It's clear that far too many people are far too invested in this "game". This idea that time and effort are disrespected by giving others a chance to experience content that have normal lives proves those people are hopelessly addicted and see pixels and boss killing as some sort of achievement. One day these servers will disappear, and if you feel even a shred of anything beyond "Bummer, well I guess I'll go do something else," then you need to seriously re-evaluate your life.

Spot on. Can't trust addicts! There is a difference between an addict and a player.

Sant I think you kind of missed their point. They weren't saying that expansions like Luclin added raid content for casuals. They were saying that because the hardcore guilds moved on to the new expansion's raid content, the casual guilds were then able to easily access and kill raid content from the prior expansions.

This is generally true. And it wasn't that bad for the casual guilds because expansions were regularly released. So you might be doing the content a little late, but it was still challenging and fun and not as monopolized as when the current game state was that expansion. It didn't happen instantly overnight (ex. for awhile people were still raiding ToV when Luclin came out), but eventually that's how things shook out.

For what it's worth, I'm not completely opposed to the draft or smaller guilds experiencing content within their own circle of friends and family. However, I think it should be limited towards not affecting the overall human interaction of the entire Project in any meaningful way. I believe we've exceeded that point by far with the combination of drafts and quake meta.

You just don't like the quake meta because it means your guild can't monopolize every single spawn by no-lifing P99. There are still occasional pop days where you're able to do this, and server resets tended to happen on live back in the day at the same rate P99 is quaking things. So it's classic.

quake meta is fun.

don't worry, eventually riot will buckled under the internal strain of having a system designed to encourage activity that's being applied in a context where a lot of that activity is useless make work. when they split, maybe one of the two resulting orgs won't have you blacklisted and you'll be able to sock raid mobs to your heart's content.

Blacklisted? Sounds racist. Blacklisted for what? I apologized for that one and only train on vulak immediately after it happened.
