I've been an off and on WoW player. I started last year in june, went from level 1-44 on my warlock, then left for about a year because I was getting bored at how long leveling was taking me personally. Yes, coming from RS I was so used to grinding that I found myself grinding on WoW...a lot... Then I discovered the greatness of mods, and quickly found a quest helper mod, and coordinates. Makes things so much easier when I know exactly where to go. Those quest descriptions don't always give an exact direction O_o Well, i left for about..like 6 months or so to play RS again, came back to WoW in late january after summoning failed to hold my attention. I went from 44-70 in maybe...2 weeks or so of casual play, and by the time i left warcraft a second time in early june of this year, I had attained level 375 tailoring, 362 engineering, and pretty much the best gear I could get before going to heroics or beginning Kara. Want to know the biggest problem i had? Anyone I made friends with was always too busy doing whatever they were doing to go into instances, my guild wasn't anywhere near ready to raid Kara, and PVP was getting really, really boring after going through Alterac Valley for the 200th time to get honor points for the pieces of pvp armor that would make my Warlock better. I had maybe 5 friends I talked to daily on WoW, and maybe a few more that i'd talk to occasionally on the guild chat. Now I'm coming from RuneScape, where my members friend list is almost ALWAYS full, I always have people to talk to, and I always have people to do stuff with. Do I hate WoW? No. Infact if i had some more friends on there, and a guild that was Raid ready, MAYBE i'd bother paying out $15 to keep playing it. I'll most likely give it another shot when Wrath of the Lich King comes out.
