/ignore Jackass-Sistersofelune would ignore people from another server.
Alt codes could get narsty, but that's the bricks of it.

I get what you're saying...I never did much outside of guild though. I think it would be a little better if the LFG was by server.

Now you don't even have to socialize to find a guild, The game has become somewhat impersonal over the years, but I get some social interaction in my guild.

It would greatly help if Blizzard instead of redoing every class every expansion simply built off of previous expansions. Every total redo they completely create new problems they seem to have no idea how to solve.

Its one thing to gradually change the game. Its a completely different thing to change how everyone plays every few patches or expansions.

People in general are creatures of habit and familiarity. They do not like massive--especially unneeded or wanted--changes. I was warning about this a couple of years ago when Wrath hit and reshaped everything and then many of the subsequent patches.

It is one thing to evolve classes. Its another to just steamroll them every few months to a year. After playing a game for four or five years I'd expect to be able to have long mastered a class. If I'm going to be forced to relearn after all of that time invested, then, as a player, after so many times I start thinking about why not start over in a new game?

I dig that Selebrin. The changes keep the game from getting stale, to me.

Well, yes. What I'm trying to say that I think is the cause, is that WOTLK made a lot of stuff easier; not in a Bodhi sense of 'everything but Yogg+0 and LK25HM is **** easy', but in a sense of 'normal raids are something everyone can do with ease'. This hauled in new people while all normal players got used to the relative ease of the content. Cataclysm made content a bit harder again. I don't want to say raiding is terribly hard right now, but people could ding 85 and actually wipe in heroics, and raids are even a step above that. I think that's what has put most people off who were used to having an easy time in heroics and easy access into raids.

Basically, the way I see it, Blizzard kind of dug their own grave when they decided to make Cata a tad harder after the complaints on WOTLK's easymode. It's kind of ironic, because I for one liked the change.

What coin-flip mechanics do you have in mind? Only thing I can think of that's currently much to sensitive (though still a skillcheck) is Venoxis for melee due to odd hitboxes on his breath and the ground poison.

VVVVV Fire is hot. I saw it on da interboards.

Wrath was fun, 10 zones, Dalaran, tourney, questing, hard mode, pvp, easy purple, cooking , fishing, "For the Horde" war bear raid, grinding for tiger mounts, Wintergrasp, special pets (hunter), Lost time proto drake, eggs , 20 mins heroics and LK himself.

Cata is fail, playing Russian roulette with classes and wait for 4.2 to make us grind RBG'S for conquests...they are killing us! Bring sexy back please Mr. Blizzard, i want to have FUN!

Look at Alla WOW forum, can't find 1 thread about how fun Cata is. Nothing to talk about except beer and boobs.

I'll trade Ulduar for the entire Cata expansion in a heart beat! At least we were talking about the game in WOTLK, Cata is so boring that we can't even make a thread about it (just derailed ones).

You say nothing changed and that's a problem. JDLKY says that all the changes are hurting the game.

Two men enter, one man leaves!

I am pretty sure Fish and I are talking about 2 different things. My emphasis is on the mechanical and Fish it seems to me is more oriented on the aesthetics.

In my opinion Ulduar was the best raid Blizz has made that I was a part of as current content.

Most of the grumbling about Cata is people remembering being overgeared in late Wrath with the only raid being nerfed heavily and forgetting how hard stuff was at first. Even now the non-Zandalar heroics are zerg fests, heck even most pulls in ZA/ZG are now that people understand how they work.

The derailing of threads is largely do to a lot of long time posters (who aren't as active in the game) derailing threads after the questions have been answered. That and its fun to do.
