Hello,
I’ve been reviewing the forums extensively over the last week and I’ve noticed that we have entered Stage 4 of the Stages of Grief process. Which is depression, loneliness and reflection. Further defined below -
“Just when your friends may think you should be getting on with your life, a long period of sad reflection will likely overtake you. This is a normal stage of grief, so do not be “talked out of it” by well-meaning outsiders. Encouragement from others is not helpful to you during this stage of grieving.”
Players are finally starting to realize that RSS is not the premier game mode for arena. They’re reflecting on the notion that Blizzard has no intention to further incentivize healing in RSS and slowly realizing that normal pre-constructed arena is the ideal game mode for enjoyment moving forward. Furthermore, they’re experiencing loneliness while sitting in the Dragon City for upwards of an hour waiting for a queue to pop, only for them to leave for 30 seconds to use the bathroom and miss a queue. And when they do finally get a lobby, it’s a an owl freak, satan worshiping degens and a granola elemental seekers goat roping them in under 10 seconds.
This is normal. Soon you will realize that RSS was an abomination against God, and this game will never be balanced around it. Queues will continue to suffer. Classes that benefit the most from lack of team synergy will always be more successful and most of all, dampening is here to stay.
I am here for you. You matter. You’re important (except DHs). And you’re going to get through this. LFG sends its regards and welcome to hell.
I will discuss the next stage in coming weeks when the time is right.
Your forum grandpop,
Jim

Hey grandpa, long time no talk. Thank you for uploading this, would you say this corroborates with your previous discussion on SQBM syndrome that you elucidated in the dragonflight prepatch?

Grandson, it’s so good to see you. Yes, I do think there is a correlation between SQBM’s and people that have a strong affinity, almost obsessive desire to make RSS the number one game mode. Perhaps we can discuss this further over a few cups of Buchanan’s 18 Special Reserve on my Yacht?

As a BG-fiend, I chuckled. How soon do we expect to reach acceptance?

Hmm, I project by midseason when we hit mid-summer that they will accept that the game mode is defunct when queues take 3 hours during prime time.
Also two anomalies to consider that may expedite the crushing weight of disappointment are the D4 release and when players obtain tier sets and the balance plummets even further. Only time will tell!

Sounds good I’m just returning from my private cruise of the Caribbean. I shall meet you on the docks, I look forward to seeing you again and as per tradition throwing a warlock player into the water giving him a much needed bath.

Oh wonderful idea!! I always love to kick off our summer traditions with the Warlock Cleansing Ceremony. It’s been a good fiscal year for our family, bramson. Let’s make it three warlocks this year, my son. One of each spec. Your choice of players!

Wow grandpa! You’re spoiling me. Afterwards I’ll take you to my special exhibit I had made in the Smithsonian. It’s called, “Shadow Priests” it’s quite fascinating it’s just a bunch of shadow priests in real time crying about how bad their class is.

I’ve heard of these, “hysterical spriests”, before but have never directly interacted with them. Which is odd as they seem to be a common subspecies. However, I don’t typically hang out at mall food courts, GameStop or 711 parking lots where from what I understand is their normal ecosystem. You’ve piqued my interest!

Yes I believe their squalor is too far beneath you, I’ve spent a number of years studying their habits and even wrote my PhD dissertation on them.

Bri’ish documentary voice engage!
The irony here is that SPriests are, in fact, not that bad.

I’d love to watch your thesis defense. We need more research on the social structure of certain WoW classes. An entire governmental team is dedicated to understanding the Moon Guard RBG players. We are still vexed by their social nuances and caste system!

Happy to report I have a first-hand account of a few of them.
Good people actually, leveling an identical twin to my Horde panda rogue on Moon Guard just to do randoms with them (and RP in Stormwind it’s actually pretty cool).

Fascinating. Then maybe I’ve been exposed to a different tribe of them. A more insidious group that has non-socially conforming proclivities of courtship and “peacocking”.

I had one almost kill me 3 separate times after we killed his Enhance 2’s partner before we finally nailed his coffin shut. One of those was just my guard being down since 2v1’s are almost always a W, but the other 2 he was legitimately chasing me and nearly killed me several times. Lol
Spriest is fine.

Well said. I really know very little about their rework. I should probably check it out a bit.

It’s okay, we sent him back to dork island so he could spend some time with all the men who’ve ever contributed to his gene pool.

I don’t know if this is true or not, but I was told by a random person on the internet that if you logout, all your queues pause for ~3 minutes.

Maybe I’ll test it this week, and will report back.
