reading all this cat mount stuff and some like anti “1%er posts” has me wondering
why do people on these forums present arguments as if the “99%” are all on the same page - right now meaning as if they’re all on the same page that it’s a big deal that the cat doesn’t drop from lfr?
casuals do heroic and mythic all the time. casuals can be really high io. casuals can be good at the game.
casuals can also not care at all about these sorts of things. most probably dont even know what the cat mount is and they certainly probably dont think some war is being waged on them like you’d read here
why do people try and represent everyone instead of just themselves
maybe i am just aknor the fool but some ppl seem like they’re just arguing to argue and dont actually care at all about what goes on in game lol
but now i’m being told that i’m being disrespected by blizzard and that i am no longer the target audience or something and i should grab a weapon and be ready for war
Because the term “casuals” is undefined and posters attempt to show a unified complaint even though it may not be true.
But you are correct. Specific complaints are most likely only shared by a small portion of players but get amplified by the selective outrage of the forums.
The change affects casual players more than it affects hardcore players. Is everyone who calls themself casual an LFR-only raider? No. Are LFR-only raiders more likely to call themselves casuals? Yes. This change is anti-casual, or at least negative to large section of casuals.
i havent really noticed lfr taking any less time than normal in my time doing both. the queues and speed of bosses is usally really slow in lfr compared to normal if u can get into an ok group which is pretty easy as long as you’ve done some stuff to get gear.
but like if u barely have time to do that how do u have time to be mad about a mount?
idk i feel like the casual players i play with and myself are reading all this and kinda just like “huh” when it feels like people are trying to “speak for us” but like we dont really care lol
So forums were good at the start. Then the trolls came in to troll you he population that engages in actual discussion. Eventually the looking to get outraged people came to feed the trolls. The sensible people left and now you just have trolls and fake outrage people forming a cycle where both are happy.
Stop treating Casual Players like we don’t matter. Casual players, as I’m sure you know, are the backbone for this game.
kinda definitely feels like they’re trying to speak for me? like, they arent specifying what casuals. just… all casuals. and idk they dont represent me
i dont think i feel like i matter less over this change. i also dont know what the mount has to do with the backbone of the game.
We know you know this because when you made anti-casual changes at the start of MoP, you lost one of the biggest loss of subscribers you’ve ever had and scrambled to try to get people back, and never did. (To note, MoP started with over 10 mil subs and by the end they were at 6.8) And despite popular belief, it was not infact from Siege of Orgrimmar:
thought this was kinda weird too cuz it seems weird to blame the sub loss on that. i didnt think mop was anti casual i had a bunch of fun in mop
anyway i dont wanna argue i just wanted to post my thoughts
Because “casual” is just a meaningless buzzword around here, and by far it’s primary usage is just to cry victim at whatever the current hot outrage is.
