Other than “feeling special,” why do people care if others have the same gear as them?

I’ve never seen anything so wrong in my life.

  1. If people want loot without the effort its guaranteed they don’t know their rotation or even min/max for that matter.

  2. People hated templates because it invalidated their gear. A “monkey” could be just as powerful as someone who put in the time and effort into being more powerful.

  3. Twinking has nothing to do with anything in this conversation.

Only “I” deserve to be special. The rest of you need to wipe if you accidentally pull more than one mob in The Maw.

Is it lonely there up on your high horse?

I agree. This means they don’t do raids or dungeons. Those are commitments of time.

I respond in kind and I dont apologize for doing it.

You can live by the turn the other cheek mantra. I dont.

This was the post I initially respodned to and my response muted. but as you can see, one side started being jerks first. and I’m comfortable and fine responding appropriately.

I think they should just get rid of levels and gear altogether. We should one shot every enemy and boss in the game with all of our abilities cause having goals and getting better and stronger to achieve them and having challenges is stupid. I mean I pay 15 dollars a month to play the game. Everything should be handed to me on a silver platter with strawberries and dacquiris on it.

You do realize this is EXACTLY what I said, right?

Not really, LFG has provided a system where you can bounce in and out of groups as you please.

Absolutely. Scaling is an entirely different issue and can often punish getting gear. It’s ridiculous and it should never be implemented after leveling.

I don’t need to. Because what defines a casual is so vast that I’d need to write a paper in MLA format to cover it all.

Thats nice.

The entire video game industry disagrees with you.

I don’t remember initially insulting you but I sure do remember the insults you slung my way when I didn’t agree with your opinion.

So raid carries aren’t a thing? Even the top guilds in the world do it for their alts.
You don’t really believe they reform the entire raid each time they need to level someones alt do you?
No, they sub that alt in and drag it to victory.

I think with how digestible a lot of end-game content is in WoW these days that being a casual and high end player has become less and less an oxymoron.

Gone are the days of needing to spend 6 hours farming consumables for 4 hours of raiding, or needing to account-share to maintain GM/HWL.

It’s pretty easy to log on after work, message a couple friends on Discord and smash out that +18 and then log off and do whatever needs doing that takes priority over WoW.

Agreed. And that’s what I was getting at.

grow thicker skin then.

Great so casual is a nonsense diluted word to you. That’s fine by me. That just makes it easier.

I’ll say it directly. Grinding should have a better gear progression. Make it a high bar of grinding. Make it time consuming. There should be a gear path that is not difficulty based group content that reflects the time investment that it takes to accomplish.

Its funny because outside of these threads, I 100% believe I would be looked at as more “casual” than “hardcore”.

2 night raiding, 3 hours per. 6 hours of raiding total a week. Hit a few m+ with some friends.

I haven’t even been on WoW for close to 48 hours atm. Just had other stuff going on.

Okay, here we go again. You said you respond in kind. When I pointed out you’ve done nothing but insult me, and were the one to instigate the insults, you insult me again.

That’s… man, you are just full of hypocritical revelations aren’t you?

Can I grind by flying in circles around Dalaran?

Debunk’d. They made LFR for casual players.

Tell me a time in WoW where the player could acquire the best gear in the game simply by partaking in solo content. And I’m talking like a full set. Weapons, trinkets, rings, everything.
