the numbers don't matter to me if everything remains essentially the same. i've always thought the huge number jumps we've been going through were stupid. why should any of us care if our damage drops to 100 on average instead of 10,000 on average if a typical mob still dies in the same amount of time? po ta to, po tah to. its all the same.

Exactly, if a mob had 100 health and I do 1 damage per swing, it's 1% of it's health.

If a mob has 100,000, and I do 1000 damage per swing, it's still 1% of it's health.

I think the problem with Cata was that health pools jumped by 1000%, yet our damage remained close to the same.

Because big numbers are cool and make me feel special.

You crit for 2.03 x10^7 !!!

I like the idea that our characters are way more powerful than we were in Vanilla. Considering we're taking on bosses like Rag in the plane of fire, and Deathwing now, I would expect the champions doing it were epic geared and had lots of health/damage, etc... However, the exponential rise in stats definitely got out of hand, and I'm for a squish. As long as they do it right, that is.

Never said it was currently a ghostland, nice try though. It is a fact that World of Warcraft has lost a LOT of subscriptions in the past year. Doubtful an expansion about pandas are going to help the cause (after the first few month the xpac comes out) either.

I am still playing myself, however I am not quite happy with a lot of the changes that came with this xpac and I am really unhappy about the next xpac and most of the proposed changes at this point.

Now, if you can make a post without getting all butthurt because someone says something negative about your "precious lil' WoW", come back to the thread. Otherwise sit in the corner with your 10k posts and keep telling yourself that you are special.

Am I the only one who noticed that Blizzard has announced an xpac with tons of changes, yet they STILL have no idea how they are going to deal with the massive numbers due to gearflation?


More proof that Street is a complete retard. This is an issue they should have addressed and should have had a solution before xpac development even began.

There is NO WAY IN HELL blizzard stands a chance of getting this right.


Mark my words, Tuskers WILL be hitting harder next xpac

Completely agree with you my friend!

I haven't read any news on how the squish would effect lower lvl raids that a lot of us solo? Would like I take a monk in the old content and knock the $hit out of it.

Right, because it's a zero-sum game. Oh wait...

If they squish everything or continue the gear/mob inflation it doesn't matter since if they do, it will be a wash. The problem will lie in that they will most likely selectively squish/inflate which will create a very large balancing act which will most likely span at least a year.
