Yeah, I just found the WoW atmosphere boring. The hunt for loot is old like Destrox said...especially when it has a 1% chance of dropping and it takes 4 hours for one shot of it, not to mention any other people in the group that want it. WoW is definitely the "best" MMORPG I've ever played...it's the funnest...it has the best combat system...but the atmosphere simply sucks. I hate it. I like EQ-style worlds where the world feels like an actual place instead of levels. The gryphons in WoW ruined the world-experience by teleporting you from level to level instead of having to go across the world. The boats teleporting you is stupid too...the game just feels like a level by level videogame instead of a living, breathing world. EverQuest may be waay too harsh on dying and waay too harsh on leveling up but at least it felt like an actual world. WoW's superb gameplay kept me to almost two 60's...but now I'm realizing that my hatred of the atmosphere makes the game boring to me. Not to mention I REALLY REALLY hate how you can lose your PVP rank (which was basically the only fun I had in the game at 60).
