Ok, this makes sense. This isn't what you said your reasoning was in your last post though. And this still isn't really them paying for a benefit to them as much as them paying being an annoyance to you, imo [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
I would expect that most of the people who would be buying a 60 are, like I said, people starting wow because they have buddies playing at max already or people who are skipping past stuff they've already done with other characters. Those people won't probably be polluting dungeon/raid finder with terrible play as much as learning/getting carried by buddies or being fine with the mechanics already cause they've already done then. But yeah, I can see that SOME more crappiness will exist in finders because of this, and that does suck. |
The rationale in my previous post, and the ones here, are not mutually exclusive, and the one in the last post directly builds off of, and responds to your critique of, the first one. The additional points about LFD/LFR are to emphasize the fact that people are already fucking stupid enough, without being able to pay past any learning experience. Any time you have a benefit, a product of work, and two people work with two levels of difficulty is an imbalance. A player needs to spend 2-3 days of intensive grinding (non-stop) to get to max level, whereas someone who pays for it gets there immediately. Two people get the same result, but have very different levels of work. This is fucked up (as per my first post, and elaborated in my second one).
I think you are giving way too much credit to the players in WoW. There are a lot of really fucking stupid players that cannot understand the basics of a rotation. I was also the main recruiter for my guild, and I hand selected every member that joined my guild... Nothing destroys your faith in people faster than taking up that role. So maybe I am negatively skewed, but I was also a tank that guided most groups, and people who cannot understand a concept like /follow just need to be beaten to death with a fucking brick.
I take a moral stance against this on the grounds that equal work deserves equal reward, and that getting to level 90 is a reward for a few day's work.
