I hate that all the best content is when you stop levelling. I would love it if I could play the big raids AND level. For me, levelling is the draw of any RPG, because as you gain new skills you change the way you play and it keeps things fresh. When it just comes down to armour and increasing numbers towards at the end I gradually lose interest. That's why I'm an alt whore.

I would love it if WoW adopted what some of the other MMOs have done and make a 'level up/down' system that equalizes you so you can play with friends at whatever level. Even just doing it for each tier of BGs would be a massive improvement IMO. I think probably the main reason they haven't is that people would freak out about having to have EARNED THE RIGHT to do the high-level stuff, like when the mount level was lowered and fishing was changed.

That's a opinion. The best time for me, content wise as well as having fun, was when I was leveling, not at 80, or 70.

One of those being experiencing level 60 content while not being max level, kikiki

That's basically what I said. It's just that there's so much awesome content you miss out on if you prefer to level.

They tend to assume every player has been there since launch and has done everything at it's intended level and is now bored with it.

And also, the 60 content was "end-game" at one point.

So I take it everyone on Chubbs prefers the PvE aspect of the game? No one talking about ganking cyborers make me feel like I'm an outcast. : (((

I'm PvP oriented. The PvE content makes me puke. Only 60 end game was fun for me.

I make due with what I have.

It is and it isn't. Its based on a game that is and isn't as well. As in, Warcraft games have always had multiplayer options and great "pvp" in that element, but it was built on advancing a story campaign first and foremost. I'd say the same thing about WoW as it was originally concepted and developed to compete with the champion of the time, EverQuest, which was strictly PvE (no, seriously, entirely, as in the PvP was an absolute joke and there was no attempts even made to balance PKing). The PvP game of that exact time was Ultima Online, which if you notice, WoW barely has any elements of while it (in vanilla) began as a more casual version of EQ (note the original long travel times/high level reqs on mounts/massive raid parties/etc).

I enjoy PvP in WoW occasionally, of both the arena and bg variety, but I think I enjoy arena more. Is it frustrating? Yeah, what competitive atmosphere isn't? But I do confess that I greatly enjoy PvE content more in this specific game. I very very very rarely will gank someone, and if I do, its almost exclusively me on another lower level character doing it more for experimental reasons than anything. As far as setting aside a portion of my day just to corpse camp some lowbie (though getting corpse camped on EQ actually took it to an entire new level - your shit was gone completely in 24 hours and you had to run to said corpse completely naked and hope nothing aggro'd as you had to actually zone to drop threat if you did) goes, nah, I'm really not the griefing type. I can kill someone once, maybe twice, but then move along. Whereas if I try to do something that takes a bit of time (like solo a tough elite), the other guy will almost always wait until I finally get like three seconds from completing my goal before jumping in and decimating me, /spit, then wash/rinse/repeat three more times in a row till I finally just move on. Which occasionally now actually has them jump on a character of my own faction to then message me with "u mad bro? lawl noob GET OWNED. u rage and run away?" till I have to block them. I don't consider that actual pvp so much as internet raging.

Just ten years ago these people would be trying to get into clans like Myg0t and would be a complete public disgrace, a total joke amongst most. Now they are a very vocal crowd that almost looks like the majority (until you realize the actual majority never touch the forums or talk in chat - for this exact reason).

I enjoy pvp as well, but it's the story of warcraft that has made me like blizzard since I was a little kid. I like starcraft and diablo, but warcraft 2 made me into the brain servant I am today.

That being said, it's why I mainly pve. Pvp is fun too, but I've always enjoyed seeing the characters from the rts's brought to life.. then slaughtered.
