pretty soon my monthly sub will be up, and ill f2p twink only. because i cant justify spending a monthly fee with the way 19s/29s are these days
QFT.
Was pretty close to having 19 twinks of every class to at least 90% of BiS, when Cataclysm made 4 classes viable, 2 passable, and the rest a joke (hunter, rogue, priest, paladin, mage, druid, warrior, shaman, warlock, respectively).
That shit they did with the talents, glyphs and spell levels, and the merging of stats took all the variety in how to play a class out of the game. No more frostbolt spamming CC frost mage with stam and int coming out the wazoo, but 0 spell power. No more AP stacking DoT hunter with damage to beat warlocks, and better utility too. No more insta GW earthbind spamming shammy FC. I made all those classes for variety, now everything is getting really samey.
Now if I want to pick talents it's pretty much one choice only, and you either get burst damage or burst healing. The game got dumbed down while the dev team got dumbed up with Goatballer in charge.
The one thing that kept me in the game was the twink community (most of you anyway
, thankfully the worst jerks stuck in XP-on), and the hope we might finally get a break and be able to play games and rebuild to what things were like in TBC.
Only trouble is Blizz are so bipolar when it comes to quality of ideas they end up messing up any good ones they had (or rather implemented, many good ones are suggested to them by the players).
Their achievements (not in exact order, can't be bothered hunting through Blizzard's shitty half assed patch notes):
- Leg armor, head libram and chest hp enchant nerf
- XP lock
- No queues for those who were kicked out for being OP, but weren't farming, while the farmers carry on as usual recycling in heirlooms.
- Having to get an 80 and farm heirlooms to compete in XP-on / having to pay to realm transfer existing twinks / re-rolling on new realms after a ton of work elsewhere
- Battlegroup merge (way too late).
- Wargames.
- Not working for twinks.
- Rated BGs.
- Only for endgame.
- WSG GY f-ed up.
- Removed Skirmishes.
- Wargames and queues partially fixed
- Rated BGs removed, retarded WSG GY change not reverted
- Serious mental retardation of talents, glyphs and spells (dumbed down would be a huge understatement), and yet complete inability to achive balance with a more simple system, and fewer possible talent specs
- Introducing F2P into the most f-ed up, neglected mess of levels in the game for PvP, while ensuring the rest of it is the same repetitive grind, now with added recycled content to make up for people getting through it too fast because it's dumbed down too much.
With more thumbs down than thumbs up they aren't earning what I'm paying, so I'm going F2P because at least then I'm getting my money's worth.
