Raid day today. I’m hoping that none of my players get locked out because we do:
1 - DM buffs
2 - FR buff in UBRS
3 - BWL
4 - MC
5 - Ony
I’m honestly afraid to run anything today because I did over 9 dungeons last night and don’t know when they’ll reset. Definitely wanted to run some today on my alt but now I have to really watch it, which sucks.
I’ve been playing a LOT lately since I don’t have a job at the moment and I have some alts that I want to start gearing up. Sucks to farm for Jed, hard to help my guild members farm their HOJ and SGC (I normally do at least one round of 5 per day on my priest). And to all those that say “play on a different realm” but why would I do that? All my toons are on MY realm of preference. All my friends are also on that realm. The fact that I even have to worry about getting locked out of our raid is ridiculous.
I’ve never hated a change in the game more than I hate this one. It vastly effects how I enjoy the game. I love dungeons and do a lot of them and now I have to really watch it beyond just making sure I’m not lockout within the hour. I hate this, I hate this, I hate this.
I don’t read Oggetafisher’s comments as coming across like this at all. It seems what is being said is something more along the lines of, “I’ve gotten into a routine that I am used to, and enjoy. It works for me. This change, changes that, and I don’t like it.”
It would be for Blizzard to decide given it’s their game?
Kind of like how they started the game with a few anti no-lifing systems like rested xp (originally was flipped, where after you played for so long you started getting half xp) and raids to have lockouts so you can’t grind raid bosses over and over for gear?
Utilitarianism is a terrible way to govern people.
You need to consider whether the behavior of that minority is reasonable behavior.
6 hours of instance farming is on the high end, but absolutely in the realm of reasonable gameplay that doesn’t ruin the game for others.
The argument of screwing over the minority works way better for the black lotus change since it really just enhanced gameplay for most people, and harmed the investment of an exceptionally small minority, likely in the realm of dozens rather than thousands of players. The instance change can only serve to restrict players.
Not only that, but it’s not like any player has the choice to just suddenly be part of the black lotus mafia, whereas any player can choose to level a class that’s good at instance farming.
The 30 instance limit is shockingly easy to reach, especially on weekends. I farmed dire maul a bunch friday evening, and then early saturday afternoon i hit my cap after only a couple runs.
I can hit the cap farming hoj for guildies in 3 hours 20 mins game time and by no means is that 1/20 applicable nor accurate for everyone… It can take a lot more than 30 runs and even then, congrats on your hoj buddy I’m just gonna go contest some lotus/plaguebloom bots that seemingly missed the banwave after the cap… that was introduced because of the bots in the instances… right.
Also what about Mara dagger hopefuls? If the 30 cap was in when I was farming it no way in hell would I have been happy nor successful had blizzard been gatekeeping my chances per day at attaining it, especially at 476 runs. I can’t imagine anybody else would have either. Hence why people are pissed off, however, the chromosome deficient few still garble on as if this wasn’t an April Fools joke much less labeled by Blizzard themselves as an evil change to make.
Wrong bud! You may think people wanna make another account but you will find out soon when you’re in a capital city and nobody’s there just like the old days. It’s happened time and time again. And it will happen again.
Pretty easy to control this. All you have to do is subract the amount of instances you plan on doing in a 24 hour period from the number 30. So I can only run BRD 27 times for SGC instead of 30. This is still a pretty large amount of farming BRD in a 24 hour period.
