Handbags at dawn!

Le facepalm

This man is 100% correct. /thread

Straw man. I wasn't arguing, I was stating an opinion...a review of your textual engagement with the other fellow. My review concludes that you got owned, 10/10. Well, maybe 9/10 because he didn't rub your face in it. Argument concluded.

Who cares? Honestly...lots of chicks play mmo's and many of them are hot. Using a female as bait to hock your guild to kids who think they might be able to hook up with her someday is pretty pathetic...really. Nothing to see here, move along.

^^^ owned.

Also, flamebait post. Like the xbox 360 post. Unless you're serious, in which case: please never write a review again.

That's a review? Looks like an unqualified statement, followed by a half unqualified statement / half statement of features never announced, followed by an unqualified statement and ended with an unqualified supposition. Yikes.

YES! I LOVE JUMBLES! Let me get my pencil and I'll have this one worked out, lickety-split!

There is something to warn you. Not every player has it but every player can get it if they work hard enough to find it...it's been there since pre-alpha but BW hasn't told anyone because it's supposed to be a challenge to find. I will be a nice guy though and tell you what it is... It's called skill. You get to it by playing the game and not relying on programs to tell you when to do things. Once you GET this amazing add-on, it will change your entire experience...it's amazing...and you don't even have to configure or anything. It does have a dependency, though...it relies on another add-on called "perseverance". If you already have that one, you're good to go. If not, you're boned until you find it.

Psst...guys...flamebait thread...nothing to see here.

Oh and here's some more "uphill in the snow, both ways" for ya. We didn't have YouTube videos with hundreds of caption bubbles and tool tips and written strategy guides and 6,000 word forum write ups on how to kill bosses, either. We had to wipe...and wipe...and wipe...and when we were done wiping, we'd wipe some more and then go farm gold to pay for repairs so we could continue to wipe, each time taking another little sliver or two off the boss mob's health before we wiped until, suddenly, we would have a breakthrough and drop the thing with no deaths in the group. The only vids you would see were the "trophy videos" which were clips of the fights with music covering up the tactical communications so other people couldn't figure out how you were winning and cop your strats. The "boss strategy" videos started coming out around the same time as the ez-mode add ons... People think having programs tell you how to play is having their cake and eating it, too. I think that's having poo, disguised as cake, and not knowing it isn't even cake. Doing it the HARD WAY? Yeah, that's cake...and we bit the heck out of it. Mmmmm...cake...

The good old days, indeed.

Yeah, man...old school hardcore>new-fangled ez-mode.

I could have a nav system on my motorcycle. I don't because I prefer to get there without a computer telling me to turn right in 100 yards. This, however, is a bad analogy, bordering on straw-man. We aren't talking about something that makes real life easier, saves gas, saves time and ensures you don't end up 20 miles out of your way on a dirt road with guys with banjos, we are talking about adding systems to a video game which make it easier and take away the nuances and subtleties of combat as well as the need to learn to play your character to its fullest, on your own...in your own style...with your own flair. Without "mandatory rotations" and "mandatory specs". When that stuff starts, you start down the path where every inquisitor you come across is an assassin with a 5/33/3 build who rotates electrocute/recklessness/crushing darkness/shock/force lightning/discharge/shock, ad nauseum because if they don't, people will say l2p n00b just before vote-kicking them. Yes I know, I just slippery-sloped but not without precedent.
