No, I seem unimpressed by pretentious forum posts whose authors appear to exhibit a celf-centred worldview in conjuction with a shallow, emotion-based surrogate of an analysis with a supposedly moralising and definitive verdict.
Why don’t you go to some topics about Ranked Standard and share the breaking news that Naxx has been released?
You know, I can nearly immediately tell the feedback on an actual player (like this or even on Old Guardian’s channel [1] — there are often good and rather critical points raised there, easily recognisable by someone more or less familiar with the game, in my view; by the way, I’ve written about some of them, too, but what of it — this is mostly a forum of ‘writers’, not readers, isn’t it?) from somebody who has, as said, just dropped in to share their undoubtedly insightful opinion?
Yeah, being completely playable F2P, unlike some others I could mention.
Well, there are probably many things that you don’t get, what of it?
If one looks at some data about the popularity of different game modes [2], which is gathered from one deck tracker (Firestone) and may not represent the whole player base, however, it shows some trends consistent with other sources and thus might be considered more or less plausible [3] , then it’s quite clear that Mercenaries is mostly about PvE, at least in terms of popularity, which seems to have been the idea in the first place.
Oh, and every one of these persons described there — I’ve lost count of them on this forum, actually — is clearly special and unique, with the world revolving around them personally.
Hate to break it for you, but these are your personal problems, really.
Yeah, I’ve seen a small army, as reiterated a few times already, of this kind of posters. What you all probably don’t realise is that your posts, so similar both in form and content, generally look like this: ‘I once dated a boy/girl from X, even spent 20 coins on a lunch together, however, later he/she dumped me (we broke up). I am so frustrated and disappointed, thus it is clear that boys/girl from X are trash, and I cannot possibly undestand why would someone even come close a boy/girl from X’. About the latter part especially — I could nearly litreally link a handful of examples written according to this pattern, but don’t really feel like it now.
Which is, again, the same kind of ‘expert’ (read: clueless bypasser’s) analysis that I keep mocking. Compare it to something more proper [4], for example (I’ve written about it too, but don’t feel like self-citing too much here).
