Poor Guroth <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/puppyeyes.gif" alt="" /> - so you are suffering as well? I already wrote a complaint to a GM and was told to post my critique in the WoW Forum. I then answered that a lot of German people are complaining but Blizzard so far did not have the courteousy to answer. Well, I'm willing to post my complaint openly - not only because some game styles are killing my game fun but because I believe that the "dishonour system" <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/suspicion.gif" alt="" /> and the raid disease increase unsocial game behaviour.
Yes, I understand you fully about groups - made my partially bad XP as well. And I already made a list for myself to keep clear of some gamers - even if they want me in their group. I DETEST greediness! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/memad.gif" alt="" /> I hate it if people dice for items they only want to sell whereas others in the group really need them. If I'm asked to join a group for an area/quest I normally don't dice at all. I hate it, if I'm asked to join and the leader doesn't give me instructions what he wants me to do. Some leaders don't like trap system - others expect SILENTLY from me to pull - it's frustrating. And about my pet => she does a lot of good work, but some gamers don't even think about protecting her with spells. She's far more powerful than I am.
I agree, communiation is not good - though I met some gamers whose playing style is similar to mine, so we agree to ASK each other first instead of dicing silently. It works - but only with some people.
And the thing I reallyreally hate most => high level chars bashing up low level chars. Horde and alliance make no difference! I had trolls helping me in a dangerous area and I helped as well. Or the dueling system => what's the sense in a 40 lvl human paladin (!) bashing up a 19/20 lvl troll? What's the sense of high-level chars raiding a beginner area? Lvl 20 chars have no chance at all. No, raids only cause stress and frustration - and even if Blizzard introduced this system with murder and sieges => there's NO penalty for butchers and slaughterers! I'm playing on a normal server, not PvP.
These gamers only choose to see the enemy - but they aren't automatically. They are gamers playing a char, I wish the individual would be judged/seen instead of this placative and stereotype enemy thinking. And there are some phrases in the general chat where I really blow my top! Some phrases are fashistic and racistic. Gee, if someone plays a paladin, she/he should have honour in their way of playing otherwise they could as well take the char of a donkey, would make no difference IMO <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/badsmile2.gif" alt="" />
No, this game has a lot of promises, a lot of niches where people can experiment with cooperative game styles - but some are soooooooo primitive! I think, Blizzard should take up their responsibility and help by dividing game styles on seperate servers with banning penalties - so the killers can bash each other up and leave sensible gamers alone. I want them to drown in their created lags <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/badsmile2.gif" alt="" />
