EVE General Discussion

Is it just EVE . . . or does every MMO suffer from "You shouldn't have more space ponies than me because you have more intelligence" entitlement? I have a feeling it's particular to EVE because of the solar flares, but I haven't played any other MMOs.

I don't get it. Why do PVPers feel that all content should be available to every player, without patience and without intelligence?

Did I do it right?

removing "of" removes just over 10k of those.

edit: removing "of" also puts one wow video up on featured: from 5 years ago and the next one at the bottom of the page.

I had no problem reading what he posted. Also, I believe he is correct.

I'm bad at that, but that was sarcasm, right?

i fail to see how your post has anything to do with the point being discussed. just posting for the sake of it, i guess?

Yeah, that's LFR. The WoW interactive video mode. Bullshit at its best. That's not the endgame.

You do have competition in WoW PvE and actually it can be quite fun. Even without having to compete at the level of the world's top ten guilds. You can very well compete and have fun on server level.

The problem is, that only people socializing will eventually get there. Because if you do, you come to know and respect those 5% of the server population, who are willing to put in the effort and have fun competing with each other in raids. But it will take time and doesn't happen in just a few months. Some patience is required here.

For the majority in WoW though, that's way too much dedication, effort or whatever you want to call it. Because of that, Blizzard started to make it "easier" to level for all those who were not able to make some friends after the first 20 level in the game. That was back in late 2007 with Patch 2.3. They've introduced feature after feature, nerf after nerf over the following years for players that were not able to get into groups or raids, simply because they could not be bothered to make friends in the game.

None of that works, because a lot of those players are just doing their ego thing in those artificially built groups and the result are endless complaints on the forums by other players concerning player conduct in groups.

Eventually Blizzard made the whole game a solo thing outside of instanced gameplay.

So what happens in the end is, that those players playing the endgame on a server still mostly form a homogenous group. They know each other. And they do not need Blizzards tools to build raids or groups, because they have enough ingame social connections. Still some of them use these tools occasionally. Maybe they have a friend outside of those 5% or they just want to go out and meet new people in the game. It's also a good way to get in touch with potential new raid members.

Over time, some of these people may change server for whatever reason. They get into a competitive raid on another server and are now a potential contact for anyone else following. This way there is even a bridge across servers.

None of Blizzards efforts has really changed a single thing. None of the whiners was able to change anything at the situation by crying. All they achieved, was making Blizzard trash gameplay in most aspects.

I sincerely hope, that CCP doesn't cater to crying.

Well, you are right in one respect here: I unsubbed way before LFR went live. End of game.

mostly because they're too inept to do it. at least here there's a case that there is a tech moon issue unlike in WoW where "don't stand in the fire" is a bit more than people can manage.

Apparently gamers are self entitled little bitches.

Including me.

You lie sir! Just yesterday I conquered Tribute by multi-boxing 100 Rifters, I just pretended I was goons and everyone ran away.
