Deegrading
WoW is for chumps that can't afford a real MMO or something.
When're we going to start playing L4D/2 again? ]=<

HATERS GONNA HATE
I dunno. >.> If you're right, then WoW would cost less to play online than other MMOs, which would actually make it better.
Though I'm fairly sure most MMOs cost around 12-16 dollars a month.
Most of the time when I see people hate WoW, it's because of how popular it is, which seems to defeat some almighty purpose of geekdom to be non-mainstream. :/ And that a whole lot of MMOs after it are using it as a model since it set all these bars.
But I don't know. People are entitled to how they feel.
@Moxie: The game isn't that hard to solo in certain cases, and you're always bound to find someone able to help you with a few quests. Not to mention the random dungeon feature makes getting new gear a piece of cake.
