    That’s the part I always hated. It was hostile towards people who liked the lore but didn’t want to group up with some guy named LaserButt4000 who didn’t want to go to the same dungeon as you, but was happy to get your rare loot in a bad roll of the dice.

    Private servers with scaling for dungeon soloing were a godsend. WoW is actually awesome as a single player game. It’s unfortunate the devs never realized that.

      I disagree. The social aspect was amazing and actually helped me to be more social irl as well. WoW was never meant as a solo game. Sure, sometimes people stole loot and were annoying as fuck, but that’s part of it, just like irl.

        Some people might not want annoying aspects of IRL in their fantasy escapism games involving roleplay…

          Good and they made games just for these people. They are called single player games.

          Call it whatever the fuck you want but this is like bitching that there is no fishing in counter strike.

          MMOs are built specifically to be MULTIPLAYER and to be SOCIAL. Sitting there alone running dungeons solo is the exact opposite of what an MMO is.

          People like you with that mentality is the exact reason games like WoW have turned into dumpster fires and I want nothing to do with you ruining my games.

          Go play a single player game instead.

            Fucked that you’re downvoted

            It’s legit a game meant to be played with other people it’s IN THE NAME OF THE FUCKING GENRE
