Good, maybe you’ll actually have incentive to run dungeons the way they were intended to be done instead of passively cheesing your way to max level not even actively playing your character
And if not, i guess you’ll just have to deal with the fact you’re too lazy to do what it takes to level those alts
I mean, when it takes an hour to put together a group for gnomer then yeah I turn to paying 15-30g for an hours worth of boosting instead of wasting my time. Its a convenience thing since I already spent the legitimate time leveling my mage from launch through normal means. If I could have that same experience on all my toons I would take it but people just arent out here leveling like they were. So yeah when faced with a lack of interested people, you pay a mage to lvl you
This happens to me too, but I can usually wind up snagging a free run using my wits.
So basically, you dont want to actually level a new character legitimately
If thats the case, maybe you shouldn’t have alts, or deal with the fact that “convenience” has a price.
Blizzard isn’t obligated to make leveling characters while being afk watching netflix while someone else does it for you convenient
Maybe the reason it takes an hour to find a group is because so many people are paying for boosts instead of actually playing the game, this change should curb that a bit
the dagger is suppose to be a super rare drop.
not one that every mage has now cause they ran the instance 10000 times like nerds
lock out working as intended
The point is there are ways to fix botting (this doesn’t affect bots by the way) without hurting normal players?
And it fundamentally changes the design of classic, after they promised not to? So they lied to their players and are now putting in brainless Activision changes?
Many changes affect /hurt real players depending on what they do in game. 5 instances per hour hurts players that want to do 10. Raid lockouts hurt players that want to spam the same raid over and over during the week. Disabling /follow in BGs to eliminate simple honor bots hurts multi-boxers, or simply people playing with a friend that need to take a bio and want to follow their friend for a bit.
So long as the changes are universal then the playing field is as even as it gets even if those changes inconvenience some.
The thing is that it is wrong. Period. For anyone to limit the amount of time I can spend doing something that I pay a sub for. At least when it comes to introducing new rules to a nearly 16 year old game. And I don’t understand the people who want to defend blizzard with this action. Any player restrictions that weren’t in vanilla are wrong. Regardless if it effects you or not. For example, if blizzard made it to where only one account could have a maximum of 500 black lotus… I would be angry about the change. No it wouldn’t effect me in the slightest and the only players who would have that much would clearly be multi boxing or something. But it’s a restriction that should not exist. They restrict us to 30 instances today for an arbitrary reason that ultimately does nothing to stop cheaters, and tomorrow why not limit the amount of steps your character can take? Or only allow each character to have a maximum of 100g unless you pay for a premium sub. Any and all restrictions are wrong. And there are better ways to deal with issues… they just don’t want to have to spend any money to fix the issue
Or how about the theoretical change that Blizzard could introduce a rule to limit each account to only being logged in for 6 hours per day? I mean… if they decided that playing too much was exploiting the game why not? Of course it won’t effect all you casuals. So you don’t care right?
Why should i have to wait a week to do bwl again, i should be able to run it all night until im full bis, after all, all restrictions are wrong and serve no purpose in maintaining the integrity of the games design
Classic is not competitive in any way shape or form
Players manage to make it that way, but they can do it about everything.
Racing to cross the street can be a competition, but 99.9999999% of people will just casually walk.
Classic is just the exception where a good portion of the playerbase decides to partake in such a pointless act
Again, if it’s a restriction that wasn’t in vanilla it is wrong. People could only do 5 instances per hour and 1 raid ID per week
How about a “30 bootlicking posts / day” limit ?
Read my full statement before trying to make a point that had nothing to do with my point
The ignorance is strong in you my child.
That’s like your opinion man.
But seriously, the speedrunning community in classic is alive and well. This just shows that blizzard does not care about it’s most dedicated players.
I wouldn’t either
Also, (Hypothetically) if my entire guild wanted to lock down an area to farm elementals to sell on the AH 24/7 until there is no one left to play classic and we controlled the entire supply of something like elemental earth… is that exploiting? We are not going into instanced content and resetting it over and over. Fair is fair right? And we just happen to have more dedicated players, time, and resources than anyone else. In my opinion, no that is not exploiting. That is playing the game the way I want to within the original rules of vanilla. Anyone who would support adding in restrictions to curve real player behavior regardless if it effects you or not should just unsubscribe. If you can’t handle playing 6-8 hours a day and support un-vannila like changes then you need to get off permanently
I’m not mad so it’s not everyone that’s mad.
You pay a sub to play WoW not a particular WoW activity. You are not limited in the time you choose to play WoW. Play 24/7 if you like. So far as limits on activities within WoW those have always existed. Changes are constantly being made to on-line games. Not everyone likes all of the changes, I get it, but your play time in-game is not being curtailed.
