Thank you.
I didn’t ask to read your personal blog either but here we are
This thread literally had nothing to do with my personal life until someone made it that way.
Look, you dump your purse out in public, some kind strangers are gonna stop and try to help, all I’m saying.
You’re not my mom!!!1
I can do what I want, Nui!
That’s my purse, I don’t know you.
Calm down and get in the truck, Bobby.
Yes please can pour your purse out, they’ll help you and I’ll be stealing crap in the confusion
Yay free stuff!
back in classic (don’t remember the server) there was a girl that took over a tavern in stormwind. she’d sell drinks and stuff. she’d always be there and stock up at night i guess.
she was as close to an NPC as you could get. ppl accepted that it was her tavern and that was it. no questions about it.
Gotta watch those gnomes and their four finger discounts!
It’s the best discount there is! 100% off!
Actually, there’s one that’s even better. Sell it back to them after you steal it, that’s like 200% off!
Not catering to casuals is why we have half-assed world quests and all the resources being pumped into high end raiding and E-sports-esque elements of the game.
It’s an MMORPG, the wider world is meant to be the star of the show, thriving and brimming with life and activity, not a glorified instances menu.
I don’t “RP” in Silvermoon. I don’t expect to get raid-level gear without raiding, nor even high-ilevel dungeon gear without doing dungeons. I don’t expect to be able to go into rated BGs & be competitive. Some times I don’t even log in for a couple weeks at a time & when I do, it’s usually to play my lowbie healer because playing this character in SL is an exercise in frustration. I almost never group for anything, & I haven’t been in a guild for a long time.
But when I do play, I take my fun seriously. So am I a “casual” to whom Blizzard shouldn’t “cater?” I dunno, but I do think there’s more than enough for me to do that I don’t need more content or better gearing options or whatever.
/shrug
lmao…sure he is wrong .NO ONE HERE is telling blizzard to cater to such a narrow group of people…lmao…except maybe the 1% of raiders, that is.
I respectfully disagree here and put forward that MMOs in general should not cater to one type of player and WoWs strength lies in that in nutures several types of players in three gameplay mode.
Let’s say they were to say screw over casual pvpers, that’s a decent chunk gone.
Why not just further take the world out of World of Warcraft and make it a queable lobby game like CoD or any other Fps? Crush the casuals all together.
I don’t see anything wrong with adding more world content for people to explore and immersion. Heck I even enjoy checking out the zones from time to time. I just wish there was worthwhile stuff out there from rep vendors that could be bad luck protection for bis pieces that never drop but at a significantly lower ilvl.
i have done very few dungeons in SL. maybe did a mythic 2 times or 3.
no normal or higher raids. only reason i did LFR was for final boss to finish the quest given in Haven in ZM.
i do pvp and the world quests mostly only in ZM . i do some mining and herbing if i feel like it. i can make a few of the leggos.
Casual. I pay monthly to play. I have no intentions of joining a raiding guild. Did that many years ago, not into the getting up for work still needing 4 hours of sleep.
happy with my game play and progress on gear. tons of gold.
mythics not my thing.
That was a really long way of saying that you are a elitist.
Additionally you seem pretty lackluster and casual.
So welcome to the club, would you like a cookie? /gen
Does OP have the statistics to back their claims up?
Especially when they’re claiming that catering to an audience that is thriving elsewhere and booming the popularity of the genre is irrelevant.
This is an MMORPG.
The very nature of this genre means there’s a range in audience, and refusing to cater to that is precisely why the lights shut off for games like Wildstar - according to their own developers. Live service games need to cater to as many people as possible, and a majority, because they need to make money.
Don’t like it? This isn’t the genre for you.
Blizzard also doesn’t appear to be caring about people like OP because whoops, more pet battle content.
