The problem, here, with this debate, is neither side has defined "better," which is subjective. If "better" is vanilla, then the current direction the game is taking is "bad." It has scrapped...
Spiritus for Archbishop of Stormwind. Pass it on. Spiritus is a name you can trust, having resisted the call of countless old gods and successfully putting them back in their place. Now is the...
Yeah! Great point! Reforging is fantastic. It's one of the very few features released during Cataclysm that I think would have been awesome to include from vanilla launch.
Except that, in my opinion, from how I've seen the game flow over the years, those who are going to use LFR as their "highest level" aren't going to be happy with being the "lowest raider." As I...
Yeah, like I said, the "LF" system solves problems and creates new ones. I guess, for my enjoyment, I prefer the faults/benefits of the old system coupled with a more human experience, than the...
Oh I agree. I should have been more clear. When I said "quite some time" I meant "before LFD." I also group in "LFD" & "LFR" in with "features" that create their own new set of problems with a...
I hate to be the old man yelling "get off my lawn!," but does anyone else think that the system of [and roles are just placeholders for any combo]:
(1) Tank item drops
(2a) DPS asks if it's ok to...
I was, and then I ran into a time crunch. If I'm gonna shop someone's head onto a kitten, I want it to be epic.
Yup. This is the word on the screets I've heard as well. Most 4pcs are showing to be more beneficial than the statistical iLvL drop from HT12. We mentioned this on FJ last week.
To be fair,...
Primary reason for Hpriest under-representation, especially in 10player, is the lack of a raid survival CD they control. For the vast majority of guilds, not having that raid CD is a big thing. LW...

On this week's episode, the Junkies discuss topics including: When does casual become serious? [Anatorenator|MMO-C], Is launching 4.3 around SWTOR a bad thing? [Thelms|MMO-C], the...
With zero bullshit, I can, with the body of my experience, say that there are pulls where I have given 100% the absolute best I could possibly give. I can't do it every pull, but I know I have.

I haven't yet expressed this opinion fully anywhere, but I liken "difficulty" levels to rearranged music. For those of you who have at least semi-seriously played music, you know that there is the...
As I said in the episode [and as Kaz said above], there was only one primary reason Blizzard gave for the lockout, and that was shared iLvL. The so-called "requirement" was much more forum frenzy...
If having the best possible gear set is important, then LFR will be important until every slot is better than or equal to what LFR can offer. It isn't exactly the same as ICC, but it is analogous. ...
The idea that LFR will "replace" a night for normal guilds is, IMO, not the way things will play out. Guilds will run their normal schedule, and then they'll have "obligation" to run LFR on their...
I think you have to have the loot lockout from a dev angle. If you make it so that you can run it over and over the same week for loot, it greatly diminishes the longevity of re-playability.
You...
From strictly what I'm reading, yes. But I think it was worded all wrong. I highly doubt they'll share "loot lockouts" w/ normal/heroic. I believe he was speaking only in context of LFR. But then...
We recorded before Daxxarri posted the Q&A on LFR. When I get a hold of Blizzard's internal document release schedule, I'll let you guys know. =P
While this information obviously changes the...

On this week's episode, Darksend and Spiritus are again joined by FJ Nation member & podcasting veteran, Huck. Topics include: Should WoW have alternative guild political systems?...
Honestly, I think for a pretty darn big chuck of the player base it is. And therefore, the concern is on Blizzard's plate.

I'm in the camp that a huge number of people who play wow [currently] aren't really interested in raid content. Blizzard must keep developing raid content because it's core to the game, but less...
It isn't about age groups. It's about playstyles. "New Age" gamers aren't necessarily "young" gamers but "new" gamers. They could be 12yrsld or they could be 40yrsld. At any event, they share a...
