  1. I agree with Xar on the Difficulty thing.
    Make raids difficult, it's more fun. Preferably 40 man, so 1 person's gear doesn't matter as much as teamwork matters.
    It makes guild more necessary, which is good.

  2. Just gotta throw it out there your idea of how correlation works seems a bit off. We know for a fact that giving people the carrot kills the chase this has been proven in countless psychological studies. Sub numbers dropped almost out of the gate for cata in 2010, look at the graph its almost instant a few weeks or a month in(why this most likely happened is in the preach video you watched). LFR isint introduced until last raid of cata which is way before sub drop and level boost is pandaria pre patch so even after that. So its not correlation if it happens before the thing you want to correlate it to.
    TLDR is your conclusion is most likely correct but how you got there very incorrect XD which is funny but doesn't make you wrong and yeah they should stop throwing the carrot in out face hoping we will chase like good ol times.

  3. @42:00 what you're talking about here…
    This is one of the reasons I feel ALL content shouldn't be available through LFR. I am one of those people who stopped raiding after wrath, but continued through LFR on later expansions, so I would be affected by this. But I think it's a good thing. I feel LFR should only be available for the first raid tier, or maybe even the second if there are 3. You never give the player everything. If you want to see endgame, you need to progress.

  4. I have a hdd that has a BWL era version of wow and private server files (2005 era). I use to take it to internet cafes and host raids and custom stuff.

    Problem with private servers is tge people running its get greedy and power and corruption.

  5. What happened between Wrath and Cata, was the opposite to what Xar is saying. Cata was too difficult for players while Wrath was too easy. Players got their carrot in Wrath and then in Cata players couldn't even see the carrot.

    I remember specifically that the difficulty was a very popular complaint about Cata.

  6. I am not a fan of a long leveling experience after doing it so many times. I don't quit the game, but I get what you're saying. I would pay money to not level at this point, I am SO done leveling in WoW through stuff i've done time and time and time and time again. I've leveled alts through every xpac multiple times

  7. 5:38 i haven't played wow much since MoP, but in counterstrike i go to thirdperson cam to see what something might look like to abother pkayer, and i INSTANTLY fall back to my wow movement keys to strafe
    Im sure thay speaks to the immersion of a mor direct control vs click2move

  8. What you were "Cooking" is 100 percent right and what Boomers like me complained about during Cata. I started playing in the second half of Vanilla and didn't clear all current content until Wrath. Because of that my 25 man LK kill is STILL my top memory. I quit during Cata. Bot because I thought the game itself was complete trash but because LFG and LFR had destroyed the community and RMT and Boosting took over. Nothing felt special anymore.

  9. Cata subscriber numbers started to drop off before LFR was even released. The xpac was too hard for people, not that they got the carrot and got bored. LFR was only released on the last patch when dragon soul dropped, before that people would complain that 5man heroics/raids were too hard.

    People said Wrath was too easy so they made it harder in Cata. They pulled you far away from the carrot instead of giving it to you, opposite of what Xar is suggesting.

  10. And then this dude with his life content clearing point but talking about how for wrath it was clearing heroic ICC and heroic uld into lfr and making this like some original thought when it's been regurgitated a million times like bro i usually pove his videos but god hes dense

  11. you could do the game with just 4 classes: warrior, cleric, mage, and thief. that's all you need. back in the 90's, before any mmorpgs I played a MUD and it had 4 four classes I just mentioned and that was all it had. MEDIEVIA. It was a great game but then they added a bunch of fae crap in it and it was ruined.
