Then why was so much emphasis put on "server firsts," practically as so…

There's a lot that annoys me about this post.
The long and the short of it is that you are attempting to sound falsely

As I just said in another thread, the degree to which people are decent to each other in a game, depends on whether or not people are there to actually enjoy themselves, or are there in order to try and find justification for egotism or a sense of e…
The entire premise of your post is that most people play WoW and games like it for reasons of ego instead of playing because they actually enjoy the game. Where do you people come up with this shit?
Close to a decade of observation. Also, not ever…
Actually, in my opinion, this is the worse WoW has done to the genre... make people think only "end game" matters. EQ started it, WoW made it widely popular so that many MMO players think it's the only way to play such a game.
The only real goal t…

Someone still cares about World of Warcraft? That honestly is a surprise. I thought Blizzard had alienated pretty much everyone with WoTLK and Cataclysm.

Is it perhaps because it is drawing attention to an entitlement complex?
Originally posted by ScotSome hybrid MMO's have a better cash shop than others, but they never escape the problems associated with a cash shop. So I don't see much light on the horizon.
The only real reason why the F2P/cash shop model exists tha…
...Those who actually cared about playing the professions the way they were meant to be played had enough respect for the game, and the environment, to put other things ahead of Jedi grinding. While all the powergamers were busy doing the Jedi grin…

But I am not sure how you would achieve the segregation you mention. MMO companies loathe to split the player base for any reason. In fact they are trying via 'looking for groupin…
I agree with both the OP of this thread, and Mark Kern, that MMORPGs have become far too easy. World of Warcraft is still leaking subs like a sieve; I foresaw this in 2010, and wrote this description of what I considered to be the reasons for said …
