Title: Blizzard finally made a game too good
Post by: Prost on January 25, 2007, 10:17:20 AM: Like I've always said this game really fucks people up.... look at this shit people have dealt with.

People say they can moderate the game and everything and that's fine. But is even the risk of the possibility of this happening to you while moderately playing even worth it to play the game? It is sooooooooooooo fucked up!

Post by: Van Cruncheon on January 25, 2007, 01:59:03 PM: Note that folks in those testimonials talk about raiding. Play it solo, folks; don't join a raiding guild; and don't raid! You can get close to top-tier EQ from PvP/Battlegrounds and even solo/PUG play, now. Raiding is a waste of life.
Title: Re: Blizzard finally made a game too good
Post by: cubicle47b on January 25, 2007, 03:13:25 PM: I actually like raiding a lot. It's not even about gear as I never PVP'd on my lock (outside of a little Crossroads world PVP) and would often run 20 mans when I didn't need anything. It is a horrible time sink, though.

edit: A good 3 hour BWL run is about the most fun I have in-game. However, certain parts of raiding genuinely suck. Farming mats for necessary buffs (late AQ40, Naxx) and Molten Core can kill any enthusiasm you have for the game.

I mean, the people who play religiously or even semi-regularly just seem like they're replacing genuine social interaction with the interweb. Kind of sad, really.

With the expansion, I hope that changes.

Post by: etiolate on January 28, 2007, 03:51:07 AM: wow is average

It's a living online world that is the draw, but the game itself is on the low end of Blizzard's catalog. I hope there is some sort of MMO crash so that someone can fix the shite gameplay and carrot on a stick mentality of these games. I hope for it like I hope for a FPS crasha nd reinvention.

Every genre Blizzard has done, they have made the best game in the genre. If you think WoW truly sucks, that may be for some people, but it's still the best MMORPG out there. And I don't know if blizz actually took my suggestion, or if they really needed to even hear it before assuming it themselves... but they're going to have something like war3-style ladder for arena. They needed to make it, because now there's that drive for soemone to get #1. That's what will keep people addicted.... the whole raiding/guild drama thing was too boring for some.

Well I made a really in depth suggestion. Like 6-7 pages long.
Way back in early retail

It's actually really smart of them to read long suggestions because they're very well thought out ideas.

I wouldn't expect you to understand since something like "F U GUYS DO THIS" obviously means something to someone like you.

Speaking of replacing genuine social interaction with the interweb, how many posts per day do you have, between this place and NeoGAF?

Let's see. I'm averaging about 14 posts per day here, and 8 over at gaf. So 22, which is not a lot compared to the people that REALLY who have no life: your PDs, Shakes, etc. Then you factor in that a lot of them play WoW on top of their excessive forum going... I think you see where I'm going here. Also, I don't go to Dragon*Con or get wet over the release of a buggy new OS. Burn!

What the fuck you're spinning that like crazy.

I'm saying the addiction of WoW sucks and is "fucked up." Anyone truly addicted would probably agree, and then people that moderate their playtime are fine too.

When the hell did I say I was better than other addicts? I was one....and I know exactly what it's like ????????

I don't sit here and talk shit for their gaming obsession because I was obsessed too, probably more than anyone here even.

I don't like that at all, you make me seem like some prick because I feel like I'm fucking enlightened because I quit. That's bullshit.

MAF was a cock.. he laughed at me when I said I had given a major suggestion, and even after he laughed I gave a normal response as to why my suggestion could've been focused on, and then he laughed again saying something immature like "F U GUYS DO THIS" so I feel I was pretty fucking entitled to go back at him.

If this post wasn't directed at me then I apologize, but I thought it was ;(

It wasn't. I was thinking more of Ellrick's WoW-whining at the Opa-Ages, and your tone just kind of reminded me of that. There are a lot of snotty ex-WoW players though.
