So maybe I have heard of him, but not someone I'd remember.<br /><br />@Pathak: I think I see what you're getting at. As I picture it, it's fairly straightforward and more or less says "everyone is much worse than they think."<br /><br />@hyperian: My one big regret: in my imagination the day I canceled my sub Blizzard was about to offer me a job, and then went "meh, quitter" and gave it to the next person in LFD.Klepsacovichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07915576683657376929noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5462978744516866472.post-27584029791292942372011-05-27T08:34:28.180-05:002011-05-27T08:34:28.180-05:00Annnnnnd then Firelands comes how, shit is hard ag...Annnnnnd then Firelands comes how, shit is hard again for awhile, former raiders will rejoice and return. Ive seen a few of his recent posts and they all stated he decided to NOT quit....for a variety of reason im sure, but to instigate arguements ill say its because he gets free beta keys, demos, equipment to test and tons of free press from companies like Blizzard (and or affiliates) and that golden ticket gets burnt to shit if he isnt sporting the WoWage.hyperiannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5462978744516866472.post-23434373337916486832011-05-27T07:45:05.337-05:002011-05-27T07:45:05.337-05:00"If your idea of raiding is wiping 50 times t..."If your idea of raiding is wiping 50 times then..."<br /><br />welcome to progression raiding with heroic/hard modes turned on, is what I'm thinking. But then again, my idea of raiding is a time commitment I can't make to the other 9/24 people in the raid, and I'm certainly not going to waste their time.<br /><br />Mind you, the success of a progression raid isn't measured by the number of wipes, it's measure by the percentage of health that the boss has left when everyone does wipe.<br /><br />I'd like to see the learning curve for some of these folks. And then juxtapose that with their expectation of their learning curve. The adjust it by the average ilvl of the raid for each encounter. XKCD or the Oatmeal probably has something floating around, giving a disparaging comparison between perceived and actual performance.<br /><br />Gah, I've got a cold, and am probably not making a whole lot of sense.Pathakhttp://pathakmalygos.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5462978744516866472.post-51268198397790720632011-05-27T03:00:51.802-05:002011-05-27T03:00:51.802-05:00I must say that not knowing TB is quite a feat the...I must say that not knowing TB is quite a feat these days.<br /><br />I tried to read through the comments on that post but they made my head hurt even more than trying to identify your point in this one ;) The original post of hers was bad enough (Content aside, I just cringe every time I read "would of". Pet peeve of mine I suppose.) but those comments... Sometimes you just need to stop reading and trying to understand what people say on the internet.scrusihttp://procrastinationamplification.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5462978744516866472.post-67006606487629541012011-05-27T02:51:31.821-05:002011-05-27T02:51:31.821-05:00We all know how fuzzy history is - mixed with pers...We all know how fuzzy history is - mixed with personal emotions, nostalgia, wishful thinking and self-affirmation, it's just one version of a million realities with a small grain of truth.<br />was everything better in the past? definitely not. but some things were good. and some even rocked, but for entirely different, unmeasurable reasons (I've actually written about vanilla lately compared to the musical 60ies and I hold to what I said there).<br /><br />any side claiming more or less 'ownership' of truth is silly and patronizing. <br />on the other hand and probably unrelated to this specific incident, I don't get why some people cannot leave burned out veterans to their grumbling a little. it's all oh-so touchy on both sides.Sylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04473554645340972749noreply@blogger.com
