Why peoples plays more MOP than Cata?

[KinGMetiN]

Can anyone answer the question?

In the Mop servers are most of the game buggy (instances,raids)
and in Cata are all instances,raids open and works fine almost.

But why plays so much people at the Mop Server?

P.S : Sorry for my bad englisch :D

[DoctorB0NG]

It's newer and Cata has been around on this server for a while. I'm assuming there's some folks who are sick of Cata and looking to try something new even if it isn't up to the level Cata is at the moment.

Cata is the worst of all expansions, people will naturally stay away from that thing regardless if scripted or not. It's just the truth.

And why play all the people MOP ? I played there and its a disaster

Well that was until WoD, by far WoD surpasses Cata as the worst by a long shot. People were complaining that Cata instances were to hard, but at least there were instances to do. There were things to do in Cata, but WoD, no way. Sit in your garrison all day do your little facebook game and only leave to go raid and that's well about it.

It's not, jesus..


And why do most ppl play there you ask?!

Newer patch, more ppl attract more ppl... but you are not forced to play it, so I don't really understand why you even ask that question.


You could also ask: "Why do most people prefere vanilla over chocolate ice cream?" ;)

That would be a valid argument if the most populated realms are not those running the oldest expansion. ;)
The thing is that even Cataclym realms are far from being fixed and completly enjoyable.

[toniplavna]

Because cata is the worst expansion in wow. Maybe WOD can be even worse cuz pvp is messed up.
Wotlk>TBC>rest

[leea]

Cuz in Cata, PvE is for handicapped kids with half brain only 2 3 boss's are hard and the PvP is ruined by all this instant donation's from marketplace. So yeah this is the main reason why ppl playing MoP more, its true that mop is full of bugs but tbh its still better than cata

After three years playing on Cataclysm I decided to move MoP, there were few reasons behind that:

After Moltdown everyone had AT LEAST one 416ilvl item, and most of the people had BIS gear in PvP/PvE. Doing Firelands with 400ilvl+ group is kinda boring, along with facing another Rogue/Ret in 2s with Vial 2p Gurthalak and nokaleds.

Another reason for leaving is that, developers left that expansion after release of DS HC, we had to wait over 8 months for Paladin's Gurthalak fix or Warrior Execute which totally broke Pvp/Pve on the server. There were alot of other urgent class bugs. In addictional same achievements (quests ones, pvp ones, pve ones like Glory of X, World Events) or old Tbc/Wotlk raids are still NOT working on Cataclysm.

One more reason for someone who wants to play PvP, was the MMR system which pulled a knife into pvp spirit's back. You probably know how it worked and how it was abused.

Last reason for me was that, I already killed every single possible boss on Cataclysm at 25 Heroic and 10 Heroic and farmed DS HC bilion times. If that's not enough I've made a critical mistake by spending my 800 coins at PvE gear for my three characters, so I have no point in raiding now.


Meanwhile I saw their focus on MOP realms, almost every week one update. I said to myself "why not try MoP then?" I made a rogue right after MoP got release but there were no content, not a single dungeon to do or even battleground, so I just left.
I thought after all these months the situation must had changed alot! Well, now I play mostly on MoP and I can say its total, cancer, diseaste. I thought it will take me at least few months to get to the point of "Ok now I am waiting for next week of raid reset / valor reset" but jk I am already at that point after ~5-7 weeks. Also current content is at less than zero point.

Lastly I'd say, if any developer read this, I think you have problem with prioritizing. Example: MoP, you released 496ilvl raid when there was avaliable 7 bosses of 522ilvl ToT and Valor Points gear along with 496ilvl farmable Tyrannicals and 522ilvl Grevious. What was the point of releasing such useless raid that nobody even doing right now? Another thing, if you would focus FULLY on MoP right now, for like 5-8 months, then I could say it would be SICKEST MoP realm. I know developers have skills, they have power but they cannot prioritize actions well. Imo you shouldn't fully focus on WOTLK, beacuse Cataclysm and MoP is LIGHT YEARS BEHIND Wotlk.

Please focus more on MoP/Cataclysm, Frostwolf is a diseaste, we are playing on 1% content and there is literally nothing to do, Cataclysm is rusty, no new content since months, best pve guilds just left retail and best pvp players left since they know Glad titles means NOTHING anymore.

I know, bad gramma, sorry.

The sad thing is they are actually working on WoD also, which is bull****. The expansion where Holinka ****ed up, no thanks.
PvP is even more ****ed up in WoD. Fdks and hunters are broken. And Fdks are still getting buffed
Hunter especially, good luck catching one as a melee. It's hard to do that in MoP, let alone WoD , because.. gg Blizz on removing the 8yard minim range penalty.
If they would focus their priorities on MoP and dump freaking WoD, we'll have AT LEAST a playable expansion. We've lived with 3 bgs for 8 months then they released another 2... for another 8 months i guess, while they release PvE stuff. Classes got ****tons of bugs atm, not so much content, like there are no BG's other than EOTS,AB,WSG,Twins, and Temple. Stop working on WoD for god's sake, focus ur development on your newly released expansion. At least bring MoP to Cata's state, that could be great.

[toniplavna]

I think they are not working on WOD at all. That is probably halted.
Anyway there is sudden change in priority. We had in the beggining- only wotlk. Super fast fixes... then cata came, no more wotlk focus. Only 1 dev worked on that expansion. Now we got MOP, cata is left behind. And suddenly Warmane decided to focus on WOTLK! (Im glad cuz of that) on the same level as MOP. They even decided to open Lordaeron again.
Well situation is clear here: WOTLK>all ;)

No thank you.... I've killed everything in WOTLK and i know other servers that i would play if i want to experience it :) Just my 2 cents! I like MOP cause i acutally enjoyed it (back in siege at least)

[toniplavna]

I didnt offer you anything no need to thank me :D I just said what majority think here. Im playing MOP too. But monkey bosses arent funny to me.

I play WoTLK for over 6 years and for the past 5 all I've done was AFK at Dalaran bank -> raid -> AFK at Dalaran, basically. There are better reasons as to why WoD is boring and sucks than "nothing to do".
