Doing BGs is about the only thing I feel like doing as of late. Problem is (like always) it is heavily populated with people looking for an easy buck. People that want gear but, do not want to work for it.

Maybe, just maybe.. if it was a little more hardcore people would try. -shrug-

Two cents rant of the day!

How can they call it common sense when it isn't very common

And the dumb-it-down, give me everything whether I win or lose, special snowflake generation checks in.

OP is absolutely right. Far too late for that now, though.

you're a moron.

I work in real life and have for 24ish years, I play a game to have fun and relax. You're just part of the my pixel is better than you're pixel epeen generation. I bet you think tedious = difficult as well.

Then you run into the problem of 20 hour queue times to play with the 15 people that actually enjoy this games pvp. Not only would people stop doing it just because there are no rewards once you were behind you would be behind forever due to the gear scaling and those people would stop playing too because they could never catch up.


It's obvious that people that want easy and free gear is a problem with wow but no rewards doesn't solve anything and only makes them worse. would you rather have a 2 minute queue and get something for losing or a 2 hour queue just to lose and get nothing?

WoW is just a reflection of what we got going on today in the United states everyone's a winner you can't get a F in school even if you do nothing at all you still pass and if you play football and your team gets beat 60-8 both teams still win...

Yeah yeah, we've all heard this before. The fact you have a job in real life has somehow convinced you you are entitled to everything in the game whether you earn it or not. Nothing new there.

Wrong on both counts, you special little snowflake you!



"Games shouldn't take effort" people like Myk are responsible for every bit of dumbing down of every form of entertainment in the entire world. As I've said before, the absolute worst plague of self centered cancers on the mmorpg scene are the over-entitled casuals. They are the worst thing to ever happen to fun games.

The dumb-down version of alterac valley kind of annoyed me. Before, it had that Warcraft 3 feeling. Then some day, this stupid race thing happened where nobody really is out for nobody but just rushing to the boss NPCs.

But yeah. "It`s too late".

That pvp warcraft effect is just gone. Any idea of improvement would require us to be working at Blizztard :/

I leave it as it is as we (or at least me) would end up in that "dead horse" syndrome.

Old school AV was the most fun I've ever had in pvp since daoc. They ruined it.

As for the guy who blabla's about work and being casual or whatever, well, clearly the only mmo you'll ever succeed in is wow or some mirror image of it. If you took that attitude to any of the older mmo's you'd be that rr2 I would kill inside of a stun. You'd eventually get tired of dying so much because you only had like 30 seconds a day to advance your toon and quit, making the community way better for the rest of us who feel like effort should equal reward, and no effort should equal no reward.

Thought arena was for the pro pvp players ?
BGs are for scrubs n casuals.
Oh yes and the good old days when every part of a game was a time sink and you had to dedicate half your life to achieve anything lol.
Tbh all you get from sitting on your arse all day behind a computer screen is fat and maybe rsi.
So working hard to an early grave is a fitting reward.
