Yeah i was not shocked at all when they said they built that raid for the top 2 guilds.
Because it literally was built for the top 2 RWF guilds lol.
I donât feel like iâm e-sporting when I play WoW
Look what happened with HoTS. Even though it was doing well on a casual front the e-sports failed to make DOTA, or LoL level money right off the bat. so they pulled the plug.
Man, âEsportsâ is such a great trigger word for people. You can say it and everyone gets mad instantly. You can blame every bad thing in the game on it and there will be a good chunk of people just screaming with you, no matter if there actually is a connection or not.
Isnât that the baby version of League?
One of my friend got the highest rank playing just using their feet.
How has this affected you personally? Like specifically. Not a vague gesture to something that may affect someone somewhere some time, but share with us your specific personal experience with being harmed by what youâre talking about.
The âtoxicâ mentality of some people trying to be the best at what theyâre doing⌠The nerve of some people. Lmao god this place gets pathetic takes
I have discussed this topic with guildies before, I am of the opinion that they should have their own server where they can clone their characters to and do whatever crazy tuning/time gating/e-sports shenanagins they like for bragging rights.
Leave the rest of us to enjoy the other 99.99% of the game tailored to us.
But, then theyâd lose out on money!
lmao too late for that buddy
But they have a long track record of making top notch esports games :)))
what would happen is someone would type up 3-4 thought out paragraphs that discuss the topic and that guy would respond ânot reading thatâ. Seen it directly in response to my own posts on these forums. Some people want to argue so hard, they would tell firefighters to leave their burning house alone, in as few words as possible
doesnt take a brain to realise they are shoehorning âesportsâ into aspects of the game that arent even âsportâ worthy activities. Yet they do, and they try hard to promote them with odd sounding names like âgreat pushâ. Something about alot of exertion to give birth to something that has no place in the game
But what about the timers? The CC chains? What will we do without all the frustration?
The only people that care about e-sports are young jaded losers with no goals in life, who think they might have what it takes to be a professional gamer.
Until they finally wake up and realize they donât.
Itâs like when Eminem blew up and suddenly every white kid in the suburbs was a rapper with blonde hair in a white plain t-shirt.
Or becoming a famous streamer.
Or hitting it big in Crypto!
Also building the systems in a game around that, does so much damage to the prospects of a young person, who shouldnât be devoting their entire waking existence to such a fruitless endeavor.
They have all the metrics. They know how many people they have addicted, siphoning their lives away on this game.
But all they can think to do is to lean into it harder.
I honestly wonder sometimes how many of these teen age mass shooters are sweaty tryhards in wow mythic raiding guild who lost their mind after they lost a super rare mythic piece to someone else from the last boss of a s1 mythic raid after not sleeping for 3 days straight to wipe endlessly until they finally kill it.
Itâs not healthy at all and these people turn into straight sociopaths that think they are better than everyone based on their unhealthy status in a video game.
Would sure be nice if Blizzard didnât resort to such depravity for the sake of profit.
Thatâs all I know.
what are you talking about? explain in detail instead of vague empty phrases how this game is made for Esports
Mythic+ is designed to be a timed run, its not made to be an esport. The amount of people that just throw that term out is mind numbing. Imagine being this angry about something you dont understand at all
I would be pretty happy if all âesportâ aspects disappeared from the game.
OP doesnât know what esports actually means.
Is wow even a relevant e-sport? Me thinks not.
Define Esports. There are people struggling with like 2âs on the forum somewhere iâm sure and lfr too.
Oh man, this needs to be a pop up that the game directors have to read every day on their computers.
