Without Dark You Cannot Have Light

I am -so- fucking finished. I am -so- fucking over Blizzard and WoW. In One morning I came across three more reasons to hate blizzard and stop fucking playing WoW, a game I used to love. I met my husband on WoW, I met three of my best friends in the world on WoW. Now, I hope WoW dies in a burning pile of garbage. Why? Because this morning I found Dev/Blue posts stating the following: (sic)

1. We're going to continue to nerf Ulduar because we like seeing everyone in purples. We're truly pleased at the amount of people in epics and want to see an even larger amount of the population in epics as well.

2. Fuck you holy paladins we're going to nerf you purely out of spite because we're sick of you

3. We're nerfing Jewel Crafting for NO good reason, simply to fuck up the game YET again.



Re: #1
This is such bullshit. I now have 0 desire to see the rest of any raid content. I've seen enough Ulduar and have enough Ulduar pieces. I have NO desire to step foot in again. Why? Because I like many others play this game for firsts... for bests, to show off. I have no desire to BE LIKE EVERYONE ELSE. Why the hell would I want to run an instance constantly, to look exactly like everyone else? To have nothing. To be mediocre. To be everyone else? What the fuck is the point? There is no more accomplishment. There is nothing to brag about. There is nothing to strive for. There is no point.

I don't even need to play for friends, why? Because the only ones I truly care about are REAL friends, and we don't need WoW to interact. Other than Ryan, Doug, and Eric I could care less if I "lose" the others. The five of us are the only ones that truly matter out of the WoW crew. Since we can hang out in real life, we'll get over it, and we'll find a new game to have a blast in together. Fuck you Blizzard for taking away my ability to stand in Iron Forge and be oggled and oohed over.


Re: #2
You know when a game has been nerfed into oblivion and all you really have left is the relationship between the developers and the community.. hearing a blue use an attitude that truly says "we're doing this to spite you" is bad business. Fuck you Blizzard.

Re: #3
First, Engineering... they get told "too bad you're not getting better benefits because we FREELY ADMIT you are a GIMMICK profession and LIKE it that way." Then they have their stealth bonus taken off all their items.. and get NOTHING in return for it.

THEN they nerf Jewel Crafting by taking away our prismatic slots. Fucking meta gems, losing out on bonus etc.

All of this after they destroyed professions in wotlk to begin with. No -good- BOP recipes? Most professions with nothing after 440? No epic recipes worth using past heroics? WTF?



Here are the actual posts made:

"Nerfed" raid instances
We changed some of the base design of the game to cut down on the idea of content (and the items come with it) being only for a certain group of the playerbase. We have tried to open up content and give more people more things to do.

I don't have any numbers to share, but we are seeing more people in the raid instances than in the past, so people are running things and picking up as many epics as possible. A lot of players are skipping normal dungeons because it's faster to do so, but they have done it on other characters already so they know the fights and just want to get geared up asap. Sure, we could limit the number of epics to certain content and whatnot, but we don't feel that would be a real benefit to the game.

In the next major content patch we will be removing the prismatic quality of the jewelcrafter-only Dragon’s Eye gems. Like other gems, they will have to match the socket color to receive a socket bonus. When this change occurs, players with qualifying jewelcrafting skill will be provided a yet to be determined amount of Dalaran Jewelecrafter Tokens as compensation.

MP5 Gear isn't really useful for Holy paladins
Yes, that is exactly what I said. You are saying you’ll just use the shaman gear. Why? Because you don’t care about the mana regen. Why? Because your mana regen is so good based on things like Illumination that mana regen stats are not attractive. That doesn’t mean we stop putting regen stats on plate. That means we nerf Illumination. An even better solution would be to get rid of MP5 and make Illumination return mana based on your spirit. Now not only do you want a regen stat, but you want the same stat that other healers want.

_______________________________________________

We recently made some changes to items that grant stealth detection. We felt these items provided a necessary advantage in competitive PVP and forced players to use lower level equipment even when more powerful items were available to them.

This item can no longer be used in the Arena:

* Ultra-Spectropic Detection Goggles


We have removed stealth detection from the following items:

* All epic engineering goggles


We have reduced the stealth detection of the following items:

* Catseye Ultra Goggles
* Blood Guard's Dragonhide Gauntlets
* Marshal's Dragonhide Gauntlets
* Knight-Lieutenant's Dragonhide Gloves
* General's Dragonhide Gloves
* Bloodvine Lens
* Knight-Lieutenant's Dragonhide Grips
* Blood Guard's Dragonhide Grips
* The Night Watchman


All of these changes are already active and the tooltips will be updated with the next minor patch.
