I’ve heard this excuse used over and over for everything from faction inbalance, to group finder, to dungeon boosting and so on. This excuse is a catch all for a lack of real points and needs to die a quick death.
I agree that the 30 runs a day is a lot and most people are getting mad when the reality is that the vast majority of the community are HIGHLY unlikely to even get near 10 a day. People farming specific dungeon pieces being exceptions, but once they get those pieces, they stop. But using tired, baseless and subjective fear-mongering statements like this doesn’t help.
Anyone that honestly believed Classic would be in any way the same as it was in 2005 was lying to themselves. You can’t erase 15 years of knowledge and access to that knowledge. Nor can you control the way people will use it. Those familiar with the D&D scene will tell you that meta-gaming is a big no-no, and unfortunately WoW Classic and any other subsequent versions of Classic, be it TBC or Wrath will suffer the same way as Classic did. Not because Blizzard is some god awful evil corporation sitting in a giant boardroom plotting the demind of the #nochanges people, but because we know what’s coming, we know what’s on offer and we know what’s the best for us. It’s because the players created their own problems.
An example;
Players KNOWINGLY overloaded servers to one faction. PvE servers this isn’t a big deal, but for PvP servers, those same players now whine about how Blizzard is to blame, despite numerous warnings, and free transfers to other servers. This was met with dumb comments about an empty world and dead servers when a low pop WoW Classic server is still greater then a FULL Vanilla one.
A 30 dungeon discussion can take place, but let’s not sully it further (it’s already a crap show tbh) with baseless crap like that because it adds nothing to the conversation. At the end of the day Blizzard is far from perfect and makes their fair share of mistakes, but the communities insistance to force their subjective opinions on how to best spend their playtime, needs to stop, and stop now.
If you don’t like min/maxing, then don’t do it. But you have zero right to criticize those that do take that time to do so. Just as they have no right to criticize you.
This community is full enough with people making things up to push their agenda and bully other people, don’t be part of the problem, be part of the solution.
Starting a post where you insult people by saying that if you play beyond a certain arbitrary point that you created, is bad karma and makes you look like a tool. But so does ending by claiming “we nerds” don’t realize the point you’re making. You’ve now spread malicious, false information, placed your subjective opinion of how people should play on the reader… 3 times. And insulted them in the opening and closing remarks.
I’d ask ‘How dare you?’ but my guess is that you genuinely don’t care to listen outside of your own echo chamber.
