I can totally understand the urge to QQ a bit, and that's perfectly fair, and I understand rants that go on longer than they really should, when you get started. I just thought it should be pointed out that the hyperbole was making it a lot harder to see anything other than the QQing, whether you had a valid point or not.<br /><br />Take care!Applehttp://azerothapple.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9015737272343810105.post-77477692215880763962011-03-28T12:56:19.693-04:002011-03-28T12:56:19.693-04:00@Oestrus

As for the inscription thing I was going somewhere with that in my head but some how it never made it to the page. Sorry about that.<br /><br />@Apple<br /><br />It was really just a QQ that rambled on too long. I do not post on the forums. Never have and never will. But your idea is fantastic and even if I write something for my own uses I should consider writing them as if I where writing them directly for the devs. Might make getting my point across, right or wrong, a lot easier.<br /><br />As for Rift, I play Rift, I just don't care enough about it to complain about it. I like WoW so I complain about things I do not like about it. If I didn't like WoW I would not feel the need to complain because I would not care.<br /><br />Thanks for taking the time to comment.TheGrumpyElfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07621615711198405365noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9015737272343810105.post-46002133666655576662011-03-28T12:37:11.843-04:002011-03-28T12:37:11.843-04:00I'm not going to say that I am as upset by rea...I'm not going to say that I am as upset by reading your post as others are, but I will say that I had a very hard time keeping up with your line of thinking and that I felt your post didn't stay on one constructive topic.<br /><br />You seemed to have a sound argument towards why you felt the ingredients for making flasks were fine the way that they previously were. It isn't an issue that I have encountered and I can be as anal or OCD as it gets! It's a personal issue or complaint that you have and you were voicing it very well and explaining it just the same. <br /><br />Then the discussion veered towards how extra herbs could be considered a waste. As a progression raider, I can tell you that there is no such thing as an herb going to waste. You always need flasks or potions or volatiles for something. Someone will always need these things. <br /><br />I wish I could look in my bank and see extra herbs laying around, instead of scraping the bottom of the barrel to find the mats to make certain things that I want. I wish I had that problem!<br /><br />After that, the discussion turned towards how Inscription is going to be obsolete once certain trends come to pass. How does this have anything to do with herbs? Herbs don't make Inscription obsolete, the Darkmoon Cards going out of style and the availability of glyphs already out there are going to do that. I don't see how the two concepts tie together. <br /><br />Then we go back to the economy and at that point you lost me. I really wanted to follow along. I really wanted to see where this would go and it didn't take me towards the destination that I had in mind. <br /><br />The only constructive feedback that I would share with you is that if you want to sell people on a concept and you want them to understand how you feel and to possibly feel the same, you need to really sell the concept and really bring out those feelings in the person who is reading your work. If they can't follow along, they are not going to relate. <br /><br />Maybe that's not your goal and I understand that. That's just what I would do, if I were in your shoes.<br /><br />Please take care and thank you for listening.Oestrushttp://thestoriesofo.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9015737272343810105.post-62283872924607305512011-03-28T11:49:10.250-04:002011-03-28T11:49:10.250-04:00Y'know, there ARE ways to talk about things yo...Y'know, there ARE ways to talk about things you enjoy without paring it down to one sentence, or being boring. And there ARE ways of expressing frustration without making it "All QQ all the time". If you'd written a post about how you were frustrated by the changes, and then maybe came up with a solution other than "change it back", or even a good, rational reason to "change it back", and maybe copied it to the Dev forums... hey, that might have a chance of getting a Dev's attention and making them re-evaluate the changes!<br /><br />As it is? Reading this post, all I can see is "WAH WAH BLIZZARD SUCKS THEY RUINED THE GAME I TOTALLY HATE THIS GAME THAT I'M STILL PAYING FOR THEY SHOULD DO EVERYTHING I WANT BECAUSE I PAY FOR IT BUT THEY DON'T SO THEIR GAME SUCKS." Do you really think that? I don't know, but that's the sense I get from a post complaining about this that include things like, "Remember the saying, if it ain't broke don't fix it? Well, in Blizzard they have a saying, if it ain't broke, break it, we can't have people expecting a well designed game now can we."<br /><br />If you think this game sucks so much, go play Rift or something. Why would you keep paying for a game you hate so thoroughly?Applehttp://azerothapple.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9015737272343810105.post-56406290536333504192011-03-28T11:38:07.915-04:002011-03-28T11:38:07.915-04:00@Icedragon
Sorry, must have not phrased that one ...@Icedragon<br /><br />Sorry, must have not phrased that one correctly. What would you think the reason is. I only ask because I can't think of a good reason and blizzards reason of it needed to many herbs makes no sense because it didn't.<br /><br />It goes along the same lines of blizzard saying they removed volley because they did not want hunters having a magical spell and then made an entire spec based on magical damage. It makes no sense.<br /><br />And you are right, I do not point out all of the things I like about it because I like them. Nothing to say on that point. If I like something the post would be one sentence long.<br /><br />I like Uldum. I like HoO. I like harder heroics. I like the singing sunflower, it makes me laugh. I like a lot. <br /><br />See how boring of a post that would make?<br /><br />Also, there is nothing I would change there so it is not worth writing about.TheGrumpyElfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07621615711198405365noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9015737272343810105.post-44328576155116398332011-03-28T10:56:48.202-04:002011-03-28T10:56:48.202-04:00Then it must not be as bad as you make it sound.
...Then it must not be as bad as you make it sound.<br /><br />"I would just ask you to try and name one reason why it was changed.

I complain because I like to complain....@Icedragon<br /><br />I complain because I like to complain. I know it will change nothing and in the end it really makes no difference what me or anyone else says. The change just makes no sense to me.<br /><br />I bitch, complain and rip apart how horrible this expansion is but the fact still remains that WoW is leaps and bounds better then anything of its ilk out there. That does not change the fact that it is bad. It is just better then the stuff that is worse.<br /><br />Just because I do not like how things are being done does not mean I pack up and quit. Just like all the fan boys can say how great things are I can complain. It is really a matter of opinion and we are both allowed to voice them.<br /><br />At the end of the day, for as much as I complain, I still play. I just vent, it makes me happy to vent, I move along. Such is life.<br /><br />I do not think of you as a troll, just someone with differing opinions. We are all entitled to them.<br /><br />I would just ask you to try and name one reason why it was changed. One good reason... not one Blizzard reason.TheGrumpyElfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07621615711198405365noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9015737272343810105.post-25141302999383661102011-03-28T10:22:28.517-04:002011-03-28T10:22:28.517-04:00I can feel the anger...

What's the point in fussing over something if you continue to throw money at it anyway? It's like pitching a fit over a model of a car but still being a hypocrite and driving it. Go play some other game if Blizzard is really that terrible over this one little issue.<br /><br />The price of volatiles went up. Boo hoo, go farm your gold to buy them because it's easier than ever to make gold. You already admitted that you benefited from the higher price of volatile fire (fishing it then selling it at a high price) yet you lament it.<br /><br />I'm not trying to sound like a troll here, but none of your fussing makes any sense to me. Yes, it's an inconvenience with the change but it isn't a game-shattering change. But maybe to you it is, in which case you're probably better off leaving the game rather than sitting around whining about how much it sucks.<br /><br />It's not productive. It doesn't get anything accomplished. It doesn't make the problem change. On the contrary, making constructive posts in the forums (rather than just fussing over something or demanding that it be changed back) can help the devs with suggestions and feedback.Icedragonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08453563907934635791noreply@blogger.com
