"LOL "changing the model" or words to that effect are the favorite buzzword for for new games. I remember how War was being hailed as the "Next Big Thing" because it was going to "revolutionize", aka change the model of, how PVP was done.

I also remember how both Aion and Rift were both hailed as the "Next Big Thing" because of how they were going to revolutionize", aka change the model of questing, combat, world events, (fill in the blank).

I also think that, if the positions were reversed and it was Korrigan singing the praises of "The Next Big Thing", you would be all over making fun of him and taunting him for it."

Discuss what I said in reply to the thread topic or be laughed at and ignored. Your choice.

You said nothing worth discussing.

Oh how clever Fed! You are truly most original with your childish attempts at insults. What shall we expect next? A "your mama" joke?

All this is about a a set of shoulders and a helm?


I have to think the players are far more shallow than WoW will ever be.


I mean, just recently I spent days trying to prefect my hunters DPS. Then I spent the better part of a week working on my priests enchanting. In between I've been working on leveling a few other alts. (I have every class at L60 or above). I have fun going back into old dungeons I haven't seen in years. Sometimes with appropriate level alts, sometimes with monster 85 just to wreck havoc. I still wonder bug eyed at some of the landscape in WoW and can spend time just looking while I mine or fish or whatever.


I can sit down and find all kinds of things to do in WoW for hours on end, then come back tomorrow and do something totally different.


Do I raid. Sometimes but honestly, I've spent hours with groups, wiping over and over just trying to learn a fight. It gets old after while. Yes, it can be a challenge and exhilarating when you finally down a boss but it can be tedious and frustrating as well. I know in the back of my mind that 3 months from now I can probably come back to the same fight and it will be a piece of cake for what ever reason.


Am I gonna rage quit because I can't get a piece of armor or two? Nope. Think not.
