Have you actually played WoW since dailies were added?

I swear I'm the only person who absolutey despises daily quests.

That said, there will always be a market for gold for people whose time is more valuable to them than the gold they are buying.

Thats utter bullshit, and its about time those dicks stop using it as a fucking excuse. If someone thinks thier time is so valuable that they need to cheat in a fuckin' video game of all things, they seriously need to reassess thier priorities in life.

Or simply:

Don't waste thier "oh so valuable" time playing a damn video game.

So, spending real life cash to save time so you can buy a means of transportation to get places faster and.... save time.... is cheating?

No, I hate dailies and I refuse to do them more than the first time. I'm not paying to do chores.

Blizzard really has decided we're all a bunch of lemmings that will take "daily" quests as a replacement for actual gameplay and content.

Or maybe, just maybe, they dont want to spend the time they get to play with pointless fucking dailys that the zombie players out there do over and over and over and over just to get a mount? Maybe they actually want to play a game more exciting then "bomb the eggs" for a month to get that mount? If you have limited time to play, those retard quests dont look too attractive.

As long as there are things that help your game enjoyment, but requires massive amounts of boring shit to do... people will weight their options and look over the alternatives. Some will jump through the hoops, some will try to cheat the system and check for alternate ways to deal with it.

Which I expect to be any moment, because the point you missed would completely scramble any semblance of a brain you might have.... LOL

If you don't like the options they provided as an alternative to what was previously available, your alternative option is simple. Quit the fuckin' game. Its obviously not worth your precious time to perform the menial tasks required by EVERYONE ELSE. You're not special. Everyone around you plays by the same set of rules. And thats the problem. Cheating douchebags think thier time is worth more than everyone elses. Its a damn game! You check your "time value" at the log-in screen.

Heres a noble idea.. How about if you don't like the options given by the game to aquire said gold, get the fuck out?

Its a god damn game ffs. I am fucking tired of ppl trying to defend this crap. I am tired of the fucking spammers every 5min showing up on different MMOs I play with links to websites and such. Its fucking pathetic. Play the game for what it is, a fucking game.

So its boring to do Dailies and such eh? Well I personally haven't tried them since I haven't played WoW in ages, but let me ask you this. What other way should blizzard do this? Just give players gold every day without doing a thing? Shit WoW is casual MMO to the max and ppl are still bitching that its time sink this, boring dailies that? QUIT the fucking game then.

I for one hope that WoW Glider rots in fucking hell. If one day this shit is allowed then it is only a matter of time till the very shaky foundation that MMOs are standing on right now crumbles to the fucking ground. Imagine Bot programs running on every players computer, game economies going down the drain.

People need to stop being so dense, and should see that the day that a court legitimizes Bot programs, is the day MMOs in the form most of us love to play will cease to exist. Companies will be crippled in fighting Bots, basically destroying game economy, and further destroying any community aspects left in MMOs.

Agree agree agree.
As far daillies and grinding goes, I think the problem is people want to be able to play an mmo 20 hours a week, 50 weeks a year for 3 years plus and still expect to have fresh new content every week. Personally I hope one day we reach the point where we will see a 4 to 5 good mmos a year designed with an expected playtime of 6 months or so. This will be the only way to get rid of the repetitiveness and grind that plague EVERY mmo. This will also in my opinion open mmos to the real mass market that WoW is only tasting from right now. But this can be a whole other thread alltogether.

What really baffles is me, is people to join BGs, just to sit there AFK leeching honor. I mean, why join the game if you don't want to play it? To get phat epic PVP gear? Okay, what the fuck are you going to do once you AFK your way to FULL EPIX? AFK more.. in your.. epic gear?

Also.

Blizzard didn't put dailies there in place of, or under the flag of content and actual gameplay, they put it there so fucks like you don't have to do your money-making the old fashioned way. Fucking WoW breeds lazy goddamn complainers. If you feel something in the game is a chore, don't fucking do it.

.

So what exactly are you going to do once you buy your epic mount? Fly around and do "exciting" things like farming ores and herbs? Fly 2 feet up in the air in Shatt so you can stroke off to your e-peen, only you're about a year too late to the party?

It's not like you are actually using your epic mount to fly to anywhere "exciting". What with summoning stones and now warlock summons and all.

So in other words.....what a shitty and stupid reasoning to buy an epic mount with real money.

The bots in any MMO game serve to show the design flaws of the game. The gold sinks that WoW requires are what make buying gold for mounts/repairs an option for so many players. If you remove the use of gold in repairs and mounts, it will help a lot in the fight against gold farmers.

And it would utterly wreck the economy...
