I am considering subscribing for a month to understand what all the fuss is about. Apparently, if you haven't played WOW like me, it is a gamer sin beyond measure. Tell me, what makes it so special, and why I would want to play it, I need to understand.

I play wow of and on and enjoy it in spurts. I used to play it hardcore to be the best of the best but found that to be silly and futile. The person who puts in the most hours becomes the best, no skill involved. Its very similar to diablo in that regard. The goal of the game is to grind for gear so you can grind for better gear. Silly. Why I do enjoy playing is for the actual play part. The dungeons and grouping aspects are very enjoyable especially because I like to tank and heal. This is why I play in spurts though. Every couple of years I level up my characters, run the dungeons and have fun, until I reach the point where it requires a lot of commitment: raiding.... Once you get here the game becomes a life suck and you have to commit to be on at certain times to help 24 other people. Fun for some bit not me. They did add a way to raid without this now though which is pretty fun but you don't get the godlike gear, but who cares, all it does is inflate your epenis. The PvP is a complete joke though, zero skill what so ever and is all about who had the best gear. If everyone has equal gear it comes down to what class vs what class like rock paper scissors. If all classes and gear is the same, unlikely, it's just luck.
