The acquisition is facing pretty stiff pushback everywhere but (hilariously) China and Microsoft has really pissed off the FTC so... I'd not be thinking too much about this for a long while

There's no hate. A statement of fact doesnt come with a judgement of morality. I merely rephrased what the man himself said, in this very thread: And referenced another post in which he positively acknowledged being called selfish. But maybe you guys have a hang up with the word "selfish"...

only because noone does 19s and after mounts became available at 10, it kinda killed the only unique thing 19s had going for it.

I'm merely repeating what he himself has said. On the first page of this thread, no less.

the idea here specifically is that traffiker himself would do a lot more oneshotting if there were more 20s and less 29s He's pretty open about how selfish this whole enterprise is. More 20s means more targets for him.

just having the smallest amount of patience.

you and your boostee just que the random dungeon finder together till you end up in the same one, then que dungeons together from there.

The entire point of the trading post is to incentivize maintaining an active account even during content down times. Just look at how its built. "here's a monthly treat and once you turn in 12 months of treats, here's a special treat for being such a good little boy" Allowing people to acquire...

I remember getting to the late 50s and early 60 with a small group of guys who had come over from Everquest. It was just me, my GF at the time and like 4 of them. And we all kind of learned the game together. BRD runs at that time remain one of my favorite memories. Its still, to this day, my...

well whatever it is, its definitely not a level 20

Yep. One of the results of the que merge was that the vast, vast majority of people who played 20s because it was the only option went to 29. And then it appears many of them took the opportunity to just quit twinking altogether when DF shuffled the gearing meta. The people left at 20 are...

Giving you the benefit of the doubt here... Historically, theres been some lag time between a sub ending and that sub being recognized as able to que for BGs. An odd little 1 hour window or so as the status of the account on the client side and the server side were at odds for a bit. Maybe...

just a pitch perfect youtube-esque title, too excellent work

The people wanted level scaling. The people wanted gear scaling. The people wanted legacy content nerfed to the ground so it could be easily solo'd for collectors. The people got exactly what they asked for. And they fucking hate it. Shocker.

ah, yes. so who has that power? ah, only game devs have power. And you believe *only* the devs have that power. So, yea. You're gonna get pushback on that.

Someone didnt watch Why Its Rude To Suck At Warcraft and the discussion around player decisions, developer control, free/instrumental play and the feedback loop of paratext and broadly adopted community expectations dramatically shifting the way a game is developed over time. no *youre* trying...

But it can and it does. Look at the social consensus around, say, Diablo 2 speedrunning and whether segment runs were kosher, running without sound to limit file loading times, etc. All practices adopted and abandoned around mutual consent built up in a community over time that influenced player...

yea, i think he did a really good job here. And to bring it around to twinking, I think the boys in the 20s arena scene did a great job of hitting this sweet spot. Although all the serious guys are light years ahead of me, I never felt like they were talking down to me or just stomping me for...
