Why do people take a game with no friendly fire so serious?

Any game where you can just shoot into your allies and nothing negative happens is fundamentally flawed, so why are they so popular?

For reference, wc3 had friendly fire damage and you had to manage multiple units at a time, in wow you only manage one yet they thought it would be too complicated to track?

Bold statement. Explain the fundamentals of gaming to me please.

I accidentally sapped my own healer :pensive:

do what now

actions have consequences, if you’re playing games where the consequences for your actions are removed, you’re just playing a simplified game

Wow would be incredibly different than its current conception if friendly fire had been a thing since vanilla, by no means could it just be flipped today, but I am genuinely curious if the game (/any mmo) would be better or worse after 15 years of dev time around the tenet of friendly fire is a thing to be wary of.

Why is this a fundamental flaw?

Is anything not a troll thread anymore?

You don’t understand game design much do you

I think any thread that asks for reasonable buffs/nerfs and engages in retrospective conversation should always be treated with respect!

Bonus points from me if it’s about warlock hate.
Warlocks are the professional victim class of wow IMO.

because the game is constantly compensating and developing around the fact that very fundamental aspects of combat systems have been ignored.

bro PvE tanks are super elitist too. here I thought we were the small ego minority. nah dog, PvE players are just as toxic str8 up

Whatever I’m bored too. If I wanted something super complex and infinitely challenging I would go back to competitive Starcraft. WoW is fun and relatively easy compared to other games and I like it that way. Not looking to make this game a job.
