DrMarks,

all that is known is they don't have numbers they want to brag about.

Hmm..

5%?...7%?....3%?....1.35%?

10%??? 15%????

All still entirely too low.

This "analysis" could have a huge margin of error and still drive the point home.

raid content should be 100% raid-able by EVERYONE who WANTS to do it not by the elite only who pay the same money as everyone else.


And everyone raiding should get the SAME gear again as everyone is paying the same fee.

if they wana make hardcore elite content that only a small% can do then charge them more then everyone else who can see less.

whoa, a post by whiteskull that makes complete sense and that I totally agree with.


The Mayan calendar was right, the world is going to end

I don't raid because ... it sucks.

Playing when OTHER people want you to play.
Being locked onto the computer for 2-4 hours.
Wipes after wipes.
Redoing content over and over again.
Dealing with people who are pissed off for the above reasons.
etc, etc.

While I have quit from WoW and plan to return for the next expansion pack, I have zero desire to raid. I can barely do the instances more than 5 times each before I want to scream and for Cata they upped the difficulty.


Message to Blizztard:
Go back to what you were doing in Wrath of the Lich King and tell those complaining it was too easy to f**** off and quit or wear DS1 armor and do the instances if they want a challenge.

Amen. And release at least 15 5man instances or something. Need variety please thx.

Agree!

I have 4 level 85's I used to do all the weekly raids and daily dungeons in Wrath but I too have zero desire to do Cata raids nor can I stomach the fail & bail Cata heroic dungeons, in fact I think I have done one in the past 5 months.

The Fail and Bail has been common for a while now, people die once and get all pissed off. They also get mad when someone is new to the game or new to 85 and just now has the gear to enter a heroic dungeon and kinda suck at it. I mean not everyone want to sit for hours on YouTube and watch over and over how to defeat every encounter in the game. Some of us want to learn by trial and error. You know back in the early days of gaming (NES and SNES) watching a video on how to defeat a level or boss had a name . . . cheating. Everyone wants it all spelled out When X stad at Y and cast Z. While that is great why not learn it for yourselves. So you die, so you die 20 times, IT IS A GAME not a CAREER. In a Career you don't wanna wipe, you might not get another chance.

I swear 90% of the people on here a friggin whiney punks, you get mad when the raiding is too easy and you down a boss after the patch has been out for 2 weeks, then you get mad when it is too hard. I mean really when does the bi+[hing end. Play the game and have fun, stop being so damn serious about it all the time. I love this game and I do it because it is fun, It is my get away and have some fun, the fact that MMO says 1.35% is all that have completed Fireland well that seems really low as I have seen many others at least on my server that have finished it, I am not one of them but it seems every tuesday or wednesday someone is completeing it.

To all the people that are complaining that they are driving the numbers lower, OK remember they are developing a NEW MMO that they will not talk about in-depth. NO company wants to have 2 giant MMOs going at that same time therefore WoW has to die, it will die. I know that no one wants to hear that and I am sure it will keep going with diminished numbers for a long time, but it will go away at some point in history, I am sure that Titan (if that is what it is called) will take alot of these issues into account, for one I would like to see some Random Dungeons, and by that I mean Dungeons where the layout is different each run, or has 20 bosses and you randomly get 5 of them, so that the dungeon is not the same every single time, but then people will gripe that it is too hard to know exactly where to do and exactly what do to. End point ya can't please everyone.

The point is there is nothing fun about it; nothing dying 20 times and huge repair bills, nothing fun about all the bickering and finger pointing, nothing fun about queing for a long time and having the group get wiped on the first mob and bail etc... etc... etc...

I bet most of that 1.35% that completed Fireland did not find it fun either, in fact I think we should be impressed that there have been that many were able to tolerate it to completion.

The fact is Blizzard caved to the elitists which make up a small minority and it was a monumental mistake by the company, just that simple.
