I canceled my account the other week and pre-ordered Rift and signed up for their Beta.

Got my druid and mage to 85 but didn't even bother with my other 3 80s (Sham, Rogue, Warlock). The WoW community is horrible now. Too many elitist players who act like complete assholes in heroics and on the forums. The new dungeons/heroics are way too long. They're almost like mini-raids. Not to mention the fact that as DPS is takes anywhere from 35 - 50 minutes to queue. And if you wind up in a group that sucks you've pretty much just wasted your time because people are either going to bail or you just won't finish. Last time I was on before I canceled I waited 48 minutes to queue into a dungeon in the Lost City that was already in progress. The group wiped on the 2nd pull after I arrived and then the tank bailed followed by another DPS. So it was pretty much an hour down the drain for nothing.

I consider myself a casual player. I liked when I could pop on WoW run a dungeon or 2 in 30 - 40 minutes and go on my way. Now if you want to run a dungeon and you aren't a tank you need to set aside at least an 1 1/2 - 2 hours for one dungeon run and even then you're most likely not going to get any good drops and that's if your group even makes it to the end. Another annoyance is there are too many bosses that have 1 shot moves. So you can pretty much be doing everything right but if one group member makes one small mistake at the wrong time it can wipe the entire group. Some boss fights just come down to lucky timing which is stupid. Tanking and healing are MUCH more difficult now as well (not completely a bad thing), but now there are a lot of people who simply won't do either anymore. Which has also contributed to the ridiculous queue times for DPS (and heal times aren't much better).

A lot of the more hardcore players like the new expansion because many of them thought that WOTLK was too easy. The content isn't necessarily bad but the reward system is horrible for the time you have to invest . It would take months to gear up a single character the way things are going now. The new Tol Borad area is beyond stupid, if you're on offense it's almost impossible to win but I think Blizz changed it in the last patch somehow. I know a lot of people who are also just canceling their accounts.

As far as I'm concerned Blizz dropped the ball big time with this expansion. I might check back in 3 - 6 months but I think I'm done with WoW.

Cata is full of win.

85 Mage on EU servers & a 80 lock

85 Paladin on US servers & 75 Priest

I love the new content. It's nice and challenging. However i feel once geared it can be a faceroll.

Personally i didn't like rift so i'm staying with wow... For probably another year or so.

What are the asian severs like?
