What is your Breaking Point?

fail_20at_20failingIf you are like me, you like to look over the official World of Warcraft Forums from time to time. If you were to believe the amount of QQ that goes on in there; the game is borked and there  is no hope. None. If the stupid devs would stop nerfing my class, then everything would be okay.

Here is a good post:

Hello,

I am a rogue and I cannot kill shamans in three seconds like every other healing class, so I am going to QQ and spam my class forums about how OP shamans are when in reality I cant play my class woth a #*@*.

That is all.

/signed rogues
(Yes I really have a rogue. learn to play your god damn class and stop QQing. We’ve been top of pvp for 5 god damn years.)

We all know that there is a large amount of trolling and utter nonsense that goes up on the forums, but to an extent I feel that for the most part, people do feel very passionately about the game, and when they post something about their class, right or wrong, it is a really big deal! The only thing that would make this post perfect is if the OP said, “If you don’t fix my rogue, then I am going to cancel my subscription.”

What if you had a situation where you have a rogue at level 70 and play mostly BGs. Wrath comes out. Suddenly, your 35 ms lag jumps to 2,500 ms and your frame rate plummets from 35 fps to almost 12 fps on a good day. There is nothing that you can do about the situation. Would you still play WoW?

When I moved in with my wife, my PC broke and and I play on my laptop 100% of the time. I lost my DSL. There is no cable way out in the woods where I live. I am even too far from a cell tower for my aircard to pick up a 3G signal. Guess what? I still play, but I can’t play in the BGs or raid, because when I do, I lag out.

So what would be your breaking point? Do you even have one? What situation or nerf would be the final straw to force you to put the game down forever? Can you think of one, or will you tough out anything to see the bitter end?

    I would have to say that my breaking point might be this next patch or it might be the next expansion. I run a fairly old computer and the lag keeps me in the same situation. I loved battlegrounds pre-lich but now when I run anything on my high level characters I am unable to even target other players before I die. I stopped doing bgs and for the most part my guild is low-progression rate so I miss out on more content than I would like.

    You have my sympathy and agreement on this one. Gotta love that 1-3 fps in Dalaran.

    It is really nice to hear that I am not the only one that has trouble playing WoW. I also wanted to pose another question: Would you play WoW if the price to play went up to $20? Would you play if it was $40 a month?
