So, a Blog…
Filed under: Post Unrelated |
I have no experience in such things, and am therefore a blogging virgin for lack of a better term. I am predicting much pain and suffering.
Huh.
Anyways, this is going to be a blog with information. Shiny information.
Informative information may be more to your liking, I assume. This is going to be a blog about the World of Warcraft, what I do in it, what my opinions are on the game, its developers, its backing companies, its leading players/guilds, the PTR, the lifestyle of a WoW player, and how much better PC gaming is than console gaming.
Especially that last one. Particularly the parts about WoW. Let me preface my blog with saying that Bobby Kotick (Activision Blizzard CEO) is an unloyal piece of money-grubbing garbage, with his focus pinpointed onto profit. This can be good, or it can be bad.
He may let the company to cater to the people who put time, effort, money, and dedication into the game.
Or, he may force AB to cater to the people who put time, and money in, but no effort, no dedication, no actual thought. The people who believe that “hey dued, its just a game, clam down, 500 dps is gud.” The people who constantly ask for easier and easier content, when they put no effort to get into the hard content. The people who forced them to create things such as the low quality (in comparison to Ulduar) Trial of the Crusader.
God help him if he forces them to cater to the latter for much longer. Cataclysm can be the saving expansion, or the final straw that broke the camel’s (or, in this case, the dedicated players’) back.
And so, I hope I’ve left a good impression on the people who are worth it, and a bad one on those who aren’t.
EDIT: So, I’ve been told that I wasn’t clear enough when I said Trial of the Crusader was low quality. It is low quality, at least to a portion of the playerbase, due to one of several reasons. One reason is that it took place in a single room, and there is no exploring. A different reason is the relative ease, in comparison to Ulduar. Yet another reason is the fairly large jump in difficulty between the normal modes and Trial of the Grand Crusader. Unlike what was implied, I am not against ‘casuals’ who play for short amounts of time to get loot. I am against people who can pug it and still get fairly far. Sure, there are good pugs, but if a majority of them are suddenly clearing a raid instance that is a step above Ulduar, what is the difference? Organization? Difficulty?
To be honest, I don’t know. Anyways, using a rather less perverted thought than originally came to mind, different people like different standards. Some people may not care whether someone worse than them gets gear, as long as it’s not theirs. I’m one of the elitist bastards who do care about these things, at times. Other times, I don’t really care. All in all, props to the dude who designed Freya and the Twin Valk’yr, along with the Professor Putricide in ICC; you’re one of the best on the team, in my opinion
