The Like/Hate Thread

[Kaden]

Edit: Also, I believe in the majority should have final opinions in a game, afterall, is is their game. Considering the vast majority of the people who play WoW don't care about pugging 25mans or 10 mans enough to actually "do" anything, or even really voice concern, it's not important. Now, if you say the forum goers care, that's just silly. I don't think even 1 million players of wow frequent the forums, when there's 11.5 million players.

Now, if you can show me that the majority of the people who play the game hate the lockouts, I'll agree. Until then, I stand by the fact it's not important.

Also, I stand by the fact that it is a logical choice. If you can run through content twice as much, you will get gear that much faster. Then it is far more likely for you to be sitting around waiting for new gear for months. It isn't needed, and it isn't a smart business plan.

The issue isn't actually what's "important" or not. It's whether or not someone should be able to infringe upon how someone else chooses to play the game.

Because you don't think something is important, you think other people shouldn't have that option available to them. To shift it to a more familiar paradigm, that would be like me saying "I think saiyans are dumb so people on Chubbs can't be saiyans." Even if 75% of the RPG agreed with me it makes no sense whatsoever because it segregates part of the player base while giving nothing back to the community as a whole.

Let's say that, in WoW, Paladins were way over-powered and stomping through the game and performing healing/tanking/dps better than any other class. Blizzard looks at that and ends up over-nerfing Paladins. That's an action that segregates a part of the player base (the part that were playing Paladins to be a Paladin, not to use the most OP class) but benefits the community as a whole by bringing things back to into parity (or close). That's a decision that makes sense.

Unless removing an option benefits the player-base as a whole, there's never a reason to remove it. Taking it out just because it's "unimportant" makes no sense. It infringes on one player's ability to enjoy the game the way they want to enjoy it while giving nothing back.
