I'm not buying the "meaningful choices line"

I mean it kind of isn’t when you are trying to compare a video game to the outside world lol.

I mean it’s pretty irrelevant when comparing world to world. Like, not relevant at all lol.

Oof, all we need to do is go back in the thread to show that’s incorrect.

I’m not saying that both worlds are 100% the same, I’m saying there are similarities between both worlds.

Selectively honing in on just the non comparable aspects doesn’t prove your point. That is called confirmation bias.

Which is irrelevant lol.

No, I’m pretty sure everything was confirmed when you made the statement saying WoW and the outside world are similar. Fun fact: they are not.

Relevant.

Similar, not the same. There is a big difference. Look it up on merriam Webster.

Not a fact just your asserted skewed opinion.

It’s not, sorry.

I suggest you do the same because they aren’t similar either.

Actually it is a fact lol.

Players will still have tons of moment-to-moment loadout changes available to them. The ability to customize yourself to a situation will remain, as will the ability to have higher performance due to your loadout.

Okay. Please explain.

You dont even address the idea directly that humans are in both worlds given that instantly crumbles your assertion there is not similarity or likeness.

People fight and die using swords, shields, axes, armor, maces in both worlds.

Maybe they dont do that today but they did in human history.

That doesn’t equate to both worlds being similar. If you want to talk about the individual assets in WoW, we can do that, but that doesn’t make the world’s similar in any way, sorry. Nothing in the outside world behaves like WoW, literally nothing.

Yet there is a similarity in those two instances I provided that you won’t address directly because you are willingly ignoring it to push a narrative.

I literally just did address it:

I’m not sure what narrative I’m trying to push other than there is a clear and undeniable delimitation between the outside world and WoW. Once again, I find it highly troubling that you would believe the opposite.

I love when people try and compare faction or class to expansion systems. They systems that are now being called “meaningful choice” have always been changeable. People buying into these as “meaningful choice” are actually buying into the “repeat content on different characters to increase time played while we call it 'meaningful choice” line.

Commerce is driven by players controlled by real world humans in the game the same as commerce in real life is driven by humans.

Recruiting people for a high end position is the same in the real world and the game.

The way that guns function in WoW has the same function as old world guns in the real world.

Your argument is indefensible.

Are we now trying to compare the economy of the outside world to WoW? I’m not a financial expert but I can guarantee that you won’t be getting far with this one lol.

No, it really isn’t.

Whoa, most definitely not true in the slightest lol. Like, what?

My argument is based on facts, yours is nonsense and fantasy.

This is what I said

Commerce in every world is driven by the consumer. All economies have a consumer population.

Dont attempt to talk past the point.

Verifiably wrong.

Opinion.

I didn’t, I asked a question. If you don’t want to answer, that’s fine but if not, we can put this down as irrelevant.

Actually it’s correct.

Facts, sorry.

I see you skipped over the gun part lol. Good call.

Your question is irrelevant to the topic at that moment.

Most guns in WoW operate off a flintlock mechanism. Same way as some guns operate in real life.

It’s a QoL change and game mechanic that doesn’t force you to load 1 round after 1 round

Nah, it’s not. Like I said, we’ll just go ahead and declare your comment as irrelevant.

I mean, I would rather not have to sit here and teach you the basics on how guns work. Trying to compare the two is not only dishonest, it’s completely insane.

Notice I said most guns in WoW, not all. I’m not arguing whole things like you are. I am acting rationally in that regard.

So pointing out and drawing parallels to real life is insane and dishonest? Do you tell that to every new kid who plays a video game for the first time?

Not a single gun in WoW, NOT A SINGLE ONE, acts like a gun in the outside world. Please, be my guest at describing how a gun in wow, any gun, acts like a gun in the outside world. I’m super excited to read your explanation.

Once again, please describe in detail how a gun in WoW operates like a gun in real life. I’ll be waiting patiently for this one.

So none of them shoot and kills thing? As is their purpose?
