I forgot to do my Harrison Jones daily on my Paladin yesterday. Hurrah for having to wait 6 days to get him now!

Right and I'm not arguing that WoD is shit, there's nothing to do, or any of that (well WoD is a turd but not because of dailies). I'm saying I hate how Blizzard tends to use dailies. I hate when they do gate shit behind dailies with no other means of advancement and that seems to be the...

You'll have to forgive me for not realizing they put in a non bind on equip bag in WoD and I had forgotten about traveler's backpacks (I'm pretty sure those were BoE originally). And it might be easier to make Netherweave bags now, but those didn't exist in vanilla and that's when I made all my...

Well, firstly the argument wasn't that I longed to go back to the days of yore. It was that dailies were fine as originally implemented (supplemental advancement) and suck as implemented today. If a reputation only takes 5 hours to grind I'm only getting 5 hours worth of content whether I do it...

Are you being sarcastic?

I don't think it's fair to compare drinking miller lite to a dick in the ass. How about a dick in your mouth?

The only one of the bugs you mentioned I ever experienced was the loot animation bug, I never even heard of everything else you listed. Queues weren't a bug, they just obviously didn't plan well enough for release server load. I guess transferring to a low pop server on day 2 was worthwhile...

Champagne in 90 degree heat? You devil.

You guys are pretty much talking only about raids, which were a very small part of vanilla. So yea, as someone who stopped raiding because my guild fell apart trying to kill Razorgore I had a different experience than you guys. I'm not really a Blizzard apologist I just think overall it wasn't...

Well, I never raided BWL so yea, that would be why I don't remember any of that. But how long did all that stuff stay broken? Rathe Council long? But vanilla WoW had a lot of content and percentage wise, I feel comfortable saying very little of it was broken and the stuff that was usually got...

Blizzard has come a long way from hiring gamers who had no experience in the video game industry other than being raid guild leaders and listening to everything they and other gamers like them wanted in a game to telling the people who play their games "Blizzard knows best".

Welp, doesn't matter anyway. I need exalted with The Lorewalkers not the Klaxxi.

How does the champion a faction thing work in MoP? I would like to raise Klaxxi rep to make my archaeology farm faster if it makes it so I can do relatively quickly but I can't seem to find any good information on it. What are the "various activities" I get rep for while championing a faction?

I like WoW as a game for the most part. I'm an altoholic and enjoy the leveling aspect of the game quite a bit. I just really, really, really hate dailies.

Bahn Mis are sandwiches. Sandwiches are delicious. They are A-OK in my book

No but I think your taste buds might be broken.

It was also not a bad grind because of the tabard system.

Come on now... they release like 40 hours of new content once a year. They gate it to hide the fact that they aren't really keeping up their end of the bargain. And they do that because they can, because people eat it up anyway or make excuses for them and say ridiculous things like "It's a...

Stopped reading when he started talking about why it's not simple to just roll back an MMOG like it is with a single player game like he's never heard of source control. Apparently only single player games can be checked into source control. Which came right after his first paragraph where he's...

How long do you think they keep older versions in source control? Because there is no reason for a company that has made this much money not to keep each version forever.

Blizzard is pumping out content in an expedited manner these days?

This guy has obviously never been to China Town in NYC. And also likely never been to China, where they club rats on the street and then cook and sell them

And that's the biggest issue. They add about 5 hours of gameplay but make the end goal artificially blocked by 21 days of dailies that take 20 minutes and are no different than your normal levelling quest. Dailies don't add very much content to the game at all. They hide the fact that there is...

Pho. The most overrated food on the planet.

Me personally? Yes definitely, because with my poopsock to reward I can either straight up grind nonstop, or grind a little bit here and there the same way I can with dailies. But honestly having BOTH would be the best option. I can ignore the dailies if I hate them and just grind, do both to...

Good because you say so? Good because there's no other way to accomplish things than artificial "Blizzard thinks this should take 21 days" time blocks? I didn't avoid any questions, you and Itzena seem to think dailies are necessary for some reason and I can't fathom why. The fact that you...

Here's my Ret Pally from fresh 100 to ilvl 701 in about 6 hours of those Hydra Ashran premades: Jacson @ Korgath - Community - World of Warcraft It's really fast and definitely worth doing.

Come on Foggy... seriously? Dailies are the only way to put content into a game? No man, dailies are the way Blizzard artificially cockblocks your goals so you HAVE to stay subbed for longer periods of time if you want something they are gating. They aren't putting any real content into the damn...

Pinko commie bastards

And yet, here we are, with tons of shit dailies, and more to come in Legion, which is what we're discussing. You catching up yet?

You're not too bright huh? Dailies have been an issue since WoTLK, nobody said it's the sole reason WoD sucks. Dailies have sucked since they moved away from being supplemental right after sunwell was released and moved to the current bullshit they are now. So... they've been shit going on like...

Red Robin has always offered all you can eat fries. I'm assuming this new McDonald's will have a similar menu/pricing.

They even progress the servers as people beat the content in each expansion and they are very popular. That's what makes that "You think you do, but you don't" quote from that video so laughable.

I don't remember much broken content in Vanilla. Sure there were bugs like the MC raid lockouts where people would get ported to the wrong instance (even cross faction instances) but those were fixed relatively quickly and there weren't many bugs like that. Shit balancing sure (Scholo/Strath...

You're right Itzena, there has never been a successful game in the history of games that didn't have everything hidden behind once per day 24 hour cooldowns. WoW only has enough content to last people a week? Sounds like a shit sandwich of a game. You can't even make a cogent point.

Don't gate it. Gated content has always been, and will always be terrible. What point is there to making someone wait X number of days before they can get something no matter when they try to accomplish it? Ever gone back and tried to do old content for various rewards only to be cockblocked...

I didn't move the goal posts at all. My point was always that dailies would be fine if they weren't the only means of advancement in an area of the game. The problem is there are far, far too many aspects of this game that require you to do dailies to progress through. There shouldn't be any...

You're talking about one aspect of the game. Getting raid ready. I couldn't care less about that. Want to get your crafting recipes? Once a day books you need up to 5 of for the recipe. Want to fly in Draenor? Dailies. Want certain mounts tied to most reps? Dailies. Want to upgrade your gear...

Dailies were originally intended to just give casual players a mode of progression that was more in tune with the pace they liked to play so they wouldn't get left completely behind. The implementation at first was fine, in fact it was pretty good. Think of things like the Netherwing reputation...

What happened in WoD is not normal.
