Blizzard employee: “Whats this?! Wow players are finding ways to level faster?!”
Other Blizzard employee: “We better do something about this!”
Blizzard employee: “You’re right! Anyone have any suggestions on how to fix this problem?”
New guy: “How about we make other ways for players to level their alts? Maybe we could add something actually fun and engaging into the game that helps them level!”
New guy gets thrown out the window
Blizzard employee: “Does anyone here have an actual good suggestion?”
Other Blizzard employee: “How about we just make it to where they cant turn off experience around level 110? That way they would no longer be able to level their friends quickly and they would have to go back to grinding quests!”
Blizzard employee: “Perfect!”
This is what I imagine goes on when they make their decisions.
I hope so. I honestly think this is the worse idea. I refuse to play end game with Ilvl scaling. But I’d like to get as far as I can before I hit 119 and turn off my XP at 119 to complete the content I can.
I probably haven’t posted anything since WOTLK or WOD. I really can’t remember the last time I was even on the forums. I recently came back to WoW and before my month was up, I quit again.
I can’t believe Blizzard would even entertain the idea of putting a stop to ‘Twinking’. I can’t believe how horrible everything has gotten, it’s sickening really and I’ll tell you why.
Video games have been an activity for people to do extraordinary things and to role play extraordinary tales. Games and altering game play have always come hand in hand. Since the days of Game Genie and other methods of cheat codes, people have always wanted to enjoy exceedingly powerful situations. MMORPGs are no different.
Video games are meant for the consumer to enjoy themselves and Blizzard has lost sight of this very basic fact. Video games were never intended to be a second job, or for people to spend their real lives laboring away for a mediocre experience.
Video games were intended for consumers to have an extraordinary experience and to have a blast doing it. Blizzard continually takes away all the enjoyment out of their product and replaces it with gimmicky time grasping concepts which is a tactic that WILL bite them in the behind, in the end.
I’m glad I unsubscribed from WoW and I will never play this game again until they sell off the IP and more sensible people are at the helm. Because the people running the IP right now are nothing more than opportunistic predators.
