Worst Game I’ve Ever Played

Worst Game I’ve Ever Played
The worst game I have ever had the shame and pain of playing is one that is considered by most as “the best massive-multiplayer online role playing game in the world” I however strongly disagree. Yes I am one of few gamers who hates world of war craft.
The reasons why I hate world of war craft is firstly the ridiculous price of the “game” at £20 for each instalment of the games (currently being 3) and at roughly £8.99 s month it would cost £168 to buy all the games and a year’s subscription an insane amount for one game.
I never actually purchased wow I did however pick up a 14 day trial version of the game which hit the bin and off the pc all in the same day. What I did find when I played was myself in a very cheap looking world with a load of other people going “what the hell do we do then” I wondered around a bit until I spoke to an npc (non-player character) who wanted me to take his present to his mate for him so I agreed and had to run for 20 minutes to deliver this present to a very ungrateful npc who’d only give me 200 coins, least to say I was annoyed.
One of the worst things I find about the game is the fact that when you die you get to keep all your items where’s the challenge in a game where everything you do has no level of threat or danger to it.
As well as having random people kill me who were much higher levels than me I didn’t stand a chance. And I didn’t exactly find this game welcoming for new players.
If I had to describe wow on a whole I’d say wearing barbed-wire boxers would be more enjoyable than playing that game ever again.
