I've run all the heroics and never see any PUG raids other than BH. I keep doing heroics for Valor Gear - but the 70 points per heroic makes it a marathon, and not a very fun one. I tried Zul'Aman once, and after 20+ wipes and 3 hours I simply ran out of time and patience. I need to be able to get in game, have a good time for 1 to 2 hours, then get the heck out. My schedule prevents anything that will take more than 2 hours at a stretch.<br /><br />Things I'd like to see if they'd make me King:<br /><br />1 - Heroic versions of all dungeons. Regular versions would still be for whatever level they were originally intended, but Heroic would be for whatever the max level is (currently 85). This would mean less running through the same 10 dungeons, and really open things up for something different.<br /><br />2 - Point system for all PVE gear. I should be able to run enough heroics (or do a long enough quest chain) to buy something that can otherwise only be found in raid dungeons. Make it a progression - X amount of Valor gets Item A. Then X amount of points plus Item A gets you Item B. etc. I've NEVER been in full tier gear because it's just not feasible to actually have a life and job and raid enough to collect all the tier gear. Apparently other people have the same problem, because I can't remember the last time I saw anyone in a full set of tiered gear.<br /><br />3. Better portal system between cities. This would make many zones more accessible and populated. Turn the Dal portals back on. Do the same for Shatt, etc. And then create a reason for those cities to be needed. As it stands, I don't need a city at all... I need a small village that contains:<br />- blacksmith<br />- AH<br />- bank<br />- general store with profession supplies<br />- reforger<br />- portals<br />That's it. Nothing bigger than Tarren Mill necessary.<br /><br />I'll probably think of other things to do if I was king, but that's a start.

I have both, many do. <br /><br />Personally I only know 5 people that quit wow for rift and only 2 of them actually canceled WoW, the other 3 still have accounts, they just never play.<br /><br />You might be right however, this might be a way to deflect the loss of players to show that they did not lose many.<br /><br />Sad part is, I think the few they did lose is because of something they did and not because of Rift. I play rift and I think it is a decent game but I would not leave wow for it. Just my personal opinion there.<br /><br />If WoW is ever going to die it will be WoW that kills WoW, not another game, no matter how good it is. People will just play both as long as WoW is still enjoyable.TheGrumpyElfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07621615711198405365noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9015737272343810105.post-80878443913667903332011-05-10T13:31:55.415-04:002011-05-10T13:31:55.415-04:00One thing that stuck out with me is...
