Hmmmm on a random different note I have to say WoW has one big negative impact on the MMO community. Pretty much when any MMO is shown it'll be instantly compared to WoW even if its different.

And this isn't totally WoW related but it annoys me too that the second a Korean MMO is shown it'll be instantly labeled grindfest. Ok sure, they all have grind but... If you think about it WoW has a ton of grind too. It's just more... Subtle and diverse.

I mean you have your basic level grind (which isn't too bad until you get to Northrend and cry at the 1.5million you need compared to like 500k from 69 > 70...) but you also have PvP grind, your reputation grind (arguably the worst of it all?), professions grind... And I guess a gear/raid grind too. So when I think about it WoW is about as grindy as some Korean MMOs, the grind is just more divided out so you don't notice it as easily... Or maybe I'm just fed up with every MMO being compared to WoW the second anyone hears of it.
