Despite the poo show in SA, its a net exporter of electricity, it borders countries like Zimbabwe and Angola, good luck finding a way to get power from them. They are worse off than SA.
Maybe you should go over there and fix it for them then! It’s clearly not complicated or difficult. And clearly people aren’t trying cos “theres always a solution!”. All those millions whose lives are really badly impacted by this never considered trying to fix it
The power utility only has $22 billion of debt…
I was using the UK because thats where I am currently, as an example of a “first world” country with a stable infrastructure and electricity supply. Insert any other country at your convenience instead of being so literal.
‘‘The shortfall is the consequence of frequent breakdowns at its ageing coal power plants , which constitute 74% of the country’s generating capacity. In theory, improving the performance and reliability of the existing coal plants would resolve the power crisis’’
one google search. it could easily be fixed. why do wow players suffer because of it . like i said and gave an example we all have different problems i don’t live in a first world country myself either. also making this change would improve their gameplay too since they won’t have people randomly leaving because they wanted to . it’s a win for everyone except people who leave dungeons because they don’t ‘‘feel it’’ .
i know i sound cruel here but that’s not my intention.
are we gonna talk about south africa’s internal affairs here ? as two outsiders ? you pointed out an issue and i saw that it could easily be fixed and i’d support if there’s something i can do. however i don’t see how that is the reason why m+ system should not have a punishment for leavers. they can make something like getting - ratings and people who have power outages could appeal for that with the proof from their electricity provider that says there was an outage. i know negative rating isn’t the best solution but it’s just one .
you’re the one talking from a first world country here, i can actually understand what they’re going through , like i said we have our own problems here . you on the other hand twisting the topic to a very irrelevant point.
lol no i meant like a gofundme etc. games are not the way to do that.
Only somewhat functional solution for people with frequent outages would be those power bricks for PC. Tho i am not sure if it can to power long enough under gaming conditions.
I grew up in South Africa, I was educated there, I did military service there. I speak some languages from there. I’ve worked there. I have close family there.
Tell me again how much I do and don’t understand about whats happening there?
did you save that info until this point for a specific reason lol. we wouldn’t waste this much time with this conversation… if you think there’s nothing a regular person do to help them then i’m sorry. still doesn’t change my mind about the topic tho since it’s just a game mode . i may not be able to renew my sub this month and that’s okay i just won’t play it . i don’t take my issues about the game serious enough to care about others problem in game since we experience so much more important problems in our daily lives like people there do too. without a deserter option/report etc. it’s unfair to people who don’t abandon keys.
I think you are onto something.
I was thinking more like a black mark next to their name that is account wide (aka leaver debuff) that stays at least for a day.
I am pretty sure something like that would de-incentivise leavers. If they leave, they will have a hard time finding another group anytime soon.
People with a legitimate reason will have to take the loss since they were busy. One day isn’t much and leaving is leaving. It still breaks a key. No matter the reason it should have a penalty.
But you take them seriously enough to want to get people banned…
Honestly… stop being so petty.
If you fail your key start another one…
Stop crying about it.
If you get this upset over a video game you need to go get something else in your life…
Then play with friends, who know, or tell a group beforehand. There is an expectation in M+ that people at least try to time it. If you ruin every 3rd key for example due to power outages, then you’re simply griefing and simply should not play M+ with strangers. There is no entitlement you have for knowingly joining a group, when you know you can DC at any time with high probability. If you cannot play it without ruining the experience of others, then you shouldn’t join the M+ key of other people. You can always either do your own key, or you can play with friends. At least, if you play your own key, you bear the risk yourself.
If someone ruins every 3rd key, or a similarly high number, they should be banned from playing M+ for the rest of the season, and I don’t care what the reason is. I’m talking about frequent repeat offenders. Not about people doing it sporadically for semi-valid reasons.
There’s a far higher rate of people frequently ruining keys because they don’t press interrupts or defensives.
Why should they not be banned? They’re ruining the keys all the same but they’re actually there and actively doing it.
I tried my hand at a +22 freehold, we have 2 pulls left, 7 minutes left and we wiped. Why did we wipe? Because the second squall went uninterrupted, only the tank interrupted the first one.
We come back and we die to the same thing again. Key gone. Because DPS aren’t pressing interrupts. Why should they not be banned if this is a frequent thing?
It’s a competitve game mode with rating. I’m not saying they should be banned from playing wow. They should just be banned from this game mode, if they just play to leave most keys. It’s a video game. The same should happen with Solo Shuffle, when someone leaves too many solo shuffle games.
they could simply be bad at their gameplay which means they don’t ruin others gameplay on purpose like leavers.
again, they could easily be bad and boosted to that level. that doesn’t mean blizz should let random people ruining everybody’s keys
if iwould call you petty i’d get a 3 day ban here but you won’t face anything ofc.
i don’t care about them i care about gameplay here. not the same thing
They are not petty about failing keys . Non of them here are because they fail their keys.
They are all petty because people refuse to carry them in keys or because people refuse to carry someone they invited when they were cresting groups.
That’s the core of problem - they are furious when peopel refuse to boost others for Free and Blizzard is clearly supporting the forcing people into Free carried
