All these sounds of people quitting made me quite sad frankly. So I thought I'd post a thread giving you a few reasons why you shouldn't. The new patch brings about a lot of changes to the game. And although things might seem imbalanced now, they might change with the future parts of the patch. So quitting already without seeing the entire patch would be assessing the situation too quickly.
Now then, something about me, I'm a moderate casher in his 50s. I buy VIP because I hate waiting for cooldowns and I bought a mount and some clothes. Now that I have those à don't plan on buying much more. I can see how non cashers are struggling with the starting rage from clothes but you can't expect to be a non casher and compete on the same lvl as cashers. If it was that way, there wouldn't be any cashers and without them there wouldn't be a game. With that said, a non casher's best way to beat a casher is simply by outlvling him. To get ahead in this game, time is required. By dedicating a lot of time to the game, you will get your lvls and your gold to improve yourself. Ofcourse you will run into new cashers in the BG but you have to remember BG's are a playground to cashers. It's a place for cashers to show off their stuff. This will always be the case, it was before the patch and still is after the patch. Well, I guess my advice to all you non-cashers thinking of quitting is: don't get frustrated about not being able to compete with the cashers on your server, just improve as much as you can and eventually you will find, the gap between casher and non-casher will get closer.
That brings me to the next subject of discussion. A lot of cashers thinking of quitting because of the prices of the stuff in the game. The most heard opinion on this is: Ã*t's too expensive and the gains are too little. First off I want to say, no one is pressuring you into buying anything, so sure not EVERYTHING. If you want to buy everything, that's your right but if you are a moderate casher like me few things suffice to compete. I agree some of the stuff sold is too expensive for what gain they give. The solution for this is simple, don't buy it, if you don't like it.
Alright and now the BG. The thing that leaves many cashers disillusioned nowadays. I actually feel the BG's up till lvl 59 are quite fair. They don't vary that much from the pre patch BG. But important to note is that many more players are entering the battlegrounds everyday now, in the sense that it's not just your own server in there. Therefore the scale of playing characters is much broader so the difficulty of a BG might vary a bit more. If you're unlucky, you join a BG full of aggressive old server behemoths, if you're lucky you join a BG full of new server cannon fodder. I'm in s111 and I feel like new server cannon fodder sometimes but I can imagine for newer servers this happens even more. To those players I say stick with it, these lvls pass quick and you will compete with other lvl 50s in no time.
The last thing I want to talk about is something I know the least about: lvl60+ BG. Because of the lack of content many players lvl 69 decided to stay there and lvl up their talents. For the young players just reaching 60 and entering the lvl60-69 battlegrounds it's hard, no doubt about that. A lot of honor loss, frustration and getting stunned is accompanied with this BG for those players. If you're one of these players, I don't know what to tell you to prevent you from quitting except that I hope it gets better in the future. I fear for it as well since I'm nearing 60 too.
But still it wouldn't be a reason for me to quit and I'll tell you why. I'm in a very nice guild with a lot of awesome people that I spent quite a few hours each day with so I wouldn't want to let those guys down. Another reason is I've put money into this game and that's worth something to me as well. Why spend money on a game, if you're gonna quit as soon as it becomes a challenge? You can't expect to buy a win, you have to earn it by dedicating your time and some money to it. But most important reason I'm not thinking of quitting is because this is a game and getting frustrated about it and ragequitting seems like overreacting to me. My message to all of you thinking of quitting is: don't take it so serious, focus on your own character, improve it, level it, cherish it. Don't abandon it just like that!
