I find this statement to be very..idiotic. Let's look at chess for example, a game that is hundreds and hundreds of years old, yet people still play it competitively and seriously. Here we are playing EQ, a game that's 10 years old and people keep saying "y so serious this game is 10 years old zomgz". The age of what we are playing does not matter, what matters is our personalities that state whatever we are doing, we want to be the best at it. Whether it is playing chess - a game hundreds of years old, playing p99 - a game 10 years old, or wiping our asses. Some people out there are competitive and therefore want to be the best at whatever they are doing.

PLEASE PEOPLE STOP BRINGING UP THIS IS A 10 YEAR OLD GAME AND WE SHOULD BE LESS SERIOUS ABOUT IT.

Thanks.

So if it is hard for you to believe some of us wonder why all the hate over a game that has been checkmated years ago......Well lol is all I have to say.

You need to chill out a bit and take a breath,or try a chess match sometime.

WoW raiding on an emulated of classic would be...Yawn...Borrring at best.

Yeah, in this chess analogy, it's not us vs. vox. It's (let's say) IB vs. Trans. Vox is merely my knight to rook 7!


We don't go into a vox raid saying OMG I HOPE WE WIN. We go in saying OMG I HOPE WE GET SOMETHING THAT MAKES US BETTER.

and, basically, this rotation reduced the chess game down each side having 1 pawn in the same row. We each get steps up but no one gains the edge on the other. Because there's no competition. So why is there friction? We're banging the top of our pawns against each other in the middle of the damn board, trying to find a way around each other.


Any of you may send me a tell in game congratulating me on an analogy well done.
