the game is currently being directed at people being dependent on guilds for a comfortable level of ease of play.

Randoms are risky and often suck due to poor communication abilities and anyone that is new will make a 5 man difficult.

The solution is to run with guildies. That's how it will stand until enough people over gear the heroics to carry the scrubs and the newbies. It's the current state of the game.

I am not sure what level bracket you are speaking at. If you are talking about just end game content you may be a little more correct, however I run randoms all time and most of my expiriences are good. Sure you get some nightmare groups that stand out, for the most part though random groups are fine.

I think it's more about the raw consumption of time per session that the changes have wrought overall for the average PUG'er. How difficult the content is now is pretty subjective, though GC has stated that those complaining are essentially correct. All about perceptions and the actual tangible effects on playtime. I'd imagine the vast majority don't read the forums, or really engage the community at all beyond in-game, and whether they think it's too hard or not they're being affected by the long queue times, cut throat PUGs kicking undesirables, in progress and abandoned runs, etc.

I actually did some runs last night on my warrior. We had a pally healer that was extremely good. Even on boss fights he never went below 75% mana. I don't know how he did it. Noone died and it was smooth. If I could marry a healer like that, tanking would be fun. The DPS were non-retarded as well.

This run surprised you I take it?

or just make friends and go with them to a dungeon or whatever.

still dont get it when ppl want to play a mmorpg like a single player game and complain on the other hand if they have to wait to get into groups with other "single-player"....

There's a WHOLE lot of self entitlement in this thread. Most of you, even the ones I like, need to pull your heads out of your asses and realize it's a f*cking game.



Hail Hail.. I cant understand how some of you dorks (with love) get so proud/disgruntled/pissed/arrogant/red assed/purple faced/bent/twisted/nerd raged/ etc etc etc over a video game.

One thing is clear to me, this game holds WAY too much weight in some of your lives.

I bet the guy that invented MMOs is rolling over in his grave to see that his invention has been turned into an evil, drama filled vehicle for the socially impaired. *throws down mic and stomps off ala Syrus*

Stop trying to make sense - it's not popular around here...

...but...but... <sputter>.... without decent content, we gotta find our fun SOMEWHERE!...


As for that guy rolling over, he's rolling in laughter! He just PvP'd a whole generation of gamers and won!

There are those who play tank classes, and those that tank.
The weapon is only as good as the person wielding it.
Free advice is often worth what you pay for it: nothing.

Well that guy is seriously OP'ed and should be nerfed in his grave. He's probably a damned Feral.
