    I'd imagine "their side" would be a somewhat more polite version of "We want to make a popular online game that turns a profit, not a loss-making virtual care-home for a tiny group of basket cases".

    They're adding new VP gear as well i.e. going back to how the gearing systemusedto work. Somewhere in Blizzard, someone is quietly being taken aside to a small room and being asked to explain how their 'wonderful' idea of gear upgrading turned out to be such an omnishambles.

    You have to admit that it's hilarious, though - watching people complain about 'the grind' in WoW then other people bitch in the "EQ Next" and "What now?" threads about how WoW is a game for ADD-riddled babbies with no timesinks or challenges at all. Anyway, Blizzard has come to their senses...

    Just make possession of a firearm a capital offence, and then sell licences to people for the purpose of bounty-hunting gun owners (while neglecting to mention that the license in no way removes the crime of gun ownership). Then put it all on pay-per-view. It'd be like deathmatching but in...

    FFIX was essentially a love letter to the older (SNES/NES) FF games by theoriginalSquaresoft people, before most of them quit and Square forgot how to make decent games.

    MoP's actually got a bit like that as well. Nowhere near as much as GW2 et. al. but it's certainly a step in the right direction. I mean, one of the faction added is literally based around "Go find glowy scroll, read backstory. Collect all X parts of one story, go see Lorekeeper Sho, get...

    Any guild which portrays itself primarily as a 'progression guild' isalwaysgoing to be full of rampant pillocks. The trick is to find a guild that doesn't see itself as a 'progression guild' but is still actually good at raiding.
