This makes me and
In all seriousness, WoW is a decent game, probably the most polished MMO out there. Maybe it's too good - people end up playing 12+ hours a day for weeks and then they get sick of it.
I think many people - particularly the PS community - illspeak of WoW simply because they are aware that it affected PS pops in some way, and those who played it are somewhat disillusioned by that massive "downer" feeling you get once you reach level 50ish-60, where quests become rarer and tougher, and group-based PvE/PvP and/or end-game instances/equipment become the only real form of entertainment.
Unlike PS, it's a game of diminishing returns. So much fun at first, but 5 months just to get one item by the end... Planetside is the opposite: terrible K/Ds for new players, but increasingly satisfying for the veteran who can dominate in bases/towers/air.
The debate about the presence of skill is all relative of course - WoW suggests a need to know your template/timings and make decisions based on knowledge embedded in experience.... Planetside requires quick decisions, almost reflexes if you will, seperated from experience, but rather by gut instinct, since anything can go wrong (or right).
Ah well, hope you have fun in WoW Trang, here's to hoping you'll come back to PS in the near future. We miss ya
