    Cheating? Where? The AI uses normal data, it doesn't have any underground access to hidden stuff. All the elements I have mentioned are available either on your client (location, action, casting, player inspect), or on the web (detailed spell list, statistical models). The AI is only cheating...

    And there's a relatively good reason for that. Good AI is not fun to play against. Imagine that you're in a PvP match against someone who's mildly retarded (IQ wise) but has millisecond reflexes, knows exactly the amount of damage to the decimal of the spell you're currently casting, can...

    There isn't much you can do in that direction. If the items are relatively rare, then they must take large amounts of either: - Luck (low random chance) - Time (farm dungeons, materials, whatever) - Opportunity (be there at the right time or miss it) The camping mobs you don't want is...

    Guild Wars 2

    P2P. You pay for the game like a normal game, then you don't have any subscription afterward. The gem store (gems purchased with $/?/?/whatever or traded in-game for gold from those who paid) gives you additional stuff, like extra bank, extra char slots, some random stuff you can get in-game...

    Well, now what?

    Yes. You and the other 10,000 on the server, including the 40 people around you in front of that bone dragon. This is where the whole storyline-you're-our-only-hope model breaks down in most moderns MMO. Most moderns MMO aren't MMO, they're slightly stretched single player RPGs who just...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Yet again. Notice that the new VP items are locked to a NEW rep. Also, when they talked about how they wanted another Ulduar, I didn't expect that to mean a 12-boss zone+1 heroic only literally...

    It's far easier to maintain a domain active (no change to anything, pay 8$ per year or so) than to try to switch the servers to a new domain, and THEN have to track every reference to it (especially if you obfuscated them to make it harder for people to develop emus - which I don't think they...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    That's also my reading of the questline. Besides, we do know that the last raid is dislodging GarroSha from Orgrimmar, and devs seem to be satisfied with 3 primary raid tiers, and apparently expect to tide the time between tiers by having a 5.1 (and possibly a 5.3) being additional non-raid...

    Why? From what I hear, SOE is usually in the black and keeps on being a profitable - if not world smashing - business unit for Sony, in a time where vagaries of consumer demand puts them in the red regularly. Why would Sony fire the manager of one of their profitable subsidiairies UNLESS it...

    Eve system is "the cloth maketh the man". How you play is defined by your equipment, and your skills let you use (or use more efficiently) your equipment. Actually, it would be more on the lines of "if you spend them on wands and lightning, you can throw equip a nice lightning bolt wand". If you...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    As above, do some BG to get honor and purchase 458 upgrades to your 450 blues. Or, if you already have enough JP, use the ilvl upgrade from justice points to upgrade your weapon and biggest items (torso/legs/head), which, given you want to avoid "30k gold epics" mean you are probably still...
