a lot of the gamer-angst about the new WoW expansion is based on this. LadyLorraine Send a noteboard - 29/08/2010 04:44:56 PM
You can tell that Blizzard is trying to make the game easier for casual players. They're removing some of the complexities that required gamers to actually go aside on their own and do formulas just to be able to min/max their character as they felt was needed for the "hardcore end-gaming" (it's not, btw). They're making it easier to get gear and to be able to actually achieve end-game raids and instances.

A lot of wow-players, mostly the hardcore raiders, get positively FURIOUS about this...but the rest of us who can only play for a few hours on the weekend are saying "thank you very much"

The ability to run quickly at any time. - 25/08/2010 03:09:47 AM 948 Views
That can certainly be frustrating, especially in a game with a lot of backtracking. *NM* - 26/08/2010 03:42:30 AM 461 Views
It's my biggest problem with my favorite genre (wRPG). - 26/08/2010 05:04:26 AM 914 Views

I'm actually going to have to disagree with you on the first one. - 26/08/2010 12:11:44 AM 991 Views

The journal for Sword of the Beresaad was the worst. *NM* - 26/08/2010 12:14:24 AM 498 Views
