish. I see people 'preparing' for an expansion farming gold and I have to just laugh at it. It's a
game.
Working your ass off to 'prepare' for an expansion? Brain goes 'wtf?!?!'.
Some WoW fans are so...indoctrinated. As one of them, once, I think I now understand how it must feel to be, say, an ANC supporter. Okay maybe that's a bit of a stretch/flame
. I mean I probably will play Wrath of the Lich King again, for a bit of casual fun on the side. But yeah, once you've played some other mmo's, you kinda reevaluate why you're doing it in the first place.
Is it to have a second job? Or have fun?
Much iof the problem with WoW is actually how 'exhausted' all the options are. There used to be a time where if you had ful lfirst aid or fishing or cooking, it was something special. Now it's 'expected'. I see these guys running around in Tier6 and Season4
everywhere, and all the magic is gone. Everyone is a superhero. And when everyone is, no-one is. Yes Wrath will reset much, and introduce much, but people are already approaching the expansion as a 'race' to max-out level, tradeskill and grab the top-end gear before it's even
out and I realise the magic of jsut being able to discover something for yourself is, irretrievably, gone forever. No matter how many expansion they release. Everything will be devoured relentlessly by the legion of ravenous termites that is the WoW fanbase.
I mean i walked into Org yesterday to experience the Scourge event, and thanks to just reading a lousy blog (wowinsider) I knew exactly what to expect. Afterwards I was like, "...That was it? Am i the only one impressed?"
World of Spoilercraft. The only way to really enjoy this game seems to be to divorce yourself from it's community.
