Add WoW to PS4 then we are talkin.

If that happens, then I'm quitting for sure. Sorry but the game is already extremely "Hold my hand and we'll do everything together! Don't go too fast though! There we go that wasn't so scary now was it? YAY YOU ARE THE HERO THAT DID EVERYTHING!".

It would then also just have controller optimalisation and limit the spells and attacks to a few only. Might as well just make a game with an "I WIN!" button then and just watch your character move over the screen without you doing anything. We're already half way there with Pandaria.

But then I even find Phasing annoying:"What do you mean you can't see me? Did you not do this part yet? Oh give me a break Blizzard. Nah.. that isn't your fault not every roleplayer lvls' that fast" is a conversation I just have to have far to often.

I pretty much gave up on WoW seriously after Burning Crusade, everything felt like i've done it already boss encounter wise.

I played WoTLK towards the end where you could gear out in a week and beat Arthas.. After that the story went wild and everything was a real rehash encounter wise.

The story is a serious problem for alot of RPers, especially the pop culture refferences. Holidays like "Dalaran Fall" for Stormwind are no longer canon in favour of things that are just rip ofs from real life.

Plus I must admit as an Blood Elf, Dwarf and Orc fan, the story for the Belves and Orcs has been a bit... well.. meh. I really enjoy Orcs and Dwarves for PVP/PVEng, but I also enjoyed he Blood Elf concept from Warcraft 3 and TBC for roleplaying. That was until they got their Sunwell back and turned into something.... far less driven and far more whiteknight. I really enjoyed to walk that sharp edge of the blade with them in RP, that "Figth fire with fire!", not Evil.. but if you can abuse evil to come to defeat a greater evil? sure... if that Evil also benefits the Blood Elves quite a bit more then the others.. SURE SURE!

That constant walk on the tightline I found very ... interesting. Most of that is gone for them now sadly enough. The High Elves, unplayable unless you are a bit creative on a Roleplaying server, do have that drive still.. but for whole different reasons.

I'm not an Alliance player, outside of having had a Dwarf PVP character alt (Main was an Orc on a PVP server for Vanila and much of TBC). But on that note I also feel a bit.. shafted.

I mean I loved the 4 hour+ Alterac Valeys. That was so Epic! Two of the most bad ass races in fantasy squaring off in a huge battleground for hours. Meeting in mid 40 vs 40 :). Man was so much fun to be an Orc warrior in that BG. Sadly that was taken away to be "streamlined".

Instances as awesome as BRD, with it's 19 bosses, true exploration of dungeons :). Now if you compare it to the Pandaria instances.. you just stand outside again within 15 minutes unless you are doing a raid.

Now I am ranting, I know. The cold hard fact is, I am no longer the target audience ;). But I do like to lament over the game and the Warcraft universe. And I do keep playing with a very faint hope that it might return. But I think it is far sooner we'll get a PS4 version then what I personally grew to love in Vanilla and TBC :).

It just is so hard to give up on good memories ;).
