I just quit WoW.

[de-loused]

I thought you would need an intervention...

 

[Laharl]

Actually, if they hire enough and competent GM's there would be no problems.

And yes, I actually help run a game before. So don't say "learn to deal" and yes, I play better games.

Thanks, nubby caek.

Note: $15 per month adds up, and adds up fast. Try paying that when living at home, working, for a game you can't play that much anyways.

 

[Egotistical Asshole]

Actually, most people who would be competent GM's are the kids who understand these games, who cannot be hired. 15$ can be recieeved for almost any mediocre task. Go next door and help the old women with no family feed her cats. Nubby Caek?

[Laharl]

Nubby caek is a deliberate misspelling, and I for one would be a decent GM.

Anyone willing to pay money per month for a BLIZZARD game, let alone any other MMORPG is almost entirely braindead.

 

[Egotistical Asshole]

Your paying for the sheer quality, I never have problems with Blizzard(Discluding them abnning me because my Barb had to much Light Radius).
Sure, they may do alot of work on the game, to make it better, for who? Us. GM's have millions of complaints and need to handle them one by one. It's not as easy as your assuming. And byt the way, deliberate mispellings are so not.

 

[Laharl]

Again, I've helped run a game and making rulings over rule breaking is amazingly easy. Blizzard games are not quality, and nothing you can say or do will prove otherwise.

 

[Egotistical Asshole]

Actually yes, I have raw and cold hard proof Blizzardsz's games are of the utmost top quality. Read this and start weeping.

Hey, you can type /cry now.

[Laharl]

Back on topic. Raven, with all the money you are saving from not playing WoW you can save up and eventually have a lot of money that idiots like Chris wasted on the crappy game.

Just look at his signiture. He blew 56 hours on it this week. That's over a work week worth of time. Or, better yet, it would be over two days straight with eight extra hours.

The joys of living at home.

 

[Egotistical Asshole]

That's because your schedule is packed with

12 am through 12 pm - Be Gay
12:01 pm through 11:59 pm - Be Gay
Repeat accordingly

 

[Arkillo]

What about 1201PM - 1159PM?

 

[Laharl]

Yes, Blizzard does tend to get quite a few awards for marketing to both preteens and the mentally handicapped.

 

[Arkillo]

You're an idiot. It's as simple as that. You're an arrogant douché that disagrees with what everyone says, just for the **** of it. You're also very under educated if you think Blizzard markets towards Preteens and Retards.

 

[Laharl]

How peculiar that preteens and retards are all I seem to see.

 

[Arkillo]

I fail to see how that is our problem. But considering you play Diablo II, wouldn't you be a preteen retard?

 

[Laharl]

I don't play it with the idiots on 1.11. Sorry. And as for Broodwar (the game I'm getting back into, albeit slowly) I only play in games with friends.

 

[Egotistical Asshole]

I think it's save, sufice to say, that Big-Fat-Homo is hated by the entire battleforums and should just leave untill he returns under the following circumstances:

A) He's stops being an arrgoant douche

or

B) He stops being gay

 

[Arkillo]

I don't play it with the idiots on 1.11. Sorry. And as for Broodwar (the game I'm getting back into, albeit slowly) I only play in games with friends.

What's your point? It appeals to you. According to you, they only market to retards and preteens. So which one are you?

 

[lollercoasterzster]

HAY GUYZ IM NOT PRETEEN RETARDZ N I PLA WOW

 

[Laharl]

I was a preteen when I bought the game and I made a few friends on it. All MMORPGs do is get all the rich preppy type gamers that do it just to look like part of the "gamer" group.

Anyone who claims to be a "Gamer" but hasn't a clue what a tanar'ri is should go drink a round galleon of bleach.

 

[Arkillo]

I play pretty much nothing but MMOs, and I'm more of a gamer than you so...there goes your theory.
