Good for you and good for Blizzard.
Now they know how cheap what we earn is, to many players, and how easy it is to take away anything that we earn.
After all, fishing is “nothing special” to you, so WQs and rep grinding are probably just as much “nothing special” to other players.
No difference really if whatever you do to earn something is “nothing special” then it is “nothing special” if they take what we earn away either.
Thanks for playing.
You’re biased because you had to work for a rep, so yours should be invalid as well. See how that works?
Coming from my side of the argument no its not bias at all.
Better than that stiff legged thing.
I don’t understand how other players play style has such an Impact on yours that you favor getting rid of something that has NO impact on you.
Edit: feel free to explain.
This sorta argument doesn’t belong in an MMO, sorry. I see it waaaay too much.
Copping out of an argument you can’t win… That’s still a loss for you man.
You can’t win an argument against an opinion, and my opinion is that the dumb bug being gone is great.
Everyone is biased. The real question is, why are you against a win/win solution?
My previous post wasn’t an opinion it was fact all too common occurring fact. Its becoming an issue with in this community.
To some, clearing heroic is the complete “end game”. To some, top end PvP is. to some, leveling and gearing alts is.
Your “end game” isn’t the same as everyone else’s, which is the actual beauty in this game… There is something for everyone.
I play my main as much as I want, and I dabble on alts occasionally after I’m “done” for the current raid tier. That may be “moronic” to you, but to me it’s quite fun. I have alts of all levels that do all number of things that I enjoy. So, think I’m a moron… I really don’t care. I only care that I’m having fun.
One (or two) cities at a time.
Hmmmm….
You really think the portal folks have moved to acceptance of what the devs have done to world travel?
You think that the water strider owners are just going to forget how the time and effort that they put in to earning the water strider, just so the devs could take it away and sell us back, a more expensive and nerfed version of what we earned, is just going to be forgotten?
It won’t, you know. Both of these are just two more straws in an ever growing haystack that has already taken it’s toll on many players, who have left the game in frustration and disappointment, and which will continue to do the same with many more.
I am on the brink, personally speaking, and this has just been another reminder that Blizzard has no respect for their customers/players any more.
You know, it is one thing to ignore what many players want, repeatedly, and then talking down to the players, when the devs talk to us at all, but the idea that they now do not even respect what we work to earn in the game just cheapens the value of my sub with each passing cycle.
I have much disappointment in other players, who cannot even grasp that there might be a little bit of an issue with getting what they want at the expense of other players. This is especially so when their support could have made the difference between what is now being forced upon some of us and an actual compromise that would have given both sides what they wanted.
Yeah, It is a little disheartening to accept that there is really not much left that can be called an actual community any more.
Our infighting usually works well to take the focus off of bigger issues at higher levels, as well. Just coincidental, I guess.
Strangely, I keep reading these kinds of comments and the old adage “Ignorance is bliss” just keeps popping into my head.
I simply cannot imagine why.
They don’t talk to us is a major part of the problem. They talk AT us.
Talking to us, having a dialog, and using that discussion to work out details (such as the striders/equipment) of changes would be a MAJOR asset to blizzard.
Even when shown bugs, unless it’s something that gets around their metrics, they ignore it until they have no other choice. They don’t make mistakes… we’re just playing wrong…
Nothing we do, short of close accounts, can sway their pride.
Actually, it is EXACTLY the kind of argument for MMOs, I don’t participate in PvP or pet battles but I don’t want them removed as they don’t have an impact on my play. Why do others using the bug matter so much to you? That kind of thinking is the kind that often leads to some thinking they have more right to force others to play their way then allowing people to play as they want.
They could have done the same thing by introducing the mount equipment and just leaving the bug alone. If other mounts can walk on water, no need for the bug unless one likes to have different mounts for different things. Even then, if the gear was by mount instead of my character, one could still set up a different mount with water walking and not use the bug if they did not want to.
His attitude seems to be more he can only win if what he wants to happen is what happens.
Don’t bother engaging with this guy bro.
Take ten seconds.
Think of all the cool ways mount equipment could have been used in the game. It isn’t hard if you have a smidge of imagination.
Now realize that Blizzard is only using mount equipment to nerf water striders because somebody high up got a bee in their bonnet over it. There is nothing at all creative about it. At all.
Feel sad that Blizzard is that bad these days.
And it’s only going to get worse.
The funny thing is Mount grinds like that, I’m totally cool with.
Locking entire races behind Rep grinds is something I had a problem with.
They’re 2 different things, and Blizz is targeting the one literally nobody cares about.
