Yes, another WoW thread, go away.

So, this honor system? I've been reading the WoW forums, I can't post there for some reason, my login isn't accepted... Anyway, I have to say, it's re-iterated my belief that people online are 95% moronic. You get some people moaning and wanting to quit, others going 'it's pvp!!!!' and a few with brains in the middle being a bit rational.

I have been killed many times. I have been over powered by level ?? in groups, when I've been by myself. I've been fighting 2/3 monsters, and had a level 40 come up and help himself. I've had people see me, run off and come back with help.

They are whining at Blizzard on the forums. They seem to think their behaviour is entirely justified because Blizzard haven't done things exactly right. They're idiots. I want to play PvP - I realise that the world is a world of war. That does not excuse people being morons who have no notion of fun except their own geek needs. I KNOW it's a war - but for gods sake, it's also a game.

I like pvp - I've had some great fun. It'd just be nice if people would just stop for a second and realise that they are ruining it at times. I've got really annoyed (as guild members can testify ;) ) at idiots just ruining my game because they need to kill a player many levels below them, or they need to gang up and attack because they get 1 HK. I spared several lower levels today because I know how annoying it is - and when a horde starts on me, I give as good as I get, obviously, and often better, because I rule :D

I think this sums it up best - earlier, up in Arathi, I come across a same level Tauren fighthing a high level mob. I help kill it, and he runs off. I wave and go about my business. Half dead from fighting another 1/2, I could of done without him coming back and killing me. Idiots. Anyway, it's pvp, you can't expect everyone to be half witted.....AND people say 'oh ganking's fun!'. Erm, how? How is it fun? Grow up and give people a chance to play the game.

Meh, rant over. And stop raiding idiots! IT DOESN'T HELP YOU!

Hahahahaha sulk much?

Your face is red and you have flecks of spittle from your pouty lips.
And please feel free to point out where I'm "crying" instead of saying "It's really bad since the honour system".
And interestingly, a vast majority of gamers that aren't 24/7 lv50+ ubergamers are saying exactly the same thing.

Deal with it l33tboy

But to put it bluntly, you're whining but in just a lot more words.


"DEY KILLED ME!!12"


*Magic Goatboy transformation*


"The situation in World of Warcraft has deteriorated substantially in the passing days and I feel this is a minor problem to the world economics blah blah blah whine whine whine"



Do you see my whining anymore? Do you see me posting complaints over and over about deaths? Maybe I might comment on a guy killing me like 8-9 times but very rarely. Unlike you, you’ve become exactly what you call me, a sulking geek. So grow up or shut the f**k up with the crying.

And I have 112.

Difference is Creepy, you posted a screaming fit about being ganked by high level players and how unfair it is and we should make a blacklist of people's names etc.
And you were roundly laughed and jeered out of the Blizzard forums and never once had the balls to back up your original post.

My post was a non-shouty, non-sulky reflection on how the new honour system has made it near impossible to play WoW in the style it was intended to.
And didn't recieve one single complaint in response. Surprisingly had some replies from people that felt the same.

You want to know what hypocrite is?
Whining about being raped by high-level players yet doing the same, leading low-level characters to their death and acting in the exact same manner that you threw your toys out of the pram about originally.
I haven't whined or screamed about it, simply indicated how difficult it has become to advance characters now that high-levels are attacking everything in sight.

And as a matter of interest, how many honour points do you have?
Be honest now

Unfortunately not, neither does trying to tame random cats you see on a post round.
Standing in the middle of a Harlow estate with hands held high trying to cast a spell results in mild amusement/fear from passers-by.
Oddly, my stealth actions are just as poor in real-life as in WoW - as the baffled and angry pensioner who kept shouting "I can see you" as I attempted to pick a lock to gain entry into Willowfield Tower

Interestingly, Blizzard are running a competition where you can win top-of-the-line graphics cards for harvesting honour points.
"From when the patch is implemented until May 24th".
Great, so not only has the fundemental gameplay shifted from an awesome exploration of the best video-world created ever but the developers are offering real-world rewards for being psychotic towards other players.

Oddly I did put a topic in the WoW Europe Forums after yet another attempt at playing was reduced to mindless killing and fleeing.
And even more oddly it wasn't flamed by idiots.
But yeah, I'll email it to Blizzard. I dont expect any change whatsoever from one insignificant bloke in England emailing but I've enjoyed this game so much that it's breaking my heart to see it degenerate before my very eyes.

*shrugs*
