Why does WoW attract so many victims?

I’m usually a pretty average player who makes tons of mistakes but could still pull 80% parses with some classes. But watching those parses drop week after week because I don’t get corrupted loot (and if I do its things like avoidance or leech) I look at the system and see there is nothing I can do. I could play better but even if I played perfect I’ll still be beat by those with better luck.

I don’t normally complain about it, I went through ICC with no raid loot dropping for me for the entire raid cycle on top of 76 runs of ToC for the armor pen trinket (to this day I still don’t think its ever dropped for me though I have seen it twice.) %^&* happens.

I do see this last patch as a huge problem though. I can’t even tank normal heroics because without corrupted gear I can’t hold aggro against people with opening burst of 200k single target. This makes it a failing of the system, not my own.

Being a victim (real or otherwise) is very trendy these days in all aspects of life, makes sense it would bleed into video games.

You can’t tank normal heroics ?
You’re losing aggro- on ST fights?
Sorry, that’s not a corruption problem

… K? All the power to them.

Vers procs probably help in their ivory tower of 1% or less of the game.

I don’t have a myriad of data, but I’d wager Infinite stars is more damaging to lower raids that Vers procs are to Mythic and top tier content?

Damaging? They’d help you down content. Just because you’re not the top dps in your raid, doesn’t make Stars bad.

a bad game is a bad game why do you defend bad things?

No I have a voice, just like you

And I choose to be miserable and play WoW, just like you

I’m pretty open about playing both. Monk is turning out to be just as easy and has more tools.

Gotta admit I’m pretty happy about the WW monk buff. :slight_smile:

you play two op classes and swear everyone is a victim for pointing it out

Just following the devs lead, ya know?

I pull 16k single target. Which isn’t great but its not bad by any means. Last patch I was parsing 60% for average tank damage sometimes spiking as high as 80%. This patch my dps hasn’t changed as I have yet to get upgrades (though to be fair I have yet to do anything on this toon at all)

Tanks will generate 4 times more Threat than DPS

(So I would be able to hold threat against 64k dps)

The heart gives you +50% threat modifier.

(With this applied I can hold threat up to 96k)

So unless I’m missing something 96k threat < 200k burst.

So this leads me to using taunt on cd and asking for tricks or misdirect. Not a problem until you do a large group pull were you run into the fact that you can only taunt one guy.

This only applies to the %1.

Everyone then uses them as a means to complain when the numbers won’t help em in the end. Everyone seeks justification for their faults. It’s human nature.

thats not true, you dont need to be top 1% to completely faceroll everyone in bgs on a dh now

Never said they weren’t. Fact is, even if DH’s were more align with the rest, people would still complain.

There has never been a time where the playerbase has been universally happy with balance. Not once.

You keep putting words in my mouth. Where did I say they should stop balancing the game?

I merely came here to agree with the OP because it basically sums up the internet and it’s “victim complex”.

the op is ridiculous, yes a lot of people complain thats what happens when you have millions of people playing

its not victim culture that complains too much, its millions of people seeing the same thing
