My (non-existent) WoW future

Posted on 22:00 by Unknown
I barely played WoW since I started EVE online. Time fades bad memories and places nostalgic light to the good ones. While I was parsing old posts, the pictures of firstkills felt bittersweet: it were all highlights of my WoW gaming, successes of my adventures. I was expecting to return to Mists of Pandaria.

Preparing to Mists of Pandaria, my girlfirend found a nice questline to free a little creature. The last step leads you to Zul'Gurub "heroic" (this word in WoW means that while you can solo it, it's faster in group). So after long months of inactivity we queued to a dungeon group to kill Bloodlord Mandokir. The "heroes of Azeroth" prevailed over the evil troll:

Needless to say that the #2 paladin was the tank. And no, the mage is not a freshly dinged alt, she has near-top level gear, and even some enchants and gems. Including a strength gem.

I know that the EVE playerbase isn't better. Retard fit killmails are all-over the place, even on titans. CCP had to buff the mining barges because the morons couldn't fit tanking items. But in EVE at least you can kill, scam and exploit them. In WoW you must help them to get rewards.

I don't care how great features, lore, graphics Blizzard created for MoP. There is nothing that can make me to be in the same groups as these disgusting failures. I'll play only with my guild, (The Pug, Agamaggan-EU), if there is no guild group, I won't play. Feel free to join if you want to experience MoP content without having to boost complete morons.

This little "heroic" shown how deep the game I once played with enthusiasm sank. The whole Mists of Pandaria setting is completely aiming for small children and 80 IQ "adults". Woot kung-fu pandas! Also, the game was further simplified to avoid the pictured creatures fail harder. Talent system removed, several spells removed, simplified. You can practically faceroll and do OK-ish performance. The new endgame, the "challenge mode" make character building completely irrelevant as gear will be normalized. Coupled with the simplified spell and talent system, in MoP there will only be dance, it will be like Super Mario.

Blizzard isn't evil or lowly, they merely go where the money is. If the largest reachable paying customer demographics is total morons, then they make game for total morons. If you aren't retarded, you aren't in the target audience. I am not always sure that EVE is different, but at least there is hope for it, since it allows us to be hostile to the morons, we aren't forced to feed them.


PS. Just received this video talking about the same entitled demographics. I can't believe that someone dared to say this in public. I'd totally vote for the guy, despite all his flaws, just for this one speech. (Unfortunately for him, I'm not in his country)


Tuesday morning report: 152.9B (5.5 spent on main accounts, 3.6 spent on Logi/Carrier, 3.2 on Ragnarok, 2.6 on Rorqual, 2.4 on Nyx, 2.8 on Avatar, 17.4 sent as gift)
