Whiny Fun, or "Have I Ever Featured a WoW Insider Comment Before?"

Original post by Scott Andrews starts, in summary, that the hardcores are accusing the new raid lockout feature as Blizzard pandering to casuals while casuals assume it's Blizzard pandering to hardcores.

Commenter Waco:
BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAWWWWW BLIZZARD IS GIVING US TOO MUCH CONTENT AND TOO MANY OPTIONS

I REMEMBER THE GOOD OLD DAYS WHEN I HAD TO FARM A YEAR STRAIGHT FOR A THORIUM BAR UPHILL IN THE SNOW BOTH WAYS WITH NO MOUNT BECAUSE I WAS 50000G SHORT JUST TO MAKE A COUPLE SILVER FOR SOME MOONBERRY JUICE! YOU KIDS THESE DAYS!
Another commenter chastised him for refusing to be serious, but really, how serious do you need to be about a situation that's so ironic? Both sides accusing each other of being Blizzard's favorite? Waco's joke is classic.

  1. But... but... but... hardcore players are ruining the game and Blizzard loves them! It's a know fact that...

    Oh, okay.

    You're right.

    But I'm still gonna whine about it, too. :D

    This is a classic case of "I want what I want and if you get what you want it takes away from what I want." Players are just being people.

    That swimmy turtle mount is SO about hardcore fishing. I can't fish that much and I want... so it's not fair. Change it.

    No seriously. Must have.

  2. The "I'm not special if you have it" is darn tired. To those folks I say: Me having item-x does not in any way make your gameplay less fun, unless your gameplay is about self gratification - in which case you're better of playing with yourself.

    The hardcores, casuals, anyone! can always not use the feature, and therefore never have to deal with it. If your Guild choses to use it, and you don't like that; then change guilds.
