Of Blues and Men

Hey everybody. If you haven’t seen it yet, you should mosey on over to the mighty Bibi’s and scroll down a bit until you reach the blue post entitled “Firelands Raid Completion.” I think it’s an excellent description of how the developers look at their raiding content and are trying really hard to make a game that everyone can be happy with.

I know I get tired of hearing people complain about how easy the game is compared to how it used to be, and it’s largely because Blizzard is a company and they are supposed to be making a game that as many people as possible can enjoy. That’s their job, that’s their purpose, it is literally why they exist. I know we poke at them a lot here, but that poking is always done with a smile because at the end of the day, we love this game.

I’ve played WoW for… way too long, really. I take breaks now and again, but I always come back because at the core of it WoW is, always has been, and (as long as they don’t buff mages) always will be a great game. We try not to lose perspective on that as we mock them mercilessly for the silly things that they do along the way, and I hope you guys don’t either. Now, if you’ll excuse me, Blizzcon is just a week away and I need to start working on my collection of panda jokes, just in case.

(Please please please.. don’t let it be pandas.)
