Q u o t e:
This was the wrong decision. People want their cake and want to eat it too. Easy epics. Superfast access to raid instances. No attunements. No needing to prove yourself before you can attempt the hardest content in the game.
Yeah, Coldbear. Because we all know that if you don't grab a rock in BRD, you can't cleansebot for MC.
Q u o t e:
Want to avoid all mobs and opposing-faction players? - Just get on your flying mount and jet away.
Oh no, people can avoid mobs and players that they don't want to have to bother killing in the world so they can get to where they can just get to where they want to go. The game is ruined for all the super skilled people that can prove themselves! Slap in the face!
I remember the days of vanilla WoW, aka the pure and perfect WoW for all the hardcore elites, when I had to do the horde onyxia attunment just to get to a mail box, every single time I wanted to. And then I had to do a timed crossword puzzle in Russian to click on it (the click ability lasted for 30 min), and then do a sudoku puzzle before I could open mail without an attachment, or translate Aramaic if the mail did have an attachment.
Those were they days when you had to actually earn everything in the game and prove yourself worthy of playing and checking mail. Approximately 78 percent of all the epicness is now gone from the entire game now that you can just walk up to a mailbox and take whatever you want from it, without actually earning the right to do it.
Q u o t e:
Want a motorcycle or a helicopter - here it is.
Oh man, more memories of vanilla wow. I remember I had to destroy and then put back together Azeroth for a mount after getting exalted and then hated with a city faction. Now, all these WotLK kiddies have their engineering motorcycles mailed to them -- and, again, they don't even have to do puzzles or know foreign and dead languages. Slap in the face!
Q u o t e:
Want to hang out in BGs or do ten arena games per week and get all kitted out in epics - no problem, this is the game for you.
I know, right! They should implement a rating system or something before you can get arena epics. I remember back in vanilla wow when I had to run a 3 min mile just to que up for arenas. And then in BC, I could sign up for a match any time I wanted and then study Latin (for when all guild names have to be in Latin and you have to take a Latin test before buying a charter and accepting an invite so it takes skill to be in a guild) while losing 10 games in a row to get epic season 3 shoulders at a rate of three per week.
Q u o t e:
Ok, guess you and the developers are gonna keep on catering to the lowest common denominator amongst your customers.
No, man! Resist! Refuse and resist! Don't give in to "the man!" Demand that they cater to the most high and glorious denominator! You know, all us vanilla WoW elites that want to spend $15 per day furiously engaged in doing trivial things before we can work at the game some more. Screw all the people that want to have fun and have to spend time away from the game for jobs and going out.
Q u o t e:
Can't please them all, and the majority of the kids that play these days want things to come easy, kinda like in Nintendo or your average first-person shooter game. Fast and easy. Quick groups and straight to the instance.
Oh man, don't you remember vanilla wow when you had to send an application in the mail before you could join a group? And then you had to show up for an interview and then do 45 pull ups in a minute? Those were the days. No one ever went into any of the instances, which was fine since obviously they were not ready to play this game. I mean, they don't even have super computers to process all of the keystrokes per second required to pull off a sunder armor or a greater heal. Amatures! And Blizzard wants to cater to them!
Q u o t e:
World pvp? Huh, no we don't like that. We like instant travel.
Oh man, do you remember in vanilla wow when you had to kill everyone in Org just so you could get from the starting zone to Goldshire? Those were the days, man! Now they've got mounts and flying mounts and flight paths and all that dooling idiot stuff. Any moron can hop on a bird, well, now that Blizzard has decided to cater to the mouth breathing idiot masses that only want to play the game without earning it.
But how many people can do what we elite super players can do and destroy all of the Titan pantheon while we walk from Stormwind to Scarlet Monstary and then back, all while wearing those electro-shock codpieces to prove our worth.
Q u o t e:
An immersive world were things seem vast, mystical and you feel like you're part of some great adventure - sorry, that's gonna have to take a backseat. More flashy graphic effects please, preferably so much that you can't even see the boss in a raidfight.
Oh man, I remember in vanilla WoW when you had to slay an actual boar at your desk every time you wanted to kill one for XP. Not only did you have to find a boar in real life, you had to capture it, get it to your desk and then kill it, and then send proof to Blizzard before they sent you a question written in Greek that you had to answer correctly in order to unlock the ability to kill a boar. A single boar! That was skill and immersion right there.
Q u o t e:
Aggro too hard for you? Ok, we'll just dramatically up the threat generation of ALL tanks across the board to make sure you don't really need to be a good player to get to endgame raidcontent.
Yeah man, I remember back in Vanilla wow when pallies had Blessing of Salvation and it only lasted 5 min, and there were no greater blessings so you had to buff every single person individually, and raids were 40-man which meant they were harder and required more skill. Those were the days. Some people were like "this is really inconvenient." But what they really meant was that buffing all those people every 5 min took too much skill and they couldn't handle it. They didn't have the IQs and typing speed to get it done. They lacked elite player skills and wanted everything dumbed down.
So they took away Blessing of Salvation and that one totem and then just made all the tanks generate more aggro to make up the difference. Otherwise groups with no pally or shaman would be at a noticable disadvantage. And that's why the game sucks, now, because pallies and shamans aren't required for everything anymore. And pallies don't have to buff every 5 minutes.
Boo hoo. The game took skill. Go cry to your teachers for not training you for the mature and skill demanding game that WoW used to be.
