Interesting graph and thanks for posting. So subs didn’t drop because of LFD, infact they actually still gained subs until the atrocity they call cataclysm was dropped. So I guess the majority must’ve liked or not minded LFD, how strange.
Lmfao at the minority against LFD.
Imagine being that balding guy or aging woman in charge of classic and you decide to change the game when it was at its PEAK. So out of touch.
When I say “it’s not an adventure anymore” I don’t mean “I’m not enjoying it anymore”. I just mean that there’s no more exploration or unknown to be found in said dungeons after having done them for 10+ years. All their size means little but an annoyance when ppl nowadays get into them with a predetermined route involving skips etc. That kind of design was abandoned for a good reason.
You care about WPvP? Good for you. Doesn’t change my stance about it, though. The game doesn’t and shouldn’t revolve around it.
“care about” here means that I care about it just as much as any other aspect of the game: I want others to enjoy it if they like to, I very seldomly participate in it myself (having 143 honorable kills on the caracter in Retail with which I did this). For me the game does so not revolve around PvP in any of its forms, (the reason why all of my toons are on a PvE or RP-PvE server ). But I see and aknowledge that for other people, as Berny, it is the meat and drink of WoW.
People like Berny should find some vanilla private server pre-BG’s if they care so much about world pvp.
Since flying* was introduced world pvp isn’t a thing anymore really, and LFD won’t change that much.
*since BG’s actually. World pvp was alive for a little while in classic then.
If ppl wanted world pvp they wouldn’t be politely hovering on their flying mount waiting for the opposite faction to cap HFP towers so they can cap it after and fly away in peace back to the questgiver.
I always try to start some pvp there but nobody cares really.
It’s not that I find it completely worthless, but the PvE experience shouldn’t be fundamentally changed just because otherwise there’s less ppl around to gank. If they want to gank somebody, there’s plenty of areas where ppl farm regularly in WotLK. Sholazar Basin, the spider cavern in Storm Peaks, Wintergrasp, etc.
But ppl like Berny are just morons who post only to troll. In the end, they’re not worth replying to.
Berny is fun, some of a troll, some of a provocateur, he’s not stupid or resistant to a good argument like some (that will remain unnamed) in these forums
I sure agree. Things shall not be CHANGED in order to cater to one kind of game. This is exactly why I clamour for #NoChanges at any given opportunity.
If you’re aiming at LFD it should be implemented later, but not at launch. Same as Dual spec and all the other things that came later on in Wrath.
Mirage Raceway is a PvE serve, not a RP server
Still LFD should be implemented later, not at launch. Same as Dual spec and all the other things that came later on in Wrath.
For me it should be on release, but I can agree to it beeing introduced in Ulduar phase.
And dual spec should come with prepatch…if u dont do RDF at least dont make ppl life even more miserable by taking away or adding tons of constraints on dual spec.
I dont want to derail too much from the topic, but Dual Spec could at least alleviate the issues with tanks and healers shortage to some degree. Also its 2022 not 2009, we know now a lot more, we have a lot more data. Thats why I am strongly pro Dual Spec since prepatch with no stupid restrictions like 24h cooldown, respec cost or whatnot.
so people are hurrying even more, flaming even more, blaming even more. THIS and not lack of Dual spec is what keeps most tanks from tanking anything but Guild runs.
You just have to hope that enough people will roll DKs to tank for you.
The 1000 G is a one time sum - after that it’s free Only you hvae to be out of combat, not in an Arena or such - and it depletes your mana totally. #NoChanges.
How big is the chance to see the same person again on a mega server? With 30k ppl… It already “crossrealm” with these layer systems… Back then there was no layers, and server capped at like 3-4k ppl.
