Reality is, when you see "Staroffice, PDFCreator" on your resume after college. Geewiz, I could give 2 craps how fast they could learn office or adobe, the resume says they don't know it now. All the care about is the key words. You completely missed the point.
I use trader joe's now or whole foods. But people look at me funny when I bring it to work and out to lunch from the office. No place i've ever seen carries anything but the Heinze standard plastic looking versions.
See this as a jumping point to a smaller company where you WILL get respect. In the big 4, you aren't focusing on technology. Our R&D are more focused on industry issues, rather than technology. Some of our largest apps still use.Net 1.0. And we have no need to go 2.0. Basically, do it for the pay, do it for the experience. Then move on. It takes a certain type of person to work for a big 4. It is your life. Are you ready for it?
I played from beta to about 2004 and things were a little more exciting then, I think maybe more players have hurt the game as it gets harder to topple an alliance. It used to be large groups would build war machines in secret then take out empires on the weekends.
Almost every event in that game is player organized. And when it's not, the GMs come in and play characters and create events that shape the content and the game. Nations rise and fall in Eve, because it's all player driven. Ask Eve players why they think the concept is better. Especially ask the people who still play after like 4-5 years.
the whole point is not "whatever". the point is people want to play games that aren't 2-3 years old. I like having new games around and playing on any *nix system was a chore.
Are you stating that all linux users should be happy with their old games? I find it very worth while to have windows installed.
I can't be trying to do a quest and have people who can't understand "Ok, sap that guy." or "Please don't break that sheep"
Most end game raids require CTRaid, Ventrillo, Decursive....So non-english speaking players set this up with ease? and then communicate on vent easily? No...it's a matter of "is this guy gonna wipe us..." the answer is usually yes.
I think things like camping people 30 lvls below you doesn't have anything to do with anonymity, it's all about someone being a total ass. If you're an ass in real life, you're gonna gutter fck lowbies in nessing's. It's what you do.
Personally, most of my guild won't bother killing another player unless it yields honor. Once someone doesn't yield honor, you're gonna kick thier ass.
Lots of people are jerks and have no outlets for being jerks.
And on a side note...why a paladin? That's a class for total pussies. Plate, low mana costing heals, ability to use strong weapons and a shield that has NO DAMAGE LIMIT AND IS NON DISPELLABLE.... When I see a pala, I just walk away, not worth my effort.
maybe it's time to reroll a class that takes skill:D
WoW has always had issues with getting any feedback from the developers. Just see every patch how they nerf things without any note on the patch notes. This is common to many games sure. But Blizzard has been making so many changes that really change game play. Today was a first...real data explaining changes:

I love how it's all guys, except for one girl on the main list.
and that one girls's idea?
Virtual Closet. Grats.
I played Eve-Online for years, switched to wow, got to 60, did some core, got my tier 1, now i'm going back to eve cause WoW is boring :(
EVE is the only game i've ever seen, who made a system, where casual/hardcore are the same. Being uber only means you can play many roles.
what kind of person comes to slashdot to converse in proper english? get a life
how do you guys get MC and BWL on farm status without those?
