so much ranting i had to stop reading, emphasize the *had*. although the game, like all others, has its ups and downs its the best mmo for everyone in terms of approachability

You can also tell he has no perspective from a Developer’s Point of View.

Remodeling the original map for flying mounts would have been a massive job, wouldn’t have added anything as there is no level 68+ content in the old world bar the CoT instances.

Reputation grinds work because people like the feeling that they’ve “earned” something. If you could finish them in one play session there’d be very little satisfaction to completing them. Blizzard know the whole MMO genre works because of clearly defined goals which are achievable or where you can watch a little bar move across the screen.

Raiding has gone casual which is a change I appreciate. I don’t have time to play 4 or 5 days a week. Currently I can see end game content raiding once a week with my guild and logging in once or twice a week to PUG other raids and make some cash.

The real beauty of your argument is that it was written 2 days after patch 3.3 launched which has done more to get rid of unneccessary downtime than anything else in the history of the game. I’ve been waiting an average of 2 minutes to get a full group, they’ve launched new content and made high end rewards more attainable. What else do you want?

WoW probably isn’t the right game for you and thats fine, but don’t write a rant that makes you look like an idiot trashing i because of that. Play something else. Impressively you’ve managed to troll a website you’re writing for.
