More than half of Blizzard's level 60 customers have not yet experienced their game game content

More than half of Blizzard's level 60 customers have not yet experienced their game game content. It is the perfect irony that they are adding new end game content every few months. You may ask who are the 60s that have not experience the game end content? Obviously the casual players. People with life have quitted and people who do not have a lot of time have quitted. The friends I met from playing WOW have suddenly stopped comming online. I wonder where they've go. More than half of them have stopped comming online and it's been 8 months. So all the casual players have left the game and you end up with people who are hardcore and have a lot of damn time. THat consist of people with part-time jobs, unstable jobs and the majority will be high school teens. They brag how much gear they have and it's just annoying to talk to one of these kids. They are stubborn and narrow minded and most of all a kid. I am a hardcore player and that is why I have my tier 1 and tier 2 set. I have experience the victory of defeating every single boss in WOW. That is because I spend a great deal of time playing WOW and also my fortune of being in a good raiding guild. Every server usually have only 3-5 top raiding guilds that is capable of killing every single boss. And then about 10 small guilds that is capable of killing everything in MC but maybe not rag. SO what are your chances of getting into the top guilds? Very minimal. They probably want you to raid everyday and be very active or you have at least your TIER 1 set. I was kicked from a top guild after getting my Tier 1 set because I have missed 3 raids. Another thing you should be aware of is that the bosses that drop good loots usually respawn once a week. And the bosses that will drop the items you can use is about 10 percent. And keep in mind there are 39 other people that raid with you and about 3 more people are the same class as you that need the gear as well. So statistically you need to raid quite often to equip yourself with the gear. You need to have tier 1 set before you can do BWL to get your tier 2 and aq 40. ZG and AQ20 is doable with some of your tier 1 or no tier 1. But these are the small guilds I was talking about so they probably will wipe very often and your chances of gearing yourself is small. Again, I have my teir 1 and teir 2 set... that is because I am in one of the top 3 guilds of my server and also I spend a lot of damn time into it. I might think to myself the grind is over... but wait I forgot Blizzard will add a new end game dugeon in a few months. The grind is not over!

Actually, you don't have to be a hardcore player to get epic items. They are accesible for casuals too, just bring some imagination.
My screenshot gallery.
well you are kinda right
i have a 60 lvl rogue with the champion's pvp set and some gear from high lvl instances ...... my guild does MC ZG and AQ 20 man , we killed like 1 or 2 bosses in every of those endgame instances but we can't get further .
So because i can't enjoy endgame content i just do PVP and battlegrounds for epix , i got the lobotomizer the darkmoon neck and the elemental deck trinket don julios band and that AV trinket (i don't rly use it :S) .
most important is that i have a friendly guild and i enjoy playing . but blizzard should do smth with the endgame content :S ......
Wait.. you're telling me all I have to look foreward to when I hit 60 is collect a set of suff I don't want?
/cancel
Oh wait.. you're wrong. I don't have to cancel.

I don't like it when you say things. - A Vanguard fan who does too.

2 top raiding guilds * 2 factions * 65 accounts * ~130 realms * $14.99/month = $506,662.00/month
New content every few months, w/ a cockblock for added sustainability, is a small price to pay for Blizzard to keep those elite accounts.
The main reasons casuals quit is because after you have all of your 5/10 man gear and pvp faction gear (not rank - its impossible to get as a casual, but faction) there are no options left. That's why Blizzard upped the epic drops in those instances, to give people who cannot raid an incentive to keep playing for atleast a little while longer.
edit: my scewy math
You CAN handle the truth...it's just really slippery.
Shayde man whats up lol, still got that Its dead jim sign, good stuff........I have to totally agree once again with you that end game items are not worth it, in fact the fun is going from 1 to 59, once you hit 60 it's all downhill, especially in a game where the only thing that counts is what items you got, give me a f**** break blizzard, really overdone on the items this time, get a life all you homos and lesbos quitting your work and what not to do end game just to brag like the bunch of geeks that you are, and brag about what, some stupid nerdy items?
Damn, worse community ever seen in an mmo, by far. Really need to rethink the strategy on items there blizzard. But than I guess, your going for quantity and not quality, big time shit end game here.
1. Word walls...... what's wrong with using paragraphs?!??!!
2. "More than half..." is it just me or is this totally unsupported? more than half of your level 60 friends might not be a raider, but that doesnt mean more than half of all level 60s havent raided before. You are claiming something unsupported.
3. What's wrong with killing 1-2 bosses only per run? Do you think the top end guilds cleared the instance the first time they ran it? Either learn to raid, or find a new raid. If you arent willing to stick by your guild to learn the instance, then I'm thankful you arent in my guild.
4. I'm not the type to say this... but cry more n00b!!!
it is exactly the fact that the boss monsters respawn in a week that gives casuality to WoW Raid system. You do not have to do Molten core in a night. not even in 2 nights. you can take the whole week to do it! Considering each sub-boss you kill eliminate some of the thrash spawns, it is clear how the system was designed: to be played over the course of different days and not in a single 10 hours long marathon.
Yes, it needs planning and effort, but then it is a freacking huge achievement for anyone to bring Ragnaros down.
I personally never reached end-game (i never do, in any mmorpg i played), but two close friends of mine did and have been now raiding to their heart content for the last 5 months and show no sign of stopping. Yes they take pauses sometime, but the tight raid community they found (made of roleplayers even) keep them coming back for more.
And is not that random as you make it out. Most if not all guilds use the DKP system, meaning you can use your points on the item you want when you want it, others might have more points and stuff, but is much fairer system than just plain random rolling.
That beings said, smaller, more focused dungeons are more than welcome in the expansion and everywhere! I would also be interested to know what other forms of end game you have found beside PvP and raids, those seems to me the only two existing not only in WoW but in basically every other game released. I would be curious to see other types, so let us know when you come up with something!

Well I've played the crap out of well and the raid systems leaves much to be desired. The game that started out as quite fun for everyone. Has turned into a hardcore grind. You grind instances for gear and these take hours to do now its not something you can do in a few hours with some random people. You need the raid gear to pvp and if your a rogue good luck getting into a raiding guild.
The game is quite good and well built but the raid system means you have to have a lot of time to play I'm waiting to see what the expansion adds to the game. Frankly I think there should be a way for causal gamers to get the tier 2 items or something of equal value doing casual stuff. Make it take like 6 months or something if you have to but the raid system is why I left for the second time it ws fun in winter when there was not much to do but now its nice out and WoW just is not a casual game.
