World of Warcraft: Mist of Pandaria $20 Amazon FS with Prime

I haven't played this since wrath of the lich king, I'd much rather go play DDO, or LOTRO for my MMORPG fix, these are games where you buy quest packs one time, and it's free to play so come back whenever you like.

Quote from tehslax : worst expansion IMO. The game has been reduced to weekend at the zoo. Can't believe they still get people to pay the monthly fee for something that should be free.

Agreed. This thing isn't even worth $20. $20 if there were no monthly fee, MAYBE.

Quote from Moooshe : Best expansion so far (in my humble opinion), and they do seem to release content much faster this time. The xpac only came out in september and they are already releasing the 2nd content patch in a few weeks. Definitely worth it at $40, and at $20 it's a no-brainer.

This sounds like a marketing plug. You cannot be serious......... Wow died. I used to love the game, but it's done. Nothing to see here.

want to get this, but can't think of what to get for the $5 extra for the shipping lol.

Stupid question, but do I have to buy all the expansions to be able to play this version or do I just need the base+mists to play it?

It all went downhill from vanilla

i believe you need all leading up to current exp.

Burning crusade was the last decent expansion. That was the golden age of WoW

Which is more likely as a scenario:

1. Blizzard registered this user in 2007 and slowly built up the rep and post count just to use it for marketing in 2013

-- OR --

2. Some people have different opinions than your own?




Seriously now, if you say the game is dead, done, nothing to see here, why bother trolling in posts that clearly should be of no interest to you? Move along, it's about time you let go.

Some people who say they quit the game a long time ago obviously have too much time on their hands now as they keep on bi*ching about how bad this game is wherever they can.

This is why I've been browsing less and less on slickdeals as of recent. If you have even the slightest difference of opinion people have these crazy conspiracy theories.

I pop on WoW every now and then to check it out, and after getting MoP on the last $19 deal I agree. I think it's pretty solid addition. I didn't like what they did to talent tree but meh.

Also, I agree with what a previous user said. If you can only play on the weekends and even then only for a few hours a weekend that $15 a month stings.

Agreed on both. I understand the reasoning behind the new talent trees but I don't like the implementation of it. I wish we had more options. Even with "cookie cutter" builds in the old trees, you still had some wiggle room for those little perks you wanted. Here you have none.

About the monthly fee, well, $15/month (plus tax...) is pretty steep. However, if you pay for 6 months in advance I think it comes down to about $12/month. And if you keep an eye out for game time cards on sale, you can get it even lower.

I did the 10 free days of the expansion and liked it enough to wait for a deal, and this one I bought. To each their own.

I do agree the game is dying though. Way less activity than when I played 2 years ago.

I get so tired of all the haters of the "welfare gear." Grinding Valor Points at a 1k limit per week, when the typical items costs 2k+ certainly takes time. Just doing the Looking For Raids and the daily Heroic dungeon won't cap you. And the Looking For Raids mechanic only awards sub par gear as compared to regular raiding and heroic raiding. Complaining about easy loot is nonsense, go raid regular and heroic if you feel that way.

Looking for raid mechanic was introduced last expansion, and it is amazing. It allows everyone to be able to view the end game content that used to be only viewable by a very very small percent of raiders. So what you get "purple" gear from it, its still sub par to regular raiding gear. It still requires progression of running Heroics to get the appropriate item level. You shouldn't have to devote countless hours and days to progressive raiding just to see a glimpse of the end game content.

And for those who cry about 40 mans and LFR too easy... Again, raid Reg and Heroics if you wanna cry about LFR. And 40 mans? Pfft, I will never miss waiting in MC for hours on end trying to get everyone there. People who say they miss it, simply never did it. I've end game raided every xpac since vanilla.

Sooo, good deal, good game. Better than last expansion, so some hope left for this franchise.

Brawler's guild is also a nice perk to the expansion: gives those "solo'ers" of WoW some attention as well. Overall, I thought it was a pretty balanced and interesting expansion. Still a great game, and always something new to do IMO ^_^
