Worst MMORPG ever!

» Pros

None.

» Cons

World of Warcraft is one of the worst MMORPGs I have ever played. After a huge time since it has been release there are still inumerous bugs to be fixed in the game, to name just a few it's possible for example to shoot (or be shot) with several spells through mountains and other obstacles, sometimes monsters will follow you to certain places in which they'll get stuck and evade-bug all of your attacks, several places where your character gets stuck, etc. Although the game has several realms from where to choose, those that actually have a decent population in order to do endgame events suffer from serious performance issues with insane lag spikes, login servers going down (therefore making you enable to login for several hours) and ridiculously big queues (500+ people / sometimes 40-50 minutes of waiting). Blizzard, instead of trying to solve a seriously screwed up MMORPG just keeps developing more, and more content, which adds to the servers\\\' instability putting extra pressure on their backbone in an attempt to keep players addicted which actually spend most of their time complaining about being wasting their money on a game which is riddled with flaws. Sometimes certain issues get so unbearable that you feel the need to contact a GM, therefore you write them a ticket with your complaint. Blizzard's game support consists on bombing the ticket senders with automated responses fit to the determined category you're complaining about, the first few times you get the ilusion that they actually care about you're complaining about but after getting the same answers over and over again you just realize they don't give a damn. Every once in a while, if you write enough of these tickets you'll get a GM whispering you personally, they're always very polite but the conversation will prove to be just as pointless as the ticket exchange, nothing will get solved, you'll just get the illusion that it may happen in the near future. As for the game itself it's ridiculously easy and gets boring very quickly. Even though the world map is huge you'll find out that most of these areas are useless as you'll be leveling your characters always on the same few areas, you get almost no penalty from dying so you won't really care if that happens, you just have to walk a short distance to your body and ressurect. Once you get to level 60 you can't do anything by your own, you have to be lucky enough to find a spot on a guild which is competent enough not to wipe everytime you try a boss on Molten Core (the major endgame instance). You'll find yourself in a group of 40 people where individual skill doesn't count at all, you'll get a minor role on a dungeon which is boring and repetitive, with bosses scattered here and there and a total absence of creativity and storyline (in fact most of the bosses are only bigger replicas of enemies you'll fight earlier in the game). All in all World of Warcraft is just not worth it, you're better off saving your money and investing it on some other game. I'll leave you with the latest of Blizzard's screw ups posted by a player at a gaming forum:

"Heres the skinny: Blizzard adds in a new instance, Zul'Gurub. Inside is the god of blood, Hakkar. Well, when you fight him he has a debuff called Corrputed Blood. It does like 250-350 damage to palyers and affects nearby players. The amazing thing is SOME PLAYERS have brought this disease (and it is a disease) back to the towns, outside of the instance. It starts spreading amongst the genral population including npcs, who can out generate the damage. Some servers have gotten so bad that you can't go into the major cities without getting the plague (and anyone less than like level 50 nearly immediately die).

GM's even tried quarantining players in certain areas, but the players kept escaping the quarentine and infect other players."
