How do people that have so little understanding of the mechanics and reality have power over hundreds? It's incredible.
Once you step back and realize this is the sad truth of raiding on this server, it makes it much easier to say goodbye to p99

Death of WoW


It's happening everywhere. Adapt to a less hardcore mentality not because CSG is a thorn in your side, but because, realistically, you don't have the juice. No one does. Relax, the server will still be here if AG takes 65 minutes to kill Sevalak instead if 60. ( btw we cothed up and killed everything from PoM to Sevalak other than the wurms which we ran out of time and botched).



I don't think the goodwill that's keeping players in the game will last forever. After all, we still have months until the next expansion, Legion. In the past it was relatively easy to deal with these long "content droughts" by fighting our way through harder versions of the existing dungeons, but for World of Warcraft's increasingly older and comparatively devoted "old guard," that's simply not possible anymore. So many of us are approaching middle age now. Many others have already reached it. Ain't nobody got time for that.

It's partly why Taulbee quit earlier this year. He finds he just can't stomach the commitments necessary for his former achievements. When his current guild asked him to start raiding four nights a week to progress through one of Warlords of Draenor's raid instances, he just walked away and started devoting his time to games he could enjoy to their fullest on his free time. It's a mindset that's shared by Michael, our former guild leader, who hasn't played World of Warcraft since 2012 and who spends much of the free time he formerly devoted to games like World of Warcraft in shorter, match-based multiplayer games like League of Legends.

"I have time for raiding, to be honest," he says, "but there's a difference between having time and being able to say 'Yes, you can rely on me to be on from 7 to 11 on this night.'"

World of Warcraft's future thus depends on its ability to adapt to these circumstances

That bottom section should be in quotes. Sorry I'm bad at forums.

WoW Adapted. Rogean's attitude is answer to none. It shouldn't surpsie you of the mentatility this server has with it's host and creator with a well documented mindset as such. Then again you would just say you're not surprised, you would twist you're reasoning as a justified hero for the common man. Clearly Sirken has been as much of an advocate for the casual mindset. Answer my question.

Honest question:
Why are you not interested in instance raiding? You seem to really want to play the game your way. In an instance you could do exactly. On top of which you wouldn't ever have to interact with the brothel going hardcore scum you detest of.

Now for my rant:
The whole training is against the rules is unfortunately a poor deflection from the real issue, because when we train mobs it isn't intended to train a person or guild. If this does happen, when we are caught, (yes I said caught) we concede. It's really that simple. You just don't want to deal. Or perhaps you are a masochist?

Yea I got sucked into competitive games, but found myself missing the more communal atmosphere of old MMOs. I look at p99 as having the potential to be a socially healthy thing like a bowling league or something. Right now, its more of a heroin alley -- where addicts chase dragons all night. I think there has to be some way out of the status quo.

If Breaken and Pint stop responding to these disgusting casual rats, eventually they'll starve themselves out of the food chain. Right now A/A are giving them breadcrumbs and we all know the, "Give a cuck a cookie" saying...
