People don't really hate WoW, the problem is that when WoW started it was a great game!
However, WoW brought MMO's to the masses whereas before we were all just a bunch of geeks (playing Lineage, SWG, Legend of Mir, Soma etc.) with our own little worlds to play in that the majority of the public didn't understand, Then suddenly the world takes notice of MMO's and this annoyed many of us.
WoW was good up until "The Burning Crusade" appeared and negated all our hard work gaining items from MC and BWl by letting us get items better than what we had on the first new bloody quest!
Then we had all the "Noobs" starting of characters and getting them to level 60 in a few days hence unbalancing the gameplay and causing many of the original players (like myself) to go and find something new.
But there really wasn't anything that had the scope of WoW on the horizon, Sure many tried such as Lotro, Conan and Warhammer but none really grabbed us like WoW did.
That is why so many people hate WoW, because it took away a good game and made it a public game that 10 million noobs are currently playing, while we all wait on the sidelines for something truely great to appear again.....
Exactly. There are other reasons for myself, but you're right. In turn, WoW has made every other company think they have to make a clone to succeed. They think they can get a piece of that pie. Then they fail.
