Are expansions ruining World of Warcraft?
I'm split with the content of this article. As someone who just a couple months ago decided to start playing while some of my other friends have for years already, I feel like I'm missing out on a lot of the content that was meant to be enjoyed before level 60. Several quests in the 30s and 40s range send you to instances that I can't get into because it's impossible to find a group. My friends that already play are busy running naxx and ulduar to gear up, and it seems like I'm being forced into soloing the entire game up until I at least get through the 'classic' content. Reading an article that looks back on this content with such fondness, I feel like since I'm joining up for the first time a couple years behind everyone else, I'm missing out on a lot of these experiences that really my only chance to enjoy will be when I get to 80 and offer runs for others. Most of the appeal that drew me to WoW was being able to create your own experience while you approach the level cap, and it seems I'm having to mooch off my high-level friends for gold, etc. since it takes much less time to get past the first 40 or so levels from what i've heard. All in all I still love the game, but I think it's somewhat looked over that there are still people that are just now beginning to enjoy all it has to offer.

In short, sorry for whining.

Things gamers don't actually care about
you can actually use your xbox 360 avatars in the new scene it! game they have, and it's actually pretty neat, if you like the board game and are too lazy to set it up yourself. plus it's kind of neat to have you and your friends real and little digital selves competing on the screen
