Trying WOW as a GW2 player…
Hello, I have been playing GW2 for a while and it’s been GREAT. I decided to try WOW because it’s the holy grail of MMORPGS and I had the idea that if I gave it an honest chance I would love it. I got the free trial and I’m taking it slow but I’m starting to doubt, and here is my main reason.
Questing/Leveling
My experience with WOW so far is that the questing/leveling consists mostly of doing quests in the world, my problem is that I’ve only played for a few hours and it’s just so damn repetitive. WOW quest is “kill 5 spiders” okay now your done, next quest: “kill 10 spiders”, next quest, “kill 5 gnolls”, and it just KEEPS REPEATING, and that’s just it. I can’t stand it.
In GW2 if I want to level up I just open my map, go and play a mini-game on the map, go and explore all the points of interest on the map, find hidden collectibles on the map, come across 5 players defending a stronghold on the map and jump in and help with the fight, find bounty’s and hunt them down, ect
Is the quest formula in WOW strictly this way? Do the quests get better? Am I missing something? I’m not gonna play WOW if it’s just “kill 5 spiders” complete quest and repeat for 100 hours simulator.
I want to like WOW, please help me out!
