And to make those scrubs happy, Blizzard gives them "artificial overgearing" in the form of a +15% buff.
Obviously, you're voicing the minority opinion. The majority of WoW players laugh at people like you and call you other names that are no less derogatory, yet probably much more solidly grounded in reality. Enjoy your circle-jerk. It's patently obvious which set of whiners has been more productive.

Hey, at least this time around people like Korrigan and myself and other serious players have convinced Blizzard that they don't need to actually ruin the game in the process of catering to over-entitled and under-talented players, but rather that they need to look for solutions which extend the sliding scale of difficulty (rather than condensing it all up at the "easy" end of the scale).

Bwahahahaha. Now I (somewhat) understand the stupidity. There are people that are under the impression that WoW is a "talent". Oh that's good stuff. Thank you.

Too late for the most part. Based on my guild and the few others I have in game friends with this is too late. Far too many people are gone so I will be curious what their numbers will be come late Feb and March. I mean, my guild which could see 40+ during prime time back in November and such can't even crack 20 now. Similar situations exist with the others I know of.
What does this have to do with you guild not being able to field a group? This is for PUGs isn't it?

WoW doesn't take talent, yet still so many people just suck at the game

WoW takes talent the same way Super Mario Bros takes talent. My mother still sucks at Mario. She has multiple 85s in WoW. /shrug

There is already a sliding scale of difficulty called "gear." Would you say that Icecrown 5-man heroics (PoS/FoS/HoR) were completely retarded easy and, if so, would you say that having folks in gear 40+ iLevels higher than the content affected the apparent difficulty?

What's your explanation for persistent failures if not lack of talent? Is it a physical disability?

Does she find Cataclysm heroics easy? How about Cataclysm raids? Hard-mode raids?

I'm a little confused by this non sequitur. Point is, a lot of people found Cataclysm content too hard and wanted it made easier. In this buff, Blizzard took an approach that made it easier for the people who needed it (PUGs, most of which contain several bad players) without affecting the difficulty for people who didn't need it (organized groups of good players). Are you saying that they should have instead done nothing and waited until gear inflation made the problem go away? I wouldn't have minded that approach, but I know a vocal crowd would have.

All mmorpgs give an opportunity to demonstrate better play. Only an idiot would think otherwise.
The difference with WoW is it rewards you either way. Special little snowflakes shouldn't have their egos bruised by there being "winners" and "losers". Everyone's a winner!
(even the guy who fell down at the starting line, started crying, and was taken off field for his mother to wipe his nose. Don't worry, siujoey, you're still a winner to us!)

Thanks, but it's been fun
Five more minutes then I'm done!
I've been saying that to myself since
...yesterday.

It's a lack of effort, plain and simple. Anyone can be "good" at WoW.
