How do you "feel the pain of mob stealing" in WoW?  The first person that attacks it, it is locked to them.  Others can attack, but you get the exp and loot, so no one is stealing any mobs from  you.

Haters gonna hate.

I agree with poster above.  You said you are not taking this addon seriously, yet, you feel you are objective enough to write an article on it?  How are we suppose to take the article seriously?

So far, I think MoP has been pretty good.  New features, lots of exploring to find new things that you are not led to, tons of new quests, etc.  Its been pretty solid so far.

*snickers*  these WoW killer threads are great.

popcorn nom nom nom

But, But, But this game was so awesome and was the WoW killer.  Now they cant even get subscriptions so have to give it away.

Yeah, I was in beta test (forget the game) and came here and said the game sucked and not sure anyone would play it.  I got my post deleted and a warning.  Its kinda pathetic.

I think crafting in Vanguard was done very well. 

I hope its better than the first.  It was horrible.

Million hours?  Highly doubt it.

If you are unemployed it's entirely your own fault.

Yeah, I was laid off 2 weeks ago.  Its entirely my fault that my company decided to downsize. 

Your an idiot.

Hey, Nancy Pelosi says that spending $1 on unemployment creates $2 for the economy.  And she used to run the House of Representatives!  Which, actually, explains a lot.

Pelosi is the biggest moron on the planet.

Usually when people sell items, they try to put the price the same, or slightly lower than the other person that is selling it, dropping the prices. 

They dont say "Hey, hes selling that chest piece for 150, so im going to ask 175!"

Im tired of hearing about people bitch about gold farmers.  Who cares.  It doesnt hurt your game, and it doesnt hurt anyone else.  You are just pissed because its something that you cant do.  That gold is in the game regardless, so who cares if someone pays real money for it, or if they go out and farm for it themselves.  You wouldnt know either way.  The gold is already in the game, who cares how the person obtains it.

Not true at all about not hurting other players. It does hurt them, especially casuals because gold farmers usually set the economic rates, they inflate prices. Gold farmers are the reason the economies in games are sooo bad. They also hurt players by farming nodes more faster then real players who are doing it for their own advancement, not for hoarding to sell.

 

The gold is already in the game, the gold is there. 

Wrong man wrong, the gold is not there. Currency has to be made by doing kills on creatures or questing. You can't say the gold is there already because it is not handed and distributed evenly to everyone when they enter game. You have to work for it.

So your saying if someone goes to a site and purchases gold, they have to wait for the seller to go out and kill things to get the gold before its handed over to the buyer? Wrong.  The seller already has the gold, therefore it is already into the game

the gold is not already in the game, the game ads +1 to the code every time someone loots a new spawn. 

now you have botter gettin incredible ammounts of gold generated by the game. and for 2$ you can get 1 billion gold. 

now merchants see that people have lots of money to spend! they are buying it (because they do buy it else gold farming would not be a problem) so they raise their prices for their wares. so now a basic rookie pistol is worth 100 000 gold. now a newbie starts the game with a stick and goes out to do quests and missions... alright, first mission payout 20 gold.... that will be a long road to get that BASIC weapon for 100 000$ but by the time he will get to NEED the next tier weapon, it now costs him 2 million gold. ... at some point he will have A to buy his 2 billion gold from the farmer to het his basic weapon or go play another game because he cant go forward without a new weapon and he will definitively not do 20 000 times the same quest for 20 gold a pop. 

so yes, it hurts THE GAME, it hurts YOUR GAME and it hurts EVERYONE playing the game. 

at some point in SWG ( a bit after the NGE) things where worth millions while the missions gave payouts of 5000-10 000 

the only way to stop inflation problem is to increase the prices of NPCs and Missions according to the inflation on the server.

The longer the game is out, the cheaper things get, its like that in every game.  The more people that play, does not make prices go up, it has the opposite affect.

I stoped playing WOW back in late 08....I just came back to the game to try Cata. To my surprise my account had been hacked and used a a gold sellers account. I never once had a keylogger on my system or did anything to get on on my system. I am also an IT spec. So to say that I do not know about net security would be far from the truth. I was not able to get anything back from my account other than 250g from blizzard and new lvl 80 gear for one of my characters. I honestly belive that it is from within blizzard maybe an employee selling user information for inactive accounts. Because other then that I do not know how they would have obtained my information for an account that has not been used by me for over a year. Blizzard told me that they used a hacked CC to activate my account back in mid 2009 to use my account for selling gold. 

If you had a keylogger, you wouldnt know.  Even if you are in IT, such as myself, you never know what kinda new thing pops up

I love people saying "buying gold will get your account hacked".  Unless your stupid and use the same email address and password on the gold buying sites, your not going to get hacked from buying gold.   Chances are you installed an addon or something that has a keylogger in it.  And you dont have to "buy" an authenticator, you can get them free on smartphones etc.

OK rant time.

I hate invasion of privacy in mmos.

I hate inspections, I hate that every pos asshat needs to see what i've done in game before hand.

From WoW to Eve some dickhead wants to see my stuff!

Well it's mine (or atleast until you kill me for it). Dont ask what i've done, dont try to find out my spec, my skill training its all personal information. Don't look at the stats on my gear, fuck!!!! I don't even want you to know what my class or skill template is!!!

The less you know about what I do in my video game the better.

All of these asshat programs like WoWs gear score and stupid fucking armory's are so lame. Why do you need to know?

If i was a knight would you walk up to me and tap on my armor to see its thickness or check how sharp my blade is? would you ask around and see who I killed? no of course not because if you touch or even ask about my stuff I would kill your ass.

A lot of these developers think their delivering a service to players by publishing information of every ones characters on the net, taking away players privacy. Giving the elitist pricks ammo to be even bigger douche bags.

I work hard for my stuff and instead of using crappy mechanics to sneak a peak at my stuff or achievements in a game maybe you could be a god damn human being and get to know me first and just ask.

Its pretty simple imo.

"hey what dungeons have you beaten?" FU!

Hey whats your Api? FU!

Hey Why are you using that spec? FU!!!

 

Its all bullshit and I hate it. I tell my friends and decent people that are willing to socialize what spec I am or what im training and what adventures i've been on. some ass hat that wouldn't give me the time of day shouldnt be able to just right click me and see my shit or visit a site and pre judge my gaming capabilities.

So I say fuck the man! and no!!! You can't see my stuff!!!!!!!!!!

 

*Rant off*

 

 

 

 

I rarely post here, but after seeing this, I had to.  Seriously, why the fuck do you care if someone looks at you?  Who cares.  Its nothing more than you thinking you are better than everyone else.  If you dont like people looking at you, dont play the fucking game and go back to playing hello kitty.

I totally loved Vanguard when it came out.  But the game just got to the point that even at level 25, it takes you a year and a day to level, its boring, same quests over and over and over.  Lots of graphic glitches (2 pc's, 2 different video cards).  The game had potential but I dont know where that went.
