Title. I had one of the funniest conversations in my life today when someone admitted to running multiple raids thousands of times over the course of a decade without getting either of the drops they’d been farming for, while simultaneously trying to say Blizzard respects their time, without a hint of self-awareness.
Anyone else have any funny experiences with stockade syndrome players? It’s weird to see WoW players who don’t realize that this isn’t the norm and it doesn’t have to be this way. I know the thread title is slightly different but this really made my day, truly phenomenal.
There’s not much luck protection built into the game, and that should be acknowledged, but I also find it helpful to not want things so desperately. If I happen to want to listen to a podcast, run an old raid, and a mount drops, then great, if not it’s whatever.
I’ll be honest: it isn’t a subscription-based game’s job to respect your time. Never has been, never will be. WoW, FFXIV, nothing really “respects your time.”
If they did respect your time then they will only count the hours you spend logging in playing the game and not when you are offline for subscription cost
1 month sub should be 720 hours of playtime and not until a month is past.
There is literally not one single thing in this expansion that respects your time. Doesn’t mean it’s not generally fun to waste it, but some things have felt terrible from start to finish.
It’s a video game, it exists to make you waste your time. Why do you think so many smartphone game are f2p but then lures you in to spend more and more cash to save time?
Most of the time, yes. However, starting since BFA, or rather, towards the end of it with how short lived the N’Zoth Patch. They certainly aren’t respecting my time with how bad things got, multitude of reasons like purposely terrible RNG, things that are intentionally inflated to make it last longer. And their own internal problems that clearly affects the rest of the playerbase as a whole.
And it be a waste of money if they cannot bother “Respecting my time” if they cannot make something feel fun and worthwhile.
I get when somebody likes or love something, they will part their money with it. Where it be WoW or Gamepass. You can do both like you can with FF14. I mean it is just games at this point. I pay for Wow, i pay for Game pass, these are great services in their own right in my personal opinion.
But. When somebody goes out and says “WoW is the cheapest entertainment you will get with $15 dollars”, they ought to be making sure that their standing on a claim is well… accurate. And WoW have 3, soon 4 games here. That is more then any other MMO can provide, but were talking about entertainment, and that covers a boarder topic. On the topic of Video games spefifically, subbing to 400+ games is the better deal, given by the fact that you don’t even need to spend the full $15, $10 will do more then enough. Heck, the first time anybody gets a gamepass, it’s $1.
It’s not discourage you from playing WoW, it’s to simply tell you that GP is the better option given the argument provided. Put simply if you love WoW, then have at it hoss.
Not to be “lecture-imentive” here, but i really do think people should realize that there’s other video games and video games services then just WoW, essentially competing with anything at any given time.
Well you’re in luck because you don’t have to play them on a real hardware. GP essentially has their own streaming emulated version. I was playing Skate 3 on my PC the other day and it was great.
I tried playing Fable 2, but the thing shut off because it thinks i’m AFK when… i wasn’t.
