When socials and new players try to break into heroics and raids the clash begins. We are all pretty much at a point where we can kind of tell where dps/healing/tanking will be vs gear score. ( no gs debate please). If u are near 6k gs than I expect around 5k dps tanks at around 50k health and a healer that can be half afk and do the job. We all kind of know what the numbers in-between should be. If you are at or around 6k gs and not performing anywhere near the norm, u will most likely get kicked. Obviously 6k gs is just an arbitrary number.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5462978744516866472.post-45576669062451977192010-10-05T04:24:35.426-05:002010-10-05T04:24:35.426-05:00There are many different ways to play WoW.

Some people just like hanging out with their friends online, shooting the breeze together. A lot of the negativity comes from people assuming that their way of playing is the one true way, and anyone not following their path is playing wrongly.<br /><br />In real life, too, we all have different goals. Some people want a job that earns them a fortune, others want a job that gives them fun, or allows them plenty of time with their kids, or that gives them the opportunity to help other people. Some people don't want a regular job at all, and are happiest to drop out.<br /><br />In real life, most of us realize that each person has to live their own life, as well as they can (within the confines of the laws that our society sets to prevent us harming others in pursuit of our own personal happiness).<br /><br />In WoW, it seems a lot of people haven't come to that realization.Dàchénghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02994982502333811797noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5462978744516866472.post-38279213370043219892010-10-05T02:33:21.038-05:002010-10-05T02:33:21.038-05:00Yes, WoW is a game and anyone can play it as they ...Yes, WoW is a game and anyone can play it as they see fit. BUT. WoW isn't a single player game. If you're going to attempt group content (because you think that would be fun), you also take on the responsibility not to burden others too much (unless you're only doing it to annoy other people in the first place, in which case you deserve whatever you get called).<br /><br />Granted, the name calling might be a bit more extreme than I would have liked, but it isn't entirely unjustified.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5462978744516866472.post-53556642456197526852010-10-05T01:44:44.778-05:002010-10-05T01:44:44.778-05:00I never had a problem with people being bad. As lo...I never had a problem with people being bad. As long as they try, I'm completely find. I won't take the person to ICC with me, bot most of the time, he/she doesn't even want that.<br /><br />However, when someone goes out of their way to be bad, or tries to leech off of everyone else, I stop being nice.<br /><br />I don't think I'm being negative though. I'm not one of the people that complain about the community or any other aspect of the game. I prefer to do something about it, instead of just bitch and moan.<br /><br />Now yes, I do kick people, but I never do it for a silly reason and always give advanced notice so that they get the chance to stop doing whatever it is they are doing (AFKing with the intent to leach, /following, ninjaing, etc.)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11985132482635293125noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5462978744516866472.post-30345474304394849222010-10-04T17:40:46.487-05:002010-10-04T17:40:46.487-05:00@Rashtag: I understand your frustration with their...@Rashtag: I understand your frustration with their pro-patient-being-alive bias.<br /><br />@Anonymous: An excellent point and well stated.<br /><br />@We Fly Spitfires: I think it's entirely unreasonable to even suggest that any MMO players might be insecure or lacking in manners.Klepsacovichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07915576683657376929noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5462978744516866472.post-30686465087916342132010-10-04T16:23:33.098-05:002010-10-04T16:23:33.098-05:00Well said.

People now seem to have no tolerance for being less than perfect (which is ironic because WoW has a lot of leeway for performance variations) and have no problem letting others know about it. I guess it's just either an insecurity thing or a manners thing. It also seems a little sad that very few people seem to play just for the pleasure of playing these days... everyone's in a rush to level up and gain loot!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5462978744516866472.post-41451474614138851102010-10-04T14:11:16.661-05:002010-10-04T14:11:16.661-05:00I'd call the Trolls stupid for all their anti-...I'd call the Trolls stupid for all their anti-elitism, but all I have to go on is their constant stream of badly written and ill-thought out anti-elitism propaganda. Wait... that's more than enough to justify calling you stupid.<br /><br />Calling elitists stupid for negativity is lazy thinking. Why not just call them elitists? That's a negatively loaded term that says what you want to say much more clearly than "stupid". Oh, wait, you DID call them elitists. As usual, your multiple levels of sarcasm have confused you into thinking that you've avoided hypocrisy. There is no real difference between you calling them elitists, and them calling you a moron. Oh wait, you think they're only calling other people morons. oops.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5462978744516866472.post-66292131673792120612010-10-04T13:29:03.050-05:002010-10-04T13:29:03.050-05:00Today I done bitched at the Nobel Prize committee,...Today I done bitched at the Nobel Prize committee, but I were good and didn't call thems lazy-arsed stoopid noobs.<br /><br /><br />Even though they is.Ratshaghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12111084510465688124noreply@blogger.com
