I got my Warlock to 100 a few days before that.<br \/>\nFor my final thoughts, it seems Blizzard has changed some things behind the scenes to both make my leveling, easier.. and also more annoying. And it also seems, having an ilvl 600\/166k health isn&#8217;t &#8220;my set values&#8221; anymore when hitting 100.<\/p>\n<p>First, what made leveling a bit easier. It seems they&#8217;ve increased the drop rate of those fucking annoying oily oozes in southern Spires of Arak. Before, they would drop after 3rd of 4th kill. Now, they drop on every kill. It makes doing that area.. less hated (in my opinion). I thank Blizzard for doing that.<\/p>\n<p>And what makes it annoying, I choose the Siege Engine for my Warlock in Nagrand. I was able to do the same things I did back in the WoD Beta, and then some (which is go in interiors).<br \/>\nOn the Horde side&#8230; either they did a &#8216;sudden fix&#8217;, or this doesn&#8217;t work on the Horde side. Chose the War Machine(when before during the WoD Beta, I chose the Riding Wolf for Beefhunter). I was doing the series of quests in Sabron crag area. I went in an area using the War Machine, and then suddenly I get thrown out of it for no reason, yet I get the 10 minute cooldown as if the machine was destroyed.<br \/>\nWhat the fuck&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>And it happened again and again. Again, forced to wait 10 minutes due to entering an interior. All it did was just make me not want to play WoW even more.<br \/>\nIt&#8217;s like the dismount thing of when you enter an interior, except with at least dismounting, you don&#8217;t have to wait 10 minutes to remount.<\/p>\n<p>.<br \/>\nNow to the thing about health values and gear at Level 100, My Warlock hit over 200k health at 100, yet has a 512 ilvl. My Tauren Hunter, has hit 185k health, yet has a 563 ilvl.<br \/>\nThis is &#8220;bad&#8221;(that is if I actually cared), as you need a high ilvl to do dungeons and raids. Why did they make these changes? To extend the grinding even further? I think this proves either our requests are getting ignored, or overdone.<\/p>\n<p>.<br \/>\nWell&#8230; whatever. I&#8217;m done with that mess. Because in Guild Wars 2, they DO care about their community, and they DO care about making their game fun! This is the beauty of F2P games that actually do it right, by not throwing micro-transations or annoying ads in your face.<br \/>\nI don&#8217;t want to grind. They don&#8217;t <em>want<\/em> you to grind. They listen. They want to be separate from other MMOs.<\/p>\n<p>So yeah. This is my &#8220;Goodbye WoW&#8221; post. I&#8217;m not even going to bother with Patch 6.1. Screw it. Just the thought of having a Selfie Camera system in an MMORPG, sends me into a rage.<br \/>\nNext post will be what I&#8217;ve learned from Guild Wars 2, the sensible, grind-free MMO. With no time-traveling BS, and no useless Garrison\/followers. Stay tuned.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I just got Beefhunter to 100 about 15 minutes ago (the time that I typed this). I got my Warlock to 100 a few days before that.
