In my opinion there is really only one way to play WoW: Find a guild that has active members and group up for most of the content. Sure inevitably there will be some times where you play solo to do dailies for tokens, LFR/heroics for valor, farming, etc. but for the most part this game is way...

I love how the most crotchety old turds on these forums crave "massive social interactions." Especially when half of them probably six boxed everything for most of their playing experience.

Yeah they should drop some of those harder metas then if the only reward for completing them all is a set of titles and an ugly drake that most won't use. I'll bet people will be trading flag returns and shit though and it will be pretty trivial to get.

Well it was supposed to require some dedication. If I recall correctly you couldn't train master (310%) riding early on, you just had to loot a mount that flew at that speed or get the mount from the holiday achieves. Now, the only benefit I guess to finishing is just to save 4k gold. I don't...

Granted I did this like 4 years ago, but I recall when children's week came up everyone would just be standing around trading achieves.

Nobody cares about it the last 2 weeks before a patch, but right after a patch that LFR gear is probably the most cared about thing in the game.

I bought the sword. It's iLvl 463 if I remember correctly. My guild needed a tank one night and I normally play a holy/ret paladin but I quickly swapped over to prot to fill in. My ret gear was good enough to tank in and we had plenty of the BS shields laying around but for weapon it was either...

Has anyone copied over a higher level and de-leveled it to join in on progression raiding? What would be the fastest way to do so? I've been toying with the idea of copying over a level 80 warrior with 800ish AAs and knocking him down to 70.

The players don't want resist gear anymore, not Blizzard. Resist gear is a gimmick that rarely goes over well for the exact reasons you just listed. I remember stacking up resist in EQ and thinking ok, so I have all this badass gear that I built up so that I could be viable on raids and here I...

Even if it's low for ilvl, if 40k can get you through a heroic dungeon just fine, why even bitch about it?

Translation: No1 listenz!!!!

See I think you are the perfect example of the closed minded fuckwits who are obsessed with winning so much so that you would almost prefer MMOs to be single player games, except then there would be no inferior minions to lord your superior skills over. Face it man, a lot of us play to work...

Well there is two sides to that coin. I've been in my guild for about 4 years now and we've raided with pretty much the same 10 core people the entire time. We all give and take criticism from each other quite well. Of course I have a solid history with my guild and value their opinions. Some...

I'd say half of them haven't completed normal modes not because they are incompetent but more than likely due to lack of time spent raiding (6-8 hours per week for most casual guilds), lack of gear and less than optimal comps. My guild would probably have completed most of the normal mode stuff...

Yeah in Vanilla anyone who played EQ even casually had all the skills to own WoW PvE. My guild transfered to WoW from EQ having been maybe 3rd or 4th ranked for progression on our server, which was by no means bleeding edge, and wound up being miles ahead of the competition in WoW. After we...

It's pretty easy to spot the WoW guilds that are going to be serious when they raid even though they are not on the bleeding edge. If they have a website, a core of members that have been in the guild for multiple expansions and require you to actually apply before they just tag you and promote...

Yeah the immature-dickheadish behavior for top guilds seems to have been magnified tenfold with WoW guilds. I'm not sure if it's a bastardization of EQ uberguild text rage or the "more dots" video or what, but it's damn annoying in voice chat. At least text you could ignore and usually even the...

I printed all my shit at school/work and stuck it in a binder when I played EQ. I had maps, quest walkthroughs and tons of my own notes. I sort of do the same thing still with WoW but it's all digital these days. Mostly just links to relevant info for my class and such. The future of the MMO...

You solo queuing DPS or something? If you aren't waiting on queues LFRs should be quicker than dungeon grinding. Tuesday I do 3-4 LFR and Wednesday I do the last 1 or 2. After doing each days scenario and heroic for 40 and 80 respectively, I have at least 780 valor by the time I log off...

While this is probably true for the majority, I've actually been in a stable guild with the same 9-10 person core since TBC. We used to team with other guilds to do 25 man content though now we only run 10 man stuff. I guess what I don't understand (speaking broadly not directed at anyone in...

So you liked the picture?

I'm talking about just regular old leveling up content. Not raid content.

I believe the generally accepted definition of "punishing mechanics" are things that detract from the gameplay by requiring you to spend shit tons of time on them to actually play the game. I'm not going to define it further than that because I'm not in this to be some armchair game designer...

I thought the meaning was quite clear. Why is it, in fact, impossible?

The daily quests do suck, but really aren't that bad to get through. You really only need revered with Golden Lotus and Klaxxi to start, then August and Shado Pan next. The only ones that I really really hate so far are the PVP faction ones. It seems to me if they wanted to cap the amount of rep...

It's the interaction right? Cause your a people person right!? Face it man, the social aspect of EQ is never going to get recreated in exactly the same way it was before and the one surefire way to NOT get it back is to try to force it by making the same game again. Social interaction is...

what are you mad as fuk about bra? Not everyone can raid hard modes in WoW, why aren't you doing it? It requires group play.

The only way a game is going to feel fresh is with fresh ideas and fresh technology. The whole idea that we can re-skin EQ won't work. Even the people who think they will love it forever and ever will probably be bored in 3 months. Let's face it the EQ model of MMO is a cracked game and...

Yeah I've only been hearing that "new generation" line for the last ten years. Really, it's not the case at all. WoW has pretty distinct tiers of progression and not everyone completes hard modes with achieves within the expac and even fewer in a truly competitive timeframe. In all honesty...

I use MoveAnything to move around the OG UI and rescale it a bit. I also use Grid for raid frames. I should get Elv or something but I'm lazy.
