Not at all. Basically, D&D is turn-based, WoW is not. WoW won't stop and wait your next action, like Heroes of Might and Magic does; it demands fast reactions and decisions. If you limit a big set of things to a button press or automatic actions, you'll kill the gameplay.
One option is to assemble one specific server with some automated features, but Bliz will not do anything like this if they dont have numbers (how many players would play on it, what features are needed, how much it will affect the gameplay, etc). If you really want it, show them solid arguments.
I agree with your point of view, Brazil is one of the leaders of the emergents countries, with a stable economy and growing in many aspects (industrial production, exportation, technological researches, etc). On the other hand, the money and culture is concentrated within a few people.
And since there is no thing such as '2nd world' and we're definitely not 1st world, yes, we are a 3rd world country.:)
Here in Brazil we use voting machines for more than 10 years and it works pretty good. Also, the new version we're using this year is running over linux.
Believe or not, it works without frauds in the 3rd world.
Re:Are Quests in MMOGs doable?
on
Quests
·
· Score: 1
It's not only the quests that are getting dumber, but the players too. 99% of the players don't read quests history, all they want is to make levels as fast as they can. MMOs are full with the old "master, may I roll to try to find a +1 sword at the floor?" players.
So, if you are tired of how your house looks like or need to fix a broken pipe at your eco-bathroom, will you wait for 10 years to accomplish this structure change?
Using pieces of (dead) wood to build something it's ok, but using the entire (living) tree is just insane.
I can imagine the news: Skyscraper made of Sequoia falls and kills hundreds due termite colony.
Agreed, the last thing we want is for the cesspool of Digg-reading, MySpace dwelling, Pokemon-playing LuSerS!!!!!1 to spill over into where the grownups are trying to have intelligent discussions.
But this is already happening, people mess with every post theses days.
I hope Idle somehow 'cure' the offtopic/meme/first post/* attitudes that we constantly see here, by moving the Trolls away to a place that fits them best.
It's sad, but in the last couple of months a lot of trolls and flamers are screwing with/. topics. If you don't have nothing good to say or want to be the first to post, please keep it for yourself and don't mess with the thing.

I said "D&D" or "D&D Online"?

We will never agree with each other... I'll go back to work, later.

Sorry, but you want to transform WoW in D&D with graphics.
Also, how can they be sure that someone really need some automated actions? I bet if it were easy, they would do.
You say:
A lot of potential WoW players (potential gamers in general, actually) have problems.
but you don't have real data about it.
My point is: Blizzard can't mold it's software for an small piece of market with the risk of make it worse in a general view.
Google's Night Club plus Google Booze would be good enough.
69 FTW!
It only proves that rock is not dead!

Use Perl!

No. At slashdot they should say, anonymously, first-speed!
You forgot the 'I hope' on my phrase. The Idle is alive, all we can do is hope for the best and complain loudly if it fails.
