There's also an earlier one about the limitations of text and how easily it is misinterpreted, that may explain some of the apparent stupidity or stubborness. On top of that, people in general are not eager for unsolicited advice from strangers, which is what we all are these days.<br /><br />@Nils: What is breaking the world with this?<br /><br />@Anonymous: For most games the reward is the play itself. I applaud your son for finding a way to enjoy the game. Maybe in time he will find the fun of challenge, or maybe not, no problem either way.<br /><br />The problem with the heroic-normal split is that heroics and hardmodes are not merely harder, but just plain more interesting. I learned this when I started in ICC hardmodes and found that they added depth to the fights, seemingly making them more complete.<br /><br />@Korhaug: Raids have been getting their periodic nerfs since BC.<br /><br />When pushed, some players will get better. Others will quit, not because they are lazy or stupid, but because that isn't what they're looking for in a game. WoW can be many thing to many people, but not all things to all people, so someone will always be left out. For years it was less determined players players. Lately it's a different group.Klepsacovichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07915576683657376929noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5462978744516866472.post-32397409755746398502011-02-08T06:06:19.128-06:002011-02-08T06:06:19.128-06:00If wotlk has proven one thing, it's that peopl...If wotlk has proven one thing, it's that people will only play as well as they have to. Even players who were capable of CC and focus DPS lolnuked their way through instances, because they could.<br /><br />Difficult content is the only thing that causes players to improve. Blizzard have consciously given up on pressuring players to get better, and are instead nerfing content to the point where it can be lolnuked again. While the manner in which they're doing it is well thought it, the bottom line is the same.<br /><br />And you know what? Raids -are- next. Most trade channel pugs fail to kill a single boss in BWD/BoT even on normal. The only logical conclusion is that the next raid tier will either be much easier (TOC) or self-nerfing (ICC).Korhaugnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5462978744516866472.post-23608773167926229682011-02-08T05:41:04.863-06:002011-02-08T05:41:04.863-06:00The nerf is ONLY about purple (or blue) pixels.

The "morons" in this case is people that are disgruntled because they cannot get the shiniest shinies regardless of what they do.<br />My 9-year son is like that, when he enters cheatcodes in games to be able to get rewards without playing the game.<br /><br />There is already a variable difficulty - <br />Normal and Heroic. Heroics are supposed to be harder.<br /><br />This kind of nerf destroys heroics for people who want to have the intended challenge but need to do it in a pug.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5462978744516866472.post-32627089231761637122011-02-08T01:54:33.138-06:002011-02-08T01:54:33.138-06:00In my opinion, the only reason to complain about t...In my opinion, the only reason to complain about the Luck of the Draw is that it doesn't make any sense. For people who consider WoW a series of minigames and like it this way, this isn't much of a problem. You start minigame, minigame fun. mission accomplished.<br /><br />However, for people who would like to play in a virtual world this is (another) game-breaking problem. Needless to say that I belong to last group. My latest WoW break began a week ago.Nilshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06468755466492675831noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5462978744516866472.post-73234415104537845772011-02-07T22:01:52.400-06:002011-02-07T22:01:52.400-06:00Tobold is wrong when he says there aren't moro...Tobold is wrong when he says there aren't morons, there very much are in this game (try telling someone if they change their rotation up a bit they will get a lot more dps, you get one of two response "stfu up newb" or "thanks" in about 50/50 split). However the people complaining about luck of the draw for heroics ARE morons themselves. I don't care that full pugs get to do heroics easier, heck i am happy when i go with my tank and healer we get a 10% buff to run the place faster. <br /><br />Anyone who wants the 4 hour heroics that were the first 2 days of cata for the entire cata expansion has entirely too much time on their hands or needs to find more to do in game. <br /><br />I don't know anyone in a higher end guild that is anything BUT happy about this for when they run outside guild groups. Nerf heroics as much as they want and give raid content 2-3 months before they start nerfing it and i am happy.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
