Why do people still play this game? Blizzard fucking ruined it.
Man you are very insightful. I can't wait to read the EQ thread where you ask why people still fucking play that game since SOE fucking ruined it. Then, maybe I can soak up your sage wisdom on the Rift thread where you query us as to why one would play it when Trion fucking ruined it. Maybe I'll even get lucky and you'll drop into the EQNext thread and predict that SOE will fucking ruin it!

About every major multinational company these days operates on the same system. A stack of off-shore companies holding "IP rights" that your real company has to pay at exorbitant rates, which happen to just match the amount of profit you made. In a world where the majority of the stockholder profit is made from selling/buying, rather than dividends, it doesn't matter that this money can't be used to distribute dividends.

Oh, and Apple had the same problem: when Tim Cook decided to break tradition by distributing a dividend to stockholders, he borrowed the money, because the interest on it was less than the US tax would be if Apple brought the money back. Thankfully, no politician is really serious about deficits, so those loopholes will never be plugged.
Something might be coming actually, it's quite big news in Europe atm after Amazon, Google and Starbucks got busted for doing the same thing as Apple and moving around profits to countries they get a deal with and not paying any taxes on billions of ?/$/EU sales. The G8 and G20 are talking about how they can work together to grab a share of all the missing coinage.

No doubt they'll find a new way to scam their way out of it but the old ways might be closed within a year or two.

Well if you played as long as I have you would not need detailed accounts regarding how and what they did to ruin the game from Vanilla and TBC. A little internet searching will net you all the information you need. It's not a secret. You must be new here as well. The other games you mention served their purpose as the WoW clones they are

So I don't know how to get my mage back to Pandaria. I got on the gunship moved to Pandaria. Then I mowed down those alliance guys. Didn't bother turning in quest, just jumped to the ground (lol haven't played in awhile slowfall not on hotbar), die. Revive. I can't fly back up, so I hearthed back to Org, and the gunship above Org that you take over is gone. Drop the quest, no way to restart the quest, so I'm stuck.

The best thing about wow are the animations, so smooth, it's worth subbing for once every 12-18 months.

between a priest and a mage at 85, which would be more fun to play?

Ever since they did this cross-realm shit, the object delay (drawing and such) is so fucking bad. I fly 40 feet past an herb/mine node before it fucking draws.

Cross-realms! All of the downsides, and none of the benefits! (TM)

Yes EverQuest, the game that was released 5 years prior to WoW did serve it's purpose as a WoW clone. That is until SOE fucking ruined it!
