I don't get to play much these days, so it took me about 3 months. I really love that mount.

ha it was never hard, all u had to do was play for 16 hours a day. Not really something to be proud of :P

HA, i dont really have it, just thought i'd pretend to be cool like that ! (Legionaire )

It was imo the hardest achievement in the game, rediculously hard to get.

Well not really. Its pretty easy to go back to nax now and get undying or immortal. The point is to do it before the curve, when its actually hard and you dont outgear it.

My best achievement was 10 mins ago just before my sub ran out. Deleted all 6 lvl 80 toons, deleted the wow folder. Then randomized my password.

Thats the most retarded thing i've ever read. See you in cataclysm.

its dustaz dont mind him!

but maybe im smarter than you?

I'm most proud of getting server firsts for 18months and being the best PVP team when we weren't raiding.
I don't think I got any ingame badges for it though :E

Not likely

Unless blizz completely overhaul the pve and pvp elements of the game i won't be coming back. I still enjoy reading mmo-champion and talking to mates who still play, but i just got so bored of every element of the game it wasn't worth my time playing.

Another thing I was discussing the other night - PvP vs PvE in spec, and toon readjustments talent/spell wise to compensate for the difference.

Ret got a much needed DPS boost when 3.0 came out, but it got nerfed 'to the ground baby' because it made them too powerful in pvp.

Now consider dual specialisation at the moment. You can save entire talent builds, and glyphs into one spec you just activate. You also can't change spec in battlegrounds, or arena.

When you BG or Arena in a major city, you get flagged for PvP anyway....so.....

Why not have it where you need to activate pvp by activating a completely seperate (and specially designed) new talent tree for pvp. You'd have to load it (cast) by activating pvp, and when you entered the BG/Arena, you'd automatically be set to the PvP talent build - set glyphs and all.

I haven't thought all of it through, but i'm talking about a completely seperate PvP option that can only be used in pvp, and where the normal PvE trees can not be used in PvP.

But then I suppose they'd need to completely revamp the talent trees, but they do that every major expansion, or significant patch anyway.

Why not seperate pve and pvp talents completely so that adjusting individual talents wouldn't have to take into consideration how it would affect both pve and pvp use.

Anti, aren't you the same bumbling twit that didn't have a clue how to play the game last year and sat in beast mastery when 99.99999999% of all hunters were sat in survival.
Even when the forum told you you were wrong you still proceeded to to the opposite

Guess you don't equate to the group of people you need to actually play the game to be decent at it.

SUP?

After over 2 years collecting dust I dusted off my priest lvl 60 alt, and returned to wow. I spent the 1st day riding my Ram all over Hellfire....before realising they now hand out flying mounts at 60........lucky I didnt spend all of 60 onwards on my Ram!

Got a group to do the 2 Hellfire 5 mans too, really enjoyed it.

I spent a month playing Aion, which whet my appetite for MMO's again, but Aion is a sucky grindfest, so i am gonna level my alt priest to 80......and get back in the game!

My mage main raided to Magtheridon when I quit, and briefly resurfaced for a 2 week run from 70-80, but this time....I think I could be back for good.

That's an awfully big step Anti, if a little drastic. What drove you to do that if you don't mind me asking ?

Einstein

fair play anti i salute wot ya did.

Although I dont think I could delete the work i put into my chars. its a lot easier not buying a card and uninstalling for a few months, but deleting all 80s only to have to start again if u decide to try cataclysm?

meh..lil over the top for me!

He can get them all back if he convinces a GM to help him.

Temporary insanity. I think they've seen enough of it before

Fair play to you Anti, I did the same a year and a bit ago and it was the best decision I ever made.
I still get cravings to play it now of course:p

What I don't get is the amount of people who say "Fair play, best thing you can do" like they are an alcoholic or a junkie...

It's not that bad, ffs.

Speaking for myself, it was far worse.
I have dabbled in drugs and alcohol in my time, but my WoW addiction was far more damaging to my health and friendships than either of those. Its only when you step back and see the harm you've done to yourself that you realise how bad it really is.
Sorry about going so OT...

Most people like to have a hobbie of some description. Whether it be watching football or playing WoW, with a countless list of others. Some people will always have a more addictive personality than others, its just the nature of human beings.

If one man spends 30 hours a week watching, playing and training for football - does that mean he is addicted?

I personally have no interest in football. And probably do spend more time than i should playing WoW. But with that said im in full time employment and spend most my spare time with my partner and son. I get enjoyment out of playing WoW and would prolly play alot more if i had the chance.

Anti

Thanks guys, As t-man said its the most addictive thing ive ever come across and ive been in the same boat as him. Just from wow ive lost friend as i completely ignored them. I'd stay in and raid untill 3am on a weekend night instead of going out to socalize. Come straight home from work and play untill 1am or even later some nights. At the height of it i was putting in about 60 hours a week, which looking back was complete madness. All of my free time went into wow.

I do still have a craving to play, but with lfd2 and cod:mw2 around its helping to take the edge off At one point i was considering selling my account, god knows how much i would have made though. And like iceman says, if i do ever want to come back i can get the toons back. Can't see it happening though, as much as i enjoyed the game in the end scrubcraft just got to much for me. Piss easy pve, unbalanced pvp. But i'll see when cataclysm hits, might get a friend to give me a scroll of ressurection to try it out....Then be back in the same boat again.

errr

While i agree with your basic sentiment, I cant help but think this is the guy who didnt know how to play a hunter 6 months.

Armory link to your rogue pls, your hunter fails on the 'im not a scrub' meter..

20 Times 20 Times

Tonight I canceled my subscription , I have to say i sense some relief of some sort. Again i wish to echo the above comments , I too have never encountered anything as addictive.

I do intend to play during the xmas holiday but i need to take the month off to think even about this.

I hate to say it, but if you're raiding until 3am on a weekend, maybe the problem isn't with the game, it's with you. You see, I don't even know how I'd go about raiding until 3am on any night, because as far as my experience goes, it's just not done. Any raiding guild I've been in, we've had set raid times during the week, usually in the evenings around 20:00-00:00 server time (19:00-23:00 here) and not on weekends. Every guild I know of raids this way, never have I seen people raiding into the night like you describe, at least not on my server. Now I raid plenty, but never has it interfered with my social life. and if a guild required me to be raiding weekends then I wouldn't want to be a part of that guild.

If you possibly found a guild that's raiding until 3am at the weekends, then that's a position you're putting yourself in, and that's not the game's fault. That's somewhere you've wanted to be.

Also, I realise the irony of posting this on boards at 3am. Am I boards addict?

It's not an addiction, it's an illness.
