Latest Blog Entry - Is it cool to say you hate WoW?
From my blog Heerobya's Random Thoughts [heerobya]
Everyday on these forums, and many others across the interwebs...
I see the exact same posts, nearly the exact same texts.
People tout their hatred of WoW as if it is some great badge of honor. That they are too "good" to be playing WoW, or that their 15 dollars a month is more important and precious to waste playing WoW.
It's like some kind of damn elitest club.
"Well, my opinion should be taken more seriously because *I* don't play WoW."
"I am well above and beyond the maturity and cranial capacity required to play this mindless children's game."
Get the f*ck over yourselves people.
Not liking WoW does not a badass make. You are not unique or special for proudly stating that you don't play the most popular and successful MMO on the market today.
Are you expecting a cookie? Maybe a virtual pat on the back?
People like to say that they are more "hardcore" or "l337" because they play more "complex" or "adult" games like AoC, EVE, or the biggest "OMG I'M SO COOL" game ever, Darkfall.
No one gives a sh!t.
I swear from now on everytime I see this kind of crap I'm going to call you out on it, and I'm going to petition MMORPG.com to add an option to their "Report a Post" feature to include a "Stupidity" button.
BAH!
Need beer...

So don't look them up.
I don't think anyone is forcing you to...
The interwebz sites like thottbot have ruined the MMO experience. It's hard to play a game about adventure and discovery if you have a step by step guide through everything.

- "PvP consequences – the fugitive system" - from Age of Conan newsletter.
It's funny how the best and only FFA PvP system to ever work correctly was 10 years ago with Ultima Online.

- AoC Bug list = Suggestion forum?
I guess I just view techincal support / bug lists as more then polite suggestions.
I just think it sends the wrong message to the players that they classify posts such as these as suggestions.
To me, suggestions would be ideas to change or modify the game for whatever reason. Where as bug fixes and technical problems are issues that need to be resolved because they take away from the playability of the title.
There is a difference, one that I believe is important to recognize.

- AoC Bug list = Suggestion forum?
Thanks for the additional linkage.
Am I the only one who thinks it is complete and total BS that Funcom would view contructive, well written and detailed posts such as these as simply suggestions?
I think it really boils down to the issue of communication from Funcom to their player base. Labeling technical support / bug fixes and "suggestions" really send a bad message to your players.
It's like saying, "we hear you, and we'll think about it, but implementing any/all of these fixes is not something that is high on our list of priorities."
That may not be the truth, but that is how I interpret their message.
What could be higher on their list of priorities then fixing the bugs/technical issues that players are complaining about?
