Warcraft Cataclysm
Stsin:
I've gotten back into WoW last week after leaving since BC. Did log on off and on, just to say hello to friends, but that doesn't count. I understand that much is easier now. Like getting a group to do instances anytime you want. My gosh, that Dungeon Finder is awesome. Dual Spec now. Built in quest helper. Swimming mounts. Etc. So many new things added that makes the game more fun since I've left. They removed much of the tedious stuff. Blizzard always impresses me.
Don't get me wrong. I really enjoyed the 40 man raids pre-bc. Molten Core and BWL. My guild broke up before getting far in Naxx. But what I do remember is how much time this took out of my life each week. It became a job. I just don't have the spare time to devote a huge portion of my life for endgame content. Plus dealing with the turmoils from guild politics. So I think what they've done so far is good. Good for me, atleast. Anyways, call BC easy, yet 90% of the people still didn't see all the content before WotLK.
Transferred to a PVP server with friends now playing Alliance again. They are anxious to become Worgen, and building up their alt gear and such.
Gnome Warlock on Frostwolf (PVP).

iindigo, the lack of polgyons is still apparent ;D Though I was quite surprised when one patch catapulted WoW in the high end class when you wanted to play it in absolutely full details.
I really loved WoW but after BC and reaching level 70 I realized how monotone it is. After finishing all quests (daily weren't implemented at that time though I don't think I'd have liked them) it was only farming for the end game content and that was--to call it mildly--tiring.

Ohoh, don't remind me of Daily Quests -.- One of the worst things Blizzard ever put into WoW...
Those things ruined all prices and you got more gold than you could ever use with them...
@5mans: First the Dungeon Tool: That thing... i can't even begin to describe the negative aspects of that one... Searching Groups on the Realm had one BIG Advantage, you knew the people of your realm. Why do they still have Realms if everything is done in the Realmpool nowadays? Just stick everyone from one Realmpool on one Realm and you have the same result.
2nd: Difficulty... 5mans have been a joke since the first nerf in BC. And what's with those idiotic emblems?Since the day they put them into the game everyone only had purple stuff... Hell, in Vanilla you were glad if you had full blue equip Oo
Blizzard added such an inflation to the game it's unbelieveable... where is the fun if everyone has the same equip and there is nothing better to get? In Vanilla and Pre-Nerf BC you had ad least always the "Woah, someone already has THAT item"-effect... Lost that one completely after BC...
We had Naxx clear 8 days(!) after WotLK was available. Complete. Difficulty anyone? Fun anyone?

I won't be going back to WoW. Quit for good in December '08 and haven't been back since. I'm kind of over MMOs in general. The only thing I would really be interested in doing is playing games with a few RL friends.
WoW in particular bugged the hell out of me with game balance issues in pvp and with game mechanics that got needlessly complicated. It annoyed me to no end in BC when I couldn't look at a single piece of gear and know at a glance if it was an upgrade or not. I also got sick of classes & talent trees getting reworked every few months. My job requires a lot of attention to detail, and I got really annoyed that trying to keep up with WoW changes required a lot of reading / research outside of playing the game itself. After spending all day finding software bugs at work, the last thing I want to do at home is to read & research stuff for a game I play for fun.
