So... People complain about to easy endgame content.

[Mardonge]

As most of you probably have heard, Blizzard released the latest expansion to World of Warcraft on Thursday last week.

It took the first player 27 hours to reach from level 70 to 80 after launch.

The endgame 25man raid content was cleared 68 Hours and 30 minutes after launch.

Don't discount the number of players playing Wow

1. Given enough monkeys on type writers, one of them will eventually rewrite shakespear.

2. There are a LOT of monkey's playing wow (and many of them with FAR more direction than random monkey business)

3. People perservere in video games much more than in real life. Most of these dudes play games like AO or Wow religiously.

Like seriously, I spent more time on Noobastank this year than I did with my work, or my GF. And those wow dudes are crazier than me I'm sure....

Noobas is DO Not underestimate your -ness

On a serious note, you also dont want game play that cannot be achieved in AO terms, things have gotten alot easier with all the new gear & stuff so the old end game scenarios are alot easier.

I must say though that even the difficulty level of New DB, wasnt that hard. I did it with a team of 3 Doc, Crat & Keeper. If you are pretty decently spec-ed & equipped generally any game you play will be achievable.

Wow isn't as much about grinding for exp as AO is though. Since the game doesn't really start until level 70 (now it's probably level 80), having people grind forever would be stupid as the majority would never reach the endgame content like raids and pvp. And since most of the game is about raids and pvp.. well that would be silly.

Wow is about grinding for items. AO is about grinding for level AND items AND titles AND whatnot. Conclusion: AO wins hands down in the grinding contest

lol good point!

the new expansion was released as beta for anyone to register and try out.

the top guilds and players practiced very hard on beta then did it on live. they also made game/technical improvements. they re-wrote most of the instance graphics and gasp game engine..in about 2 months.

the end game content in wow is difficult depending on your ability and the other 24/39 ppl u are with. some ppl will never see end game content, others will have it "on farm".

Mytefe!! u deserted us!!. no. i go see my friend and baby, and watch his 22 year old son play.
He is in a guild that had just started raiding Top end content, before the new expansion. Most of his gear WAS the best at the time( some parts of Tier 6), others in his guild were new and not geared well enough to go to the raids. My friend has been in guild 3 years.

Now everyone can start to get gear to get to the NEW top end content.

so its not "too easy". like everything it takes practice/ patience and grinding.

example, if FC made a new dungeon, Chrisax, Grind, DrH, could prolly walk in there and clear it, cuz they have the best gear/setup/experience. If a team of freshly dinged 220's went in there, they prolly would wipe.

**ooh edit*
they have new thing called "achievements", which i think is vvv good idea. u get points for doing stuff. everything to owning lots of vehicles to completing dungeons. the best ones are "Realm first", or first person on server. so was a race to clear the top end content and reach lvl 80
