MMO’s seem to get less and less popular with each generation because again a lot of them are not interested in having to rely on other people.
Most “traditions” are falling apart all over the globe because older people have tried to force it down younger peoples throats and its failed.
Soon there will be no traditions and people will be free to do what ever they want without the overarching burden of “i should just live the way my parents lived and believe whatever they told me to believe” Instead they’ll come to their own conclusions without any external pressure.
Just take 1 ‘tradition’ for example religion. Religious attendance has collapsed drastically over the past few decades.
Let me explain to you why PvP vendors were actually removed… the truth.
Ion was getting pressured from the very few hardcore PvPers left in this game - about lack of participation… and lack of socialization. So, they removed the vendors in order to try increasing both participation and willingness to socialize in this game… by forcing everyone into Rated PvP.
His social agenda failed… miserably. The numbers increased slightly, and decreased as the seasons went on. Ion and company finally realized that the future of PvP - is behind the casual anti-social player base. This is why Solo Shuffle and Rated RBGs were finally added into the game - and why WoD gearing system was restored. Random BGs/Epics are the most popular PvP for a reason - no one has to socialize… and it’s fantastic.
This is why Shuffle and Blitz ARE the future of PvP… and why Blizzard was quoted saying ‘‘our focus will be on Blitz.’’
I assume they meant Solo Shuffle, as well.
I’m happy you enjoy your community… and you guys enjoy swapping recipes in between queues - but your community is nothing compared to the larger picture.
The social aspect of PvP is dead. It’s never coming back.
The fact that the sync people in mass report anything calling form them to be delt with proves they know exactly what they are doing and simply don’t want it brought to blizzard attention.
solo rated queue makes unrated pvp more social, not less. people are able to just go do their rated goals on their own instead of trying to work with the partners they have or spend all their time looking for a partner.
the result is that everyone does rated solo and then shows up to unrated to play together in premades free from the problems of everyone having a different MMR.
No, they are the truth, and it upsets those that lie. The fact that you are one of the first people to attack and gaslight anyone that says anything is enough proof you are part of the problem. Stay mad and bad I suppose.
