They're Chinese. If they need to patch their client every 12 seconds, they'll just do that.

Curse3.0 is good enough that you don't need WoWMatrix anymore though. It was a clunky, slow hunk of junk before, but now the only problem is the authors that won't upload to Curse for whatever reason.

Oh, excellent. Something about little dots makes me really horny. Let's make out.

And hey, I even agree with most of those little points. In fact, I download all of my addons exclusively from Curse, though I've been using less and less since you guys have made it a giant pain in the ass to do that with any sort of regularity attached to it. Curse used to be great, and big, and huge, and somewhere along the way some dude near the top got fucked in the ass by a stack of $100 bills and ruined it for the rest of us. Send him my love when you get a chance.

Let's not forget what you did to WoWAce in your little list of how awesome you are, either, and then on top of it left us with a bloated, virus ridden piece of shit that you had to have some kind of extensive foreplay with to even manage to get working for the few, Curse-only addons that you had. Seriously, fuck you.

But nooo, continue placing the blame for the reasons your userbase hates you on everyone but yourself. WoWMatrix is stealing from us! WoWAce is too competitive! Maybe people wouldn't go elsewhere if it wasn't a) easier, b) nicer, c) faster, and d) filled with a lot less buck grabbing corporate bullshit. You guys have consistantly failed to hit the mark on what makes the foundation of a good community-driven website, and it shouldn't be any surprise when programs like WoWMatrix pop up that simply do not give a flying shit about you or your money because they just want things to be simple again.



Anyway. Ulduar rulz, Naxx droolz.

So much hostility over what takes a few minutes to do manually, personally i hate curse and avoid the site like the plague. I also hate any program that manually updates my addons, wowinterface is my preference.

I have never fully understood the point of adds on sites, who actually clicks those things, and i know very few people who dont have a add blocker so they dont even have to see the things.

Just wait, i know a lot of people are calling bullshit but i have seen a guy who works for blizzard get all pissed off and stopped informing my guild about wow related info when we talked about addons and blizzard maybe monetizing them. He got extremely butt hurt about the topic, which was out of character for him and i know you think its he said she said 2nd hand info but time will tell.

Soon the guys that are bickering over this will be bickering over the fact that blizzard bent them over without the use of lube.

No major content other than the Raid. Unless you call that Argent thing being put in.

The Argent Tournament, pretty much a lvl 80 quest hub full of tons and heaping tons of gimmick items you can work towards.

Looks like the servers being up is being delayed by at least an hour.

Do we have any hints if we will ever have cool tradeskilled items like the old shadoweave set or the lionheart blades from BC?



For smithing theres like one epic 2H and that's it, was hoping this patch would get the tradeskill specializations back! Will it ever happen again?

Because it is WoW Interface. I'm getting sick of websites that start out as all about one topic, but then branch off to cover ALL MMO's OUT THERE OMFG. That Allakhazam-type approach was fag back in EQ, and it's just as fag now. Stop trying to appeal to THE ENTIRE MMO COMMUNITY.

People want simple shit focused on their game of preference. Trying to appease the masses for every fucking MMO you think is the current hotness always leaves something to be desired.

WoW Mods, WAR Mods, Runes of Magic (ffs) Mods, Conan Mods, Item Databases for all the aforementioned games, Gamer News, Blogs, Contests, Forums for discussion. God damn, I appreciate what you are trying to do, but stop trying to be the fucking MMO Wal-Mart of the Internet.

Thanks,
