They're called "inns" and afaik they've always been there, though they sorely lack the 1080p digital TV experience.

I quit playing WoW when I got tired of the same regurgitated crap. I don't need to play or try Cataclysm to make an informed opinion based of the hundreds of reviews that have come out, much less just looking at all the class changes.

So from the statement I just made and the statements you are continuously making I'm either a loser for paying to play a game I know I already dislike or I'm a loser for not paying to play content I haven't play, yet already know I would not like it as it has been echoed here and on the official forums as well after 60 it's the same damned thing I left before.

but yea fellow, keep on rocking your own world where only you can have your own opinion and everyone else is some fool or idiot. The rest of us can accept your posts for what they are, and that's very biased crap.

1- Pay Korrigan, Spooky, Arc, and others who frequently have differences in opinion $1000 each to settle their differences in the cage.
2- Charge pay-per-view rates to view said brawl.
3- Profit.


Edit: for the record, Korrigan- I think you are ignoring the most likely scenario, which is that WoW is the best game out now. (By a fairly wide margin IMO and arguably the most polished MMO ever on the market.) It is not, however, perfect. "Whining" in an attempt to voice what is wrong with the game and sharing ideas on ways to improve the game does not mean someone does not like the game. It means there are things they would change.

Stop right there.


I, too, quit World of Warcraft--before Wrath of the Lich King in fact. I did not venture on these boards with secondhand knowledge. As such, I did not offer much if anything here.


Because?


The game is nothing like it was when we played it. I speak about the game now because I am playing it now.


Yes, you can offer your opinion. But it must be your experiences. If you take a talking point or an opinion about the game from someone else, you are talking through someone's else mouth and make Korrigan's point.


And let's keep it real people. We know who trolls these forums. Keep it on topic as it actually has merit.


Yes, shocking I know.

Ummmmmm, yeah...... you do. If you form an opinion based on other reviews of an expansion that isn't even out yet, I can think of many words to describe your opinion, but "informed" is not one of them.

That's why I made a big difference between those who post constructive critics from time to time about things they disagree with, and whiners who complain about every single thing Blizzard makes. Anyone unbiased (aka not taking side with the trolls) reading these forums will know who I'm talking about.

Of course if we want to use the word "stupid", I can't think any of anything more stupid than continuing to read a message forum that makes one constantly butthurt because one doesn't like what people are posting.

Then whine incessantly about what people are posting on said forum so that everyone gets a big laugh at one's expense.


Of course since stupid is as stupid does, the one being stupid surely would never grasp the irony of any of this.


But wow it sure helps pass the time on an otherwise boring day.

No, the funniest part is that if I had even half as many "critiques" (as the people he is referring to) for something I do for fun as a hobby, I would find a new hobby.

That depends entirely on what it is he is referring to. A great deal of WoW has NOT changed over time, and other parts are the same in Cataclysm as they are in WotLK.

One doesn't need to experience questing in Cat to give an opinion on it if their opinion is that WoW style quest grinding is boring, for example. Does it matter if the specific quests are different? Of course not, it's still exactly the same thing.

Personally, I restrict myself to theoretical things when I am unsubscribed, as I am right now, or references to things that haven't significantly changed since I WAS subscribed. But someone doesn't need to be a betatester or be subscribed to have a valid opinion on things they've already experienced elsewhere and aren't changing much. Good example: the endgame dynamics (the emblem system) - with Cat not out yet I haven't experienced it directly, but it is nearly identical to WotLK's, which I despised, and the few differences I've seen look like they make it even worse, not better. Got no problem giving opinion on that and don't really care if it bothers people or causes them to post flames.

Perhaps, this is true to a certain degree as you suggest. But when one admits to speaking someone else's talking points, it becomes questionable.


Opinions can vary and change.


For example, I did not believe the leveling was faster. Yet, I indirectly found myself switching my argument and conclusion with my own response.


The experience in the game made that much clear. I couldn't speak otherwise on this topic if I didn't have the experience.


Yes, leveling is much faster. Way too fast? I don't agree with that, but again . . . point taken.


Experience matters. It matters a lot, but does depend on the topic.


On this topic?


Absolutely.
