The Tempting “DELETE” Button!?


I have a friend, and we both suffer from a case of deletealohlism.  Its were you have too many characters on one server (or other servers) and you began to sympathize with them. Asking your self:

“Why did I create you, how come am I not playing you right now?”
“I’m sorry about your misfortune, would you like to go back to the neither-verse and rest your pix-elated soul.”

Then you proceed to type in D-E-L-E-T-E and presto, your toon is gone, and get a sense of relief, almost liberating. It becomes addicting. I’ve deleted toons over level 50 pre wrath and had them restored only to delete them again!
I have rolled alts to play and deleted them just as fast as I had created them. This all goes along with my other 2 posts HERE and over HERE, about how it may be time to quit your current game, or at least take a break and do things IRL for a bit. I found some deleted my Wow account videos that should have gone with my other posts, but didn’t know about them then. So, I’m going to post them with this one; as they are about the same genera.

Well that was Depressing/odd wasn’t it. Did you feel something give way deep inside of you?? Well, :P it might be time. (Hopefully none of that stuff has happened to you!)

I personally get like this around the time I hit Northrend, or get frustrated with a character’s  progression.
I’m feeling this right now for a few reasons:
1. Lack of friends to play with on my server
2. Lack of general population maturity in World of Warcraft: ie, trade chat or general chats consistent spam of linking items and the fetish of linking ablitlies with the word Anal right after it, which I will admit was funny the first time I saw it probably Six months ago, but by now its down right annoying.

Okay, here’s two screen shots from /2 or Trade chat.  When I logged back in over an hour an 1/2 later, you had better believed that there was still a consistant stream of Anal this and that.

3. End game is just BLEH like that infamous Chinese restaurant that every town has and you can’t tell if they are legit authentic Chinese food, or cat cooking cheap under the table dirty chiefs,  that you dread going too, but your family or friends rave about…ugh.

Pvp/class imbalances are not withstanding, but when a “nerfed” pally can still 3 shot you and you have 800 resilience, 26k hp, there is something wrong with the mechanics of the game.
Support classes should very well be capable of dps(damage per sec) and not feel gimped in other rolls when they choose to pursue those career paths. The problem is the balance of the game has been thrown out of scale(wack) with the introduction of Arenas(team vs. team combat) and the sole purpose or design of a class mechanics right along with it. Every time one player says this or that about being nerfed(under powered) or about how another class is over powered, the combat mechanics team has to go back to the drawing board and see whats going on. This causes multiple problems for average users pve/pvpers. Not the die hard Arena fanboi. Spinks has an article that talks about Arenas how they are the worst mistake Blizzard has implemented in Wow. I don’t want to go into too much detail about Arenas and that facet of PvP. I like world pvp and battle grounds. They suit my play style better.

The purpose for this post is to vent out my frustration with Wow right now. I almost want to DELETE all my characters, save one, and start over with my heirlooms. :? I know that sound dumb, and it probably is, BUT IT’S MY MONEY AND MY GAME TIME, so i can do w/e I want. I’m not really that frustrated, just more annoyed at the end-game in Wow. Raiding is hours of your time spent listening to other complian and gripe about one thing or the next, and the loot system is terrible in Wow, WTF do Mages need 4 pecieses of gear drops in every VOA run, and chance that it’s not cloth for a mage its plate for a paladin or dk. thats the ratio of drops, I’ve run 10 and 25 mans on my druid and shaman not one thing dropped in over several attempts, with my old guild or the many, many PUGS(pick up groups) that I’ve done. Its just annoying. Okay, I’m going to abrubtly stop here, because I’m tired of talking about this.

And just to show, that I’m not a real Wow hater, or anything, (*cough*addict*cough) I’m going to go play Wow, but I might delete all my Horde toons and go Alliance. Taking server/guild suggestions now!! oh, maybe I’ll do what pitrelli is doing and go on a pve server, or roll play server. I dunno. BLEH BLEH BLEH BLEH BLEH BLEH itsmuchnicertoventonurownblogthanacomunityblog BLEH BLEH BLEH BLHE!!!

Okay, I’m ok now. :)

  1. You should have said something. If you didn’t mind changing faction and servers, you could have come raid with me, we are always looking for good people to play with. Not into raiding? No problem, I have a friends only guild that just hangs around and does a few heroics a week and kill Horde, that is where changing faction would be important. lol

    Well, I know its hard. I had to quit EQ back in the day, so I gave my account to a friend who basically let his 5 yr old play my High end Shammy.. how depressing. Better to delete I say.

  2. Yeah, so far I have managed to forgo any deleting of my characters because I’m so weak willed when it comes to quitting wow. If my friend decides to play wow at some point, then I’d be more than happy to help her get set up and play again(she’d prob go alliance) and then I’d be happy to x-fer / faction change one toon.

    But for now, I will just wait until cataclysm comes out and try it then. I really need to save some money too so the f2p market is really appealing right now :P and Imtalkingames has a lot of wow bloggers now with Rackham joining.

    And I just need a change of pace/face. DDO combat and UI is a good change from Wow’s cartoon-ish graphics(although i don’t mind them) it’s nice to try something different for now.
