Draigar is upset that, these days, anyone can have a “good” character in World of Warcraft just by putting in playing time, not by being an excellent player.

Before BC, I had a Grand Marshel Rogue in full epic pvp gear and both the swords.

I had a full T2 priest and a 5/8 T2 hunter. I was in the best raid guild, had top of the line gear (Untill naxx when I said screw raiding) and was a RL of the guild. I was full epics on 3 toon, that was sweet.

Now, every Tom %#@% and harrry has 2 70’s and there both full S1 or some sort of epics.

Sence BC i gave up on being a hardcore raider and pvp just isnt my thing, I got my former GM rogue whos in 3/5 T4 and a alli shammy in 2/5 T4. The only thing Im proud of is haveing 7 70’s.

Back before BC getting epics and being good was hard, now its a joke, not to mention raids are easy mode and you can AFK for epics.

This is why I plan to canncel my account as soon as I finish getting a 70 of every class.

Anyone else feeling how empty wow feels now. It lacks importance and fullness.

Oh and In before angry 12 year olds make fun of how much they think I play, if you have half a brain you can get 1-70 in 3 or 4 weeks.

(Translated, what most of that means is: He had a character who was a priest and a character who was a hunter, both in good equipment, achieved through going on “dungeon raids” in the game. But since the Burning Crusade expansion was released for the game, it is too easy for other people to get good equipment for their characters without neccessarily going on difficult and time-consuming “dungeon raids. “Now he plans to quit the game after he gets a level 70 character in each of the game’s character classes, but will continue to pay the $15 a month fee until he does so.)

Other players respond in various ways. Football is mentioned frequently.

WoW is increasingly becoming a bad game for people who want their game to mean something. The something in this case is “Haha! Look at me! I play this game so much more than you - therefore I have this fancy gear! You will never, ever have it!! DROOL, PEON!!”

This is a good thing.

I dont get it. People can be proud of scoring touch downs in meaning less games like High School Football but soon as someone says that a video game had more meaning to it when you had to put in a decent amount of time in it they say it shouldn’t matter..

Because football is a sport that takes physical training and discipline to be good at. You can’t even compare it to a video game because all you have to do is sit on your fat ass and push buttons.

Training for high school football was about 2 hour practice for 5 days a week, how can you compare that to 4 hours a night in naxx?

Any idiot can push keys on a keyboard. It actually (did) take skill, finesse, and lots of practice to get good at PvPing. Skill used to show, skill used to mean something.

It actually takes time and practice to get good at (most) videogames. And normally it shows.

Now of course just roll a Druid for Arenas and a Hunter for everything else and you can own face by slamming your head on a keyboard.

I can kind of feel you on this, arena really has degraded what epics meant. I mean, look at the difference between people in full t4, and people in full season 1 arena. There are probably 50-60 people in full season 1 arena gear for every 1 in full t4.

There are a ton of people who have acquired a 134 dps two hand weapons through arena, and only a handful who have actual looted them off a raid boss.

It is important that everyone gets to participate and all, but seriously, if every single person in the world had a ferrari would they be cool anymore?? I dont even inspect people anymore becuase there are no epics that excite me, everyone is using the exact same gear.

At no point in the conversation does the question of “are you having fun playing the game?” get asked.
