Well... I couldn't have guaranteed it but I kinda saw it coming. When the conversation on EVERY internet forum/blog/etc is basically "D3 on console is great, too bad PC's loot still sucks" you'd have to be pretty damn cynical to think that Blizzard wouldn't do SOMETHING to fix that. Not to...

I've never seen someone try so hard to cheat at a game that required it so little. Believe me I duped and hacked the shit out of my D2 chars, but that also made playing the game pointless and no fun after about 5 min.

Since you're so keen on details, notice that 'central' isn't capitalized. It is an actual adjective, and accurate enough in this context.

Haha someone got caught trading gold, boohoo. Oh yes, I know you have a foolproof explanation, e.g.: "I was just transferring it to my other account, which isn't registered under the same name cuz I don't have to tell you any of my personal info, it's my fuckin' business... Also I use an IP mask...

So finding your dog being mauled by a wild raccoon and tossing the raccoon down some stairs where it probably landed on its feet and scurried away harmlessly is animal abuse? That's some PETA level retarded right there, mods. Plus, it's an old repost.

In vanilla it was cool as a lowbie to see lvl 60s riding epic mounts and running around in epic raid loot. Once you got to that point yourself, it lost its luster. I remember several times having a lvl 40ish player come up to me in Ironforge excitedly and ask "Hey mister! Where'd you get that...

I don't remember them specifically mentioning ilvl squish before Cata at all, just a vague acknowledgement about number inflation and a response of "We're looking into possible solutions." Before MoP they gave the big blog post of the 2 most likely solutions: ilvl squish and MEGADAMAGE, but...

You like charts right? I made one just for you.

I think you can admit that WoW is dying at this point without having to resort all the way to "Blizzard makes nothing but shit and they raped my dog." During Cataclysm I was still in denial. I thought they had it in them to bring it back up to 12mil+ with Pandaland, but they didn't, and that...

Blizzard obviously pays attention to any competition out there, but I don't buy that they've EVER timed patches around what other MMOs were doing. Taking for granted that this is 'nothing new' for them would be completely ignoring their past history (none of these are major content patches btw)...

Out of all the MMO launch schedules that Blizzard couldn't give a shit about, FFXIV? Really? I think they pay more attention to expansions for EQ1.

Except you also didn't need a full blue set before you got into raids. I never completed any tier 0 dungeon set on any of my characters, until transmog at least. My first week raiding Molten Core I had greens in half my slots, many of which were actually better than blues or sometimes even T1/T2...

People who still use 'stone' as a unit of measurement.

Getting to max level and doing simple side stuff (pet battles, tradeskills) aren't a good test for how ''casual'' WoW has gotten, no matter how many characters you do it on in X amount of hours. People complained getting to 60 was way too easy back in vanilla, that hasn't changed. It's always...

Not to mention the driver doesn't even really start to decelerate until after he's nearly hit the kids. Driving that close to parked cars on both sides, he should be ready to stop at an instant, if only in case some asshat decides to pull out right as you're going by.

I honestly don't get the fanaticism over LoL and Dota 2. I mean the high points of those experiences sound great: coordinating with teammates against your opponent in a war of attrition where every battle can tip the scales in your favor. But to get to that point you have to trudge through...

The financial reports are available to the public so I don't know how this isn't common knowledge by now: Even with WoW subs dropping by the millions, Blizzard profits continue to rise every single year. That's Blizzard Entertainment itself, not Activision Blizzard picking up the slack. If...

Priest so you can lifegrip tanks right as they run in to pull and watch the first few dps reach the boss get creamed.

That infographic seems legit. It seems to be implying that cloud servers are just hundreds of ipads stacked on each other. Also, storage costs are $500 for 16GB, yup.

"Immense majority" doesn't count when the sample size is 1 or 2. A quick glance at wowprogress.com and it looks like a pretty even split between 10 and 25. Regarding a "shop team": remember they just freed up a bunch of people from working on Titan. They might even be using ideas/code...

Hell according to that chart I'm an average idiot with taste. What's wrong with liking multiple things, and not having a "THIS THING IS THE BEST, ALL OTHER THINGS ARE SHIT" mentality? Edit: Also, I liked The Wire but The Shield is just plain brilliant.

So all you hopeless idealists raging about how WoW is ruining the MMO industry, you still hoping for Elder Scrolls to save it? 50 failed MMO disasters since WoW came out and it's still Blizzard's fault apparently.

"for players in certain regions" sounds like Asia. I don't see how double XP would make sense anyway; there are already a billion ways to speed leveling up. If they really wanted to be evil they'd sell a valor cap extender and extra mogu runes of fate. BTW, if you think leveling faster...

Also, the treasure trove solo scenario thing on Thunder Isle can be completed multiple times per week. I thought it was one key per week, but I was able to get 2 my first week at 90 and easily got 20 elder charms. I got one key from a rare spawn and one from an arcane trove from dailies, so...

Who the hell knows all of the intricacies of the current kick system, but in one of the earliest versions you could not kick players immediately at the start of the instance, probably to protect against "OMG look at his gearscore, kick him." That protection dropped after a certain amount of...

Lol at those 'push-ups'.

Huh, my year ran out last October. I figured that's why their last quarter dropped so hard. Could you really still get that deal last June? Anyway, they've got Hearthstone coming up; I'm sure they'll tie it to WoW in some meaningful way. Might be as easy as giving you free loot card drops from...

Ha, big surprise there. If they were really excited about this mystery feature in the first place, they should have just said what it was way sooner. Instead, they let the public think up 500 examples of "Oh shit we should have done that instead."

Yeah, what was GC supposed to say? "Yep, your single piece of anecdotal evidence comparing two different points in two different expansion cycles is valid. We should have pressed the 'FUN ALTS' button instead of 'NOT FUN ALTS'." It's twitter. If you want to find better examples of GC retardation...

Whoa weird illusion. Whenever that dude is doing his "Baa Baa Baa" thing all I can hear is some english bitch talking over it.

I can respect Sam Kinison as being important far before I was born for some reason, but I can't laugh at any of his bits. Do you need cocaine for it to work? Plz help.

That's the Ultimate Doom box art, which did indeed come on a cd.

Huh. Last time I levelled a toon from scratch I hit 90 with 3 days /played, no heirlooms, just guild perk. 70 probably took less than 1 day of that. If even that's too slow for you, you could spend a few bucks on another account and RAF with heirlooms and get there in an afternoon. I don't know...

I think I heard this somewhere before, but in a recent interview with lead quest designer Dave Kosak, he let loose this little tidbit of info: Fuuuuuck they made the wrong choice on that one.

Ferocious Shotgun of the Boar: +12 dmg to enemies behind you, +10 to looking badass

Oh I doubt it'll be Diablo. Not only would it be way too similar to WoW -- WoW pulled a huge chunk of its systems and mechanics directly from Diablo in the first place -- but Diablo already has the most recent full-price release out of all their franchises, and they have expansions planned out...

I found a bunch of interesting new (to me) rumors about Titan atthis site. Brief summary of the details I found most intriguing: It's a spin-off of an existing Blizzard franchise, not a completely brand new IP.It's being developed for PC and the next XBOX console.Projected launch in late...

People calling those epics "free epics" reminds me how much I hate the average WoW/MMO player these days. Seriously though, I don't think any WoW player who actually knows and understands what progression means has ever sat there in raid loot and looked at someone in 'free epics' 20 ilvls...

Yeah I thought I was gonna end up playing it this way too. Then I went and played through Mass Effect 3 again and realized how much shit they wrapped around what could have been a magnificent gem as KOTOR 3. Not to mention the F2P changes to the leveling curve turn it from a generally fun and...

Make sure you grind scenarios too if you still need 463s, it's still not a guaranteed drop but they increased the chance of getting loot at the end by quite a bit, they can reward 476 gear on rare occasion, and they reward JP so you can push a few pieces up to 471.
