If they did they wouldn't be fucking bored because the list of daily content in cataclysm is a mile fucking long. How do you not get this.

    I don't need to do these dailies because the rewards behind them are shit. Subsequently they aren't forced or "compelling" in BLizzard parlance. However as you say I can jsut do LFR and then run out of things to do in the game. IN fact LFR isn't even worth doing and that's the fucking point. Dungeons in cata WERE WORTH DOING. they were worth doing because they gave you gear and rep with the tabards. Without dungeons their isn't fucking content I can farm to my hearts content on the days I can farm it. Since their not likely to remove the lockout from LFR I would basically just do LFR and then that's it for the week because I refuse to partake in their daily quest bullshit game which isn't even rewarding now.

    I frankly don't care how they do it. My desire is for them to make more content of the content that I like. Not fuckign daily quests. If they have to hire an army of mountain shirpas to do it I could care less. What they've said to me in mists is we need you to do more with less. I don't accept that.

    They haven't been hiring fucking shit. That's a load of horse crap. If they did we'd have the content they want. They've probably just been keeping at turn over if that. The game hasn't been steadily growing for years, it's been on the decline since the end of wrath.

    I don't really care what excuses you make for them because at the end of the day they're just excuses and your just being an apolgist. I don't think the developers accept that, I don't think they need excuses to be made for them or need you to apologize for them. At the end of the day it's their asses on the line and I can unsub and tell them what I think. Which I will be doing rest assured. It's extremely fucking simple.
    You claim nobody asked for dailies, yet here they are, appreciated by a lot of people who enjoy doing them. You don't like them, so what? Others do so your point is moot. There are those who don't like dungeons, according to you Blizzard should only make dungeons because that's the only content you seem to like, couldn't others claim this though? That all dungeons are a waste of time and resources because they aren't fun, and Blizzard should make other content instead?

    If dungeons, dailies and LFR doesn't feel worth doing because it's not rewarding enough (which I really don't understand considering it equips you in a full set of armor, which is its entire point), then I really don't understand why you even still play the game. It sounds to me like you have simply outgrown the game, and not yet realized it. I say, move on, there are other games out there that I'm sure you would enjoy.

    I highly doubt you know anything about whether or not they have actually hired people. Yes, the game has been declining in subs since Wrath, which is exactly what I said. But the game as a whole is still standing strong as the biggest MMO out there, which is pretty damn impressive considering how old it is.

    I'm not defending them for their sakes, there is a lot Blizzard does that I do not agree with, in this case however, I happen to disagree with you.

    Go ahead and unsubscribe, can't say I'm going to miss you in the game.

    Because, when Blizzard pushes out a patch with five-mans but no new raiding content, people will get to complain about that.

    They always did have one of their teams working on the next expansion during the current one and it hasn't stopped the end tiers of the previous expansions lasting longer than they should have. If Cataclysm was the exception people would be less jaded, but it was just the final straw for a lot of people. Me, personally, I don't hang about a patch a day longer than I have too because Blizzard's assurances of "soon" do nothing any more for me .

    Chaozu the question is do you think the model of lfr, dailies and scenarios will last even a year.

    Dumbest thing I have read in a while, LFR is ONCE A WEEK, dungeons are not.

It's nice that you are so confident that 5.4 will bring enough content to sustain us till th next expansion, but I think most of us will believe it when we see it.
    History would show that patches are usually much farther apart than they have been in this expansion. I'll give Blizzard credit for switching that up and we'll see exactly what happens at the end.

    I do know this: If they wind this expansion up in relatively quick fashion and there's nothing like six-to-twelve months at the end of it a certain percentage of people will use that as a premise to bring out the standard complaint that Blizzard is only delivering expansions faster (after saying for years that this is something they want to do) because they're greedy.

    It's possible that Blizzard learned some business lessons from Cataclysm and has planned this expansion quite differently from 'history'. People should keep that in mind.

    On-topic: I don't have any problems with no new dungeons. Like raids, there's several dozen of them in the game and if giving them a little vacation refreshes the creative juices a bit for them that fine. I think dungeons are a little tired myself.

    This. What are people supposed to do daily? There must be something specific that replaces it. Otherwise it's a loss of quality.

    And that's because the first patch had no raids or dungeons in it, it was just dallies, a few small area changes and scenarios, that's something I would expect WITH raids and dungeons.

    Without new dungeons to use as a gear stepping stone, does anyone else think we'll see the return of feeder guilds? Valor points are slow to grind, and the gear is still locked behind a required reputation. Even with this increased drop rate in LFR, I haven't been feeling the difference. Going in to 5.2, ToT groups will likely require a minimum of a 500+ ilvl, which is incredibly difficult(impossible?) to obtain without having raided the previous tiers.

    Yes I claim nobody asked for them because it's elementary logic. If NOBODY or next to nobody was doing the dailies before why in gods name does BLizzard think it was the more content people were asking for? That's just fucking stupid. Appreciated and enjoy are funny terms, I would say alot of people are forced to do them who would otherwise never do them. That doesn't make my point moot, it just makes it beyond your comprehension that people don't lke the same thing you do. I never recall hearing anybody ever bitch about dungeons until they got to hard. I agree Blizzard should only make dungeons, daily quests are a side thing they can do whenever they have time. THey should be a low priority, not the main focus of this expansion.

    Yes you don't understand because no matter how I explain it to you you don't get it. Your stuck wallowing in daily content and can't understand how anybody wouldn't be happy with the shit being shovelled our way. Dungeons equip with you a full set of sub par armor. Lot's of things equip you would sub par armor. I could go to a vendor and buy the armor, in fact they may as well just do that. Get rid of the dungeons entirely because under this reward structure they don't fit at all. I understand why thy wont release more dungeons but it's bullshit because well this reward paradigm is bullshit.

    I havn't outgrown the fucking game, the game just jumped the shark and did shit I don't agree with. I say bring back dungeons and the full reward and then you can move on.

    I don't fucking care how many people they hire, that's not my concern. My concern is that content that I liked doing in the game play style that I liked doing it in is no longer being supported by the developers but you daily people get it out the ass and in spades. Can you imagine if they said tmmrw hey guys were not supporting dialy content with more dailies? You people would be fucking livid. Of course I get told to move onto other games because you can't get it how people don't like your precious fucking dailies or this whole fucking matra of "go slow" but their it is. The game will bleed subs and it has NOTHING to do with how old the game is. That's just horse shit people on forums have come up with because they know decline is inevitable with this group of developers. The game is old yea the game also gets updated with patches every month. So changes happen all the fucking time. Just the wrong ones have been happening in mists.

    You won't miss me now but when Blizzard abandons your fucking dialy questing bullshit in the next expansion you needn't ask why it happened.

    MOST OF US ENJOYED DUNGEONS. MORE OF US ENJOYED DUNGEONS THAN ARENAS AND RAIDING COMBINED. WHY THE HELL WOULD YOU DO THIS?!
    Accept it. They aren't supporting the play style you enjoyed for years anymore. Their shoving you to either do fucking dialy grinding bullshit or your weekly lfr que or normal raid. It's horse shit. I hope they lose millions of fucking subs. I want wow to succeed I honestly do. I do not want this iteration of the game to succeed though. I want it to fail miserably. I want them to lose so many subs the developers have to take a hard look at the game and reassess their direction. I want this iteration of the game to go down in history as the worst fucking piece of software ever developed. I want it to share a spot in software history with windows vista.

    Why not add new 5 mans that drop the same ilvl gear as the current ones? The whole point is that we are bored of the ones weve been running for 6 months+. It would be even more awesome if they made lvl 86-89 versions of new instances since there just arent enough while leveling.

    Blizzard would rather make more garbage scenarios, since those are so popular... oh wait no one freakin' likes them.

    If you are particularly bold, you could use a Shiny Ditto. Do keep in mind though, this will infuriate your opponents due to Ditto's beauty. Please do not use Shiny Ditto. You have been warned.

    My first thought is that it probably wont be necessary to steal people from other guilds. Bosses drop a lot more gear now so al a 25man guild really has to do to get a new player geared is run the last tiers raids 1 week, give him all the gear and have the guy hit lfr to fill up slots. 10man guilds shouldnt have as much turnover so it probably wont be necessary to take players from other guilds very often if at all.

    The poaching in TBC was mostly because of attunements that would require the guild to carry the new player through several dungeons and raids. It was easier to grab someone already attuned in his old guild.

    I think this is fine. It still seems to make a slight issue that I'm worried about. What will people who want to raid the last raid do? Will they have to do the previous two tiers endlessly? We'll see what happens. A few more dungeons would be nice, if only to please the people who want them.

    Btw I think the people who work on the scenarios are part of the quest team, not the dungeon and raid team.

    Theyll probably have to get carried for gear and buy the last tiers discounted valor items. It would take a few weeks to get reasonable gear but not very long.
