    how in christing fuck does some software licensing compare to feelings of loss or grief caused by someone's death? Thousands of people have already died today. How are you dealing with all that loss or grief?

    Why did you bother to post?

    It's simple jealousy. The look, the dance, the jokes, Tauren have it all. If Tauren could be rogues, there would be no reason to roll any other race. I don't know why Blizzard overlooked this, as Tauren are naturally stealthy.

    You are correct. It seems to me, that the Slashdot community would rather place all the blame on Microsoft, or big business in general, or the President (not in this case, but many others), rather than on Congress. The only interesting things about this is that they would have the best chance of influencing their represenatives from Congress, and that Congress is probably the most powerful branch of the government.
    It's easier to bitch than to actually try to make changes.

    I'm not forced to gank anyone. I do it for fun. Just like the higher levels do to me as I'm leveling. Thats how the game is played. You can play on a normal server and never have to run into this. Instead of name calling, how about just accepting that not everyone wants to play by your rules? I mean most of us have grown up enough to understand that not everything can go our way.

    Here's a better idea: why not go from one student armed to no students armed. It's absurd to solve a gun problem by throwing more guns at it. Congratulations! You posted the stupidest thing I've read this year. How about we try this on a national scale. We can ban guns entirely, then nobody will have guns and everything will be sunshine and rainbows.

    Grow up. The world is a shitty place full of shitty people. Having nobody armed isn't going to happen. All it takes is one nutcase to fuck up your whole plan. If this weren't the case, we wouldn't be having this discussion.

    Again, you are just making excuses. Nobody is forcing you to grief. Nobody is forcing you to be an asshole.

    I am playing the game as I was taught to play. You don't seem to understand the rules of our game. It's better that you don't play it.

    It's not a matter of skill.

    Some people can do it, you can't. If it makes you feel better to think that it's not a matter of skill, go ahead and think that.

    I wouldn't want to play a singleplayer game where, at any moment, an incredibly powerful and invincible enemy may appear and kill you instantly.

    I wouldn't either. I stay out of zones in WoW that are too high for me too.

    I've had enough of this, you don't seem to understand the game. And to live up to the label you've placed on me, I think I'll go ganking tonight.
  15. Re:This tunic brought to you by... on How Pro Gaming Will Change World of Warcraft · · Score: 1

    I'm going to go over this one more time. There is no griefing, just a different set of rules. Everyone on a PVP server has agreed to play by these rules. One of the rules is that once you go into contested territory, you are willing to pvp. By doing this, you understand that a high level player on the opposing faction may come along and waste you. If that's not how you want to play, the normal servers are available. It's not that hard to understand.

    It's too bad you're not good enough to escape a higher level player. Abilities work against players many levels above you. You'll have a higher chance of failure due to the level difference, but it's not impossible. Well, with an extreme level difference, you dead, but then you go get your corpse and get on with your life.

    I threw out that "pussy server" remark to get a reaction. But really, a lot of games have a hard mode and an easy mode. I don't want to play on easy anymore.

  16. Re:This tunic brought to you by... on How Pro Gaming Will Change World of Warcraft · · Score: 1

    You seem a little stupid, so I'll explain this again. People that purposely roll on a PVP server understand that they may be killed by players that are a lot higher level than them. It is part of the game. It is not griefing. It is also nothing like an aimbot or walllhack. It is not cheating. It is the way everyone on the server has agreed to play the game.

    Mobs take longer to kill than low level players, They are not more challenging. A low level player may be resourceful and lucky enough to get away. Mobs won't. They'll run away for a bit then come back to you. So you just keep thinking that you're skilled, and those mobs are really hard. You're not. They're not.

    There is no griefing on pvp servers, dickhead. You roll on one, you know you're going to get ganked, camped or whatever. If you don't want any part of it, roll on a pussy server. Those AI mobs are quite challenging too.
