Its totally true, dont get me wrong some people are extremely good at the game. but thats only like 5% of the player base. I played it for years too.

Im not saying I was the best at it. But it seemed extremely easy to me. Atleast now. Back in the day when the game first came out it was a little different

1-- Check my post again i edited it

2-- you are talking about 6% (probably less) of the wow population that are really competitive in the arena system, and even then its just hiding behind stuff while your big moves are done with their cooldown

Oh, okay. Your first line made me think you were being sarcastic.

The majority of people who play WoW appear to pay money to die, this is true. But it's stupid to say the game takes no skill at any level, or that anyone who plays it sucks at other games (this is more so directed @ the other guy).

I do however agree that people are more likely to leave a shooter they completely suck at than an mmo they completely suck at.

And shooters are just pointing your mouse at the enemy and clicking. I used to think the same about WoW arena, until I could barely break 2k back in the day. Shit's hard.

I'm going to stop arguing now, so we don't go off topic. Even though the topic at hand is pretty much dead.

so if there was an shooter that was also an MMO, what would they do?

Anyways WoW is different. I really think anyone if they tried could be good at that game.

Practice using your GCDs in the most efficient manner, and learn to beat the same comps over and over in arena. maybe some Line of sight..gg.

Im not a high level arena player by any means. I used to like WoWs PVP but over the years it really has turned me off.

yea this is kinda way off topic. lol

fun tho

Well, even if you completely suck at PVE or PVP in WoW there's still lots of stuff you could do (achievements, playing the auction house, farming professions, etc) if you really wanted to play with your friends. If you suck at combat in an MMOFPS there's really not that much to do.

I really hate PVP in wow its just so... preplaned. They do this, I do this. Its like a state machine of thouands of counters and CCs and stuff. I prefer wild unexpected crap like shooters.

WoW is totally skilled for those who can play though, love watching some Rated BGs.

I like playing arena, but I can't stand to watch it.
I like watching Starcraft, but I can't stand to play it.

Magnets, how do they work?
