Now it might be because there's a lot of hardcore raiders hopping in there to try to get their tier pieces early, but still! I was quite surprised. Maybe it will be less agonizing that we all think!Radeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07258438792268722044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9015737272343810105.post-78132306159352423612011-11-29T13:44:51.848-05:002011-11-29T13:44:51.848-05:00@ Anon

I am usually the grumpy one saying the exact same things you said there.<br /><br />But look at it my way for a second.<br /><br />Your additions would be awesome but they would take time to make and implement.<br /><br />Now look at my #1 reason this is exciting. Because cataclysm is over.<br /><br />Personally, I would love something like you suggest but I do not want to play cataclysm for another 6 months more just so they can code it. Code it later, end this expansion now. <br /><br />Just my opinion of course.TheGrumpyElfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07621615711198405365noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9015737272343810105.post-24035698429340495632011-11-29T13:30:08.755-05:002011-11-29T13:30:08.755-05:00These are awesome and I agree are reasons to be ex...These are awesome and I agree are reasons to be excited, but also I can't help feeling a lack of imagination on Blizzard's part.<br /><br />The extra bag space is nice, but how about expanding on that in a more 'fun' way? Say - guild trophy rooms? Some place for us to show off our triumphs publicly or to new guild members? I know it's sort of prideful, but not when you look at it in the context of say - a guild's history (of which there is a lot now).<br /><br />I for one would love the ability to zone into a guild's trophy room and look at all of their accomplishments. And while at it, why not be able to zone into a guild's fortress as well?<br />Think of how much cooler it would be to level cooking while making courses for your guild feasts in its own kitchen with your other fellow cooks, or fishing in your guild castle's mote...<br /><br />Cooler shit in the game than "oh look, more bag space" might bring those subs back! <br /><br />Anyway, thanks for the post. I do think that these additions are good to be excited about for absolutely sure, I just wish they'd look beyond and give us something in the form of expanding the way the game is played instead of "more bag space". <br /><br />Sorry if this seems negative, it is not meant to be.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9015737272343810105.post-87509054697470465512011-11-29T11:35:05.828-05:002011-11-29T11:35:05.828-05:00@Raffles

I am sure the first week of raid finder will be hell as people learn the fight and get gear. After that, with more people knowing the fights and having a little more gear, the raid finder might be a little better.<br /><br />With that said, it does look like there will be a fair amount of new things to check out which is nice.<br /><br />I am really glad this cycle of the game is coming to a close. I've seen too many people quit playing and not enough new blood joining. <br /><br />It stands out a hell of a lot more when you are on a low pop server to begin with. I've noticed the losses a lot more then some other people because there are fewer people around normally, so losing even 20 people is really noticeable.TheGrumpyElfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07621615711198405365noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9015737272343810105.post-43561266028316496512011-11-29T11:21:10.246-05:002011-11-29T11:21:10.246-05:00"Deathwing took bigger chunks out of the subs..."Deathwing took bigger chunks out of the subscriber base than he did out of azeroth and this patch will be his death."<br /><br />Amen to that.<br /><br />Also rather enjoyed the "I am the grumpy elf, this is going to be food for writing for a long time to come." line, looking forward to reading those too. <br /><br />On a personal note, as 4.3 is dropping, I'll be re-subbing for one more month. I would still class myself as a WoW player, just one that has been disgruntled and alientated with the recent direction of the game, for pretty much all the reasons you've cited in several posts. But while I raid, I dont do nearly as much as you might and have simply run out of things to do. I hope we're on the road to recovery again.Rafflesnoreply@blogger.com
