No changes? What about the nerfed elites that give a lot of XP?

As many people have indicated, the majority of pugs that people see advertised are aoe/cleave groups. Whether that’s 60, 70, 80%…doesn’t matter. A significant percentage of groups are employing this method which dramatically reduces the number of players in the pig pool and the number of potential pug opportunities for people not utilizing this method. There is no “play your way” in an MMO. What you do impacts others, even if indirectly.

Bad faith troll identified. Can’t wait for you to burn out. Begone.

Can’t backup your own argument so you resort to name calling. Typical :).

You’re not too terribly nice yourself.

What statistics does Blizz release? It’s anecdotes. But I’ve days /played on multiple characters watching /LFG /2 and /world and the sheer number of aoe/cleave groups relative to normal groups is alarming. What does it matter though. It’s impossible to argue with someone incapable of seeing that an MMO ties your play style to the rest of us. There is no “I play my way you play yours.” By virtue of removing yourself from the pool of Normal groups, you have reduced the pool and opportunities for others. The fact that this is such a large portion of groups means that the impact on others is significant.

If you’re going to argue that so many groups (you literally said 80%, then dropped to 60%, with 0 evidence) are doing this that it forces everyone to do the same, then you really need to bring some proof. Sorry you don’t like that fact, but it remains true that people are free to level how they want. You should worry less.

I hope you reap the dissatisfaction you sow.

You can’t backup the stat you pulled from your hindquarters so you have to call me a name, and now you curse me? Lmfao, thanks for the entertainment.

May you reap.

I mean you did start in this thread by being a jerk unprovoked. You’re also being a hypocrite.

You need to learn to read. Nowhere did I say Huggs can’t be a meanie. I said that falling to name calling when asked for evidence is laughable.

And this whole thread was based on your own false premise regarding tuning. So please, qq.

Just proving my point. Don’t be a jerk if you can’t handle someone else being a jerk back without trying to call them out.

I’ve admitted I was wrong btw.

Yeah you aren’t getting it still. I never said he couldn’t be a jerk. Obviously this conversation is too difficult for you to follow, so I’ll just leave you here to whine about stuff that hasn’t actually happened. That’s why you created this thread, and that’s why you’re responding to me now :).

I think you’re just living up to your name.

People? Speak for the kids of 15 years ago.

I wish I was a kid 15 years ago. Sadly the " kids " thing get way over played. If I remember correctly the average age for WoW has always been higher than most people believe, somewhere in the mid to late 20’s ( and odds are it’s higher now cause everyone aged ).

Only makes sense. Disposable income and time. That’s all you needed.

I myself was in my late 20s to early 30s, worked and lived in new york city.

Pretty much. Most of our guild was in their late 20’s, some in their 30’s and a very small handful still in their teens.

Our youngest players would be 29 today, which kind of makes me cry lol.

I have not seen a single group advertising itself as ‘aoe’ or ‘cleave’ or ‘farm’ or anything like that, for that matter.
