Do you regret all the time you wasted playing WoW?

why?

No.

I regret that I never got to say goodbye to various friends from WoW who died over the years.

No. I'm still playing.

Not one moment. For I would have never known what a TRUE Masterpiece was and what true trash is.

No, it helped me cope during a period of several years where my father’s physical and emotional abuse became harrowing. I also feel like the habits of efficency I fell into playing it helped me once I had to get my shit together.

You hated a game based on a privately hosted, broken copy of it while playing it with a friend and a horrible girl who ruined the whole experience and you think it's the game that's autistic?

I still didn't like the gameplay, the disgusting dreamworks aesthetic, or really anything about the game in general. That was just the icing on the cake.

Hell no, best time of my life literally. Real life sucks dick. Can't wait to finally go back home.

>liked Legion
>was too much of a pussy as a kid to ask for like 14 bucks
Faggot beta, sorry man
Damn

I regret all the thousand of hours I spent playing vidya, not only wow.

>What did they give me ? Oh I accomplished all these stories, I've seen a thousand worlds, I've lived a thousand lives.. Bullshite, on look youtube, oh look a walkthrough, oh look I lived all of those too user, lmao, you didn't waste your youth playing all these shitty games don't you, user? user? What's Dota 2? user why does it says 5000 hours played? user? What are all of these plastic cases with discs? Lmao, who uses discs ? What? You wasted thousands of dollars in Vidya?

>user, are you alright?

MMOs clearly aren't for everyone.

i only regret the time i stoped playing wow and got myself brainfucked in real life.

Classic to WoTLK - No
Afterward yes.

Nope. I don't. It's been wonderful.

Nah. I met a lot of unique and interesting people in WoW over the years some of which I still keep in touch with today. Can't say my time in MMOs was a huge waste either because I ended up learning to type very quickly at a young age a skill which is useful everyday at my job.

This. If anything I wish WoW still was an amazing game. Could really use a game to get addicted in at the moment.

This.
Burning crusade was one of the best gaming experiences I ever had. From kharazhan runs to grinding out epic flying, all of it was perfect.

Only the brief time spent on Cataclysm. Then for the dumb fucking idea cong back to BFA as if it were old Wow. It wasn't and it sucked shit.

Yes. I should've played more City of Heroes while I still had the chance instead.

You sound like a massive faggot that cares too much what other people think. And playing videogame is completely different from watching a walkthrough on youtoob.

no, although i quitted during mop

Every single miserable faggot on Yea Forums always admits to playing Dota 2. I'm not sure if there's a correlation or not.

I regret coming back every expansion only to quit a month later.

It's poison brother, only mentally ill people play it, you take it from there.

no, i didnt have friends in high school and it was really nice to go home and log into WoW and have a ton of friends who were always glad i came online

Nah, i didn't spend THAT much time on it, relatively speaking. I have my regrets but none are Vidya related.

are you still in? i stopped by the time mop was nearing its end and havent resubbed since.

>Do you regret all the time you wasted playing WoW?
Yes
I don't regret all the gamer thots I hooked up with tho. WOTLK was primo hookup time at conventions and the like.

No. The hype around BFA was lackluster enough for me to not be suckered in.

The Netherwing flying rep was actually enjoyable to grind. I loved egg hunting and fighting as the blood orc or whatever they were.

The racing quests were janky as shit but still amazingly fun.
And finding a fucking egg was like winning the lottery

Only because I decided to check it out right before BfA. What a terrible fucking decision that was.

I don't regret anything I enjoy

are going to play classic?

Played a bit on and off since Wrath. Got in it seriously closer to the end of Legion, quite enjoyed the game and hoped it'd be more in the coming expansion.

So that didn't turn out too great.

Hell yeah! I don't even like wow that much, but I go where the hype is. I'm going to play a male gnome mage and pick every flower I see.

Not a second

I was a complete newbie. But yeah, I was actually enjoying Legion. Admittedly, partly because I got to bypass all the grinding for the Artifact Weapons and shit, but still. Game was decent.

Amazing the same devs shit the bed so spectacularly.

No.

I don't know. I started with BC and played until WoD. Enjoyed the game at the time but looking back it all feels like a waste. Wish it didn't go down the path it did...

nice dude same here. havent played the game in some 5 years. i think it'll feel pretty refreshing

Exactly. By coming into the end of the expansion we got to see most of all the positives while dodging all the grindy parts of it. Expansion was basically as good as it was gonna get and I even got to enjoy going through all the previous expansions and taking my time in all of them, as much as I could anyways. BFA feels what I imagine Legion's start was like except it's somehow way worse.

I don't think I do. In middle/highschool I had two different groups of friends, my """""nerd"""" friends who played WoW, and my skater friends that lived in my neighborhood. Some of my best memories of those years is stuff I did in WoW with that group of friends. After highschool when they stopped playing WoW, I started playing private servers with /wpsg/ (WoW private server general) in 2013, and while that place has been a dumpster fire Nostalrius came out, I met a lot of great friends who I talk to every day through /wpsg/

All that being said, I'd like to say "Yea I regret playing WoW instead of going out and fucking bitches xD" but frankly considering my personality and anxiety and shit, I wouldn't have done any of that anyway.

Time enjoyed is not time wasted.
And beyond that, wow during vanilla-wrath was a heavenly experience.
If someone didn't experienced that I would actually say their quality of life is much worse.
wrath was kinda eh by then, tbc is better in memory but vanilla was magical.
Played it a gain on a private server just as before and it was just as good, I can STILL remember guilds and personalities from my realm
Devs captured lightning in a bottle

Mmm. You're right, that is true.

>I can STILL remember guilds and personalities from my realm
I played on Kirin Tor during TBC, a low pop RP realm (because my friends happened to randomly pick that while starting not knowing anything about the realm types). I still remember how there were only two Horde guilds that did anything at all in T6, and . Neither of them ever downed Illidan and, from what I recall, weren't even 7/9. Alliance was ok, I remember the top Alliance guild was or something like that, and they were at least doing SWP progression.
I was in one of the "better" Horde guilds, but all that meant was that we attempted T5 and had Mag and Gruul on farm.
I remember SWP trash groups being a server wide effort. There was only one tank, the MT of , Daves who would or could tank SWP trash (I'm sure but they played late at night/early morning). They needed any mages they could get just for the sheeps, because there weren't enough to turn down one in leveling greens.
Like I said in , some of my best and most memorable memories from those years are from WoW.

I honestly do. I didn't quit when I didn't like cataclysm. I didn't quit when MoP took a year longer than it needed to to end. I didn't quit over 100 little insults to my sense of what makes a game worth playing. When I finally quit because WoD was unbearable, I resented all the time I had spent on this pointless shit I never unironically liked.

No. Still have a group of cool friends + my best friend IRL from playing WoW together for like, 10 years. We don't play WoW anymore but play other things and shit.
It also helped keep my mind off things after my parents died and I ended up hooking up with a qt California girl who played a DK.

Bought WoW on launch day in 2004 and quit in wotlk
For about 6 years, my life was basically:
-work 8 hours
-wow 8 hours
-sleep 8 hours
And on weekend I would play 12+ hours a day. I honestly regret it very much, I lost most of my friends during that period and didn't grow at all as a person because all I cared about was play wow as I was absolutely addicted. Never going back

i will never regret the time i spent while

WoW wasnt my first mmo. While I wish I coulda spent all the days i have /played in wow into something better, if i didnt put them into wow i would have put them into like eve or ffxiv or warhammer online or any of the other random mmos i tried. I think i speak for most serious mmo players that even if it wasnt wow i'd have just been playing another mmo or game for all that time.

i regret playing anything past wrath. the beginning of cata was fun when it was actually hard to do heroic dungeons

Yes.

All the days poured into this game in the TBC-Wotlk era scares me, but at the same time it was truly a great game back then. I miss the buddies and stuff we did together, we mostly don't keep in touch anymore, except with one dude.

I regret nothing, I consider myself lucky due to the fact that my life was not completely engulfed by the game and that I managed to somehow get my shit together.

My brother said it makes him want to cry when he thinks about all the time he wasted playing wow.
It helped me cope with being sick as fuck and suicidal so idk. I might be better off if i didnt play vidya or i might have jumped off a cliff to my death by now.

I regret that my friend dragged me back in for BFA in January and I played for 3 months trying to find that feeling again. Nothing more than a glorified classic waiting room.

I regret all the time I'm having to wait until Classic.

>days and days on end
>formative years

I really wish I put some time into math classes, instead I'm a boomer taking remedial math classes now.

Otherwise, not really, insane parents (homeless now) forced me to cope with WoW.

Yeah.

Was anyone else able to just play it normally and not get obsessed with it? I have nothing but fond memories of WoW.

Soon bros....

....Soon

You can quickly transition from playing it normally to exclusively spending your entire day ingame, it was addictive like that, at least for me.
Fortunately I got my shit together soon enough, Cata being a very mediocre expansion helped too since all the buddies quit, and so did I.

I met some of the best people and my best friends from video games. In fact me and 6 other people do snail mail letters to each other and we all send each other presents and gifts on our birthdays and Christmas too. We live on all sides of the earth and I honestly consider them the closest friends I ever have. I've meet a few of them IRL and they where just as amazing.

Imagine falling for a green nigger who convinced you to kill your father who recognized the threat in 'misunderstood' savages.

>get random flashbacks of stuff you've done in WoW more than 10 years ago
>it happens during work, walking outside, pretty much in every situation of everyday life

I can't be the only one?

happens to me all the time. I still remember people who ganked me 13 years later.

not really since i quit early (around WOTLK).

Yes and I only spent like 20h in total

Have 0 hours feelsgoodman

I sometimes think about what i would make IF i could make one dream game and i think of an MMO i wish i could play but i feel as though it would be morally wrong to waste peoples life like that because to be honest MMOs suck peoples lives up and are kinda shit.

Nope. I still remember when me and my best friend wandered around stonetalon mountains with only tomes equipped in our offhands slapping low level orc players with our books for 1 damage

>dreamworks aesthetics
Confirmed for never having played it

>the disgusting dreamworks aesthetic
Vanilla WoW has some of the best, most timeless visuals of any video game.

>level 23
>tfw chased around by an asshole lvl50 paladin who kept killing me
The salt remains int eh wound, user

I regret the time spent on nuwow (3.0+) but not back when it was still good.

I remember when I played Vanilla WoW, I was on a hand-me-down computer, one that was super outdated even by 2004 standards.

Internal graphics card was so bad, the terrain had this weird glitch where you could visibly see square 'tiles' of ground texture, which were swapped erratically in places, creating a 'checkerboard' look. It was only midway into Burning Crusade that I learned that I was trying to play the game with a fraction of the GPU power needed to play it, and it was only then did an update make it so I actually had to upgrade. Until then, it was buttery smooth 8 fps for a couple years. I wish I still had pictures, but that was like, 4 computers ago.

No, in fact I regret all the hours I spent going to nightclubs when I was a teen to mid 20's, I always hated doing it but only did it because society and my friends forced me to. I wish I could go back and sit at home playing wow instead, which is all I ever really wanted to do.
Moral of the story is don't waste your youth doing shit you don't wanna do. If wow makes you happy then play until your hearts content and you won't have wasted a moment.

>11 years ago is "nu"
at least you openly admit you're a fucking retard

Are you me?

I’ve had a flashback of me flying back to Shattrath over terrokar forest before checking the lower city rep vendor and mousing over the purple available at exalted

It’s so god damn specific and it’ll randomly pop into my head with enough frequency that I’ve talked to my shrink about it.

>tfw classic will finally kill retail

i remember my first character, a dwarven hunter. I didnt understand i needed bullets so i kept fighting melee and died to mobs, eventually i gave up and explored all the way from dun morogh to the wetlands by foot at lvl 8. I was in awe of ironforge and the statues in the valley of kings.

No, because I had a good time, had good experiences and made lots of friends on there. I don't play it anymore because quite frankly FFXIV is just better and the blizzard team is no longer what it used to be, but that doesn't mean I regret playing WoW when it was fun.

>need to be subbed to retail to play classic

warcraft aesthetic is ripoff of warhammer, and warhammer is worst 80s disco cryptohomo kitsch mullet macho americana bullshit. it's definition of degenerate posteuropean trash which is what america is, taking influence from real ancient civilizations and twisting it to their deranged obese shart tv "cool" culture. it got even worse with warcraft because blizzard squeezed in final fantasy ripoff aesthetic with faggot colors all over the place, oversized, impractical weaponry, armory, and what wet dreams of hikikomori are made of.

>Listen to Metallica: Death Magnetic

Not really, it kept me from killing myself.

I actually still have that picture in my inventory

No. I had a lot of fun
Plus i was

Not at all, the guilds I were in were all full of chill people and I had a ton of fun playing with them. Hell I'd still be playing if Battle for Azeroth wasn't such a terrible expansion.

nah, i only joined during legion. i wanna get back into it, too, but bfa seems like hot garbage on all fronts. guess i could go erp or some shit, lmao

yes, I fucking that cunt game and that cunt company. Dirty fucking thieves

Is this pasta

>releasing the same game twice is ok when blizzard does it

I got the album when Wotlk released and listened to it when questing through borean tundra

Only after wotlk with MoP being exception because pandaria and having your own farm was comfy and monks were okay

Everything after WotLK. WoW felt finished there. Cata was beginning of the end and felt tacked on. MoP was when I quit without regrets knowing it was never going to recover.

It's one of the main reasons I dropped out of school, so yes, it pretty much ruined my life.

Attached: 1541908815354.png (384x390, 153K)

Finding a normal female Draenei is like finding a unicorn at this point, it's sad.

Nope, it helped me break my anxiety about talking to new people. Or at least until the end of Wrath when it appealed to NEET incel shut-ins with LFG. The moment Blizzard pandered to them was the moment WoW communities died.

Wouldn't it be the opposite? Non-LFG appealing to shut ins while LFG appeals to normies. Not defending LFG btw, I hate it

Yeah, that one time I logged in after end of wrath was really terrible.

Not at all as without either of those auto-group game apps. It required you to seek out players, groups, and form bonds and prove your worth to be added in a friend's list to be called upon later. Also means you did not act like an asshat, not ninja loot, nor be incompetent. You can just drop anyone from the group now, and be replaced in seconds without any headaches, or effort from either party.

The World of ths game itself was my go -to route for esapism.
It is my favourite fantasy world and I am glad I was able to experience in this way.
The moments I spent in some of those locations will always remain in my memory.

Out of the 1+ year worth of /played in WoW, I've enjoyed at least 70-80% of my time. Compare that to the equal amount of time spent in mobas and competitive shooters where I might've enjoyed 10-20%.

I regret everything about my life so yes.

Reminiscing, I think playing WoW is the only good memory I have from my life.

no
tons of fun were had

I lost my virginity and learned how to organize and lead a group of 25/60 people so no.

This. I also forced myself to play on an english server instead of one with people speaking my language. I became so goddamn Wellen at speaking english in high school, never had to study for shit.
I literally learned to speak english through playing wow which helped me alot throughout my life. Still does

Certainly not, I do however regret leveling my warlock from 70 to 80 only for the fatigue leftover from Sunwell to kill the remainders of the guild I was in. A 70 in Sunwell gear looks better on a character sheet than an 80 in Sunwell gear

Yes and no. On one hand, my years in Azeroth were the happiest times of my life. I loved every single minute of it. When I sat down in front of my computer, I was truly happy. Whenever I wasn't playing it, I was still thinking about it. In school, I would daydream of the adventures I'd be having when I get home. On the way home, I would be singing about how the one and only World of Warcraft was waiting for me. When my parents forced me to go on holidays with them, I'd do nothing but reread those Warcraft books for the millionth time and stare at the Azeroth map and imagine myself being there. On the other hand, it has ruined my life. I used to be a straight a+ student, but when I started playing, I was glad when I could just get a passing mark. I couldn't give a damn. I've been suffering the consequences ever since. Then, I can hardly ever enjoy videogames anymore. Sometimes I enjoy a few good platformers, and thats about it. Before WoW, I could get some enjoyment out of the worst videogames on the planet, but nothing satisfies me after WoW. Everything just feels pointless, I just don't get excited about controlling some virtual character in some pointless virtual world. It has also ruined me mentally forever. I can't get passionate about anything anymore. Everything just feels bland and empty.
There's this weird thing, like every few months, I get these flashbacks, for a blink of an eye, when I feel complete again, I have that same feeling that I used to feel all the time many years ago, I feel like I'm back in Elwynn Forest or Westfall or Hillsbrad or Scarlet Monastery or Ironforge, I can even hear the music and feel the colors and God did I try fucking everything over the years to replicate this feeling, but nothing works. Not even classic WoW. Dungeon finder ruined retail WoW for me, cataclysm obliterated the rest of my realm and the years after that burned me out of the game completely. I don't think I'll ever be happy in my life ever again.

Played for over 4k hours between 2007 and 2010 and I completely regret it. Only graduated from high school on time because of some funny business that I won't get into.

I don't regret a second of BC/WotLK. Cata was a lot of fun too. Quit at legion, didn't even bother buying it because immersion and classes were butchered beyond recognition. What they have done with their game is truly awful.

No.
no other game gave me the same joy.

No, I've met people I still keep in touch with that I've raided with 10 years ago, I have lots of screenshots and fond memories. Gathering 20+ other like minded people and killing a hard boss is something no other genre can recreate

I really only regret buying BfA. I’ve gotten my fun from the game, no matter if I play it casually or go hardcore for a few months, but BfA was just painfull.

Not entirely. I’ve played off and on since right before BC. Met a lot of people through the early years of WoW and have even met up with BNet friends outside of the game. Wrath was probably the most fun i’d had out of all of it. Not necessarily because of the game itself, but because of the experiences I had. My only regret is falling off the wagon around Mists and drifting away from friends ingame. I didn’t really enjoy it so I took a break. Came back on the latter end of Warlords.

>they're the most attractive females in the fucking game

Wrong.
