How could blizzard have missed the formula ? If you want to be an item-centric game, make sure your items value lasts a good while and don't negate them so quickly . If everquest was able to make gear that can still be…
Blizzard hasn't opened any new servers since TBC launched, and they're probably not going to be opening any more as several of the new servers are severely underpopulated. Some people have an irrational obsession with rolling on a new server, but it…
This one is amusing, you're saying that WOW is bad for gaming because it's a reasonably complete game and that people expect other MMOs to actually be functional at release? I think if I'm paying $50 + $15/month for a game, it should work when I sta…

Seriously, do you not know what WOW is like or did you skip reading her posts? She doesn't want to raid or PVP but wants to have the best items for PVE grouping, which is very much …

Yes, people already do it and nobody cares. People in Nihilum by gold for repairs and mats. It doesn't diminish anyones respect for them.
