im not sure how one can criticize a game they do not play in any form....I have to agree with deadman on this one

You're a fair bit of a loud mouth yourself, just so you know :x Look at your use of the term "bads" earlier. Look at your icon. Look at just how... negative you act toward lots of people who mostly aren't even acting negatively toward you. This is generally why people get the sort of attitudes that they do about certain players. You're apprehensive, insulting, and think what's good for you is good for everyone, and you don't even REALLY think that, you just flat out don't care about other people.
Yeah, seriously. If people pick something else, something "bad" instead of something you think is "good", for various reasons, then something is seriously wrong with what's going on in that sort of mode that is turning people off from it, and it's most definitely something to consider. (and it does seem that if Flex isn't a sham, it'll be a big shift in the right direction)
As far as gear progression is concerned there is nothing of difficulty given as an option that doesnt require preformed groups. We used to have heroics that offered that but no longer due to Blizzards horrid idea that all players should be shoved into challenging content. The casuals who are leaving now due to lack of engaging content didnt leave in Cata when there was challenging content at a casual level and we are seeing Flex mode being introduced for casuals who want a PuG friendly while challenging option. Sadly we still are not getting one that doesnt revolve around raiding.
I dont mind a bit of socialization personally and enjoy PuGing in general as it keeps things mixed up and increases the available pool of players one can engage with while still not being bound by a schedule.

LOL not mad at all, I enjoy watching someone make a complete fool out of themselves and then contradicting their very argument. It's entertainment in its finest! I've been smiling this whole time imagining that you are throwing your toys against the wall getting yelled at by your mother lol.
Pretty sure I have seen a video of it on youtube somewhere.
and the thing to remember is that, now, in the past, and in WoW's entire history, most people didn't want to be or weren't in raiding guilds. Only a small minority of people were. Even at raiding's peak :x
I'm pretty much with you right there, 100% same ideals, dryankem.
I just want to play the damned game :x
And this is exactly why u fail miserably to understand the point of forums... i guess that also explains your venomous toxicity towards other forum users.
Your blinkered view that 'only opinions from existing subscribers has value' shows just how anal u truly are.
Us ex-wow players who hold value in Wow have very real and very valuable opinions which im sure Blizzard takes into account. We hold the key in getting the sub numbers back up, something u ignore at your peril.
The mroe u write the more butthurt u come across u got owned cos u obviously never read or followed your own thread of posts.
and it's not just WoW, it's MMORPGs in general that are suffering from this. It's a genre with a lot of outdated baggage, in a realm where people play lobby games with matchmaking on their playstations, Nintendos, PC's, and XBOX's, and this isn't even anything really new. Gaming began to head here around 2005, and has firmly been in this territory around 2007. It's why the genre has had so many landmark failures lately, I'd like to think. It's not adapting to what players in general want, and many other genres are providing MMORPG staples without all the baggage.

I'm a fairly good player, I personally would like to believe.
I have the time. I have more than enough time, really.
and I don't play with a single friend :x (Well, I have one who plays, but all she does is play the AH, she never actually plays.)
I don't do normal modes, and have next to no desire to ever touch them or anything above. Where do I fit in :x
So ur telling me that a discussion which involves unsubbed players is closed for all unsubbed players to contribute?
Ok dude... thats best joke all day right there
Ur welcome to discuss your weak opinions on why u think players unsubbed... but ur fools to ignore unsubbed players telling u exactly why we unsubbed.

With all do respect....how do you do a matchmaker system work in a raid format...you cannot group by ilvls as people with very high ilvls don't do the same dps...
Also, if guilds desire to raid how do you accomplish this without schedules of sorts? It is absolutely impossible. I don't see how schedules are bad, maybe schedules dont work for some, but doesnt make it bad.
Money is bad too because unless you are rich you are looked at as poverty stricken. But if you are rich you get all the nicest things. That's not fair but I don't want to be a communist state as it would lead to utter disaster...

My question to you is this Otis, do you desire to raid normal modes? Why do you feel LFR is only for you?
If you are good and have the time, how do you fit the LFR mold? Why would you see that as your best solution?
The last few pages are just a pissing contest to see who's got the biggest virtual dick. When a thread gets that derailed there isn't any reason to keep it open any longer.
Closing.
