Losing Interest In WoW?

Game reviews tend to be love or hate. Either the reviewer thinks this game is better than anything else in the whole world, and you should play it RIGHT NOW! Or the reviewer hates the game, it sucks and it’s a waste of money. It’s hard to tell what’s worth playing. But here are some middle-of-the-road comments from a WoW gamer, thinking about changes in the game:
As I reach higher levels, the proportion of powergamers is increasing. Instead of occasionally finding myself in a party with one guy who’s a bit obsessed with his shiny new sword, higher levels seem to be all about the gear. Like high school from hell, only those wearing the right clothes are invited to the party… where the main subject of conversation is who has what, and where they got it. It looks like end game is entirely focused on gear.

And gold spamming has gotten out of control recently. Hawkers shout URLs in Ironforge and Goldshire like pushy sovenir vendors in Beijing. Hello! Best price! I don’t need WoW gold any more than I need a plastic doohicky embossed with the Olympics logo, and I resent the harassment. Is there that much of a market for broke WarCraft characters, who can’t follow the ads on Thotbot or google BUY WOW GOLD?
