Zero I currently play both

The whole wow killer wait for gw2
Is just put out by the some of the more immature players in the community
The same thing has been vomited over and over with every games release

If anything pandas will affect subs in wow
Just my opinion but thatswhen I plan to quit anyway
I feel it's moving away fr what Warcraft is to me

Go figure.


This infatuation some people have of constantly posting to talk about that crap WoW is just plain idiotic.

You have to wonder why the need to constantly talk about that game on this forum.

Been unsubbed since I got the game 2 weeks in. So did 5 other friends that I bought the game for.

I feel like an idiot for buying them a piece of **** for Christmas.

Pandas is the main reason many people quit to begin with. It's more suited for pre-schoolers then adults with their pandas and pokeman battles.

The only players staying and wanting to play pandas are the ones who like that kiddie stuff.

I'm Subbed to WoW annual pass for D3 and to log on and chat with people i know who still play it. I have no intentions of playing the game ever again beyond that.

They had over 1 million Annual pass subs, so I can guarantee that padded the numbers, since their last count was 800,000 lost subs.


Also, While WoW lost 100,000 subs, Swtor gained 1.7 million.

Sup?

Ofcourse TOR won't. Bioware didn't really do anything different from WoW and they couldn't even get stuff that we'd expect like smooth combat, good UI amond other things. It's why MMO's like Tera, Guild Wars 2 and Archeage are appealing because they are trying something different.

Tera has it's real time combat system, political system and not really sure what else.
Guild Wars 2 is doing away with the trinity system, has RvRvR (WvWvW w/e you call it) with no player caps for 2 weeks on huge maps, content scaling, dynamic combat, dynamic events and all on a smooth engine (I assume) with gorgeous graphics
Archeage has a deep crafting system (from what I have seen), territory control, housing and on the Cryengine.


Most likely no one MMO will kill WoW especially if it's just gonna be the same loot grind which TOR is currently. Not only are three MMO's I named trying to do something different they are also graphically gorgeous which will obviously draw in some people. While Bioware is trying to lure people with their story it's basically the same exact thing as WoW. I quit WoW back in Feburary and TOR doesn't offer anything different for me. If Bioware hasn't added or changed anything by the time GW2 has launched I will be gone and I assume others will be too.

And you base this on what? I remember playing as the Panderan Brewmaster in Warcraft III and it was fun and not tied to the main campaign. I know there must be other players who like them and Blizzard said that they are one of the more requested races if thats true or not I don't know but you can't say Panderans were just pulled out of their ***.

Besides Pandas > Gungans (which will make it in an expansion one day!)

Um isnt it obvious, off course December will be a good month since most people will still be subbed to WoW. If they change to SWTOR it would likely be in Januari...

Unless you know every single player statements like that are yours not theirs. Remember 90% of forums are the haters of an game. Majority of people never even look at a games forums. Only reason I do it was a SysOP for years.
Where did I mention anything about forums. If I didnt say it then dont think I did.
If this game is so great then why do so many people that love the game spend all their time in the forums?
