Water Strider Discussion

[Moonstriken-lightbringer]

Come to Ohio. We’re not entirely communist yet

Thanks, but we’re building a custom home in northern Tennessee on 5 acres.
No snow to speak of, a bit more humidity. Selling this “gold mine” by the beach, but we’ll still be by a large body of water, Kentucky lake system.
I can’t wait.
Ohio is nice though. My husband’s family is from there, in the Cincinnati area.

Remember the gbank lag? On higher pop realms, it could literally take you 45 minutes to an hour just clearing out a full gbank. That is just the time spent clicking the items out. How long did it take them to fix it? 18 months. They acknowledged it very early but did nothing.

oh…when did that happen? Just like within the last few months?
I do remember trying to move bags Id made in and out of our guild bank and being REALLY annoyed at how long it was taking to make ONE swap between bags.

For what it’s worth I’ve been playing ESO the last month or so and I’m having so much fun!

We were just down in Tennessee last summer to visit the wifes aunt and uncle. Actually, thats a FAR better move than coming here. Id move down there in a second if not for my grandkids being here.

It started early legion and lasted the whole expansion. They didn’t fix it until well after BFA launched. It was magically corrected around the time the AH lag was fixed. It could take 10-20 seconds per item whether withdrawing or depositing. Toital nightmare for bank alts. But hey, I guess it made them stay logged in a little longer dealing with that crap.

ah…I did remember that AH crap. We only more recently even started our guild so I missed the guild bank lag, apparently. Well, other than what I mentioned which was horrible all by itself. Like 15 seconds to move something in and out of the guild bank at times. Really annoying.

it is a lot of fun.
I love the little delves and public dungeons and those areas where the ‘invasion’ kinda things happen at times all thru the day.
So much variety.

[Icaañul-tichondrius (Icaañul)]

Don’t want to stray too far offtopic but yes, the ah and gbank lag was the straw that broke my camel’s back. That and the lazy correction they did for arms mastery made me leave for like 7 months.

I am someone that was not a cyclical player. I would stay subbed month after month spending hours on each day. Their design for the last several years has turned me into one. Whether it be boredom or frustration, they can’t keep me subbed even when I want to be and am playing nothing else. -.-

Amd the story line quests are really engaging. I find it very easy to get caught up in the story lol

No snow to speak of,

Depends on where. Oddly enough snow will tend to skirt both north and south of Memphis and then pick up again around Jackson through Nashville. It just very seldom lasts very long unlike the northeast.

a bit more humidity.

That’s an understatement!

Paris Tenn. We’ll be almost in the middle between Memphis and Nashville, northern end. Across the bridge outside of town. They do get snow at times, but not a lot in the 12 years I’ve been following the weather and chamber of commerce’s FB page.

Not as much as it would seem. We’re in Huntington Beach, just a mile or so from the shoreline. Been here since '74, and it’s been steadily getting more and more humid during the summer lately. Hot and humid. So much so, we had AC installed over 10 years ago, and we put it to good use every year. I follow city forums that represents over 60,000 residents, and new homes are including it, and a whole lot of people wish they had it now, that have been here for any length of time.
However the cost of even using it during the few months we might need it, rivals areas that that rely on it a whole lot more than we do. It’s crazy expensive here.

What part of Ohio?

I lived in Stark County for almost 30 years before moving to MS to be with the woman who becomes my wife in 18 days.

[Taienna-aerie-peak (Taienna)]

Near columbus, though if they keep raising the rent on this place Im moving. For another $40 a month I can get another bedroom and half a bath just down the road.
Everyone keeps telling me to buy a place, but I really dont like the idea of being tied to a place and having to go thru the horror of selling later.
Leasing means I can move when I want.

One thing I miss about Ohio is the rather low risk of tornadoes compared to southern states. Evening of the 13th we had THREE hit my county within 30 minutes, the strongest of which actually hit town less than 2 miles from my house.

[Pafierra-malygos]

Do blacksmiths make any of the new stuff?

[Moldywort-whisperwind]

Dunno, trying to get my macros/keybinds copied to PTR before I actually look at anything.

[Bluespruce-silver-hand (Bluespruce)]

I would agree that to make the benefits of the water strider, which is currently available to any toon above 20, a benefit that one has to pay for on every single toon is not happy-making!! My golly, as an altaholic, this will be hundreds of gold for me. Many hundreds…

[Merridae-aerie-peak (Merridae)]

Well, I’ve never seen anyone so upset over pixel changes as to talk about lawsuits. I think I would just quit the game before I would even consider something like that. /smh

The thing that you are not seeing, obviously because you desire not to see it, is that I am not upset at what Blizzard Entertainment is choosing to do. Not at all. I am suggesting to whoever might wish to know the truth that were this objectively treated like literally any other company that does business in the United States of America (whether registered here or not) there would be a LEGAL Remedy for such behavior on the part of that company. The fact that such a LEGAL remedy exists for such behavior indicates that there is either the potential for harm being done to people who are customers of such a company or the potential for harm or offense to be done to the public at large because of that companies activities.

Since a LEGAL Remedy already exists for this potential behavior that may not be acceptable socially. Ethically and morally the remedy implies that the behavior is on its face unethical or immoral. Therefore whether or not legal avenues are pursued my sole argument is this: What Blizzard Entertainment Developer are proposing to do is UNETHICAL or IMMORAL. At the end of the day since I cannot litigate this in my current jurisdiction (mainly because I am not an attorney) I CAN raise the argument that what these developers are doing from an objective view point is without doubt wrong, and is moral justification for anyone who currently consumes content from Blizzard Entertainment to rethink that relationship based on a basic is this a good thing or a bad thing. My argument being that it is definitively bad, and by implication anyone who would (for whatever reason) support such a wrong is advocating for that wrong to be continued and at that point I want to know why a person would willingly advocate for a known wrong?

[Margirita-perenolde (Margirita)]

I love it when people bring out the scary and accurate legal mumbo jumbo.

It makes it actually hold weight when we say leave the water strider be this move is wrong.

But hey, this must be the year for changes for me. I’m leaving California, where I’m born and raised, for the first time in my life. After all these years, the policies, taxes and ridiculous high cost of living and crowding has finally convinced me it’s time to #Calexit.

I know you’re not comparing the two, but I wanted to point out that CA can afford to lose people to other states… Because, unlike wow, the population is still growing in spite of people leaving.
