What just happened Method?

[Crookids]

Shame they didn't just quit. The more hardcore guilds leave the less they whine about the game being improved for casuals. The game can get by just fine without any of them.

A post complaining about complainers.

Hmm

"The Fly and the Chariot", by Aesop

There was a chariot racing around the stadium, and on that chariot sat a fly. As a great dust arose, both from the pounding of the horses' hooves, and also from the turning of the wheels, the fly exclaimed, "Oh what a mighty dust I have stirred up!"

And this, ladies and gents, is the single greatest post that has ever graced these forums.

How did this reach 5 pages?

Why do you people care about a guild/people that you will never be involved with?

isnt that like saying " why do people care about celebrities? Or any sports team? etc.etc

I feel bad for those that compare a guild to a sports team.

And I don't even like sports.

The mats + gold in Method's gbank could be worth millions of gold, so even at $0.50 / 1000 gold it's still worth quite a bit of real life money.

Nothing was taken from gbank, the hacker just thought it would be funny to kick the entire guild.

Which worked out great since we got a free casuals/inactives cleanup

Uh, I'm pretty sure that isn't the greatest post ever on the boards.

Except they aren't the ones "whining about the game being improved for casuals". And most hardcore guilds don't. Most of the hate in WoW comes from the "casuals". But you don't want to think that's the case so you can justify your blind hate for guilds that have absolutely nothing to do with you. It's people like you that need to split. Not casuals, but passive/aggressive children that think they're raging against the machine because they're bashing hardcore guilds. Grow up dude. And the game would be fine without people like you in it. Actually much better.

Yeah because let's say football is a game...
Wait, WoW is a game as well Oo Daaaaamn.

What's a game?
Key components of games are goals, rules, challenge, and interaction. Games generally involve mental or physical stimulation, and often both. Many games help develop practical skills, serve as a form of exercise, or otherwise perform an educational, simulational, or psychological role.

And then there's that definition of sport, what was it?
"Sport" comes from the Old French desport meaning "leisure", with the oldest definition in English from around 1300 being "anything humans find amusing or entertaining".

Pray tell me what are the chances of that happening.

A lot higher when you have such a high value target.

Maybe not, but it's something a LOT of people who post here should take a lesson from.

[skrump]

Actually getting hacked while using an Authenticator has become much more likely, furthermore Authenticators never made it much more difficult to hack wow players anyway especially if the hacked was individually targeted which is very likely with a guild like method..

Hahahahahahahahahahahaha.
Oh, wait, you're serious.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

[predzod]

So they got hacked with an authenticator ?

Agreed. It's because of progression guilds and whatnot that raids suddenly got stupid-hard from BC's/Wrath's easy-going-epic-battles raids. =/

OT: I could care less what happens to ANY "progression guild".

Because sports teams, even Z-list celebrities, have more to offer society than some guy in his basement getting a world first the world doesn't care about.

Entertainment celebrities and sports teams are generally organized around business models where people pay to watch them.

I say "generally" because there are exceptions (for example, Albert Einstein).

Pray tell me what are the chances of that happening.

If you're an officer in Method, those chances are at 100% that someone's actively e-hunting you.

Britney Spears and Ke$ha offer society a lot do they? As much as their auto-tuned voice is entertaining, I prefer listening to British (Sco) guys rage: far more entertaining.

[rasako]

you can get hacked with auth though, a friend of mine got hacked 3 times in one day using an authenticator :/

tell them to stop watching pr0nz then
