WoW Ruining The Gaming Industry?

    I've deployed countless desktops and servers - when you bring something on to such a large scale there will always be bugs but gamers seem to bitch about it much more than end users :lol:
     
  2. Jouster...it's actually $78million/month.

    But anyway, if things are as bad as you say, and you're on one of those server, and you keep giving them your money, month after month...you're the idiot not them.

    Any sane developer knows that when you deploy code into production, users will find bugs that you didn't catch.

    When you go from a test environment, to 5 million plus users, holy shit, of course you are going to find more problems. It's amazing that it usually only takes them a day or two to stabalize a patch.

    MMO players are like tribes players, a whiny bunch of bitches. They bitch cause the patches don't come out fast enough, then they bitch when the patches come out with a couple bugs.

    In the end, you are paying every month for a service, if that service does not live up to to what you are expecting for your investment, stop paying. It is beautifully simple.

    Like I said, there's more problems then just their patching. There is no reason why these problems going on for months at a time, which are not related to any patching, should be allowed to go un-remedied for as long as they have.

  4. I think its funny the way WoW end game is now, Its just about right where it takes about a week to schedule everything for a big raiding guild.

    1 nite = MC
    2-3 nite=BWL
    1 Nite ZG
    1 Nite Onyxia and world mobs
    2 nites of free time or misc mobs.

    This is funny, because for Everquest you would never have such a rotation, theres simply just way too much end game content. There will come a day with WoW that it wont all fit into a week schedule.

    Anyway, I enjoyed the read, good points.

    THERE ARE OTHER GAMES OUT THERE BESIDES WOW.

    I just played a nite of Empire Earth, its still fun, crashes and all :)
     
  5. I am happy they messed up whatever it is they messed up. Because after they fixed it, the raid reset timers were broken, and we were able to clear 3 BWLs in a single week.

    And my boots didn't drop any of those 3 :(
