>be Blizzard in the early 2000s
>notice that all MMOs charge a monthly fee and in return, provide free content updates
>decide to charge full price for each major content update (expansion pack) in addition to having a monthly fee
Blizzard has ALWAYS been a semitic company. They didn't suddenly become shit. They always have been.
Fuck. Clean this up, janny. I didn't mean to post here.
But atleast they made good games, now we have Garrish 2.0 and no set pieces.
>But atleast they made good games
Hearthstone is unironically good
>Blizzard
Yeah I enjoy being stomped by druids and aggrodecks.
WoW ruined fantasy gaming and PC gaming forever. It might not have evident at first, but making your elves and goblins into blocky purple cartoon characters with fulltime jobs in grinding instances was pure, 100% cancer. I'm so glad that Blizzard is going under.
>It's blizzards fault for Slavs not making good RPGs anymore
Slavs are just about the only ones making any WRPGs today. Though the fault also lies with the chingchongs and their dumb little arcade console games, which heped ruin gaming around the same time as WoW.
I don't see a problem with Elves gridning dungeons, my only problem is the lack of the vast underground Dwarven Empire.
but wow back then was fun, new xpacs added more stuff to the game in general. BFA absolutely sucks balls
>no new talents
>weaker while leveling
>lose artifact traits
>lose the classhall
>get some shitty heart instead
>need to grind more for the heart to wear better gear
fuck this xpac, managed to play 1 month before quitting this shit.

You can find better MMOs now than ever before but no one really cares. It's not hype so their servers get shut down.
>2018
>playing wow
Oh and I forgot, aside from losing traits from your artifact in legion blizzard even decided to remove some more spells that you had in legion (no more healing touch for my druid from legion)
SOON..
we're finally coming home..
Can't wait to spam frostbolt lads! It will be awesome!
lemme fix it for you:

> ruin it
I'm gonna show you guys postcards from my recent raid on Dazar'alor now.
f-fucking retailfag
All the older MMOs required you to pay for expansions and having an active paid subsription, and I'm sure this is the case for most other MMOs to this day though I don't know which are currently being played besides WoW. You are literally inventing a narrative.
t. Everquest, Lineage and WoW player
At this point still gathering/summoning.
cringe, I'm going to spam sinister strike like an intellectual
Can't wait to sit down for 20 seconds after casting a spell. It will be so awesome to ignore alliance players, because I will focus on leveling and people don't care about world pvp
But why didn't you turn on WM?
When we took the group up to the Great Seal.
How come that only people want Classic, who played the OP classes back then? I hope you will roll a human male rogue.
Dumb leaf.
You probably play Horde too.
It must have been hard killing all those afkers, hope they didn't shard out from your ebin raid.
>But why didn't you turn on WM?
We did. All of us have WM on, or else we couldn't do Against Overwhelming Odds.
We wouldn't get 25/25 with just afkers. Hordelets were constantly porting in and out.
This went on for like 15 minutes until they finally started gathering and hitting back in force.
/wowg/ was seething about some alliance pvp buff, but I didn't pay attention, because I was shilling for Blood Elf supramcy and hating on Classic fags.
Also what made you paly alliance? Did they kidnap your ladyboy borther and forced you to roll a blueboy?
One of Blizzard's founders (Michael Morhaime) is a Jew.
Not sure how you guys still play wow, I used to play every xpack and even played to 60 on nost but I can't get into it like I used to.
It's fun at first but after a while it just feels like I'm wasting my time.
Some quiet reflection in front of the Great Seal, after our grand crusade of pacifying the natives.
They were fierce, but only savages in the end.
Ok bros I want to play a wl on a wotlk server, what race should I roll as? (no Undead, I fucking hate undead)
>(no Undead, I fucking hate undead)
based
I might advise you to play the best race world of warcraft has ever seen. They are tall, strong aesthetic, they have super cool mounts. They have +10 encha skill and they can interrupt spellcasting. Yes I am talking about the BLOOD ELF MASTER RACE!!!!!!!
Finally a hard-earned rest.
I started with Horde and got bored (heh rhymes).
Alliance is just the better faction, more organized and cohesive, more righteous. Also you feel like you're treated with the respect of a commander of many years, instead of just some whipping boy like under the Horde where that zombie queen her cuck beta orbiter bark orders at you while clearly not giving a shit about you.
Also Alliance players are just better at the lower and mid range gameplay levels. Horde are too quick to quit parties and raids from my experience.
Good
Sorry about your Master Race.
She didn't fly too good.
>Alliance is just the better faction, more organized and cohesive, more righteous
They elitits cunts, who would betray their mothers for their made up morality.
>Horde where that zombie queen her cuck beta orbiter bark orders at you while clearly not giving a shit about you.
She is the best leader of the Horde since Doomhammer. To bad Blizzard is turning her into Garrosh 2.0. Fuck traitorfang.
I enjoy other games, wow just feels like the same shit.
Bet it was a 10v1.
A FUCKING
MOBILE DIABLO GAME
MOBILE GAMING
LOL !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1111111111111111111111
if you haven't already installed Path of Exile, please do so because blizzard are CLUELESS
they'll probably ruin WC3: reforged too; mark my words and remember my post
>tfw Hots is the only game I still enjoy these days
Well I don't care about esports at all, but I feel like all the retards are going to jump off after those recent news
Cope more. Odds are usually against me.
t. aladin
Kek look, I'm now your queen.
Truly one of the greatest classes ever, even after they nerfed us. As this poor horde dk found out.
What are you playing? I played qm mostly but since the last patch it went off a cliff imo.
Learn to play heals.
I hate qm, because comps are usually a shitfest with no healers.
I usually play unranked draft with friends. I heard people complain about long queue time but we never really experienced it
A friend of mine once got 8 votes with Murky. My personnal best is 7 as Kel'Thuzad
yeah, qm queue time is around 10 mins. I have no friends for ranked / unranked though.
I don't really like auriel. And I love playing as tracer or ana.
*kills the only game you enjoy too*
Nothing personnel, france
blizzard has been dead since they killed blizzard north you ultrafags
I've been very excited for classic until I've heard latest news on hots and overwatch
what are the chances that these retards are not going to shut down servers few months after release and say something like "uhhh sorry it didn't gave us enough money xd"
I think MMO's are a shitty genre and the opposite of what a game should be.
>shilling for Blood Elf supramcy [sic]
I still do that every now and then. Had to dust mine off because I wanted that sweet, /fa/af/ heritage set.
>tfw Hots is the only game I still enjoy these days
Uh oh... don't tell this guy that Blizzard just announced they'll stop giving major updates, ended all HotS events, and will only "maintain" the game from now on with some skins.
>with some skins
I like how you're that optimistic.
They basically admitted they're going on support mode.
Blizzard hasn't made a good game since Warcraft 3
>Some mongol and SEA tranny have been shitting up every single Classic thread that crops up on /v/
>They also post on Jow Forums
This is not great, I wish it were better
Ultima Online was around before any of them and it did the same thing.

It is. Elder Scrolls, The Old Republic, Guild Wars 2, Final Fantasy 14, they all have paid expansions still. Although only FF14 also has a sub, with ESO and TOR you get the expansions included if you pay the optional subscription.
As opposed to the 2 button rotations you have now on retail? Be careful, it'll be nothing but Frostbolt by next expansions pruning.
