More bitchin' in the WoW camp.
19 years ago
Blizzard and the public at large do it again. People sometimes wonder why I have such trouble getting along with others. I wonder how they can stand the raging idiocy that pours out of people. I also wonder why people are huge assholes for no reason.
Case in point,earlier today I'm in a Battle Ground,Warsong Gultch. Unfortunatly,I'm in with the poster children for the "Alliance sucks" mentality. I mean these guys just flat out cannot play. They have no idea what they're doing,half of our guys won't join the raid group,and noone's sticking together or doing anything as a team. I don't know where they were going,but it wasn't to the midfield,which is where the bulk of your team should be going. It's so bad,the Horde is basically sitting outside our base honor farming us. Or should I say me since I was the only one going out there.
Finally,I just say "fuck it" and walk out. I can't take on a whole team in an RPG like I can in a FPS because FPS go for realism while RPGs are all about rules and fairness. So I'm waiting for the "desserter" thing to wear off. Suddenly,this level 20 (BGs are divided into level sets of 10. 1-9,10-19,20-29,etc) who was in the BG pops up. Apparently the Horde got tired of pure pwnage and just capped and finished the BG. Now,as I'm sure you've grasped,going into BGs at level 20 means he's taking a possible 9 level disadvantage. I point this out cause I'd rather he didn't waste our time trying to handle BGs with that kind of disadvantage.
He points out he's aware of this and that he's "not a noob". On the other hand,he offers no reason he went into a BG with that kind of disadvantage like a noob would. I ask him why he's acting like a noob if he's not one. To which he brags he has a level 60 and acts like that makes him god of Warcraft. I'm laughing in his face as any idiot can grind up a level 60 if they keep at it. It does not mean he's a good or experienced player. And then this other player gets into it and now there's 2 morons going on about how it's "just a game" and all that shit,completely overlooking the point I'm trying to make is that he should be gaining some levels before going into the BGs. What I find laughable is that he's claiming he was killing in the BG when it was quite clear to me that no killing was going on as most of the Horde team was hanging around the midfield. I think he was hiding in the flagroom killing the only other 20 in the BG who was too stupid to realize most of his team was honor farming.
So I finally get sick of talking to them and just switch over to my paladin,Johnnybravoe. Me and my friend are going to go hit Redridge while I work Johnny up to 29 for maximum BG pwnage. Then the GM contacts me. Apparently my "friends" reported me for harassment. Apparently,telling them they suck at WoW was too much for their egos and they had to report me. The GM didn't seem to give a shit either way. He just wanted to fire off the warning e-mail and be done with it. What he got was a pissed off player who's sick of putting up with other people's shit. Oh,and he wanted me to respect his authority. BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! Yeah,barking up the wrong tree with that one,Cartman.
So I'm now completely soured on WoW. I won't be getting the expansion. I won't be renewing my account. I won't be playing on the official servers anymore. If I get a WoW urge,I'll just hit the free servers and Blizzard can go fuck themselves. WoW is,about now,hitting the "popular" point in it's MMORPG cycle. Basically,the game is so popular,the devs don't care if they lose accounts. The game will begin to decay,people will lose interest,and it will start to decline. Alot of people are falling out of love with WoW and I don't see Blizzard doing anything to fix that. So,they won't be seeing me. Ever again. Take care and have fun,kids.

You'll get bad apples wherever you go. Law of averages.
Just find a game you like to play and try to ignore (or, if you can, kill) the idiots. Don't let them ruin the experience, but if a game isn't fun to play any more for whatever reason, stop playing.
Plus,WoW is really into forcing players to team up. For example,you need teams to take on instances,go into Battle Grounds,and pretty much all of the end game stuff requires a team. If you want to get any of the good stuff at any point in the game,you need to join a team,which forces you to interact with other players and you never know what kind of jerk you're going to run across.
But yeah,it looks like Blizzard can't keep up with demand and it's only a matter of time before it all breaks down. In the meantime,every jackass and jerk is gonna take advantage of the fact noone's checking these things. And I'm gonna go catch up on the backlog of other games I got. :)
i mostly don't PvP anymore because of that reason; alliance players having no sense of teamwork. it's god damn annoying. i'm mostly grinding to get to 60 for raid dungeons and stuff, and some spiffy armor. all my good friends and boyfriend play it too, and we're around the same level. it's great to keep in communication with each other, and we don't have to wait every other weekend to play a game together. (funny enough, now when we all visit we go to the game and hobby store and play WoW on their computers for several hours. sad, huh?)
sorry you quit, we could use more guild members. :P before WoW i played ragnarok online and star wars galaxies until they nerfed that game. we're getting into city of villians now, but for some reason the game won't install onto my computer. when it's resolved, i'll let you know my character's name (assuming from your avatar, you still play.)
City of Villians is ok,having only power pool nerfs and the Global Defense Nerf thrown on it,last I heard. Oh,and Enhancement Deversification. CoH,though,has been nerfed to hell and back and CoV will probably get hit in the next patch. And it doesn't change the fact most of the missions are the same boring things over and over. The most fun you'll have with the City of games is in character creation. The rest of the game is either A) a long grind to be a level 50 (40 for villians) or B) a constant struggle to keep from leveling to avoid outleveling more boring content.
After you see Travel Power Supression in action (or should I say "inaction") you won't feel very super. I'm waiting for the server emulator which the development team of said they're going to try to peel back the nerfs and make it worth playing again. Of course,the SWG emulator team is going to try for the same thing,so you might want to keep an eye on those too.
And if you check your comments,you'll see I wasn't on the same server as you and I'm not running through to level 30 again and paying for it. :p
